Dear DT-users...    help the community tagging these scammers

Looool! Good job, well done ;D
No doubts 8)

Thank you for letting us know that they are back. 

GBPT TOKEN IS NOT SCAM AND IT IS LEGIT COMPANY BASED IN MOROCCO WE HAVE ALL THE COMPANY DOCUMENT IF ANY ONE WANT TO SEE OR CHECK AND FOR OUR TEAM MEMBERS THEY ALL REAL AND HERE IS THE PROOF BELOW.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5088119.msg48809254#msg48809254 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5088119.msg48809254#msg48809254)

What happened to your first fake team?

Why did you steal people's identity? Maybe that is something normal to do in your country, but this is illegal in the US.

Those sources you mentioned are not accepted, they are listing agencies which are into this business to make money. They act also as a scam promoters websites.

ICOHOLDER verifies everything, stock photos, even a cartoon character.

All our team members are verfied. We never share any fake picture or have fake member all the info you provided are wrong and if we are really fake we will keep silent like all other project. And if you calling other ico websites SCAM then why you went to report us there? Or because they know the truth and they asked you for the proof of GBPT is scam this why you calling them scam.

You telling me this is illegal in US? what bring US to this subject? First of all we don’t care about US we have better law than them in my country. And if our Company is fake if we got arrested here in less than 24 hours.

Our team members all verfied and real our company is registred in Morocco and real. If you have any more question go ahead and by the way we are not asking you to delete this post. No keep it so everyone will see how wrong you are about us.

Greetings!

REALLY?   Are you blind?  

This are the images of your first fake team that shows that you stole people's identity.

We have your website archived here:  http://web.archive.org/web/20181127211210/https://gbptoken.org/

Why did you run away after we exposed your scam?

Nice. Thank you for saving me some time because I'm looking at this project in the last two days to see it's legitimacy and the first thing I've noticed is the team itself. Wasn't able to finished my finding and here you go exposing them. Another great job mate!!!.

You don't really understand, do you!!!? You got caught redhanded just move on.

Let me try to explain, this archive service is simply taking a snapshot of the current page posted to it so basically, it is 100% legit prove because no one can edit this snapshot or alter it in any way, this archive is what was your site before you edited it and remove the fake team and replace it with another team only god knows who they are, it is the first time I see someone come and try to appeal an archived evidence just amazing.  :D

Verified by who? Icoholder and their stock-picture-verification (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4813339.0) tool? Icobench and their failed-passed-failed-passed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059552.0;all) KYC procedure?

I don't think anyone here is blind and can't compare pictures from OP and archived link to site.

Why fake team?

Hereby i attached the answer of this guy in bounty thread... he tries to defend himself claiming that he was threatened by me, and i asked about ETH.. blatant scam! now the question is...  knowing this is a scam, who is responsible for having these scammers in the forum? shouldnt the biggest moderator of the forum close this thread to avoid any further damage to investors+ bounty hunters?¿

LOL a CTO that doesnt know what website archive is:




This person deserved to be banned.

This reminds me of that person from Bentlycoin scam - same attitude, same type of lies/denial.
With all the evidence provided here and archived, this person still denying using fake images, and now accusing people of extortion... etc...

Here is the PM sent to us a way back before this person deleted their ANN Thread: (Dec. 04th 2018)

OUR RESPONSE:

DT maybe you should take a look at their bounty and tag the person there as well.

And by the way, our box is unchecked and we still receiving PM's from newbies - maybe it is broken.
http://icoethics.com/imgs/gbptoken/broken.JPG

Highly unprofessional. Fake team, got caught, new team, blame plugin.
Who threatened who and where can we find that conversation and extortion attempt?

---

It seems newbie copper members can send PM without restriction.

I am the one who shared this after having seen that they were caught some time ago with a fake team. If they are claiming i threatened them in any way with any kind of extortion.. is absolutely stupid... call it Karma, god or whatever.. but extortion of an scammer, would be like scamming honest people anyway, as money comes from same origin..
I contacted some rating websites, luckily they are warning investors.

What globecas has to do with gbpt? It is different ICO.

---

On side note, globecas has announcement thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3642375.0, they are gone long time ago.

This is a perfect example how these  "experts" at ICOBench just copy and paste their reviews:

http://icoethics.com/imgs/gbptoken/copy.JPG


http://icoethics.com/imgs/gbptoken/sc.JPG - see other ratings giving by this person here (edited)

He rated scams with 1-1-1 so what is wrong with this?

There is nothing wrong with his ratings. The problem here is: he copied and paste review, as you can see the images above.

if I may know, where did you get the photo? I didn't want to defend this project, but I was confused by the difference in photos in the GBPT company and the photo above. because I have already asked this information to the GBPT team

From their website. It was archived before they deleted the fake team

You can see the archive here. - click on "team" to see the old fake team.

oh yeah, I saw that, and what about the new GBPT website? Don't you think that they could just make a change of team at the GBPT company. can that happen? I am confused by this problem, which is true or not. because everything must be done well.

Upps sorry.. i dint realized he wrote another name... Globecas.. but this appeared after reporting about the scam to icobench.. maybe, as anohter user said..he just did a copy+paste of a rating for a similar project with dishonest behaviour.

What about the new website?  - we dont care if the new team is real or not at this point.

They already tried a scam by using fake images of the team - stealing people's identity.

And they are denying everything - they even deleted their first ANN thread when we exposed them. - check the archives - first post on this thread.

ABout archive:   cannot be changed/altered,  cant fake it. As you see is their website that was archived, not some other website.


Everything IS WELL documented.

yes, maybe he forgot to update the information.

Of course. Usually, when exposed with fake team, they fire whole team and hire new one  ::)

It won't be so hard for them to upload few videos to show they are real. I find that much better option than shitting on someones trust wall saying someone threatening them or tried to extort without giving any proofs, and using icorating sites to show they are real. I don't see what makes them special.

Btw, It took them 2 days to delete and lock announcement thread and 1 month to respond here. ::)

His updated review on GBPT - still doesn't look nice:

Well, he made mistake, it can happen. Anyway, part of new review (https://icobench.com/ico/gbpt/ratings):


And official gbptoken statement:

They should better contact that ICO rating site to remove their fake team  ::)
