Title: 🔴Pure Scam "XeonFrame" ICO with fake team. Stay away from it and save money🔴
Post by: The Cryptovator on June 15, 2018, 06:10:08 PM
Scam ICO name with fake team: xeonframe ( no SSL certificate on site)

Bounty thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3963215.0   ( Manager :  Wapinter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2094446) )

ANN thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3873411

Main reason to say scam for fake team members picture.  Their team is not existing and they chose from google. Most of team member is fake. They just use linkedin logo but there is no any profile link. I will describe below those I have strong evidence.

Look at the picture below I have marked & and check name too.

I believe that’s enough proof to say scam.  Be aware from such as ICO those have question mark.


Edit : 31-06-2018

May be many people got reg taged due to promote knowing scam ICO.  So stop promoting now...

I've started handing out negative trust to anyone still posting in the bounty thread and advertising Xeonframe.
If you come here after being neg rated by me, here's what you have to do:

Delete all your posts on social media about XF.
Delete your posts in the bounty thread.

PM me after you have done both those things, and I will remove my rating.

well, I've been looking at that thread and I've seen something very weird, there are some participants with negative feedbacks who says this: "Cheating bounty with alt accounts." And yet the bounty manager has not removed them from the campaign, which makes it very strange

This is the third thread this week I am aware of now. There's likely more to come/not discovered yet.

Bounty manager should lock their bounty and update about their scam. People will wast their time.
I'm considering to start leaving feedback for "managers" that do not do even the least amount of research before accepting a position and starting a bounty thread.
If the "managers" would check just as much as you do, they'd easily catch these scams, and not only save themselves some trouble, but also their participants and possible investors.



As with the last two threads, watching for the reaction from the manager and their taken actions.

I am working hard everyday to findout this kind of ICO. Because they are not only scam people's money also many forum members spending time on their bounty. It's very important for me to save both, money and time. Once i find like this case i will post here.
Recently I have seen like well reputed managers getting their bounty. They didn't minimum research, it's harmful for forum.

Hi, congratulations for this good initiative. I have been affected by scam reward campaigns and it is totally negative for the community that ICO Scam continues to proliferate that tries to steal shamelessly all people who join and trust them. If you need some support, I can join your cause.
The community wants and needs a clean and spam-free forum.

Given that Wapinter themselves have a history with multiple accounts and account sales, that rule is somewhat ironic.
I only own 2 other accounts besides this one.Btvgainer and Wapinter bounty portal.I am not involved in account selling.I still own all my accounts.

I totally agree with you.As a bounty manager we must do some research before accepting.Bounty participants and investors are also requested to do their due diligence before participating in any ICO

As with the last two threads, watching for the reaction from the manager and their taken actions.

I promptly lock the thread as soon as I learnt that a campaign I am managing is dubious. Unfortunatly xeonframe was posted by Wapinter bounty portal which is not available due to ban for 30 days hence I can not lock the thread but I am deleting the forms and posting this info in spreadsheet too.
I am also committed to remove scammers and multiple accounts from all the campaigns that I manage and I immediately take action as soon as I catch them or someone report them to me.

Off topic in here, you should start a seperate scam accusation against jamalaezaz / TokenPay and investigate who's responsible in this instance.
Though you also should consider the feedback of accounts before starting to participate in bounties managed by them, and jamal has a long history of terribly managed campaigns and failures.
Look at who you trust to be your manager, check their past jobs, jamal has a long list of feedbacks pointing out what you really should know about them.

Post by: timerland on June 17, 2018, 08:25:05 PM
Great find, OP.

I only wish people are as diligent all the time as this, because I'd say that the majority of ICOs probably utilise fake team members one way or another due to their need to hide their identity. And a simple image search can reveal a lot about the legitimacy of a project.

Due to the obvious proof that is provided, as well as the extremely crappy design of their website, it's safe to say that they're just a con that made up some kind of background story and now are trying to rip people off. Also, campaign managers should honestly be way more diligent before they accept a campaign like this, because promoting these scams won't do any good to anyone obviously.

Nice post thanks for investigations and your time. Great job. I found this project a bit suspicious as I've joined promotional campaign and found out that website and WP has too much mistakes (especially concerning lack of sentence spacing and vice versa). And I searched for BERTHOLD CHENG as I find his face familiar and no single mention throughout the web.

I believe that’s enough proof to say scam.  Be aware from such as ICO those have question mark.




If people bother to do research, then basically all ICOs will have some shady element or another.

One of the most common tactics used by scammers are that they use a completely fabricated group of people, represented by nothing but stock images, as their so called "team" in order to make themselves seem legit.

And invariably, they do so because their scam would not seem legit at all to investors if real names were used. Most of these scams are probably run by one person, or a few accomplices, and there is no team to speak of whatsoever. Or, they just don't want their real identities leaking out once they exit scam. Thank you OP for exposing them, they deserve nothing less.

I didn't know the bounty is a big scam and i am really sorry for promoting it all this while. we members of this community are all here to promote only genuine ICOs and will not support any scam ICO whatsoever. I am sorry, i had no idea and now that i do, i have deleted all my post on the different social media i registered for the bounty and also deleted all my post on the thread.

Please, help me remove the negative trust. I promise to be more careful, analyzing ICOs closely before joining their campaign.

Hello, thanks for the warning!!!  I didn't know they were scammers. I wouldn't have worked with them if I'd known from the start. This is the time spent.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3963215.msg40685440#msg40685440

Tell me, how can I regain trust?  I recently started participating in the bounty and I don't know what to do for it. I'm deleting all the tweets from this Scam project and posts in the bounty thread. I texted you Personal Message  after I have done both those things, but you do'nt removed your rating. Please help me. You already more experienced here.

 I hope on mutual understanding

guys there are a lot of projects now, and the amount only will rise. Its awesome that autor of this thread found this scam. But not will be good too say people how to discover such a projects? F/e/ I suppose you used some program to search images in internet? or some application? What we should use?
If more people have an information how rather easy check projects it would be more efective I think.


Another question.there are lots of others people in that project, why didnt they change their names too?Thx

Stop the advertise of the ”XEONFRAME" scam! No one honest project will hack another accounts.

We created our own topic about BitFex exchange (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2710266) from this account. After this XEONFRAME hacked our account and began to spread messages about their scam ICO from our account “kovaleksandr”.

Look at the creator of the topic and history message of account "kovaleksandr". In the begin, it was a messages about the BitFex exchange. XEONFRAME is very brazen hackers and scammers!

This is the result if fake team. They already exit with raised fund. Website keep online to raise more  ;D. All social media deactivated and telegram group has been deleted. Some time some scammer supporter try to defence fake team. I want to show them this ICO. Fake team means there is 99.99 % chance of scam. So why not avoid risk ? I think we can help investor  by exposing fake team.
