Post by: misterbones on April 20, 2017, 07:58:59 AM
Hello Everyone

We have seen so many scams these years so we have taken this on us to do some policing .
We need to save our bitcoin community from these scammers and make them liable .

Here is all the info about the ZETH Scammer  
More info coming soon

The guy who made the zeth scam had posted two freelancing jobs on XBTFreelancer

https://www.xbtfreelancer.com/user/34230?return=profile32727

This is the guy .

1st project for the ICO crowdfunding website

The freelancer who did that work was contacted and all the evidence is here

1st THE ICO WEBSITE WAS TAKEN DOWN

The freelancer opened it so we could see :-

See the link which is highlighted and match it with the link of the website and how similar the zeth ico looked

All IP show the location as Perth Australia .
If he would be using VPN or TOR then the location would have been in Europe or spread across different countries .

I thing that posting personal info in a public forum is also considered privacy violation......
So maybe you spot a scammer, but scammer could grab 10x times more profit by be the part where his information has been posted without his permission.

The scammer is from Perth , Australia .

How do u know? If u base ur assumptions on the fact that he uses australian IP, I can argue that he could be behind VPN or another anonymizer running in the background for instance a browser extension. Get me more evidence, and I will travel to him and kick his scammy ass. $150 USD lol That college boy doesnt seem to be earning any money on xbtfreelancer.

No , all the ip address point to same place in perth australia maybe 500 meter to 600 meter away from the location but all ip's point to the same place .
1 ip is of austria that's all

so 90% of the chance is he is from perth .

Everyone need to start collaborating to stop those scammers. This cant continue like this. We are yr 2017 after all and those scams are doing harm to the ecosystem!

On zion project, he got away because it was small money but now it is more than 134,000$.

Prove us all wrong if you want BenBTC! But to now, you are considered as a scammer by the overall inveestors

This dirty coq sucking scamer, this is not the treatment we, and I speak for BTC enthusiats deserve. Do you really think you can get a long with this this time? No the answer is. Refund the people who sent you btc or eth and make a clean table.
You basically did not deliver anything, you seem not able to send zeth token to the twitter guys who trusted , not to mention to the invesotrs who gave you their hard earned money, which they could spend for other not crypto related stuff.
You must be a bad person not knowing any kind of honesty or decency. A man one word, I was told many times by wise men, and I know a lot of them, I am Kung Fu fighter and I tell you one thing dishonesty is something which deserves the most brutal punishment in the lessons of Kung Fu.
You shall stand down for a while and really stat thinking of what you did, and whether you really think it is the right thing.

You still have the possibility to refund the community so think about it. Decide for yourself what is the right thing.

Some of the IPs used are APNIC (Sydney Wireless), so unlikely they were accessed via TOR or VPN.
At first glance this does appear to me to be Australian based.
See for yourself... Just search the different IPs listed...
https://who.is/
http://wq.apnic.net/whois-search/static/search.html  ( If APNIC assigned for more details )

The freelance profile image used is ripped off some 'Asian Men HairStyles' websites according to google image reverse search.

I would suggest reporting this to ACORN (Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network)  https://www.acorn.gov.au/
I'm sure that with the Five Eyes tech they have available, they could sniff him out with the data available.

Doubt anything will happen, lots of scams and fuckers seem to slip through.

Benbtc seems to be wasting time hoping people will forget about their investment and slowly disappear.

People are still waiting on getting their useless coins lol...off course on his scammy little shit forum he must have a few accounts defending his scam or else there are people that defend shit like this still which is sad.

Exactly, professional scammers always use Tor or VPN for fake IP. It is difficult to trace the real IP. If the Aus IP is real, why victims don't report police?   ::)

In this Internet scam case, I think only Australian citizens can report police, otherwise ppl in other countries can't help a lot.

yup benbtc or what ever the fuck this scumbag name is has been running scams for quite some time.

Zeth thread has been deleted and move to archives here. Zeth.tech has been bombarded with spam, he doesn't even know how to delete it.

I believe his new scam was Alenium...another bullshit project. Luckily we caught on early and warned people. Didn't work out and voila, he went inactive lol.

Sold my Zeth for a 50% cut but lucky to have sold. Already made back my losses so did get away easy with this one. Honestly quite embarrassed I fell for this, the fomo took over lol :D
