Hm ... thank.
I will deal with their customers.

Now the team puts their photos. These were "stubs" at the time of site development. And the team forgot to change.
We will fix everything now.

This is the typical excuse of every scammer uses after caught!!! Make a video with the entire team talking about this project.

Take a closer look at the site: the team already has ready-made products that you can check.
It can never be a scam.
Just when creating the site missed this point.
The video is done, by the way.

Missed the team images? and instead picked random stock photos, named and posted - even posted in this Forum and didnt see the "mistake".. tell me another joke.


What about your address?  did you miss that as well?

You are confusing me and the BuuCoin team. I'm a bounty manager, I'm not part of the team.
I gave this topic to them for clarification.

But how can there be a scam when there are software teams that can be used?
You've been doing all this for so long, that you see a scam manic in everyone.
The address that is listed on the site is the address for correspondence. This is not the office address. The office is only finally registered next week, and if you are sure that this is a scam, you can come to the office and see.
And, again, how can you be a scam project when you already have a software product worth more than one thousand dollars?

AGAIN, you are a Bounty Manager who serves as a "for hire whore" to this scam ICO, and you are blind to the truth!

Shilling hard for this, ain't you?

"You can come to the office and see."

Actually there are 2 new companies(buucoins inc and buucoin ltd):

https://www.nycompanyregistry.com/companies/buucoin-inc/
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11632618

I really want to know the reason why they lied to investors (fake team, plagiarism, wrong numbers on site etc).

Once again: their White Paper is STILL over 80% plagiarized.


My guess is that Member BuuCoin is gonna be tagged with red trust prior to coming here to post his first post.

This video proves nothing, anyone can rent a conference room for an hour, print a logo, put it on a shelf and shoot a crappy intro.

The name Robert Cholewka doesn't sound at all Bulgarian, the signature on the bottom of the card is very suspicious. Possibly purchased fake documents?

Anyway, here's the reference image:

Guys you have ready big project why you not start
In bitcointalk not be get support  )))))

https://buumerchant.com (https://buumerchant.com)

You have a point on this. And browsing the profiles, they really took it from those websites.
Now, how can they explain such grabbing of photos from shutterstock, bigstock, depositphotos, name it?
It's very clear where they got those profile photos.

For those unable to came to your office, can we cum in your office?

I see a guy in empty office holding half visible Bulgarian ID.
I don't see people who are presented as team members (CEO, CTO etc) and I don't see him explaining stolen content from other projects.

Maybe Robert can invite fake team to their empty office to say few words?

"I don't collect money"

Does one get a free phone/tablet along with your 2 fake cards?

Is that usb cable and possibly charger? What's in that mystery box?  ;D

https://i.ibb.co/5Yk45h6/box.jpg

Rechargeable VISA?

---

Do you think it is worth to give 50$ for a box?

Maybe you should move your ass back to altcoin board(s) and continue your spam there.

I'm not convinced they did not mention how they collected 245 mln$( they have changed it now)Plus plagiarism in WhitePaper why they used fake photos in first place. I don't buy it yet. It just look they made a scam project in first place and after people exposed it they change it and recorded video.  ::)

Is not good ideas ADD your project in Bitcointalk    ;D   you can get there only negative  ;D

We have Risty Moon (Russian account) who wants to buy BUU coins.

We also have Red Ron (woke up after 5 months of inactivity Russian account) who just happens to like their 'idea' and wants to invest.

Furthermore, their president - Robert Cholewka, holds a fake ID speaking non-sense with the worst possible Russian accent.

Your daily Russian scam.

"LOL Are you fake"  :D

morvillz7z   

100% LOL

Quoted for record.

So let's see if I understand this correctly: you collect money ( which you said in video that you don't) because exchanges won't list your crypto if you don't collect money?  :D

It is always good idea to promote project here. It is very bad idea to do it with stolen content and not real team.

And took 1 week to upload?  

Oh wait... they had to rent the office space fist to make a new video again, the dog ate the old video.

Some of the team couldn't participate on the video because they were busy doing some photoshoot for Shutterstock on that day.
And the other team members couldn’t find the office because they kept changing the address.

First they had a FAKE ADDRESS and changed to a new fake address:

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/fake%20add.jpg


At this “new location”, the offices have a different style. Address: 80 State Street , Albany , New York 12207-2543 - http://80state.com/available-space/

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/office%2080%20state.jpg


But if you go to EUROPE – ROMANIA – you will find the same office there. (maybe that’s why the team couldn't find the office, looking in the wrong country)
https://makler.md/real-estate/real-estate-for-rent/premises-for-rent/an/37749

Mitropolit G. Banulescu-Bodoni street, next to the Cathedral Park, Romania (or possible Moldovia?)

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/offromania.jpg

Video Removed?  WHY so soon?  is that because we found your office in Romania (or possible Moldovian)  instead of NY?

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/vidremoved.jpg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNiBFo3ik&feature=youtu.be

New excuse incoming:
"-That's because we have offices all around the world and we took video from wrong office not knowing we are not in New York."

Are you blind?
Team provided enough evidence and on your special PM request I have updated feedback on your trust wall.

/I am out of this thread.

ROFLAO - this person -   Avitarz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2258578) - sent us a PM asking to delete this thread...



http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/money.JPG

Don't take it unless they send you a copy of that mystery box. I really need to know what's inside.  :D

Good job on finding these fake offices.

It has to be Moldova, not Romania.

The company which offices these guys rented is called DOM imobil (Address: Strada Vasile Alecsandri 81, Chișinău 2012, Moldova)

I have seen multiple buildings with the same style with cars parked outside (having MD registration which stands for Moldova)

Their website domain is ".md"

There is another company which makes glass partitions called ErgoGlass (http://www.ergoglass.md/en/products/glass-construction/glass-partition) you can find a similar/if not the same office. They are also from Moldova.

FAKE TEAM FAKE OFFICE 


IS  MEETING ROOM 100%

"Yous are invited to came to our mailing address in Romania cuz our office in NYC infested with giant rats."

Meanwhile, ...


Dude gives me red trust for warning the community that BuuCoin is a fuckin scam while soliciting me via PM to delete my comment on their trust thingy, them no having a fuckin clue that I've NEVER partaken in the trust thingy, ergo there's no comment for me to delete. That said, I'll gladly accept $500 via crypto from anybody who'd love me to post my first neg trust, namely on BuuCoin's trust thingy, then I'll charge BuuCoin $1,000 to have it removed.

I delete my comment for 100$   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Has closed all social media   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Does guys from Optherium know that you are promoting scam projects? I think that they dont't know such interesting fact but someone need to inform them.

Kishinev(Chișinău) is capital of Moldova.

GOOD JOB has closed one fake team and coins   :D

Video has created more time ago  in the moment there is Restaurant ;D ;D ;D
https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FEaMCe2p.jpg&t=596&c=okPj1iruuhAd8Q

So I deliberately deleted the themes so that our team does not associate anything with the project.
What else is needed in order to remove the trust?

I think in your situation you should not try to curry favor.

Remove your trust? are you serious?  Looking at the final message you left on their Bounty threat you deserve another red trust.
You never posted anything that BUUCOIN is a scam.

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/failed.JPG

Everybody are tired from that fake ICO's, orchestrated by fucking idiots. It is so fucking easy for scammers to create a fake ICO.... I already wrote about that.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4474753.msg40161113#msg40161113

"Collusion with the moderator"... Are you delusional?

And those negative reviews coming from a scammer with a negative trust doesnt mean anything.

 
Nazi? ??? ROFLAO - Did you google that word?

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/word.jpg




Their website is OFFLINE!

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/offline.JPG



http://www.icoethics.com/imgs/other/999.gif

Surely, a classic scam accusations topic:

• fake team
• plagiarized whitepaper
• fake company addresses
• lying bounty manager
• hilarious video made in a desperate act to save their asses
• fake offices
• fake ID
• fake Buucoin cards
• fake Facebook profile of Robert Cholewka
• at least two shill accounts leaving fake negative feedback to people who exposed them, while leaving fake positive to a scam project
• third account comes into play and attempts to bribe in exchange for accusations to be removed
• happy end - their website, social media, and ANN threads are deleted

99% of all ICOs: https://streamable.com/58u1g  :D
(source: deleted Buucoin video from Youtube)

#SAD! Dude put up over $100K of his money to advance his venerable venture to only have us trolls distroy it with FUD.

Android and iOS apps from Buucoin are still live at this moment. I don't have any previous experience reporting apps, maybe somebody can contact Google/Apple and flag them. God knows what's inside.

^

Ain't that special!

Because I am in Chisinau at the moment I took a visit to them today. There are offices upstairs, 2 rooms actually, 2 companies.

None ever heard of cryptocurrencies yet.

Note* Don't ever go there, the food is terrible.

Quick update on Buucoin.

Their apps are missing from Google/Apple store for about 10 days now, so this whole thing is over.

Though that epic video is here to stay.  :D

Thank you for the update. They still listed on ICOHolder. ICOHolder marked them as a "possible scam"with a link to this thread.

The link to the video no longer work..  :( can you get another link?


This scam project was an EPIC FAIL!!!! I am still wondering how much money they spent on this scam. Maybe couple thousands?

I should start a YT channel entitled Epic Crypto Scams Vids (ECSV), consisting of ripping scammer's vids and retitling them, e.g.: Meet EPIC BuuCoin: The Fastest Way to Watch Your Precious Disappear; inspired by ...

Which makes you a truly fucked up person in this space for giving me a neg on my thrust thingy cuz I helped exposed this rogue entity.

You guys do right work, but your methods it's something like napalm. Ok. You untrust me. You don't hear me. Ok. I just leave it here. ICOEthics - you not better than scammers in you religious war with all over the world. Ok - it's yours choose not mine. Everyone do it own work. Good luck.

That is not my job to be sending your message to inform what is a scam or what is not. You should investigate/read the thread before adding scams to your website.
As I wrote to you, there were many warnings that this was a scam on that thread, and you posted your message anyway. Someone even posted a warning message that you would get a red trust. and you ignored.
I gave you a red trust on December 8th and you are complaining now? More than one month later?

Go clean your website, there are a few scams there. Dont be lazy, search for what is listed there and you will find here the ones marked as a scam.  

What makes a good listing site is not the quantity, but the quality.

Rating is old as this scam accusation, you didn't bother to click on reference and read this thread?
When did you remove Buucoins from your portal?
It is because you are DT2 now and your rating is visible to everyone who has default trust in their list.

All these people belong in a cell. I'm glad the SEC is comping between this market and hope they track individuals like those in this fake team and put them where they belong.

Probably he removed within the last few hours, because yesterday when he contacted me I checked his website and Buucoin was listed there. There are a few other scams listed there.

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/buucoin.JPG

This person deleted the post on this forum, he had the post just below the photo of the team where clearly you can read Shutterstock

http://icoethics.com/imgs/buucoin/buucoin1.JPG


Now you are worried about a red trust that was there before, but it wasnt visible to others until now - some rules on the forum changed recently.

Based on the message below, do you think that person care in what is listed on their website?  



ramirkz
There are less than 100 listings on your website, how long do you think will take to search for the name of those icos on the forum?
I saw a few other scams listed there.

You don't know how I work and show me how I must - thank's. I have big offline job and don't have many time for portal. Yes I saw red trust month later, because I work not for that and very many people wrote mi in PM and we do work together, not like you - it's your design. Repeat again - you work find scam and my work search bounty and add to portal. I don't ask you find me some new bounties? So, why you say me what me do - find the scam??? Bountyhunters can come to my portal, look list, go to thread, read, do decision scam or not, work or not. It's logic - all do their work. And - if people write me - I always clear list. Ok. I took so many time on this fooly dialog. life like boomerang - you will have what you do. Good luck.

Thank's that you heard me and situation is end. We all want more big and more clear market for all of us.

Not sure why but I somehow missed your post. Here's the full video snatched from their youtube channel shortly before they went dark.

good work bro you are save all ppl

Im sorry for upping this topic, but maybe this information will have interest for you.
I tried to test BinCoin web-wallets and E-commerce wallet (https://www.binpayment.com/register) looks like BuuCoin fork.
https://i.imgur.com/rvWpzK6.jpg
So, its possible, that we have now BinCoin as rebranded BuuCoin from its creators here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120167.0
And some people from team also looks fake (but I have no idea how to check it)
Also the project looks the same becouse of declared usecase (debit card), VISA logos on card pictures etc.

Thank you for finding this information. Yes, it appears it is the same old Buucoin. We noticed that are many similarities on their whitepaper as well. There is already  an open scam accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120221.0) against Bincoin.

Also we found this on Bincoin FAQs
