Maybe you got into some scam project that already planing and using bounty hutter like that. They are the worst and you should know better when to join in scam bounty because you're helping them trick other people too.
True, this should be anticipated to promote the project scam, after the release in the market dump ensued and then left by the owner. Choose a bounty that has the potential to succeed.
LOL, as a bounty hunter, I found this is ridiculous. Yes, we all want to join potential projects that has the ability to be succeed. Yes, we all want to use our work to promote for quality projects that can bring profits to us and others. However, how can we avoid getting trapped by scammers? Of course, we'll do our best to choose a bounty campaign to join. Though, when we join a scam one, we're the one who also be scammed, how can you say that "bounty hunters joined scam projects are helping them trick others"? That's just unfair lol!
