Bitcoin Forum

Impressio bitcointalk thread doesn't exist, Telegram channel has been deleted, Twitter account was last updated on 11th of june, ever since then no information from them. The only available forum now is the bounty thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3350550.new#new

@needmoney deserve a negative trust, he knows this project is a scam and he never bordered to clear the air, by letting
 investors and those participating on it bounty campaign to know about this scam.

This is totally a scam, they are another lending company scam scheme just like the old ones.

See the scam accusation to them: IMPRESSIO (IMPR) - SCAM BEHAVIOUR (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4508584.0)

Their website is totally gone and unaccessible.

Oh man, that sucks. They looked legit, at least to me, and I was considering joining a part of their campaign. I don't know why I didn't, but it wasn't because I they looked suspicious. What a waste of time and energy. If the campaign manager knew about it and kept silent, than you are right. Hard to prove though. I can't help but ask myself now how many of the current bounty campaigns are scam too.

I never saw the accusations thread before now, honestly speaking, I joined this project because it was been managed by needmoney. Their litepaper was as empty as a desert. I suspect them initially though, but I never had a choice to think twice before of the person manager their bounty company.  What a mistake

So your intuition from before was correct.

Did that bounty manager has a say about this project that he recently accepted?

Like what the scam accusation says, their website was gone if you are about to check it manually, nothing has found so it was all planned.

Just as I expected earlier. Come on! It was like a ponzi scheme. I was just curious as to why there was no accusation about it so I was thinking I might be wrong especially its thread is created by a reliable team here in bitcointalk.

I started the bounty but I abandoned after 2 weeks, I had doubts immediately. I really hope people didn't wast their money.

I'm shocked!  :o
I never thought that such a project would be scams. It is a pity that such bounty managers as needmoney spoil their reputation. But I hope to the last that the Manager will be honest with the participants of the bounty company.

I feel for this scam, spent months participating in their Twitter campaign and to top it off I wrote an article about it. Wasted time and resources.

unfortunately, and I spent a little time on this troubled company

The manager is mute about the whole issue. If you ask me I will say it all planned work, needmoney has something to do with this.
I suspect him 99%! Maybe because of his popularity on bitcointalk, and each bounty campaign he manages thousands of bounty hunters always register. So he thinks he will good money with this scam project with no vision/mission.

Man, that's a bummer. I actually thought that project is legit as it is handled by one of the oldest member here in the forum but I guess that's just part of life. I even tried joining their campaign but I knew from the start that something doesn't feel right. We really can't blame needmoney as they are bounty managers and that they make mistakes too. I don't think he deserves any negative trust as I have a respect for him for managing a lot of legit campaigns. If you could prove that he is part of something here, then maybe you could blame him but I highly doubt it.

A very disappointing thing. Previously I had strong confidence in the manager, but when I found something like this I became anxious to turn away from him. Previously a scam hashcard project, and now impressio, I regret having spent time on both projects.

Wow... I wanted to join this campaign too but I had to get involved in a break somehow. Is unfortunate the time wasting and people who have invested their money, the emotions involved.

It's already proven if the ICO is a scam on Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4508584.0) child-board. Though, what company that gives 7.5m USD reserved in tokens just for a bounty? The bounty is odd for the project from the first time the project came.

A lot of my friends spent a lot of their time on this company and all for nothing.Many wore signatures and are now very disappointed with this company.But now a very large number of ICO scammers so there is nothing to be surprised

If you are going to manage a bounty campaign you should do a rigourous KYC on the people behind the project and if that bounty turns scam you should publish the details of the people so that investors who were scammed can look at legal action to recover their money. Many people mistakenly believe that because a bounty has a well known manager behind it that it won't turn scam, recent events are showing that you still need to do your own due dilligence.

Many of my friends were joining such ICO for almost 2 months of their effort and very unfair for those people expecting for their bounty reward. It is so unfortunate for all the people who had joined and invested on such ICO . Most of the people were pissed off with this scam activity and the bounty manager should be penalized for it's connivance with the Impressio team.

It's very sad to hear that it's scam but we can't do something with that :(
Good luck to everyone, hope we won't touch scam project anymore.

Well upon checking all the details about this project i find you perfectly right that this is a total scam,and according to all evidence this is well planned and this is need to be punished whoever involves in this scam

I adviced you not to stop looking for justice,because this scammers will only hide in another project and good manager to victimize investors and participants again

Well, this is one o the discouraging factors when carrying out a campaign for projects you can hardly prove their genuine intention. it's no surprising that an experienced bounty manager can also be hoodwinked. Please, lets broadcast our suspicion of any bounty that we so suspect.

I have joined their bounty campaign but decided not to continue after a month cause i  started to have doubts about its legitness. Its sad to note that several scam icos are circulating nowadays.

I hope no one invested here, and it's not too late, we must help each other if we have doubt about a certain project let people know it, investors trust should be back, there should be regulation on this so we can avoid these scam site and avoid while they are just starting out.

I checked his profile and it seems that he doesn't care with this type of complains so if the project turns out to be a scam, it's either his already paid and doesn't want to involve himself to it. And also he has too many bounties to manage so I also think that he might be aware of this. Did you contacted him about your concern?

Actually this one thing that must be addressed,managers nowadays specially from bounty campaigns seems to be no care about participants and whats important to them is their payments as manager.i think its right time to be the managers is responsible of the project they will be accepting to ne concerns about the participants because they will never be paid if they cant gather enough participants to do the job for him to advertise

if the website is inaccessible it is really a scam project. no problem, it is already a risk in the world of crypto. take lessons from it, be more careful and thorough about the project. hopefully this will not happen again.

Yeah, you can see now the mistake you made by basing a serious decision on campaign manager while knowing how the ICO space generally is.

What you will see in a project may not be seen by the bounty manager and as far as I am concerned, everyone should be liable to the decisions they make. You were so quick to throw stones at the bounty manager, but you yourself did not do any due diligence before even considering to join the bounty in the first place, so in the front of investors, you are as guilty as needmoney. However, even the investors should not blame anyone if they ended up falling for the scam as well, since they could not simply do due diligence on their own.

This is a decentralized space and everyone should be responsible for the decisions they make, rather than blaming others for it.

Actually I used to follow this campaign, but I was suspicious after 1 month later. When viewed look it is clear they do not have a whitepaper in detail. The absence of ICO sites reviewing their projects. And finally everyone who joins here does not get anything.

This is a team that has managed a myriad of scam projects. To be fair, that's their job, but the recognition, responsibility, and seriousness are too poor. They barely care about the quality of the project they are managing. That is the fact that many topic has set this issue.

I have already contacted him on telegram,  but no response from him.  He comes only often but those not respond to my pm.
Anyway am still waiting for his response concerning this scam projects

It seems to be because they have other bounties to manage and they don't care if they just lost one of it and that turns out to be a scam.

Managers should be accountable for it or if they are not aware of it and they didn't review the company and they just blindedly accepted the job because of the high salary, though they are aware that it's a scam. Just keep in touch with him and tell what you know because we don't know and haven't heard his side.

Are you guys really kidding me right now ?
The problem here is that everyone who was a part of this project and need money himself should be blamed.

This project was really obvious and a lot of people stated it on their Ann thread, but since they are always busy buying posts and letting it get covered with the real questions and complaints, they go scot free. Immediately I set my eyes on this team, I did not even bother going further with knowing anything about it further. No product whatsoever that is tangible, the team sucks, and you guys fell a victim and then looking for whom to blame? Come on !

The problem with a lot of bounty hunters is that we always assume based on a campaign manager; the project should turn out well. Needmoney was never the owner of the project but just a bounty manager, and you should know by now that the only way you can judge anything is to do your own research.

Maybe Needmoney research was not good enough, but you as a community member relied just one that. What if needmoney also decided to rely on just one little thing to judge that the project is legitimate. DYOR is the way mate and no one should be blamed for anyone's predicament.
