TO ALL GMB INVESTORS: STOP SUPPORTING THIS SCAM - ASK YOUR MONEY BACK AT support@coinexchange.io

COINEXCHANGE.IO IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS - THEY SHOULD JUST DELETE THIS ICO AS IT'S PROVEN SCAM

Hello, this is redcastle owner of The Vegan Initiative: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1816175

I'm here to expose fake alt-accounts and spam system involving GMB - Gambleo (ICO running at CoinExchange.io https://www.coinexchange.io/market/GMB/BTC) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1822444.0

This is what's happening: from the day GMB ICO started, they came to my thread screaming scam and throwing all the false accusations possible. The only reason is that I am crowdfunding another project on the same website. These users are in particular:

mrmind (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=300660)
montanajacob (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=299298)
staceykersey  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=310981)

This is an example of their posts (that they deleted after I spotted them):




And this is what they post inside GMB thread:




This is nothing more than shilling + FUD. They wanted to take down XVE to make people invest in GMB instead. Even the dev captaincomet posted into my thread:

https://i.imgur.com/zuK6wta.png

Why a developer from another coin should post inside my thread, supporting scam accusations and FUD? He obviously deleted this message after I told him!!!

Also, they are spamming this ICO around the forum with stuff like this (username montanajacob - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=299298;sa=showPosts):

https://i.imgur.com/qJPEryw.png

All these users are/were wearing Gambleo signatures. Some of them after being spotted tried to remove any reference to Gambleo but I got proof anyway. I posted into GMB thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1822444.msg18236626#msg18236626 and that's when the weird stuff started to happen. Instead of giving me answers in thread, the developer captaincomet immediately sent me PMs:

https://i.imgur.com/OOrZd2n.png

In just few minutes he reached "mrmind" (himself) and make him delete his posts (please look at the time in the screenshot):

https://i.imgur.com/2D8X90f.png

Since he knows he has been spotted, after just 3 minutes he started threatening me:

https://i.imgur.com/Z0SqfdT.png

He got nervous. Him and his friends sent me like 2 pages of PMs asking to remove my comments. Since they have been spotted, I was receiving help proposals, they offered themselves to spam in my thread to help me, and suddenly the same people that were fudding XVE started supporting it. It's weird isn't it?

After the threats they tried to corrupt me proposing help in XVE promotion, full PM reference can be found here (notice how he floods me with private messages and how nervous he looks):

Updated screenshots of today (still posting photos of money, same shilling style from different users):

https://i.imgur.com/KAF2GTA.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/euwIYOu.jpg

They are also spamming and misbehave inside CoinExchange.io trollbox. A worried XVE investor that was chatting sent me a series of screenshots, in the first one you can see captaincomet, disguised as "GAMBEO", talking to himself "Deadpool". This is what happened: Deadpool was making fake questions to himself, but he got wrong and instead of giving answers as "GAMBLEO", he answers as "Deadpool":

https://i.imgur.com/6o2Iobh.png

In CoinExchange Trollbox, at least 3 users are captaincomet and/or his team, this is the nickname list:

- GAMBLEO (captaincomet)
- wingsao
- Deadpool (captaincomet alt-account)
- StateBank100
- viptrader

You want proof? Here is wingsao and Deadpool throwing fud at my coin XVE, and after they're spotted, supporting XVE out of the blue (as ordered by captaincomet when trying to make me retire my accusations):

CoinExchange.io will be warned about your scam attempt! Next time, don't fuck with Vegans! ;)

COINEXCHANGE.IO IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS - THEY SHOULD JUST DELETE THIS ICO AS IT'S PROVEN SCAM

TO ALL GMB INVESTORS: STOP SUPPORTING THIS SCAM - ASK YOUR MONEY BACK AT support@coinexchange.io

For your accusation, I think the project may not be a scam, but those people who attacked you are spammer.

Some people are paid shills for promoting them, I have to ignore that project now.

Will be adding a post for xve and its fake shill accounts please wait

Most dramatic stuff is that they go to XVE and QUANTUM ico to fud.
Why tha fuck developer go to orher coins thread to fud/spam?
That GMB developer spent more times to fud your coin XVE and then sending excuse PM instead of working on his projet.

I looked all hystory. He opened GMB thread and immidiately start to post on XVE and other ico project to fud.
Crazy.

Normally this happen when a dev know his project is or scam or with lo potential against other project, and he try to fud other projects thinking to gain attention.

Truth is alwasy in middel, BUT, i didn't see XVE or QUANTUM supporter/investor going to GMB thread to fud.

So, all started from GMB.

And this is your only answer after all of this? ::)

Your coin is dead, contacting CoinExchange right now.

As far as I can see the proof, it's more of a spam and troll attempt rather than a scam. They haven't scammed or tried to extort in any way but yes, spamming and trolling is bad from their end. They need to stop spreading FUD about other coins.

It's a scam also because the developer is using fake accounts on CoinExchange to make people buy his coin, and instead of developing the coin he spams around the forum.

Agree. Every thread have their supporters, but GMB supporters/dev started to fud other coins thread at same time.
Poor trolling and spamming.

Remove my name from the thread , wingsao . I am an independent trader if my name is not removed .
You guys are going to pay for this

If a project is good, there's no need to throw false accusations against other people just because you are running another crowdfunding on the same website. Hope next time these kids will learn.

They already started threatening me, I'm receiving these PMs right now :D :

https://i.imgur.com/mSpQIbz.png

https://i.imgur.com/MY8aRQx.png

https://i.imgur.com/ZoA5eTE.png

That's the issue is spreading FUD and spamming. Till the project is still ON and the ICO will end in 2 days while their coin is being traded on coinexchange. I understand it's too immature from the admin's end but still many believe in both projects (yours and his) and it does not matter what the admin says or does. Hope that his project stays true to its word.

Then why the threats? If I'm innocent and I know I'm on the right side, I don't PM people with threats like they're doing to me right now :)

GMB Developer, in total panic, closed the unmoderated thread to open a self moderated one after my scam accusations.

Original thread (closed): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1822444.0

New self moderated thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1833790.0

If GMB is legit why this? ::)

Gambleo dev sure has a questionable conduct!

This is dumb. There's room enough in crypto for all kinds of ICOs. Deliberately tanking an ICO because
someone said something bad about yours hurts the investors more than anything and undermines faith
in crypto.

Does it suck that a few people are lambasting your own ICO? Yes it does. Frankly, if supporters of my
ICO were trashing another, I'd kick them out of the ICO, refund their money and not let them reinvest,
but that's just me.

But unless you have PROOF that captiancomet is using alts to trash talk your ICO, you're just as guilty
of spreading FUD as the trolls are.

Take a breath, calm down, and take the high road. Instead of trash talking GMB because their supporters
trash talked XVE, focus on and talk about the plans for and benefits of XVE. You will garner far more
respect from the community that way. You have supporters. I've seen them on the board and on
Twitter. It's all good.

I think both coins have possibilities, which is why I am promoting and buying both :)

Have you read the entire post? All the proof is above, it's not only fud: captaincomet speaking the same way with many alt accounts (please take a look at the pictures), promoting the coin to himself faking conversations on CoinExchange trollbox, hype-posting on his own thread and threatening me. It's not enough to call it scam? Really? :D

No posts or answers given by GMB dev after I spotted them. Literally disappeared. He is also deleting my posts inside the new self-moderated thread.

https://i.imgur.com/dkBbSI4.png

Took 20 minutes to read mate but I agree these kids are spammers

Oh there I've found the story interesting...but it's nothing new that the forum is full of fudder and shiller. But I like how XVE dev spotted them and exposed them to the community, now I didn't follow GMB very much, just bought 0.1 I can gamble it, but I will dump it a soon as it will be listed, just like I will do with XVE, but I will buy more there since the dev looks a bit more serious

For what it's worth from someone with 1 post, GMB ICO was being hyped up to holy hell in various trollboxes in the crypto community a few days back. I've seen comments by several individuals (one was "Deadpool") in the trollboxes at Bitmex and Polo exclaiming "Next 100x coin!" with a link to the ICO announcement thread here. I've never invested in an ICO before and was giving serious thought to GMB until I saw the comments were by the same person as well as redcastle's comments in the now abandoned ANN thread.



T.

They were spamming everywhere trying to get as much Bitcoins as possible. If a dev spend his days spamming instead of developing then it's clear that his only goal is the money and not the coin.

GMB is scam and shitcoin... everyone that invested will loose their money

You do realize CoinExchange has an ad on their side box right above their troll chat box. :P
It is a nice little orange picture logo of the ICO and the date that it will end to buy them.

I wouldn't doubt if this exchange was owned by the operator of the whole GMB - Gambleo scam coin ICO hype machine.

They look alot like gamebet coin - GGBet to all the investors of that scam ICO coin early last year at about this time.
Every year this guy comes back to the forum around the same time just under a different name.
Last time it was Dailymodo and gamerfan.
Just do a background check on them and I wouldn't doubt they are the same ones behind this gambling coin too
 ;)

This comes at no surprise.  90% of posts in this section sound like they come from robots.  I'm surprised this forum doesn't crack down on these accounts.

I learned my lessons about scams in 2014, so I'll never send 1 cent to an ICO. 

GMB dev captaincomet is a bought account. Look at his post history here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=312849;sa=showPosts;start=160 he was chinese before he started his scam ICO? :D
(saved here in case he wants to delete the chinese posts: https://i.imgur.com/1pcazXl.png)

hi dev  ;D
you just saved my ass from investing 1BTC in GMB.  >:(
thanks  8)

Dont give money to GMB... they are scammers!!!

A good ICO is XVE - The Vegan Initiative... you can buy them in Coinexchange

No more posting on GMB thread, I guess I was right.

Some people (maybe dev itself) still buying the ICO
 BUMP this thread to save possible investors

The only exchange that they are on is showing it as a 'featured coin" right above the troll box on coinexchange.io. It clearly says "BUY THE ICO NOW" in bold letters. :-\
Maybe they are the marketers and affiliated with the coin's development. :-\
Someone should investigate further into who owns this exchange and if they have any connection with GMB in any way possible.
You might come to see who the root of all these shilling is really coming from. :-[
Just a suggestion to the many who seem to be against them and screaming scam before they even launch in less than 24 hours.
Might as well try and derail this the train before it leaves the station with everybodys trust and more importantly their hard earned BTC and all their investors money. :(

Captaincomet has stopped responding to all accusations they are a false ico and will eventually run away as soon as they have as much investor's money secured away and have topped their pockets full.
Isn't that what happens with these ico's in the first place when they know they were planning to do that from the very start? ::)

We will all know in a day's time what becomes of them! >:(

refund requested from coinexchange, i thought they made escrow, seems not, seems i missed something....
 
answer from support@coinexchange.io


Hi -

All ICO trades are final, no refunds.

The market will be open in just over a day.

I suggest selling your coins when the market starts.

Regards

So the ICO ended and is on coinexchange but the countdown for it ended earlier today. So what came of this?
Were any of the GMB bounties paid out to the campaigners/translators/team members?
Or is it officially stamped as scam? :P

So has the coin been dumped and forgotten today?
It's worth nothing now am I right?
I think the creator of this coin and ico runner made away with all investors funds. :P

This sucks. I actually believed the guy. Bought some of his coin and promoted him too. Shitty way to treat
investors.

Xve dev is a hero now!!!

Gmb dev closed thread leaving all investors scammed. Even no source and wallet was delivered.

Coinexchange need to apologize for that or he is involved as well

Yep, the DEV is gone with the investors 15BTC, the price of the coin is dropping.  No wallet, no nothing.  SCAM COIN!!!

XVE Dev is the man. He's the one that discovered the scam first and warned all investors long time before the ICO ended. :-\

COINEXCHANGE is involved in GMB scam as well. Many times was reported about what was happening, he always ignored all community!!!! Probably he even threat xve dev

And look at that, this user on coinexchange trollbox WINGSAO

For all xve ico duration:
Fudding XVE and promoting GMB, threating every user with bad words and personal threat specially to XVE investors!!!!

https://i.imgur.com/HxL3Nmz.png

Right after GMB ico ended COINEXCHANGE made him Moderator...Coincidence? And he start to ban all user supporting XVE!!!!!
He WROTE SEVERAL TIME THAT CAN'T SUPPORT COINS SINCE HE'S A MODERATOR, BUT HE ALWAYS MADE HYPE ON GMB AND SOME OTHERS SHITTIE COINS!!!!!

https://i.imgur.com/X1teh9C.png



COINEXCHANGE nothing to say?

Those are coinexchange moderators....people that threat inverstors. Shame on you!

More to come.


Here the moderator bans XVE supporters just for letting know that XVE is traded as XVEG (different ticker) on Tradesatoshi.
The Vegan Initiative is in fact traded as XVEG on Tradesatoshi https://www.tradesatoshi.com/Exchange/?market=XVEG_BTC

Coinexchange threat also other exchanges as well

https://i.imgur.com/qKyTfU7.png

https://i.imgur.com/0GJEX0W.png


And ban every users supporting XVE:

https://i.imgur.com/lMyFxj5.png


BUT THEY ALWAYS SPENT GOOD WORDS ON GMB ICO SCAM EVEN MODERATOR!!!!

wow a lot of clue spotted! the gmb dev has been a fool and now people got scammed and him is sitting on a 15k$ bag...well done :D

He's not a fool, he's a thief!!  Stating he has been getting death threats.  Yea right... 

CoinExchange doesn't even seem to care about this story and their moderator is a clown promoting random coins and talking about future pumps, not professional at all.

How do you know it was only one person in on this scam ICo anyways?
From the looks of it there was a minimum 3 other members here.

15BTC is no joke. They should file a complaint to this the domain they were hosting their site where the people where sending payments too also the exchange that agreed to place there coin on their respected site.
The people should fight against this type of thing from happening again and again everytime I see coming into the alternative crypto thread section. >:(

Nobody cares mate neither the people scammed by this cunt
 I bet they're happy they lost their bitcoins if they stay silent

The problem is I don't even see a domain in the announcement. Should I say he is a clever scammer?  ;D

Original poster warned days before but people bought anyway lol

I invested a little on this and I have to say that CoinExchange must have some responsibility on this,
and more when there are proofs that the ICO is going to be a SCAM, why they charge a fee? for doing nothing
nor take any responsibility?. Great business then....

I mailed them before the ICO was over,

Dear Sirs,

Yesterday March 18th I made an investment in the ICO that currently is being offered in your website for the crypto Gambleo (GMB) and that it will end on March 22nd.

This morning I have seen that there high probabilities that the ICO could be a scam, according to some info published in the forum bitcointalk's thread of this ICO, same thread that appears in your website and that the dev has closed.

There is also in Bitcointalk another thread regarding Scam and fraud accusation in this ICO which has convinced me to abort this investment.
You can see what I mean in the following link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1833775.0

Due the above, please, I would like you refund me the investment.
Details of it are the following:

and this was their reply,

Hi -

Thank you for your email.

While we understand your concern I am afraid to inform you that ICO buy orders are non refundable.

I suggest you try and sell the GMB you purchased as soon as the ICO ends. Or try and get a refund directly from the GMB development team.

I am sorry I cannot assist you further in this matter.

Regards

email: support@coinexchange.io
Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoinExchangeio

I replied them again and I did not received any new from them, very professional these guys...

Dear sirs,

I understand your position but I disagree with that in those cases when the ICO it is proved to be a scam/fraud like this one.

If finally I have to wait until ICO ends and try to sell ,ok, I will do it but then I don't see clear what is Coinexchange responsibility when an offered ICO is a fraud?

Does that means that everybody could arrange with you an ICO and then run with the money after demonstrating that is a scam and you don't take any responsability after CHARGING a fee to the buyers for the purchase?.
Then it is a great business for you and for the scammers.

Regards


Sadly I haven't had internet access until my return back to my country so I couldn't sell (as I said it wasn't so a big amount but nobody likes being scammed).
So situation is that the dev is 15BTC richer, all the people has lost their money and nobody cares. Coinexchange.io has scammed me for the last time, this way they won't be bigger and PROFESSIONAL like Polo, Bittrex, BTC-e and others are. Hope they enjoy the SHITTY and SMALL business that they are, this is what you are going to be FOREVER. Proved that they only protect thiefs, scammers and they don't care about investors these actions don't give any trust to you for growing.
CoinExchange what are you going to do when your won't have big investors but only the scammers that you currently defend?.

https://i.imgur.com/dtdRvqE.jpg

This is the last message that the scammer put in the thread. So, will bitcointalk banned these accounts? I know it might be useless but at least banning action must be executed.

What the heck did he expect was going to happen when he stole people's btc here? Kind words and flowers? ::)

I think it was planned out from the very start and he just used the accusations as a final fake excuse to run.

I had seen many others warning of them being a serial scammer using ico schemes to proliferate their plights even further.
Saying it was a rival ico (vegan) just causing their ico to plummet in price before the ico was released on coinexchange just days before was just pure bs. And they knew exactly what they were doing.

I have no doubt they were the ones behind countless of other ico who went full retard and who have scammed over the years.

They see this forum as an easy target (new to ICO and how they work) for them to keep coming back at the same time of the year being March and April when people have tax refunds available or when they have run out of the money they have stole from the year before. So to replenish their bank accounts again with these stolen funds from all ico investors here on this forum.

I don't think there were death threats at all. I think he used the growing outrage to fabricate an 'out'
for himself. I feel crappy because I actually promoted the ICO. Yes, I received a bounty (in GMB, not
BTC) but I also invested my own money.

I'm probably going to sell off my GMB for whatever I can get, buy DOGE or something else interesting
and do another giveaway.

I sure hope you didn't invest to much of your own money and in that I mean btc into it.
How much did you get from your bounty anyways?
I remember seeing 1000 of those gmb worth 0.004btc before the ico was released but now those same 1000 are worth 0.0002btc. So don't expect to get too much for what you have from this failed ico I would guess to think.

Guys the story is short. There is a scammer on twitter called Crypto Whale (@crypto_whale100). He promoted(maybe created too?) FSN, ELS, MRSA, ARGUS,QUANT etc (all scams) by saying that they are getting to poloniex soon while the premine(his?) was getting dumped on suckers who believed him. When this scam tactic became too obvious, he started prompting noobs to direct message him in order to learn the new "x100" coin. In that way those who knew he was scammer, would not learn whih coin was scam immediately. I sent him a dm and he said the coin was guess what... GMB which now only 400sat and it will be 40k on launch etc(After dumping premine or at least just increasing the price of scams with lies, he decied to turn to ICO now). Of course I unerstood right away it's (his?) scam. Beware he maybe has many other accounts which always shill the same coin as him. Their style is the same and all of them are low quality accounts. I think he might also be that coinexchage moderator. Just compare that mod with Crypto Whale's tweets. Its a shame for coinexchange.

So your saying this guy who created all these ico scams is the same guy on twitter?
Can you post screenshot proof of these tweets maybe?

Nope, he's telling that coinexchange moderator was invovled in GMB scam. check how he fud other ico's and hype only GMB by screenshot.

Sad, coinexchange didn't say nothing about GMB ico,and still haven't released source. If coinexchange have accepted ico, at least, they have a source to show to community.

Shocking!!!!!!!!!! What they did is a joke :-X

If the coin dev dumped his premine, I have no comment on it, all I can say is the coin with no future, or maybe he is a lier who promised listed in poloniex or Mars... But GMB definitely is a scammer because he run away with ICO. Two different story.

This cunt is still online https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=312849 and few of his alt accounts too to shitpost and gain Edgeless tokens from signature campaign

Bittrex does so, they only charges the listing fees, but never admit they allow scams.

But Bittrex has more backing and has been around longer then they have.
So in that aren't they more reliable then a site that just been around for a year and just lists the coins they want to?
No matter if they are scam coins or not. :-\

Lol captaincomet scammed and nobody is doing something
people are happy to be scammed here ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Like what?  The DEV is gone, the exchange doesn't give a shit.

This is what happens in the exchange ICO , He though that if he starts the ICO in exchange then it will look genuine. and how the coinexchange have approved it and i am seeing lot of them have invested and the price is immediately gone down and no one is their to support it.

It was clear before the ICO was over that this coin is nothing but a scam.  Many people asked coinexchange for a refund (thinking they were acting as an escrow service), the exchange told the to fuck off.  The exchange gets paid, the DEV gets paid and the people buying coins get screwed.

I know better, I have gotten bitten in the ass by other ICOs, I swore I would never invest in one again.  I didn't lose much, but I got bit again.  So once again, I will NEVER support another ICO again.  They are all scams.

Open scam accusation thread against coinexchange then
If you don't means you like to lose your money and not even complain
New thread can help people not to invest they have already other 2 icos now

I thought the developer of GMB was genuine even though he was trolling but now he's just locked his thread and is inactive on the forum. He's not even replying to any queries on the bounty thread. May be he will never respond now :(

I don't think he will reply anymore. Scammer had his money now, this the end of the story. Although it is much less than his expectation, lol...

This thread is full of proofs confirming he's a scammer and Coinexchange did nothing to help after admins were warned

Coinexchange wouldn't be bothered as once they get the listing money, they don't care about developers scamming the investor.s that looks shady on their part. I trusted the dev as he paid 0.01 for the translation as an initial bounty but now once the price has dropped, he disappeared saying he's being trolled and threatened.

CoinExchange must give answers to scammed people they were warned and did nothing to protect users.
