A lot of projects are scamming Bounty Hunters and taking Bounty hunters for a ride. What can we do to stop this?
Unfortunately, but you can not protect 100% against scam. In my opinion, there are only two things you can do to reduce the risk of being cheated:
1. Choose only campaigns run by trusted managers (they should verify the credibility of the project before cooperating with it).
2. You need to verify by yourself if the project is credible by checking the dev team, whitepaper, roadmap, etc.
