I've been hearing this for a while until it really happened to me ,I was promoting a bounty project and after a week I decide to check my spreadsheet to see if I've been approved or not ,well guess what I found? Someone else signed up for the bounty using my btt account info excluding only my wallet address ,swapped with another ETH address.
This is another tricks some scammers are pulling on this forum, getting someone to work for them while they sit back and get paid for work they never do.
Always make sure you check the spreadsheet of the bounty project you are promoting from time to time,who knows? You might be the next victim.
This warning is especially for newbies ,I bet they don't know that something like this can be put in motion so be careful.
Yes, this has long been a known method of fraud, and most of the managers of ICO bounty campaigns know about them. What surprises me in this case is that this time they used the profile of the younger member. Usually for such fraudulent purposes, accounts with high ranks are used, starting with a full member. Perhaps it was the calculation that such a duplicate should go unnoticed and did not chase after big profits here.
