They launch their referral program few weeks ago. They decided to give away 100 IOST per referral and once you reach the level of 100 referrals then they gave 50,000 IOST as bonus.

I made over 100 referrals with all the precautions. Asking my friends, community, fellow colleagues and family to join under my link.

When the program ended they stated us to wait for the lock period of 30 days.

During this period they blocked my and many other accounts (as reported over the official telegram group).

When people asked for the support then straight away said that Your account can not be reviewed.

They have blocked thousands of accounts like that and showed that we did not follow the procedure or we have made some mistakes!

This was their strategy to block many accounts so that they will not have to give millions of IOST which people hard earned.


TOTAL SCAM : 100%

IOST IS F***** SCAMMER

Wow, wow, I think that we need to talk with someone else about this, because this project does not look bad on the stock exchanges and is traded on good exchanges, probably there is some misunderstanding, you just need to talk with their representatives.

Are you sure about this? Going through their materials and everything I didn't feel this can be a scam. Can anyone assure if it is a scam or not? I will try to do some more research on IOST.

first we have a board for this one here; Scam Accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)
another one is,do you have a proof about your claim ? because until now,nothing wrong with them.
i am afraid,you joined a 'scam' bounty.
because i saw many people tried to do that and created a multiple thread just for doing that.
so please put some proof before made a claim and let's talk about it.

As far as i know this projects performance is good on the stock exchange. May occurs some misunderstanding. That’s why you need to communicate with their representatives.

I don’t think this is a Scam based on this IOST there is no new I have heard that it is scam based on this there is some problem or misunderstand between you and IOST so try to sort out this problem but if it is SCAM then it is really disappointing for us.

The team turned a good scam and propiarilas for someone else's account.
My friend also blocked the account and the support is not going to understand the reasons for the lock.
It's a waste of time!

As far as the word goes around in the market, IOST is not a scam. Maybe there is a misunderstanding between you and IOST. You need to contact them as soon as possible. But if it is a scam then this is a huge shocker.

This does seems like an extremely malicious feat. But still, after doing some research on IOST, this did not come off as a scammed one. Yes there were a few complaints about it, but the majority did not rule it off as a scam. Try to talk to people who faced no problem with it, and try to contact IOST and see why your account was blocked. I'm sure it is just a misunderstanding.

This really is a shock that IOST is a scam. If it is then this is a sad news to hear. But it will be better if you contact IOST as soon as possible because the chances are high that there is a misunderstanding between you and them. But thanks a lot for the heads up.

Beside if the coin is scam or not, you should have posted this in the right board.

Talking of scam of a project with this isnt enough to prove it being a scam. I think you should come out with concrete evidences so that we will know that IOS is sure a scam project so we refrain from it.

Now there can be two reasons behind the occurred situation, either you guys simply didn't follow the rules of the referral program or they are really scamming people. Chances of the later being true is higher though since they have blocked all of yours accounts as I don't see a reason behind doing that even if you didn't follow rules.

Before this referral campaign, I read their whitepaper. It seemed a very bold and interesting proposal. But by checking how they organized their digital marketing, I was disappointed and soon sold for a small profit what I had bought.

When the campaign began, I soon realized that they were organizing a pump to appear to be a better project than it was. I even got a little regret because I have sold it. But today I have the conscience that was the best choice.

It is another shitcoin whose only purpose is to enrich its directors in a short time.

have you asked them to provide proof that blocked user accounts don't follow the rules? they must be able to prove it and not only provide classic reasons to block users

Post this on the right board and include all necessary proofs to support your accusation.

IOST has been listed on various exchange sites an looks like their community profiles are also quite active, I couldn't find anything suspicious about them to be honest. It will be better if you can provide a screenshot of your conversation with any of their managers so that we can validate them as scammers.

Well, that's truly frustrating nowadays. I really don't get it why these happening so many times. Bounties are in a great trouble for this, all there hard work and time is getting wasted for a shit actually. I really wish if there has any sort of punishment for them.

I feel that we have to chat with another person about this since this undertaking does not look terrible on the stock trades and is exchanged on great trades, likely there is some misconception, you simply need to converse with their agents.

All things considered, that is genuinely baffling these days. I truly don't get it why these events such huge numbers of times. Bounties are stuck in an unfortunate situation for this, all their diligent work and time is getting squandered for a shit project really. I truly wish if there has any kind of discipline for them.

Are you talking to their airdrop program? You may have made the mistake of not following their rules or cheating and being caught by them.
IOST is a good project and is growing strongly in the market so you can't accuse them of scam by their airdrop program. Your problem can easily be solved when you PM to the manager of that campaign

I am not going to judge the IOST ICO now. But i haven't found anything wrong about it. I think we should get some more knowledge about it before declaring it as a scam project.

I have found some positive reviews about it. I think it is confusing to judge these types of ICOs because there is not enough evidences to count them as scam projects.

ACCORDING TO IOST MEDIUM, SCAMMERS AND SPAMMERS WERE BLOCKED, SO SCAMMER IS ACCUSING THEM OF SCAM??!!

Iost already explained what happened:

https://medium.com/iost/iost-community-hub-update-relaunch-new-features-f598aa0c18bf

NICE TRY!

be careful this is the biggest year where many scams and they are not responsible for what has been done. We are Bounty Hunter feeling where we cannot enjoy the results of our labor

I participated in the previous IOST campaigns and got rewarded. So I do not think it is a "100% scam" as you claim. It is more likely that one of your referrals made a mistake.

here is a good project and no the following chat here. I just extract 1200 IOST about a mew but time for coin for more time.

Never waste my time in any coin have a referral system. That's a big red flag.

I dont think IOST is a scam. I have worked with this project for long and they have paid me. I have seen IOST rise above expectation even during the bear market. They did put up an airdrop and said it would pay up but it has extebded many times already so i think you just have to wait for their official announcement or better yet, contact someone from their team.

Scam become very vital problem with crypto.  I was loses my all crypto  because of investing on a scam ICO project and thta's why now I am afraid to invest on ICO.

Scam scam scam. That's make many investors faded up and many of them are left to invest in ICO. So immediately   there need some solution to reduce scam from ICO.

I don't it's scam or not but now-a-days scam become a common form with ICO. What should we can do to avoid scam project? How I can find a project scam or not?

Haha this might be painful though to you but sounds kinda funny. Well I'm not surprised with this kind of issue coz many of all these so called legit projects do this very well. They use the community to get votes or traffic and when the time for payment comes, they find one excuse or another to prevent big payments. I feel sorry for you bro.

This kind of post should not be posted here. There is a certain section to post matters like this. You can report your claims in meta section or in serious matter sections. I hope there is an answer to your claim and you can have your referral bonus.

you may have reached for the lock on the ip maybe you have a common network that influenced it

We always should be focused on our way and be cautious about the scammers before we get involved. Once we are involved, the scammers will be benefited but what we will lose will be our opportunity cost and money we have invested.

IOST being a scammer is not a new news thus it was explained in 7 months ago in a steemit post by cryptoincn. IOST have been doing fraud staffs for a long time and it has the worst team ever I have seen, most working with another project.

last day i just read their project purpose. that is not bad actually but if it is scam we should aware from this.

I can understand you, but I don't think these can be used as a reason to smear IOST. When you participate in an activity, you may have violated certain activity rules, but you are not willing to admit it. I also know that you have spent a lot of time and energy, but in the end, you are not rewarded, which makes you feel depressed. However bro,you should not smear IOST for this.

the project purpose of iost looks good for my side. are you sure this is really scam? i may think your account blocked for other reason. i am not sure i just guess.

That's right they already explain what happened and the admins in the telegram are quite active to answer your questions regarding their referral program. IOST is not scam, I participated in their bounty campaign and I got my rewards, the token is listed in major exchanges thus there's no basis for this accusation.

This project is doing good and found some positive reviews also.It doesnt look like a scam at all.Will you pls show some proof about that?

I think is not a scam. We have to analysis more about this because this project seems to very good for me. I think its huge profitable. we have to talk with the representative

I don't claim any. It is anything but a trick. I figure it will be incredible later on. Be that as it may, at the present time it's absurdly overrated. First dispatch will on 2019, at the most punctual.

Anyway the possibility of airdrop is showcasing. Once a financial specialist has it in his/her portfolio, there's a decent shot they'll be returning speculator. Alot can occur amongst from time to time. At the present time, it's scarcely a thought.

I think you need to talk with  technical support team, because this project is traded on good exchanges, i think there is some misunderstanding. don't be upset they will give you better solution.

I'm not surprised at all), these projects now we see more and more?and make a decision that the project can give you the trust of the community, how they have activity in social networks,how many they need to reach hardcap, which site (whether it was made for a quick hand if only it was), but this all does not guarantee a 100%.

I think we need to talk with technical support team, because this project does not look bad on the stock exchanges i think there is some misunderstanding. they will help you.

If you have enough evidences you can open thread in Scam Accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)  to report IOST. I think IOST is not scam, i know many of you cheating referrals so it is easy to understand why you get banned.

Damn, that really sucks man. Hope you get some sort of justice for it. Too bad that this is crypto and there's very little that can be done.

In any case, it appears somewhat hyperbolic to begin considering IOST a scam. Because it appears to me like it's only an instance of their promoting group thought of an awful thought.

I would probably agree if I did not know anything about this project, maybe all the same it is necessary to start a conversation with the developers, I think that everything is not as bad as here are presented by people.

I disagree. I've completed withdrawal on this airdrop. I think you should contact their supporters by email or ticket request, I tried and succesed.

I support you. I advise you to write in support and first try to understand, but only then create a topic on the forum.

I hope you are sure about this news,  cause we don't have any valid prove to believe it yet,  but yes it can be happen here so users awareness is highly required to themselves from such kinds of incidents

thank you for the update but I am sorry  that I don't have any confirmation about this news you provided us, but in this place scans is like a part of it so I would request every one to stay aware and learn how to deal with it

look I can ensure you that the authority are taking their best steps to provide the highest security and protection among the investors but to be honest if you wants to do trading here must have to know that how to deal with scams

I don't really think that IOST is a Scam Coin. I think you are overdoing it by accusing IOST of being a Scam. Based on this, I think there is nothing new that IOST heard that was a fraud / scam. You probably have some problems or misunderstandings between you and the IOST right now. So try to solve this problem well bro.
