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. Who would really know anyway?
It is very difficult to detect a scam project at the beginning of the campaign. Because the project looks good and is wrapped so perfectly. But after being in the middle of a trip or the project has finished, it is known that the project is problematic. In my opinion who can know if this project will be a scam in the end? No one can predict that. We may have accepted the fate of each of us and accepted what had happened even though we were careful in choosing projects.
