1) Before starting any type of work, review the project's whitepaper/website/blog posts.

I have been doing bounty programs for almost a year and participated in numerous campaigns but I didn't read any whitepaper even one. What I'm doing is just a fast scan of their whitepaper and to watch their videos regarding their project.
This is the truth. Even you did a in-depth review if it will be fail or a scam in the future, it will.
2) Join the project's Telegram group and ask questions, and/or resources to use.

This is a good strategy too. Asking some questions and resources to the dev team and if they can't provide anything, that is considered a reg flag already.
All in all this 3 strategies are worth to do if you really want to become a bounty hunter but in my opinion, it can't prevent you from getting scammed. Yes it can increase your bounty rewards but as I said, if it will be a scam in the future they will
