Title: Avoid this scam marketing / advertising agency - Cryptomisemedia UK
Post by: level01 on October 22, 2018, 10:45:58 AM
Hi Guys,

We felt compelled to share our utterly bad experience in hiring this so-called advertising company below,

www.cryptomisemedia.com
Email: Asheesh.Sharma@Cryptomisemedia.com
Phone: +44 7488254391
20-22 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU

They contacted us sometime ago offering programmatic ads for our ICO campaign. After viewing their proposal, we decided to start with a trial campaign.

However, once we transferred the payment to them, they completely ignored and failed to reply all our requests for updates and reports.

Please watch out for these guys Asheesh Sharma and Rahul Kumar if they contact you offering their so-called advertising services. Asheesh Sharma's LinkedIn is https://www.linkedin.com/in/asheesh-s-026803a7/

We hope nobody else falls for their scams.

Thank you for your attention.

Update:

Asheesh Sharma has deleted his LinkedIn profile. Probably will resurface as another person to scam others.

Also watch out for this agency / website that offers ICO advertising, same address as Cryptomisemedia above, http://whatcoindaily.com/

Watch out for Rahul Kumar and Whatcoindaily.

By what means?

However, once we transferred the payment to them, they completely ignored and failed to reply all our requests for updates and reports.
Proof (transaction ID/link) + visual evidence regarding the latter part?
- Format everything using the following "Scam Report Format (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0)" and move this thread to "Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) (move topic button is located on the bottom left corner of this page)".

That's a virtual address (read the following posts):

  • shorena's post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917512.msg10074058#msg10074058)

  • BitcoinNational's post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1884082.msg18715827#msg18715827)

Cryptomisemedia's team members are fake (I only checked for "Rahul Kumar" but most likely others are fake as well):
- Rahul Kumar (fake) = Intiaz Khan (real) (http://iworkat.brunel.ac.uk/intiaz-khan/)
- Website (archived on Aug/21/2018 (https://web.archive.org/web/20180821081621/https://www.cryptomisemedia.com/)).



Found the following things while using "Rahul Kumar" as keyword (not sure about its accuracy [don't rely on it]):

- rahul kumar (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=673963) (no post)
- Rt301 (https://archive.fo/JvoeB#selection-1019.3-1019.14)'s post history:

Hi SFR,

Thank you very much for your in-depth investigative work. We do not want to put too much time and energy into these scammers. We just want to warn others of them.

If anyone has been contacted by these scammers with using different names, then just report them here or to any social media. Shut them down before they scam others.

We now know Intiaz Khan is the real scammer.

You're very welcome.

Just to be clear, I didn't mean to imply that "Intiaz Khan" is the real scammer (based on my findings, "Rahul Kumar" is impersonating him).

Oh yes, we didn't think of it this way, any scammer can grab another person's photo and use it. But based on his profile and location in UK, it is likely Intiaz use a fake name to scam others.

Oh well, excellent piece of work SFR, worthy of matching Sherlock himself!  ;)
