Title: MasHash - Cloud Mining or Ponzi scheme.
Post by: $crypto$ on September 09, 2024, 02:09:39 PM
What happened: We know cloud mining of any kind is a scam, we often find that these projects end up being scams.

Website:
Code:
https://mashash.com/
ANN Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5508717.0  archived post (https://ninjastic.space/post/64511619).
Promotion: qqwx (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1762857)

Investment plan offered by MasHash

Maybe some of you already know that this should be a cautionary tale, that projects that offer this kind of thing are scams.

I see large deposits and withdrawals, it's a little questionable is there anyone who invests like this?
Usually, transaction history like this is just a sweetener to attract investors.

OP, first of all, do you mind to break the link to their site or place them on a code bracket so we won't actively provide them a back link?

Second... uhh... I believe it's a truism? All of their profile shout Ponzi scheme.

The address, "483 Green Lanes, London, England, N13 4BS" street view will not show any headboard sign of mashash.

They claimed that they've been around since 2019, and though a website age checker will confirm that the site is four years and nine months old, it's not entirely true that the company's been using the site since 2019. In fact, the domain was for sale in 2021 (https://web.archive.org/web/20220205194110/https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=mashash.com), and only recently active as mashash as what's shown now.

Registration number? Non-existent.

I won't even bother hunting the photo of the reviewers as I am quite sure someone can find them on the internet, either from photostock or a stolen photo that's used without the real owner's permission.

But, good job, OP, one more ponzi bit the dust before they can scam the forum.

The Anncoment topic promoted by this member @qqwx, whose link you mentioned in your scam accusation topic OP, has been deleted. This promoter was expected to stop promoting it after this topic was raised. However, he again promoted the Cloud Mining/Ponzi scam site on the Mining (Altcoins) board [here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5508785.0)].

I will report his second topic and tag his account. It is clear from his posts that he is an unknown bounty manager, as indicated by his following quote, that he received payment from the team of this fraudulent platform, regardless of the risks investors or bounty hunters might face if a bounty campaign is launched. [Truly selfish people who only care about their own interests. >:(]

[NOTE: I am paid only for posting this announcement. If you have any question, please go to their website and can ask directly]

Okay, I hope you will do your research again and avoid promoting any fraudulent platforms or projects to maintain your reputation. Many people could be deceived by your paid marketing.

I noticed that you deleted the content of the announcement topic you promoted. You can also lock the topic and move it to the Archival.

I will change the trust feedback from negative to neutral to avoid forgetting this issue.

Edited now the link uses code.

They claimed that they've been around since 2019, and though a website age checker will confirm that the site is four years and nine months old, it's not entirely true that the company's been using the site since 2019. In fact, the domain was for sale in 2021 (https://web.archive.org/web/20220205194110/https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=mashash.com), and only recently active as mashash as what's shown now.
I believe this is their main domain which is only 19 days old.
Code:
mashash.top/
https://whois.domaintools.com/mashash.top
It's possible that they bought the domain to make it look like it's promising with over 4 years of age for people to believe, but it's a complete ponzi scheme.

About what you weren't aware? The thread was posted from your profile. You were willingly posting about this Ponzi. Unless you don't know what you are posting, then why do you make an announcement thread for them? Any of the users here know this is a Ponzi scheme, but you don't. You are just promoting scams for money. This is a direct scam, nothing indirect here. You should take lessons from this. We discourage anyone on the forum to avoid promoting scams.

I peeked at their thread history, and I think they has a tendency to accept any project, regardless of their future prospect. Those typical bounty manager who facilitate questionable "ICO" and all. Albon was tagging them with neutral and they're in his radar now, so I believe he'll pay a close look at their next project.

With that in hand, I'm quite eased, knowing that he'll dilligently report the next questionable [with basis] project they promoted.

You received several warnings that you ignored with the excuse that you were only paid for that post. Now it's your account red-tagged, I guess that earned money was worth that much.

He didn't even try to learn, nor will he pay more attention next time. If he was ready for something like that, it wouldn't have come to this. From now on it will be even easier for him, he has deleted his reputation (if he had one) and he doesn't have to worry about it.
