In order to avoid bounty scams you need to consider 2 things:
1. CHECK THE PROJECT - you need to do research about the bounty, the project team, the whitepaper because some might just copy and paste it, the advisors, roadmap, bounty pool and ofcourse the founder you need to be a good observer, check their background because sometimes by just merely observing and reading you will know right away if the bounty is a scam.
2. CAMPAIGN MANAGER - the one that you should always consider, because if the bounty manager is scammer then the bounties itself is a scam, and it is really obvious if the bounty manager has a negative trust then surely he or she is scammer, one thing to consider also is the rank of the bounty manager the higher the rank the higher the legit factor, you can always do research here there are many list of legit and reliable bounty manager and the list of all bounty manager scammers.

Real newbies actually worming around beginners and help section mate not here. I really looking to help them you can better move this thread to there. Even that would be much useful one.
Other than every should reach more about the project before they go to invest and join in bounties. To safer side, you can be part of some good bounty campaign managers project. They are reliable in payment. You may find notification op says payment is not responsible by the manager. Please do not join those kind of campaigns at all.
