Bitcoin Forum

I want to warn the community of a recent experience I've had with a user named CasioK.

Our company has been seeking a bounty campaign manager. Casio joined our Slack two weeks ago and reached out to solicit his marketing services and help. We initially agreed to a total of .5 BTC for bounty campaign management and other marketing services. He was very proactive and responsive in selling his services. However, once payment was the experience was the complete opposite. He delivered none of the services he committed to and I had to continually track him down for updates. I demanded a refund and he stated he was repay us. But unfortunately this never occurred.  It’s been two weeks.  He even threatened that if I report this to the community that there is no chance we will get repaid.

This was the last of the funds our business had before our presale and so he put our foundation in a very compromising situation. We are a non-profit foundation whose mission is to help others so every dollar is critical for us. It's especially sad when people take advantage of others that are trying to do good for the world. Now we are out of funds to complete our marketing before our crowdsale.  :(

I know that I’m at fault for being naive and trusting him.  However, in my research he appeared to be a trust worthy guy. Looking back, I wish I would have initiated an escrow.

I warn everyone to not deal with CasioK and encourage others that has had a negative experience with him to share your experiences. His profile and our chat transcripts are shared below.

FYI, he’s known to use multiple profiles and have a team associates so be careful. Be cautious of the following accounts as well:
- kkjack789
- Lixer
- Rizky Aditya

If anyone has info about CasioK, let's please reveal him to protect the rest of the community.

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this user until this dispute is resolved.

Looks like another user reported another scam by CasioK as well:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2190646

Any solid proofs that they're connected to this person ? Let me know if you can find one.

Sorry for your loss,you should have dealt with them using an escrow.Either way,if they're an alt of the connected account,I fairly have an idea who this Indian dude is and I think I can help your recover your money.Let me know if you have their telegram/email/what'sapp.

Edit : 1 -Confirmed the guy is an Indian  Scum. (I'm so excited to bust his ass)

Like I mentioned in other thread I pay people to make posts and they all are new and separate so I am myself unsure whom I am dealing with, plus asking questions and anything is nothing wrong.

@grant_hero not sure why you are creating issues when I already am in contact with you, this all just hurts more rather than anything else.

Shut  up .You steal money,pump threads with your alt's and shit post all over the ICO threads.It's just a matter of time until I find information about you and we'll play games then.You know 6 BTC not taxed income stolen online with evidence can serve a good case in Indian Cyber Crime system.Let's see how far do you run with his 0.50 bitcoins.You still have time,pay him back.

Being in contact with someone holds no weight when you are promising them to pay them back everyday and it doesn't happen. It's been nearly three weeks of false promises for a refund.  What else would you expect for anyone in this situation?  Until you pay us back and resolve this situation, I have no choice but to warn the community.

I'd rather lose money and the protect the community then have more people impacted.  This forum was built by a community that seeks to help each other.  Not to support people that are here to intentionally hurt others for their own benefit.

See, first of all you are free to do whatever you want. I have not done anything wrong and neither would I ever. I have paid him 0.1 sometime ago ( some days ) and I even promised him for the rest but he wanted to create thread. No problems I will still pay him.

But well @grant_hero if you want to track me and get paid, then ok do that ways as I see joel saying. Let me know :)

Thanks for your support Joel.  I suspect that they are linked because while he was trying to sell me his services, he said he would pump up our thread as an example and did it with these accounts:
- kkjack789
- Lixer
- Rizky Aditya

Unfortunately, I don't have any other information regarding Casio but I'm with you in trying to discover who he is order to help the community.

You haven't done anything wrong?  That's the problem with people like you.  Like a drug addict, there's no accountability.  You have continually lied about repayment and you want to play the victim here?  it's been three weeks with continuous lies.  And your last comment, "Let me know :)" demonstrates how arrogant you are.  I've already considered the money lost because I have no faith in your words.  

Should you happen to surprise us and repay the funds, I'll gladly retract all of the messages and negative trust.  As a non-profit, every dollar goes a long way for us because we don't make revenue like normal companies.  Additionally, every dollar can be used to help people that really need it in this world.  And as I noted to you, this was the last of our funds before our pre-sale so we have no money left.  You have really compromised me and our business.

I'm already on the verge of finding your full Doxx,Aditya Sharma.Once I find it,I'm going to take the matter ahead legally.Escrow.ms know how bad Indian cops are they know you have been stealing money and they're even harsh when it comes to Cryptos.

Please pay him his 0.50 back.

Honestly CasioK, you are the biggest piece of shit I've ever dealt with in my life. Don't you dare pull the victim here, you are far from being one. Grant Hero is running a ico to help people, then you take their trust and guess what you do with it? Steal 0.5 of that user. I'm already tracking down what other accounts you have to help pump icos. This is the reason why China had to come in. You are squashing all of the new icos, to benefit yourself, which is unethical and also a bannable offense here.

I hope Joel does find your details and takes legal action.

Rizky aditya its indonesia name, and sorry I'm a little less understood, whether the above account list is controlled by own casioK? or is it controlled by some people?
Maybe i can help to track his social media.

1) Don't hire random baboons to manage anything (stick to established managers such as Yahoo, Lutpin, Edward, maybe me (disclaimer: I tend to reject due to lack of time)).
2) Don't give random baboons any money, use escrow.
3) Following those two, consequently, it is unlikely for you to get scammed like this.

Anyways, tagged.

Prepare a thread and a form to contact the police.

Um okay  :-[

We got him :). Just a couple of questions for op, when he was managing a bounty for you, did he offer to do the Ann thread bumping thing? I'm trying to find the icos that have hired him and am trying to track down his accounts and get them banned for good.

Does this mean jail time if Joel can pull through?

I would not think that there will be any jail time unless Joel can provide sufficient evidence to support that 'this' certain individual is CasioK himself. Even if he does, I would have to say that the police will have to conclude this through their own investigation. All that Joel can do is bring awareness to the forum community and the police in India. (I may be wrong- please correct me if I am)

I would have to think that as a manager himself, honesty and transparency would be the highest priority his job. Some people just can't get it....  :(

Why he is not being ban already? He has a network of 30 people! PUMPING AND MISLEADING ALL OF US!
- CASIOK
- Amir24

Both on same network what mod is waiting for?

A petition?

Moderator can not banning people because of this problem alone,
if they did it a lot of people will attacking the forum and the result will be questionable.
they are only banning people who is breaking the rule such as plagiarsm and else.
so,the only way that we can do is to give him a negative trust and then report it to the cops(if it's possible).

so what if the mod banned him ?
he will create another account and open up a thousand thread(for example) and it will affecting the forum overall.

I will do that once I have adequate information on him,in India,they call it filing an NC [Non Cognizable offence -> Means police officer has no authority to arrest without warrant]. I can simply walk to the nearest Police station and file one.I'll definitely ask the OP to provide me in writing about the case and  definite proof.I will have to submit those two documents along with their forum information.Since I can pull some Cyber Crime contacts in the nearest branch,they will consider my NC on the priority basis.

 Not sure about the Jail time but he's definitely going for a one night treatment so he can admit to the crime.Even if he comes out on a bail,his career would still be messed up considering he has a Case on him.I don't wish something bad for him but he should pay the OP back.

He did not scam but I was contacted by him

I was being given same thing some days ago as I have my own ico going on and he said he can keep my thread on first page all the time by making posts and i did not think he was right and asked him proofs that he can work and asked him to give me demo by showing some posts.

I asked him to show me that he can do work by giving him a thread and asked him to bump that thread and he made posts and the below accounts are linked to him

- coin@coin
- cryptovilnix
- fathamburger

and many more names he said he own those accounts

Do you want any help from me? I can send you all the skype conversation, the address I sent the money from. he confirming receiving and not delivering.

How can you say you did nothing wrong?!
You took the money, you did not fulfill your promises and you have not yet made a refund to them!
Just reading those chat logs was painful, I can not even imagine how it was for that man Damon...

Just step up, give them their money back, apologize and pray for forgiveness. Be a man!

I believe that is one of his other accounts of team members he is working with.  When he was selling me his ANN engagement services, he did a demo with the following three accounts:
- kkjack789
- Lixer
- Rizky Aditya

He said he was going to manage our bounty campaign and set it up that weekend.  That never occurred.  He also said that he would get his team to engage in conversations to our ANN.  He never provided any services after his demo.  He just took the money and ran.

He indicated that he managed the bounty campaigns for BananaCoin, RCT, Litra, MonkeyCapital, etc.  In comparison to the other bounty campaign managers we were in touch with, his pricing was better.  Since we are limited in funds as a non-profit, his pricing fit our budget better.  Looking back, we should have obviously known better...  You get what you pay for.

(Even checked his thread history and he had history of borrowing and paying back loans so we thought that he was a good soul.)

No no no! He didn't do anything for litra, when i contacted him, I said I may apply to be their bounty manager as they were switching or something..Their bounty managers both known! Go and check
Banana they fired him after very short time.

I did worked for LITRA and they even wanted the service more than anything LITRA owner tried to extort money out of me.

Side note : Everyone will get paid if you just allow some days, I am doing my best to manage eveything. And all those accounts names posted here are not mine nor I know them but anyways you guys may continue your case.

Haha, that's a whole load of crap. Before hiring someone to begin managing for you please take a look at the threads he made. Sure he managed banana coin, but it was only one week before he was fired for poor performance. And too further strengthen this case, a refund wasn't given to banana coin, but luckily it wasn't that big of an amount.

Don't think he even talked to the Litra guy, managers of Litra were me, and Hashforce101.

Why would an ICO that has raised over 10 Million dollars extort a couple of hundred bucks of you? Doesn't make sense.

Then fucking pay them back. Whats so hard to manage? You need to send BTC to Grant Coin, then ScammerExposer, then Bananacoin. Can be done in a matter of minutes.

EDIT: Yeah, and for banana coin, he did so well I had to pm 400 people for their details. Nice!

We are the Grant Hero Foundation and our coin is the Give Coin. Not GrantCoin. ;)

But thanks for the support Atriz. We appreciate it.

please tag these accounts also as he made posts with these

You fucking piece of shit YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ANYONE BESIDE  SCAMMING US! NOT BANANACOIN, RCT,LITRA,MONKETCAPITAL ...SHOW US YOU PIECE OF SHIT ANYTHING BESIDE A LIE AND MONEY COMIN TO YOUR ACCOUNT SO YOUR MOM DOES'T GO WORK AS A WHORE FOR A DAY?

Don't go trash people who are professional and real unlike you! You want to take credit? FUCK YOU! Show us! You fucking piece of shit you are just full of crap.

I will find you in real.. Take my word I will fuck you!

I just come to know about this scam accusation which also involving me after yahoo's neg. trust.

I do write posts to the threads only on my own preferences and not due to anyone's direction unless otherwise there is a mandatory requirement from the camp. managers.

I wonder why some people accusing me by linking me to random people. I am not sure how I even got into this but please can someone show and prove to me what happened and what mistake I did.

After reading and understanding the whole scenario, I come to the conclusion : Scammers got scammed.

The devs/managers of the linked ICOs should be treated scammers as they opted to hire a person for keeping their topic active just to lure the innocent investors with their ICOs. They all should be negged.

There are people who admit they worked with casiok for their ANN topic for pumping and keeping their topic active. I guess availing trial from casiok also must be considered as a violation of forum rule. http://archive.is/85RoC

I am requesting DTs and Mods to do the following :
1. Neg the devs/ owners/ managers who participated in paid pumps.
2. Lock the linked ICO topics.

You piece of shit you are among the 30 scammers...

I see, I'll try to find some traces , maybe sosmed accounts or anything linked with them

All linked and the list is growing, we will add more on this Thread, and the other one.
Time to clean this forum, and time to start sending assholes to jail for real.

Funny how he stopped posting, he thought his scam may go far than this! Now he has newbies coming and posting stupid crap, since he can't expose the old accounts!

We want to make sure everyone is taking part, and make sure you leave his a rating, that will make him stop using his account!

Hello to all,

Thank you for starting this thread. CASIOK is a SCAM. He also uses this username: zippolo

Now my doubt has become more foolproof that most of the ICOs are scam which take help from people like casiok and let scammers rip investors.
Dammn of CasioK.

Edit: I see on bankera thread a lot of people commenting nonsense and i think it is just to bumm the thread, is it again the casiok service?

CasioK still has an outstanding loan with zazarb, correct?

Looking at the replies on zazarb's loan thread CasioK requested a loan of around 0.12 BTC on 16th Sep with a repayment date of 22th Sep. But looking at the address where the repayment is supposed to be sent, there are no transactions of repayment value on the 22th.

If this is true and he defaulted on his loan, then his promise to pay back everyone he owes is already false.

Added...Thank you so much, take care of his trade rate.

Glad something is being done about this. It ruins the whole announcement section of the forum. All I saw were PayPie and Billionaire Token for like a whole week.

Yes, we all were wondering between what being done as normal pump, and answering, and this shitty individuals who this forum keeping quite about! We all should stand to fight the ICOs scams which paid to these individuals...

EXPOSE.

correct, he still owe me, and already week as  it's unavailable.

How much and how long has it been Zazarb?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161170.msg21906966#msg21906966

Good luck Zazarb. I hope that he pays you... and all of us that he owes.

I think he will not pay

he already has negative feedback and he has the option to buy another account and do the same thing.

better you settle for your loss or report it to the police, that's also other charges you'll have

He promised to pay everyone, evidently he has not paid back anyone. One of the reasons why I would not recommend giving out no collateral loans anymore, even if the person seems extremely trustworthy.

Now, having a service to bump your ICO with alts is just complete BS and is a violation of forum rules. CasioK offering this service and later on 'extorting' the owners of the project is just unacceptable, imo.

Nothing right! We should keep this up! He and everyone with him.

Every ICO thats using these methods should be flagged!

I reached him via skype, he promised paid on 15th Oct , from then on silence...

He will never pay you! He is online on Skype, but here he is using many other accounts, but its not him to blame, its you and me..Who let this Forum plays with our money and time after its been filled with so many scammers.

if you know his alt- name it, preferably with proof.
