Title: Hex.win is a scam
Post by: CristianOff on April 30, 2020, 12:35:17 AM

SCAM ALERT
I was investigating etherscan and just found an erc20 token recently released (24 days ago):

https://etherscan.io/token/0x2b591e99afe9f32eaa6214f7b7629768c40eeb39?a=0xbc28029d248fc60bce0bac01cf41a53aeeae06f9


The founder is preparing to release it because he secured the website
https://hex.win/

This is a guaranteed scam:

Quote
HEX IS DESIGNED TO GO HIGHER, FASTER, AND RETAIN ITS VALUE.
Quote
Around 12 million or more of the 18 million total BTC worth of HEX claims will be given to the stakers on day 353! And! It gets multiplied by the Viral and CriticalMass adoption bonus multipliers which can increase it up to 3x!

It's asking users to buy their tokens through MetaMask using their credit card

An erc20 is better than bitcoin apparently:
https://hex.win/bitcoin-and-hex.html

Founder has 47.7k youtube subscribers at the moment:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCta3TYFhzfpPvOtKBDifYJA/videos
and 100% it's him since one of the featured channels is "HEXcrypto"
which leads users to hex.win


I created their web.archive.org here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200430001027/https://hex.win/



Please report all videos and social media. Also can someone report reddit? I don't know
how to do that and if it's something you can do. Those guys will be scamming people
out of bitcointalk, naive people that don't know much about crypto.

Also they have a meme section which is so sexist

Is this claim on his website real? It doesn't make much sense

The largest Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer used the money it made selling BTC mining hardware to Bitcoiners to try and kill Bitcoin and replace it with its own version.

Everything HEX related is a scam, because obviously this is another classic Ponzi scheme. So I don't really understand why people still commit to this project or the people behind. There have been a lot of write-ups exposing the HEX project itself.

To the OP, thanks for your warning, and again, I do hope that people will not blindly trust on this kind of Ponzi scheme just because the people behind promise them good returns.

I didn't know there were more "HEX" related scams. Apparently there was Bitcoin HEX as well ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523610.0 )
and pumpamentals.com. In other words he hosted an event where he promoted his scam

Thank you too for letting us know there are more "Hex" scams.

Don't know where you have been but HEX has been around a lot longer then 24 days.
And discussed many times here on the forum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206047.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211874.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523610.0

And if you dig into this forum you will find more scam accusations.

Yes it's a scam.
Yes the person running it is a scammer.
Yes you are an idiot if you give them any money.
Yes you can (could?) sign a message with your BTC address and get some free hex.

Stay safe.

Hex Project is pure scam no doubt about that.I was monitoring this project since its beginning. I heard lots of roumors about it's owner is true scammer.Now everything getting crystal clear it's nothing but a scam project.Now their Facebook posts is like 79x since December     __X since.... | Seems like they would like to attract the people with their current price growth. But don't think experience investor will invest this project newcomers might do.
