It is really hard to detect scammed bounty campaign. After completing all the requirements to be able to get accepted in a bounty campaign, spending much time to participate in forums and not to mention carrying their banners, completing all the tasks and reports then all of a sudden you will just find out that you have been scammed already. Luckily I am not the only one but to think all participants did the same efforts as well as you did. But it is really happening, lesson learned and could be just charge it to experience and move on. If we could only find out at early stage if we were in to scam or a legit bounty campaign. Anyways who would really know?

It happens. You get unlucky sometimes. It is important to note though that a scam campaign is different from failed campaigns. Some are legit but failed to raise the soft cap which eventually leads to bounty hunters not getting paid.

Basically scammed practices can be found when scammers promise big money. They cheating mostly this way.

Maybe at first they are not really scammers, it just turned out that the ico projects and all did not succeed. I was also a victim of scam icos, twice actually. We can never know if it is a scam or not because we just learn about it right after the bounty has ended. It is just too sad because we wasted our time and effort doing all the stuffs needed to complete the requirements needed to get some stakes. But even if it happened to us, I think it is also a lesson learned. We must be careful in choosing which ico or bounty to join, we should not be blinded by the promises that are too good to be true. So some research and always check the whitepaper and the roadmap of the project.

Yes you are right, it's very difficult to distinguish a projecy that is scam or not. As with cryptocurrency price predictions, if we do not do a fundamental analysis before join a partisipating, then most of us wil find a project scam. I think, we should not only see how much the bounty fund allocation, but rather to the development and potential of the project.

I can't know a good bounty program. I am not sure about the bounty program this year. many scams, scams and failures. Can you share a good way to choose a quality bounty program?

For me, I choose bounty campaigns the same way I would choose ICO's. Do a little reading first. After that, determine if it has a real use case, if it has a good #DevelopmentTeam .

I read the opinions of experts and look at their reviews. I look at the project team and advisors.After that, I make a decision to participate,but there are still risks.

[Bitcoin_Play]

I completely agree with you. But you can check from the bounty manager(well known ones are less likely to be a scam) or search the project visuals from google for starters.

Obviously not! Just need some attention and time to read some important things in bounty. First of all ICO- check that project ICO os avaliable on all ICO websites or not. Next one is Website- if website is proffessional designed with all information then it is good. Next need to check is whitepaper, roadmap and in last bounty details. If everything is ok, then you're doing a good bounty which will definitely paid.

Its kind of hard because you don't know the main hidden agenda of the bounty manager, especially if the bounty manager is not of the team.

Those who are managing bounties for some time and definitely already has a track record of paying on time then I would for that manager because most likely they would review the ICO first before accepting the project since it will also tarnish their reputation when they accept a project that most likely will be a scam.

[expander]

Indeed, in fact it is very difficult to recognize an ICO Project that is Scam and that really isn't a Scam. But you can research it before you invest in an ICO project or join the Bounty Campaign. You can check the Website, Project team, Target marketing and others. Possibly from there you can decide whether the project is Scam or not.

Knowing the good and legit bounty campaign is very difficult, even we read the white paper but still scammer is very smart, i don't know, only the bounty manager sometimes is the one who know deeply the campaign.
