Title: MEGATRON - SCAM PROJECT + BUMPING (with proof)
Post by: rpi3eu on March 26, 2018, 07:56:23 AM
I would just like to bring attention of the forum moderators to a scam project called MEGATRON (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3133601.0)

If you examine closely, you'll notice the following:

1) Team pictures are photoshopped

Who they claim their team is:

And here's some proof of photoshop:

https://i.imgur.com/AA9RvvO.png

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

2) Team does not exist

Check below number 3

3) Company is registered in Switzerland, yet none of the members aren't on the official business registry (they are falsifying the claims)

4) Thread bumping
   - you'll notice 99% of the comments are oneliners by newbie accounts saying praise about the project

Dear post publisher,

We are really surprised after seeing your post. we want Every single member attention here who's are thinking about Megatron. Firstly I will request to Everyone to see carefully this post publishers proof pictures and after inspection asking yourself do you find any face similarity with those pictures. We assure that all our team members are real, just our photodesigner uses some hairdesign from online. we want the right answer from everyone.

Bitcointalk is a famous crypto marketing and developing place. Every single member of bitcointalk is wise enough to take decisions about Megatron. We have a great team and already got a active community with us. More than 14000 members already join our Airdrop. we are inspecting their work and token distribution is going on live. Anyone can visit our website and see everything there.

Therefore, We are here to make lucrative development together. But all people are not same. Before starting our Announcement many bounty high rank member contact us to do our bounty work.But we refused many of them & choose wapinter to do our work. Its really sorrow that some of them are trying every single time to make spam about our project. But we believe that who's are working with Megatron will obviously get numerous profit.We would suggest to everyone to report bitcointalk authority about those spamers who's are making the situation harder for ICO in future.

Thanks everyone. keep supporting us and lets change the future together.

Regards
The Megatron Team

How do you justify that the company Megatron doesn't have a single member listed? Even CEO/CTO/COO are not listed?
In every country, businesses have to have their board of directors written publicly. The ones listed in links above are not the ones you claim to be.

I think who doesn't got knowledge about bitcoin regulation process which is worldwide they can't understand the  situation easily. Bitcoin regulation is going on switzerland now which make the current situation harder.thanks

LOL what?
How did your sentence answer my question?

But regardless, the entire community knows you're a scam, and you've been exposed as such.

I hope you spent more Money making this scam than you will receive from people.

Good move... But I had warned you on day 1... What took you so long?

I hope you spent more Money making this scam than you will receive from people.

I hope so too. I have negged the newbie account, hoping that others do so too. Obviously only DTs matter.

About the last picture...

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


This guy he got matched with is Zac something (forgot his last name). He's the founder of a project that my friend showed me a couple months back when I was getting into crypto. Not sure if this helps, but it is something.

The woman in the photo also seems photoshopped IMO.

Not saying it is or not a SCAM but here is what I found about Megatron Company:

Is this 2 companies or 1? I'm confused.

ICOs like yours are the ones that are making the situation harder...

Your only defense to the accusation that was brought forth upon you is that your designer used some hair designer? Whatever that means...

Look. I get it. Your web designer used a template. And then used stock photos to show your team. But don't you see ANY fault for keeping photos/names of people that do not exist as representatives of your company?

This, to me, just shouts "WE ARE A PUMP AND DUMP ICO FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MAKING MONEY!". Thanks for bringing this to light, @rpi3eu. Kudos. I think this is enough to have kicked off the snowball of doom for Megatron.

@wapinter where did you lock the thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3133601.340 is still unlocked and anyone is able to reply to it still.

All the people who actually post on their thread are obviously farmed/shill accounts that have the sole purpose of bumping up altcoin ANN threads with their shitposts. ICO bumpnig services is against the forum rules as well so it's more than a scam. The project is also in violation of forum rules. Quite pathetic because it proves that they can't get any organic attention any other way.

The photoshopped image accusation seems to be evidenced as well.

I think who doesn't got knowledge about bitcoin regulation process which is worldwide they can't understand the  situation easily. Bitcoin regulation is going on switzerland now which make the current situation harder.thanks

What does this have to do with anything the OP has said?

Understand that you have just been exposed of having a fake team, photoshopped team members, and employing strategies against the rules of the forum to bring attention to your ANN thread. Instead of posting nonsensical responses, maybe explain what's going on with those issues?

Any news about the case, is it already resolved? The bounty thread was locked and now waiting for further details. Why not show OP the real faces of the team to clear the accusations or some video proofs, well if it is possible I guess. The locked thread is bounty campaign. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3138851.0

Well if you clearly see the picture that was edited, OP was right. I mean @Wapinter, you are a great man dude, you should probably dig more about the team.

Nice research, it is a shame that there is no international cyber police hunting these scammers, they just get away with it and move on to another scam. Trade cautiously!

Nice research, just delete it from my following.
They need a professional photoshop before release team picture, if u can see it is Kevin and Amy's pictures in their team have 2 layers of 2 faces and the others just edit some part of face.
how they can scam when they start with poor preparation :'(

He/They are not doing a great job, the photos are really badly photoshoped. I did found many projects using similar tricks. But some really able to pull it off.. mostly would take it down half way. Too bad there are very little we could do to punished them.

BTW, their announcement thread still active. I starting to like these scam thread, so much info we could find here. Thanks to rpi3eu for the alert. Thumbs Up!
