Insert the projects you know that are 100% scam ... I start HVN terminal, HBZ (helbiz)

You sounds like butthurt investors of HVN. Gave a proof that it's a 100% scam for a project with a working product and already catering invoice in there website.

Refer here for sold invoice: https://www.soldonhive.com

I'm not hyping HVN nor holding there token. I just saw there effort compared to Populous which their main competitors that the only thing do is to list their token on famous exchange then abandon the project development.

I'm sorry buddy but HVN is a scam that's why .....I followed the project closely, but I didn't invest any money ......
Yes its scam. The dev team selling to invoice buyers their own token for price 1 euro / each token.
Invoice buyers need have 1% payed in HVN token which need buy from dev team for price 1 euro/each.
But the team have 90 000 000 tokens so people invest in ico or token holders never be allow to sell tokens for 1 euro on platform because 90 mill tokens (=euros) as 1% that mean they need sell  invoices worth more than
9 000 000 000 euros to start take tokens from exchanges but on exchanges price is 11 satoshi so even after 5 years they can still buy another 90 mill tokens for 0.001$ /each token and sell again on their platform for 1 euro /each token. So people holding HVN are rekt.

Due to many scam projects then i cant mention each one of them or simply says then it would take like forever.

We have known lots of them and cant be point out by fingers thats why ICO or even IEO investment turns out the be shit
and not really worth for us to invest.

They doing that to pull the price on exchange if people buying 1euro in OTC then why the heck traders will trade it on exchange for a lower price. This is what the trader didn't understand. At the end bookmakers is just following the pulse of traders and all HVN holders don't get the point on that part. I agree with you that the team is still holding huge part of the token but the website itself didn't mention that buying OTC is the only option to get HVN. If a invoice seller/buyer is wise enough. They will find a way to minimize there expenses thru buying in exchange.

I really get now why you said it was a scam.  ;)

I knew alot of scam project but it's still useless and cant help after all.  What i mean even we make a more thread just to tag does pozi sh*t we still have no choice because the amount of such project were keep growing without knowing day by day.  .much better to stay away in investing from new projects ,, more focus instead to those where we can made even a small profits.

https://cryptochainuni.com/scam-list/
https://deadcoins.com/

there are so many of them, you can find them on those websites.

FARST, ATROX, UCOINCASH these 3 i've invested in with big amount but all of them are gone without any profits. This projects happen when bitconnect is hyped but when it's gone the similiar projects like these (lending programs) are turns scam and made crypto market chaotic

There are so many scam projects that have taken place from 2018 until now, even those that have already entered the stock exchange can become scams because their intention is not to develop projects but only to think about money, so many projects are scam.
I can not mention one by one but what I experienced was so much and there was regret and still it was only a risk.

there are so many that there is no point in starting a list. :D
there are already several threads about this topic and even a separate section here where all the scam is collected.
and while we are typing here, somewhere in the world some of them will surely turn out to be scam.

Howdoo, ARROW, Friendz, HEX, Uplexa, BAANX, UTNP, JINBI and many more. Isn't it better for you to go to the deadcoins[dot]com to get a lot of list about the scam coin? that will be a better place for you to get the whole list of scam coins. It may not 100% accurate but that's more than enough.

Over one thousand verified scam project. Scammer is everywhere and that sucks.

I don't care about HBZ anymore (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hbz-coin/) because I already dump my tokens when it pump a little last year.
This coin might recover again but only when in another bull run situation. 

I know most of the investors are disappointed by how the market behave so far, but we have no choice, we have enjoyed the last bull run, and now we should bear with it, listing coins as a scam project without evidence is non sense, you are just saying it based on opinion.

I don't think HBZ is a scam coin! Though they deceived the investors, but this is not a 100% scam. I have been holding HBZ coin since 2018, maybe I am too lazy to sell this because the price is just shit. If you look at 2018's coin, you will see lots of good projects are totally dead, maybe they 100% scam already! Like the Arrow, Nauticus Exchange projects are indirectly 100% scam, Bitdepository, Cryptassist too.

Good lists and I'd like to add another one.

https://www.coinopsy.com/dead-coins/

Do you have any reason why you want to list them OP? these websites are already doing it for us.

I cant name it one by one and forgot also the name of those scam projects since 2018 , and besides nothing will change even i put the name of those bounty campaigns that went to scam, it will only bring back the anger of bounty hunters

There are lot of scam projects until we can't say it again. Most of ICO/IEO nowadays are only even fake or scam project, which is not surprised. But how did you get scammed? Are you one of their investor or you are a bounty hunter who didn't get paid after ICO ends?

I think one of the causes of the project is indicated by the scam not only through payment. I know that Helbiz is a project that pays investors and bounty hunters. but, they did not run the project well, or according to their targets, and over time the development was dim until it was abandoned.
however, there have been many such projects to date.

If you accuse a coin or a project, you need to support it with proofs beyond reasonable doubt or else you are just throwing a baseless accusation.

If we look at new altcoin projects, most of them are dead. Many of them might be scams.

there is no need to write or drop those projects that are scam.. its useless.. no need to waste time for that. if you know they are scam then avoid it

but it will help also the other investors to not invest in the project by revealing what is the scam project.
But saying it a scam without a valid reasons is a problem you should also provide all things you know why you think the project is scam.

It's an old one but EthereumDark:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2106405.0

I did okay, made over $10K AUD from a $300 investment but a lot of folk lost a lot of money, the "Dev" made a fortune.

It's highly likely he was involved in more scam projects afterwards

I can't accuse a lot but since 2019 a lot of old projects and new crypto projects are dead, doesn't mean they are also called as fraudsters maybe they are bankrupt, if it is true they are cheating by taking investors' money it seems right, can tokens plus also be called fraud projects and some ico or ieo projects are also quite a lot but can't add one of them here because we don't know one day they can come back

There are many scam projects in this market. In my opinion, more than 90% of the projects are scams, not too many good projects in this market. Most projects are created for pumping and dumping, after which the projects will die over time. You can go to the reputation section to see more ICO scams

Im not sure anyone can make full list of scam projects. it is not bcz they cant do, but it is useless to do
I even dont understand what's advantage of listing scam project.
for alert noobs? then, you are better to educate how to know scam projects, then, let them do it alone in the future, that's more useful for them

Check in the board scam accusations and I have idea for you.
by using this read we can check and found all the scam projects from there and bring all the steps to in this thread op.
Reduced such activity it will be helpful for you as well as the newbies who want to participate in the bounties as well as going to invest their hard earned money

But how long we're going to wait for that come back to commence, it kinda boring and disappointing lately. The price wasn't doing so good and yet after some sort of increase never gain good outcome, because it eventually goes down and never recover so good. On the expectations of possible increasing trend, halving is the key factor to make those predictions be fulfilled.

If you have proof, make a scam accusation thread, because there are countless of scam projects and projects that people will call scam because they lost money on them and there's more to come because they will not stop coming. This will probably be a non-ending thread if people keep listing them.

The 100% scam project i knew or experience lost through investment is Karatcoin cause the project team went exile after the success of their ICO  and this project and project like Synapsecoin was the reason why i have a lot of knowledge in selecting good/genuine crypto project.

if you have issues in that Project and has enough evidence and proof?then better create a thread in Scam accusation section that you will find here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

or you can provide in reputation section so others will help you find out other evidence for the said case

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0

it is not easy to prove something like scam but you dont have just post this like that.

There is no need to name drop here but at least thanks for sharing 2 of the scam coins (for you).

To be honest, I joined the bounty program of HBZ (translation) and got paid by it and fortunately their coin got a value where I sold 60% of my total rewards in the campaign which I used to buy my own phone. I sold my remaining holdings of HBZ when the coin pump at least it is 100% pure profit since I didn't invest a single penny from it.

I don't consider HBZ as a scam coin at this moment but more on a dead coin for me. The price of it goes down very hard and they are updating right now (I think since I don't visit their social media sites anymore). Anyway, it is good that some of the users out here have time to share the scam projects that they know and I hope that no one here got scammed by these projects.

When I saw your post, I am quite disappointed. I expected a post that looks reliable. I will really read it thoroughly even if its a long post when I saw proof of being scam. How did you know that it is 100% scam? What are the methods that you used to determined that it is 100% scam. For me, this is just an accusation and not a post who have full of facts with proofs and evidence.

There are indeed hundreds of scammed projects on the space. The few popular ones that I know are Unioncash, helbiz token etc. Although Hbz gave some few profits but it turned out to be a scam in the end.

I think BAANX not scam projects, my friend join and follow BAANX projects and of course the reward so legits. there is a two round, in one second the project is pending then many people said scam and second round really happen but people not believe that so only small person join and absolutely the reward so big because only small people join

due to the overwhelming number of scam projects you can create a book of more than hundred pages for the fake profile of teams alone. you wouldn't have to add the projects that were only added to an exchange and the team disappear after dumping the tokens supposedly locked for them. and finally you will have to separate the scam projects from 2017, 2018 and 2019.  

back when ICO was great I will spend a lot for i know coins are easily added on bittrex and liqui now, the exchanges are like asking ransom money from the teams, it looks like they are joining the scam teams. but this will be another book too.

Lazer Project 100% scam . when ico still run the team of projects vanished and no one know then they are not leave the message about it. and make the projects unfinished of course make many people include investor and bounty hunter has been participate dissappointed about that
and many other in there but i am forgot because has long time ago

there are so many scam projects and it is impossible for me to mention all of them here, I also think that if there will not be much influence if I write all of them here it is better to be more careful of projects that want to deceive us all

LSPROFIT

Guy just created this topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220427.0

Standard ponzi, better stay away and don't get carried by unrealistic returns.

very nice list !
i wanted to write that its easier to list all non-scam coins than the scam coins
but this list made it much easier
still there are many more scams that operate as a legit project, but somehow scam investors
by exploiting some vulnerability in the law, code, monetary supply, mining etc..

I don't remember what project but before escort i think some project run with investor's money. But now maybe project that not success is a lot but not a scam for me because investor make investment and lose their investment is a risk like what trader do. If trader lose, it means the coin not good and it not considered as scam (cmiiw).

Really? If you know the scam project but you just let them grow up in this community then I think this forum will be leaved by many people and this forum won't ever paid you anymore. Actually you can report the easily, post on scam accusation board and put the proof don't just make an argument that the project is scam but you didn't have a proof it will be useless. More than that, if you intens to make a report about scam project you will be recognized by all people here and you will be respected by all people here and you get benefit from it. If I were I will do that but I don't have any knowledge to report them and I don't how the way to catch up the scam project.

i remembered one project from my previous campaigns , and its RACHELX ,its ieo is conducted on four exchanges but it went to scam when the bounty ends, they said they are on a vacation to discuss new plans.

I agree with second suggestion of this link because we can find many old projects or new projects that are scams so we don't need to write list of scam projects here or you can go here to find more details https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic = 5110020.0

For Helbiz it was already paid, and the HBZ price was very bad in the market and it was common, so what about the project from Rachelx? is it currently paid?

another project called Invech. as they have informed, they have already received tens of millions of dollars in funds, only until now, there has not been a good enough development. in fact, until now there has been no information regarding its development. besides that, quite a lot of projects are indicated by other scams, even proven.
In the case of Helbiz, it seems like at the beginning of this project, everyone gets paid, even the coins were traded. it's just that, until now there has been no significant development from that.

Phishing projects are very much on bounty campaigns. So we should know how to evade these scams, here are some of the scams I've seen:
WPP, Ichain, Auditchain. All of the above have given a very nice picture but could not do anything. then they cheated investors and fled the project. It has a common feature that promises a lot and the project CEO doesn't really think about the price of the token.

Some get affected or the market on the past week and maybe they lost from volatility since the value of their holding sink down when the market crush so badly that's why we can't see any development from them until now, And we should move on from them since they are not doing good since maybe in their second comeback if there it is they will just collect again and do the same when they accumulate again their targets.

You can find thousands of projects each year which were solely created to scam the investors, either they give you fancy tokens to promote the project for months where they have no intention to list in any exchanges and then there are airdrops scams where they use to get your personal details and mailing list and to use those details to sell in the market.

BSV. Guy used to be with BCH, forked original bitcoin, got into fight with his friend and forked the fork of bitcoin,,, and then keeps claiming he is Satoshi himself and yet cannot even do a simple proof.

Then keeps lying and pumps his BSV. And people still cannot see it is 100% scam?

helbiz has become such a bad project. the development of their products has been carried out in their country. but it doesn't seem to be going well. and it's not one of the scam projects. because they pay even though now there is no good result at the price of the token.

Those acts are mostly being facilitated by scammers who are really good in tricking other people. It's difficult to track them as they have a good way to attract more participants to support their projects. If you want  to lessen the risk of wasting your time make sure to investigate and never to engaged right away but to learn further regarding to the project.

It's a classic lie in this market, I've also seen a lot of projects that are similar to the project you're talking about. They said they needed time to discuss and develop the project, but by the end they were gone with the investor's money. It is best to stay away from new projects, if you are interested in the altcoin market, then we should choose the top altcoins in this market.

Those were no differences from the pump and dump groups that are trying to make the market look so profitable but it was all an act manipulation so that people with less knowledge will automatically trust and fall to their trap. It's already happening before and people should learn the mistake of the others.

hearing those words or promises like they need some time and will comeback soon sounds already scammy  . but how come they become scam if they are already listed , not only one but 4 exchanges   ?  what if people report these exchanges and the exchange de list those coins   . so far i havent been scam because i stop joining ico based project for a while  . i think i will only convince to join if some established coins will do some kind of a bounty or an airdrop because that seem to be believable to me  .

HVN works. They keep addressing accountants in Slovenia to use their platform.  HVN problem is that they was not able to break out of Slovenia. Not capable team. Definitely not a scam.    

Many ICO projects do not have a capable team. If they would be capable of doing successful project then they would not need to make an ICO in the first place and would found themself the normal way through banks and angel investors. They of course make a research to see if team can do it or not.

There is a lot of projects that become scam I dont mention those projects because I forgot it. But you can search in here Bitcointalk you can see that many projects are become scam. And many person are still believing that there altcoins are getting higher again.

I can’t name them all but large percentage of ICO’s are scam and very few are real deal. Some ICO’s has unclear status due to lack of updates in the community or maybe they exited already without investors knowledge which is very nasty.

I will not stop saying this until enough people realize it : XRP. You may think just because its the third biggest coin or traders loving it or whatever reason you like it but you will never know enough about it as someone who has been in this space for over 7 years. Anyone in the crypto world knows why it was created and what was the purpose of it and nowadays people do not understand why other people dislike it.

XRP was created so that financial places could transfer money from place A to place B cheaper and faster, that was the only reason Ripple was created and why they created XRP. There is absolutely no reason for XRP price to matter, it could be less than 1 cent or could be 10 dollars and the purpose of it is still irrelevant to what is used for.

Where should I even start from? Well, I only consider them to be scam. I could be right or wrong. It would be cool if you can justify why you think they are scam. They may not be a scam.
I actually think that in this state of the crypto market, it will be hard to know which project is scam or not

I think the scam projects list will be bit more here because we don't expect that best project are going to turn a scam project like a bitconnect, xem and more. and there is more ico projects scams to bounty hunters and investors it has increased more day by day so we have fight with those kind of projects before going to scams someone.

If I listed them here, it would surely be very long. But simply, you just go to coinmarketcap.com and look at the altcoins outside the top 100. I believe 99% of them are scam and useless, the altcoin market in 2020 needs to purify this projects before wanting strong growth

i think there are tons of scam project in altcoin section but what i have learn is

"I am Hero"project
"JINBI"project
"Cryptonity"project
"BX.BET"project
 
and there are lots of them that i almost forgot the names,some of my friends are victims of these scammers and nothing happens from their investments and effort in Bounties,but they entered with their own risk believing that they will earn good.in short?it is Greed who turns them on.

You can help to input project to the list created by TalkStar : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179931

at least the thread is still actively moderated until now. some people write jinbi and hbz, I agree with that, jinbi is even worse because it never has a price even though it is already listed on the exchange market, a case similar to evn.

ICO markets have loosen faith from the investors. Even if we see a real and potential ICO project about to star, we yet consider it as a scam only because of the previous shady projects in the markets. I do not understand why would some scammers tend to create a scam project?

They would never ever succeed by doing so as they might perhaps get few bucks from the new investors who have not yet developed the ability to judge the project by it's background check but the investors might get well advanced soon which would never allow them to invest in such shady projects anymore. People who develop such scam projects should be behind the bars and should never be able to show their face up online again.

Now is not time for ICO project because they have been finished last two years and look not repeated once more again become success, many investor left for investing with ICO project because they have been failed with lost much money after investing with ICO, maybe time for IEO but still not worth which one become profit.

They are so many to mention. I just hope that those managers of scam projects will have a proper sanctions so that they will be careful on what project they are going to manage. They are just wasting the time of some bounty hunters out there that is giving their 100% to be able to advertise their project but they will just scam them.

i have the same question as blue letters say.

Elias Ch.

There would be a huge list of such projects if we start numbering those. There already have been a lot of scam projects busted by some of the reputable members of the forum and also you could find list of their individual busted projects which would perhaps save your time to hunt those yourself.

ICO and IEO industries have given birth to a lot of scam projects and some of those were also successful to collect funds from the investors and vanish forever. This has made a lot of investors stand on a verge of loss but the markets might change in the coming times with more advanced features which would never allow anyone to develop a scam project anymore. I even feel some potential projects might be scam as we would never be aware about the actual team behind those.
