Title: Bitconnect scam (Waso needs flag support)
Post by: marlboroza on June 15, 2019, 01:20:39 PM

Mr. Carlos failed to pronounce Bitconnect correctly and something is wrong with this guy:

He smiles way too much and I am not saying they are scammers but I think if anyone make deals with this account in future has high chance of loosing money. Red flags are everywhere.

And also, I have found something here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitconnect but I will read it later.

Judging by the shilling back in the day, there should be THOUSANDS of victims making this the most red-flagged account in no time. Could be a good test of how likely are actual victims of actual scams to come forward.

It would not surprise me if they don't, victims usually choose to remain silent, especially in this space where chance to get your money back is nearly equal to zero. We shall see...

Side note - do we have statistics how many scammers are "red flagged" at the moment?

Supported. It's sad to support that flag because it practically does nothing. I wish someone who actually got scammed starts a level 3 flag so that warning is visible on their profile.

You can 'create' your own statistics based on the information posted here http://loyce.club/trust/flags/ Unfortunately, not many because there has to be a direct contract violation to tag someone with a scammer flag.

I have given a support from my end, but still unfamiliar what will this do to the account actually?

And how to know if a supporter of this initiative is themselves a scammer OR accused?

And, are these flags having levels too like we have for DT?

I guess LoyceV may be working on this. :)

Yeah, well, that's the whole idea I guess.

Didn't see that one, will check it.

I don't think bitconnect will come here to support this. Speaking in general, you don't. If they support initiative against them that is fine, but I don't think they will.
And, are these flags having levels too like we have for DT?

It's not allowed to create a new flag when an existing flags covers it already, so there shouldn't be many flags per account.

I was thinking of color-coding the flags based on the category they're in :)

That shit made me laugh like I went insane!
Many who invested in their scam must be crying in the grave now and this EDM is a perfect trance showing all the aspects of how all the hype was being milked by its producers and how it eventually died.

Matos looks like one of those religious blind followers who was put in the stage to confess how his life became better but he didn't know what to say so he just milks the moment by trying to hype the crowd. And he didn't fail by doing so, he became a meme but I'm really sad for their investors  :(

Supported that red flag. But if I am not wrong, this is newbie flags( since I can't see red warning). Someone need create red flags who is scamed by them. Unfortunately at the end I have lost some money with them and I would like create red flags for break written contract. Since forum ask open new thread with reason then I need to check if there is remain any evidence.

You must create a topic describing the specific acts which damaged you.

If I found enough evidence then I will create red flag for all, or if someone else have enough evidence then feel free to create red flags.

I support the flag, I promoted this scam but eventually, I lose a lot here, not only money but some friends who I refer to invest here, so I always keep watch on some projects who looks and has features like Bitconnectcoin, they have no lose here in the cryptocurrency community.
