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.
Bounty managers are responsible for this, they should double check if there are cheaters in their list, bounty hunters now are fully much aware of this, that is why they implement, posting authentication this is to make sure only participants can get in, but still double check your entries.
I had this situation. My bounty on the campaign was transferred to a fraudulent wallet. And when I started writing about this situation bounty Manager, he just ignored me. As a result, I was left with nothing. So it all depends on the bounty Manager.
