How to know bounty is a scam

Unfortunately there is no way to know from the beginning. You have to rely on the reputation of the manager, analyse information about the project and much more. Perhaps the service that collect statistics about the conducted bounty might be useful

There are many topics on this forum - how to choose a successful ico. But sometimes even they do not help and the project turns out to be a scam.

There are what we called instincts and identification. Reading the whitepaper and know the team in order to have something idea about scam or not.

Follow the groups of the project like facebook, twitter, and search for the visible team members. That will be a good move to follow the updates.

It's difficult to know in the first look but if you do a research about the ICO and the team behind or join in their telegram you will know the difference from other ICO and if something unusual you need to stay away from that bounty. It's better to find other bounty that you feel good.

To know bounty is a Scam, we have to check :

-The background of the project or company.
-There must have a product.
-Legal documents of the project.
-Their social media.
-Their Team members and Advisors reputation.
-Finally, Their concept.

And one additional way to know that bounty is a scam is,
 The Team.
Are the real names of the team provided? If you can’t find any information or section dedicated to their team members or the profiles provided seem a little too generic, be sure to do some deep research first.
Double check team members’ names with respect to their stated experience or ability to deliver.

Not only that let us not forget the visible active team is also important to let the people trust the project. If you encounter the invisible team and fb  page then you have the rights to think that it is scam.

It is difficult to know that the bounty is scam or not. But, we must analyze the team, ICO project and concept, and also the transaction. It can help us to minimize the risks.

When you bounty join the bounty before you should get all information about of the bounty like how is the bounty manger, his rank, how many people have joined this then you can know the which bounty is scam.

Unfortunately it is difficult to know bounty the scam. I participate in the bounty I choose according to my reasonable calculations. such as good allocation and team.

Now many scammers have learned to hide, which is very hard to see the truth. Sometimes it's impossible to guess at all.

It's pretty hard to tell, but there are things you can do to protect yourself.  Looking into the team beforehand is a good idea, if any reputable names are in there it's safe to assume they're legit.  Read through their whitepaper, if it's decently thought out and proofread, that's also usually a good sign.  Not to say a good whitepaper is the only standard, there are definitely some bounties I've done where the whitepaper was atrocious and they paid out.  It's probably in your best interests to not worry about who is trying to scam you and just do what you can with bounties.  You will lose more time trying to discover scams than if you just did the bounty itself.  Aside from signatures of course, they usually pay out the most and a scam one could cost you a decent amount.
