Bounty hunters got cheated again, actually is this ever going to stop? Do you guys remember OLPORTAL? Bounty hunters are asked to drop ETH address to get tokens and they end up forcing bounty hunters to go and download OLCF wallet and import recovery seed to receive tokens, how did they cheat? Their shit OLCF wallet only accepts Recovery seed only, leaving out those with private keys, you can only import if you are using mycelium or others like it but for those using multi wallet like Coinomi we are out of luck, the team just ignore others like that.
I am sorry to hear you got scammed. Unfortunately there is no way around it, there will always be people who want to profit from the success of others without doing the work. And especially in the last few month there was a big rally in crypto prices. I would argue that the higher the prices also the higher the number of scammers is going to be. For example, I have been trading a lot in CSGO skins over the last 4 years. There is a huge market with so many scammers that it is unbelievable, and they never disappear. Because the skins can be worth thousands of dollars, there will always be people you try to scam you. Which is really sad.
