Title: ADDISON CHURCHILL "new exchange, best at everything"?? Post by: tmfp on January 18, 2019, 02:34:35 PM I became aware of this scheme as it is being spammed on the forum by a succession of newbie accounts in the following threads.
Apart from the occasional real comment, most reactions are from related newbie accounts. These are the threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098275.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099096.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098628.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098644.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098297.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098622.0 These are the accounts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1156351 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1158024 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157683 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157993 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157072 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157639 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157628 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157702 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1157755 Ongoing edits to include more sock puppets as they appear. They are all farmed accounts registered on 16/17 September 2017. Those which were earlier activated seemed to have been used for the same topic, a bumping/shilling/PR scheme (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2160861.0) Not really a good start for a site with such lofty goals as these: Quote from: wesite Our mission is to provide traders and crypto enthusiast a safe, reliable, best of breed trading experience and a global community. We are committed to growing the crypto revolution and providing new opportunities for people all over the globe to make money enriching their passion. Yeah, ok. Other "features" include: A three tier MLM "Ambassador" referral scheme (https://www.addisonchurchill.io/cryptocurrency-ambassador-addison-churchill/) with a calculator promising $1000's a month (passive) income No team, no history a Nassau P.O.box address Headline retweeting Twitter account A 2 followers FB account Same name as an FX business (https://www.zoominfo.com/c/addison-churchill/358434210) listed on Linkedin as run by a Keith Sazer in the NYC area, est. 2013. Little coverage info since 2014 or previous crypto involvement. Further research ongoing. Alexa traffic estimate is 100% from Nigeria (https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/addisonchurchill.io#). No reason for 20pt RED CAPS SCAM rating at the moment, but if it looks like a duck, associates with other ducks and quacks like one, then a sensible stance is not to indulge in $100million deals with it as suggested by their Fivvver video, without full due diligence..

Post by: nutildah on January 18, 2019, 06:07:40 PM I'm leaning towards scam. If an exchange or ICO or anything is legitimate, why would they need to employ a newb bumping/vouching service?
The four newb shill accounts were all created within 24 hours of each other: igorpavlic70 September 17, 2017, 05:04:59 AM fredcollins365 September 17, 2017, 08:23:45 PM nickcarter9078 September 17, 2017, 11:55:04 PM alonsoxavier1 September 18, 2017, 12:06:37 AM Oh, what do you know, OP was also created within this span: cameron70 September 17, 2017, 07:23:20 PM Reminds me of a token that uses its own team members for testimonials (https://www.freecoin.technology/).

(obviously apart from your shill accounts) "Awards and accolades" - You can get real fancy with the words there but that won't change the fact that your service is a shithole developed to scam people.Best Regards, Sure sir. What would you take to go away from the forum?Cameron Title: Re: ADDISON CHURCHILL "new exchange, best at everything"?? Post by: tmfp on January 18, 2019, 08:48:51 PM What would you take to go away from the forum? Well, back in September 2017, the price was apparently 1.25 BTC. I base that on the last post of the OP of the thread for which most these shill accounts were created and one-used, 1 legendary account, clean 1.25 BTC DM me if you're interested thanks And away he went, until the rump of that scheme (or whichever admin has control of these shill accounts now), ICO MARKETING : ARTICLES & REDDIT & DISTRIBUTION (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2160861.0) aka cryptodistribution.com, apparently snagged a contract to shill for Addison Churchill, as per the subject of this thread. If an exchange or ICO or anything is legitimate, why would they need to employ a newb bumping/vouching service? Yes, that's a reasonable question to ask, especially of a scheme which boasts of receiving Quote awards and accolades My experience of the bumping services/scam subject ratio is pretty much 20:20. Why would a quality setup think about how best to market itself and then decide on a crass, clumsy series of spam posts on Bitcointalk? |
