Title: [SCAM] Cryptsy is not raising money from individuals don't reply to these folks. Post by: BitJohn on February 20, 2014, 04:13:48 PM We have been alerted to a scam where supposedly Paul our CEO is fundraising from individuals.
This is a SCAM do not send money to anyone claiming to be from Cryptsy for official secret purposes. No one will solicit you for money from Cryptsy. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yfh1o/fake_cryptsy_investment_this_is_how_big_vern/ There are also a few fake Cryptsy Facebook pages we are working to take down. They are also tricks to get you to use them as a referrer. For more Cryptsy news and updates go to blog.cryptsy.com *Anything unrelated to this topic will be deleted in this thread.

Post by: BitJohn on February 20, 2014, 04:44:03 PM It's probably the guys who tried to get us to buy votes for Cryptsy or the one that PM'ed us about fake bounties for other exchanges Good point that is another scam. I pay zero attention to coin posts in the forum. So sending these guys money is a waste. Every coin added recently was added for competitive reasons only. Whats that mean customers wanted one spot to trade the coin and there was enough volume to justify it. Do not throw your money away on these scam if you are not sure PM me and once I get through the add my coin PM's Ill find ya :) While I am on that rant don't PM me add my coin requests they go mostly ignored with very few exceptions if your coin isn't something new and exciting with some kind of innovation not worth making my PM's look like the alt announce board I read that already.

Quote 1:09am hi there I am Stacy, Chief Financial Officer at Cryptsy, you can find more information about me here: https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/about It's good to see another woman into bitcoin finally , lol. Have a good opportunity for those we have selected to take part in our Project Investors program at Cryptsy which is a new investor program we have for our loyal Cryptsy Customers and business affiliates etc (family). The reason we need affiliate investors is we are trying to build our solid btc investor portfolio so USD investors will take us seriously, our goal is to get the USD exchange by July. The last day before launch is Friday (Feb 28th) we want to start the program officially on March 1st. If your interested, we are giving those who link their Cryptsy account with a key to the program get 15% a month compounded interest for the next four months on whatever commitment they make for that period of time. Your able to withdrawal at any time but of course that voids the interest. Let me know! 9 hours ago Sure, how do I do this?I know there are only a few of us 8) 5 hours ago Oh great, sorry I was busy all morning. First off you need a Cryptsy account. https://www.cryptsy.com/users/register Cryptsy - Register New Account www.cryptsy.com If you have one already fine just as well, secondly add whatever you'd like to start with. We also accept altcoins so doge / ltc / wdc / vert / uno etc. is all welcome to take part. I already have one Great, is everything already confirmed in there? Otherwise make a deposit. Im on my cryptsy account what do I do Lastly have to get you on the spreadsheet / ledger with your Username / coin type / amount. I will get you the project investor key after I have you on the ledger. Where on cryptsy do I add this? Im signed in now but I dont see where to do this? Yes its just a project key under balances. Where do I find the ledger? I have the ledger here. You have two options one is cold storage, which is our most popular and secure. Otherwise you can have it in your online account if you'd like. If you withdrawal or spend the amount you pledge at any time it voids the interest. In cold storage you can be sent back your investment after one business day. We keep them on encrypted usb drives in a bank safety deposit box. (If you chose to leave the program early) So tell me your username / amount / coin type. all I see under balances is view deposit view withdraw view transfer out Right, that is through our key to use it would be under transfer but first I need to put you on the ledger if you tell me your user / cointype and amount . We have two keys, one places it in our cold storage, the other just creates a transaction detail. So tell me your preferred method of storage as well. Sorry we don't have a official tab for this it's because we didn't want to cause a media stir regarding opening our project back up. It originally was open up when we first started the exchange at 10% , since we've grown we have been able to offer 15% to get our USD exchange going. Anywho, got to head out to lunch had a rather early bike ride this morning so am rather hungry!! Such a nice time though. Talk to you in a bit! sorry, give me 5 mins still fill my clients lead orders ok! im just going to pick up a salad , be back Ok I am backI am on my cryptsy account but I am not seeing what your talking about back here too, sorry it seems confusing but it's just through the balances / transfer option / you can do it two ways one is to actually transfer to the program and we put it in cold storage, the other is you use a 'dummy key' we made that only creates a transaction detail through the transfer option as well so before I give you the key I need to know what you prefer most in the project just go through cold storage What I am saying is I do not see the key or option that your describing.. I went to Cryptsy I signed into my account I went to account balances etc when I say key im talking about trade keys, you use it under transfer, I haven't given you the key yet since you didn't tell me what you prefer online or offline storage What's the difference in the 2 we'll the online key just makes a transaction detail and keeps it in your acct however if you dip below the amount it voids the program for you, it's also less secure since its on your account.. the cold storage key puts it directly into our cold storage for the project that is taken offline and encrypted on USB drives / stored in bank safety deposit boxes and an offline backup hardware that's also encrypted your still able to leave if you decide you needed your coins back in cold storage it just takes a little longer usually about one day however its our most popular method, would you like to do that? one sec Im am reading about cold storage I dont know much about it and like to know what I am doing Oh sorry, I thought you knew that term, basically just taking it offline secures it a little more, for instance if we kept it online and our site was DDOSd (attacked by hackers) then we wouldn't be able to access it. Likewise our customers wouldn't be able to access their accounts either. However we have DDOS protection sometimes things happen. Likewise, if you had some sort of malware on your pc without knowing it could jeopardize your coins because some of them are designed to get to wallets etc, that's why its always good to encrypt (put a password) on every wallet also use two factor authentication for your Cryptsy account. Cold storage - Bitcoin en.bitcoin.it of course it can be done with any cointype not just bitcoin If you don't prefer cold storage you might as well go with the online option, just make sure you use your phone number for two factor authentication. You can get to that under settings in the top right after clicking where it says "Hello Kristen" and scroll down to "Two Factor Authentication" uses your cell phone about an hour ago Do you not have time to do this today? Have to leave the office in a couple hours but we could get it done tomorrow if youd like, at least get your username on the ledger anyway by tomorrow. Sorry I'm driving to pick up my son I should be home I about an hour I feel like I would like the online option if possible. Would that be ok? Yes, sure what amount were you thinking? Is there a minimum or maximum? no max we generally prefer over 2 btc that is what most of our investors do, many are 5 - 10 if you only have 1 or so thats fine too? Just here to help I can probably stretch it to 2-3 BTC?When do you plan on launching USD? Oh ok great, what is your username? sorry if you told me already.. were trying to get it done no later then July 4th however if it takes longer you have the option of another month or two Sorry, I just have to scrape what I can together and sell off some alts quickly ok great np Message you back in 5-10 minutes Thank you for giving me the opportunity to invest yes! your much welcome, still need username when you can though hee hehe* have to add it to the ledger so we can finalize it on our end Unless you have your name on your account that works too. Ok, I have two accounts, I just need to see which one has funds available to send.just a minute ;p ok sure , i'll be here Ok thank you Ok, account I can send funds from is kbilly alright great, so kbilly / 3 btc correct? I can only afford 2.5 at the moment is that ok?
