What is Bounty portals? -> BountyPortals is an automated bussiness created for making bounty campaigns much more easier for the issuer and the people that realizes the tasks. This company has been created by a well-known forum member @Irfan_Pak10 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=350580)

WHAT HAPPENED?

- BountyPortals started the Howdoo's bounty campaign, which started on April 10 of this year (https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/3294793.0). It had an allocation of aproximately 1 million tokens (roughly a million dollars on their tokens)

Everything was going well, the bounty manager (irfan) was very communicative and responsive with all the applicants... So.. when the problem started?

1) The bounty ended 25 days later than the first date, it ended on July 23rd... Till the next few weeks, we have never received an update coming from the team, after a huge pressure from the community, David Brierley, the CEO, stated that the bounty payments were going to be paid in 3 batches.

- October 1st (33% of the total allocation for each user)
- November 1st (33% of the total allocation for each user)
- December 1st (33% of the total allocation for each user)

2) Okay, we waited from the 2nd week of August till a few days before the first date, October the 1st.. But, guess what happened? The day that they should be paying, David Brierley, Mark Pierring (Founders of the company) & Irfan Pak (Founder of BountyPortals) started to claim that there was "Fraud" on the campaign, specially on the Facebook Sheets.

Everything was good, we all are capable of waiting a few more days, they said that in a few days they were gonna fix the final sheet and we all were gonna receive our payments, 7 days later, on October the 8th, they finally said that "distribution was started".

Of course that it was false, none of us received our payments for our efforts.

So, why it is a scam?

None of the bounty participants received a single token.
The "Telegram Bounty channel" Was deleted.
They censor every person that talks about bounty on the "main telegram channel"
Irfan_Pak10 has disappeared from the Bounty thread, he is no longer replying messages on telegram either.

3) They said that if we want to receive our tokens, we need to send a telegram message to the CEO (Which is always ignoring our messages),
I talked with him, and he never replied me back (always promised to check my bounty later, but, i talked with him 8 days before, till now, nothing).

I know for a fact that a lot of bounty hunters are fraudsters themselves. They steal other peoples memes and Youtube videos and pass them off as their own as well as use false names and other tactics. Disgusting behavior which ruins bounty hunting for those who are conducting themselves in an honest way. The team needs time go through and check everything that was submitted is legit. What else are they supposed to do, just give out tokens to fraudsters? Obviously time is needed to sort through this. Funny how scammers are accusing the project of being scammers. If people conducted themselves in an honest and ethical manner when taking part in these things there would be no issues. Wait and be patient and if you are one of the very few honest bounty hunters you will get your rewards. If you are not, then stop crying and go somewhere else. Best of luck.
