Is it necessary make 42 post, means 6 post per day. Condition is post should be meaningful.

There will be spam instead of meaningful post. Because it's not easy to make 6 constructive post per day.


1000 ETH isn't small amount , they don't trust escrow.


May be they want increase their registers.

Although they are payment is much higher from other campaign. But I feel it's not safe for participant.

Edited : 26-08-2018

As far as I know, Eventually the campaign manager and admin skip without full payment of signeture campaigner and forum posting bonus. And abruptly removed bonus offer from his forum without prior notice, which is considered for cheating.This thread remain open for future discussion if need. Look like they also ban Yahoo from their forum. Perhaps it's not orginal yahoo from bitcointalk.

They even haven't responded to this  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.msg44111495#msg44111495)yet.

That altcoin signature campaign started out on the wrong board (Services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0)) too.

Greed makes it easy to scam people. If they would really have that much money to spend on a campaign, it would be very easy to make a credible campaign and get high quality posters. But they don't, and the thread is started by a bounty spammer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2157460;sa=showPosts;start=300).

You can use the thread to detect and report spammers :D

The 42 number seemed odd, I assumed they were Douglas Adams fans.

If you check it out though, 30 of these posts are required to be done on another forum. They are only requiring 12 to be on BTCT. So there requirement shouldn't directly cause spam on this forum.


As far as escrow goes, that's up to the participants to decide if it's worth the risk wearing the signature. Coolcryptovator did quote the part of the OP where they say they will not escrow. I think I've seen 2 campaigns to date that cut and run. Both obviously without escrow. I guess we'll know after week one.

I applied to join them and now that I think about it, it does seem too good to be true. I will reach out to admins and try to probe them for a response.

We'll see how this pans out.

as for now they are updated on the payment of their forum contest participants, ive been paid twice , one is on the activity contest the other is in link promotion. as for their signature campaign it is too early to accused them of being a scam

Well. They rejected me and the reason is pretty darn stupid. Just shows they hired an incompetent guy for the job.

I also wrote about this on their forum : https://icoforums.net/topic/386/icoforums-is-in-danger



No one is accusing them of scam. But anyone refusing to do escrow is worthy of suspicion.

I am also watched that thread and they were paying huge rewards for a week which is the thing that make the people to think as scam,and also if we watch the post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2157460;sa=showPosts) of iamsediii (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2157460) he is just a pure bounty hunter then why we need to trust them for holding 1000ETH :o.

Maybe there are chance to steal the information which has been used for signup so we never have to use the same password of Bctalk to signup there.

I probed them a little more and soon the admin (idiot) removed my post. Here's how the conversation went :

The admin guy is the bounty hunter turned "campaign manager" who is supposedly "just following owner" lol

This is why I hate these new forums as it is so easy for them to just sush away anything negative and screen content. Bitcointalk is too big and in the mainstream for that shit to happen.

Those rates are generous, I'll say that.  Don't know if any of it is a scam or not, but I'll be paying attention to this one.

Whether or not they pay these campaign participants, their chances of successfully launching a new forum is fairly slim--unless members can use their signature space to advertise like they can here.  Somebody tried it last year and even had a campaign going, and not only didn't the participants get scammed but the forum only had spammers visiting it.  The link to the scam accusation is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2108860.0).  So this icoforum thing is probably going to be no better than icodiscuss.  We'll see.

Yeah, that's the big red flag to me.  By itself it might mean nothing, but along with the pay rates that seem too good to be true just for a new forum, my nose smells some funk on this one.  I'm not sure how those rates can be paid by a project that doesn't have a well-defined revenue stream. 

The only other fairly decent 'new' breed of forum that I have seen are Bitcoinpub and bitcoingarden. But the pub is anti BTT and they are very trigger friendly when it comes to criticism. And garden is mostly overrun with shittiness.

However the outright denial to escrow, the cartoonishly large sum of money entrusted to a bounty monkey turned campaign manager; that does not even know how to manage entries or setup a decent and organized application form are huge red flags for me.

I wouldn't jump to any rash conclusions just yet.  This isn't even a large amount of money to most crypto investors, lets wait for the first 2 weeks to see if they end up paying.

Can not open icoforums.net website, do they want to pay real money or just want to increase registration number. I also expect a good campaign but their request is too high.

Can not I conclude that this is a fraudulent campaign ? But according to the analysis of people here, I think that I should not join because it will take time to work in vain.

Last 2 hours, Their Server down

Their website is down now,pretty sure it won't come online again.What bothers me is,why would an admin spend thousands of $ for a forum who is not even monetized yet? Doesn't make any sense unless there is something sketchy behind it.

Edit:Here's the ETH addy of the admin:https://etherscan.io/address/0xba0d86e83ada8e9faeaf3c0d14f210654739a6c7 (https://etherscan.io/address/0xba0d86e83ada8e9faeaf3c0d14f210654739a6c7)
He already paid new members rewards including 0.5 ETH for 100 posts,too much sketchiness for today lol.

We are talking about 1000 ETH under an arrogant peanut monkey (bounty hunter) I wouldn't trust these guys with my dog's poop.

Maybe a newbie here posting might not give that much of a comment here but I was paid by that site for 0.02 eth for a measly less than 20 number of posts while the one who referred me got 0.50 eth. There's no referral thing here though, and if you rread the original thread again it was down due to a server migration.

Its also dumb to close a site that is yet to monetize after spending few ETH. Also you can simply login via gmail instead of creating an actual account with password.  

Also the hero member is funny lol, so he wanted "him" to be prioritize since he had higher ranking than others? What a nice way to treat other lower rank members here. Now since the admin decline your request just because you dont want to follow the rules he imposed, just move on ok. Also based on the chat logs that you posted yourself it looks to me that you'e the arrogant one and you look down on others.



Tldr; I was paid so everything is ok for me.

Just my 2 cents.

That is $6.

The signature campaign is offering up to more than 40x that amount. Suppose they pay out the lower-ranking participants that they accept right now, and will stop when they accept higher rank members. That means a lot of free traffic and assumed reliability, at least to start with.

This hypothesis also mimics the standard protocol of a ponzi and/or con.

Yup I understand, the only reason why I posted here is to inform that I was paid, though it's not the bounty campaign since I'm not eligible for it. The only thing that somewhat got my attention is the person earlier who kept on spamming the bounty thread, I only went to that thread to check why the website is down then I saw his posts lol.

I don't think he is arguing for higher ranks should priorize,if a good campaign manager would accept the best posters to expose more about the project not the shit posters,that is why he is saying he got rejected but many one line shit posters were accepted.

But why a bounty hunter is managing such an huge project and even he is not wearing the signature of that ICO forum.Suspicious right. :o

May I ask then, who are those shitposters he's referring to? also did you even check the chat logs? he's simply trying to down the person just because his application was not accepted.
Also this " This is why I hate these new forums as it is so easy for them to just sush away anything negative and screen content.  " then why did he tried to join the campaign in the first place if he hated them.

So a newbie, a pinoy as in from the same country as the "admin" and "kousei_arima" - the two showrunners of this entire facade apart from the mystery owner.

You even got merited by two people who are in the same campaign. Smells like merit abuse if you ask me or bias, but hey I'm not judging a newbie earning some merit, not at all. I am sure the entire philippines would be ready to merit vote you to presidency (and massacre some drug addicts)

Returning to the topic.



Aww you find me funny? So sweet of you.

I don't look down upon anyone. Since you are pretending to be a newbie I am going to let this slide - because clearly you do not know me (we all know you are just an alt of somebody here so don't worry)
My motto has always been about HELPING people. Supporting them. Not the other way around.




I never asked to be prioritized
Since you TLDR-ed the entire point, you don't get to pass judgements. READ what's written (or maybe you are one of the admin guy who knows?)

The entire point was the person handling this campaign doesnt even understand how applications are processed.

• He has a separate application form that people need to manually fill up  - Laziness from the "manager" that results in an unorganized haphazard sheet to read
• He overlooked the fact that I was already in another campaign and I mentioned it quite clearly that I am ready to update my profile the moment I am accepted into THIS campaign. A standard campaign application process.
  
  Thats how its done. But he simply rejected my entry citing that I had the wrong avatar / signature. Hence signifying his lack of experience as a manager - of which he is doing a shit job AND a basic common sense.
  http://i66.tinypic.com/2ep4rap.jpg
  http://i66.tinypic.com/2ymccog.jpg
  
  
• Look into the chat log the two guys don't even agree on how many people should actually be in the campaign, one of them even said that he thinks 200 people are way too many.  
  Which could mean the out of clue spreadsheet monkey could be way beyond their actual campaign budget

No you may not ask. Because the sheet is already present and everyone regardless of how biased or dumbwitted they are can read it and judge for themselves.

And I tried to join because of the same reason everyone else joined. But after I applied and before I was "rejected" I came here check the timestamps of every post. The suspicion bug had already bitten me. It made no sense for me to risk going out of a reputable well trusted campaign manager's campaign and head into another super high paying campaign that doesn't even trust escrows.

#IfSomethingIsTooGoodToBeTrueThenItProbablyIs

Besides that, I am not opening that hodge-podge of a sheet again to hurt my head.





Look, you said you got your $6 .. it never happened unless you prove that with transactional hashes and prove that you actually got paid by these guys.

And even if you - an obvious shiller for these guys - got paid your $6 - does that mean that over 200 people should trust these people for amounts of over thousands of dollars? That too when these guys have out right refused to trust the very community leaders (escrow holders) they are trying to syphon onto their forum?



Also, do not overlook the fact that they deleted my post on their forum asking the owners why they are not accepting escrow. If not the entire amount surely they could entrust someone trustworthy here who can hold at least the weekly payments for the participants.

But they outright deleted that post because fuck logic and transparency.

I checked the transaction they rewarded to contestants.Most are successful.If this is scam or something, then what is the motive behind that???

No one is accusing them of scam.
But no one is absolving them of it either. At least not anyone with half a brain at the least.

Paying for contests and measely sums are still somewhat of a believable thing but a 1000 ETH entrusted to a bounty hunter? Someone who has no clue on how to handle a campaign application? The outright denial to escrow or even show proof of a wallet that has this elusive 1000 ETH - all of this just reeks of stinky dead fishes to me.

What I think they are trying to do is boost their forum member numbers and then they will approach a new ICO/Startup and charge them a fortune to advertise their product on their forum.


OR



ALSO


Their escrow wallet :



Was funded just 12 hours ago. Who's wallet is this? Where is the ownership proof? Who is in control? Who is the owner? Why is it coming from Binance and not an identifiable owner's wallet?

LMAO, merit abuse? seriously? also it sounds like you're a racist as well.  also being a newbie here doesn't mean that I'm stupid. Just because your ego didn't accept that the admin did not accepted you as a part of the bounty campaign, and now those that you called "shit poster" are accepted. Felt crying now?

You're even planning to create a story about me being an alt of someone here, is there any benefit for me doing that lol? if you even check my post, they're mainly posts from airdrop threads. Also do you have any proof of it? or just accusing me of something I didn't do? coz you can't think of anything and you'll just create a fairy tale about me. And yes for a fact, I don't even know who the f are you.


Oh by the way here's my transaction:

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x46e17d5bc86d670bd8b2d32e9e6bfff7fd12b11528cca9426511d19ca3342556

also I don't even know where did that admin came from, while for the moderator. I was a member first before he was added AFAIK, I even reported most of his initial post as he acted like a police in every threads.


While for the basic common sense, can you enlighten me about it? since as you can see I'm a newbie here. How do you define it perhaps with your own LOGIC + EGO? lol

So to make the story short, you're whining because you and the admin did not come into the conclusion whether which one would budge first?

You updating your siggy + avatar first, or the admin adding you on the bounty participants before you updated yours?
Also you've mentioned that you hated new forums right? then why did you even bother joining that website?


" Since you TLDR-ed the entire point, you don't get to pass judgements.  "

- > I guess you can look into the mirror, you judged me because of merits, my nationality and my rank here. Ironic right?


No one is accusing them a scam? have you read what you posted before?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.msg44207919#msg44207919

" I will keep repeating this post until the campaign host and owners make a statement on the scam accusation / suspicion thread I mentioned here."
Who posted that? a ghost probably.

Learn to read.

The trust can be made if he actually holds that money by signing in message from that wallet,because I doubt that a bounty hunters is worth to hold 1000 ETH?

Why they are afraid to take an reputed escrow if they were legit. ???

Yep, I know how to read. So what now? can't say anything anymore? or probably you already looked in the mirror.

I have said what I want to say and I will not engage in a pissing contest in a dimwit like you who simply can't read.


Just like how being still and being silent arent the same thing, similarly, reading sentences doesn't mean you actually read them or understand what's written. Hence dimwit. Not an insult. A fact.



Legit or not they do not have 1000 ETH to pay for. Otherwise, the owner would have responded.

I believe all these bickering will come to rest next week when pay day will come. I know that whatever the bounty manager say here now without a proof of escrow will not be accepted by those accusing him of inappropriate behavior. Such concern and fear is expected. I also feel it. But that does not mean the bounty hunters will get scammed.

Uhm okay thanks for the insult, feel crying now? Btw I'm currently waiting in line as someone who might get paid 0.5 eth for 100+post today/tom.

It doesn't guarantee though that bounty for signature will be paid for sure. Well it doesn't matter to you though since you're not even included on the bounty list afaik.  ;D

All warnings signs for a possible "Scam".

1. Inexperience Campaign Manager
2. Escrow is a Must
3. Not responding to this thread.

Please take note that I'm not accusing the project as a Scam. But its a bit sketchy not having escrow that $1000 ETH because as others have pointed out, who the hell hold the funds?

---

I quickly scanned the list of accepted participants, #166 and #167 possibly an alt. If anyone can connect the 2, it will be much better  ;D

https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa60f6fdf0e6f9b9a7cf5bc089b82b9fbfd14db6d218db51577662010fb0162e1

So here's the proof of the 0.5 eth payment, again this is for the activity campaign. It doesnt guarantee that the signature bounty will be paid as well. Btw it might be a good idea to check on the wallet as well, it only have 3 eth remaining, lets see if there would be a restocking of it or not.

With all that money he could hire the. Best posters in the forum

They would be creating very good threads in icoforum . This could even make that forum a good one.

Snow he is hiring spammers and probably will not pay anyone. If he pays, he is wasting money because people will just spam "good project" there lol

What a waste.

Check this out people. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4913013.0
Iamsendiii, their bounty manager is enrolling a bunch of his alt accounts. Is involved with merit abuse, trust farming and bounty cheating.

Seems like you don't realize what the reality is. Stop jumping to immediate conclusions.

Well, those people who post only "good project" type of posts are paid more than the best posters. And who cares about spam, when you get money.

Just an update, so the wallet for activity has been funded by the admin, there's only 3 eth remaining last night from the last post that I had here, an extra 10 eth has been added few hours ago.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.msg44310525#msg44310525

seems like they own that wallet with 1000+ ethereum based on my personal research.

Your research is based on the ~1300 ETH address sending some amount to the 10 ETH address.

This is not a good way of establishing proof of ownership since I can do the same thing by withdrawing Ethereum from an exchange. The exchange's input address would most likely have a huge amount of Ethereum, right?

---

Simplest way is to sign a message.

That make sense though would someone normally transfer his ethereum from one exchange to another? As you can see the incoming balance are all from binance. Would you also mind telling me where would a sign appear? Is it on the comments or input in etherscan? Thanks

One thing I noticed for sure,is they mainly pay the reward for doing 10 posts (which is 0.02 ETH) but they don't pay for the 100 posts reward (which is 0.5 ETH).There is dozens of requests for the 0.5 ETH one but only few actually received the reward.

Well, here you go. More ICOforums shit.
I have been beating my drums. I am glad someone else with more time in their hands could dig all this up. If I had more merit left, I'd have given it to you. Good Job.

Yeah you are just pissed off because you aren't accepted in that campaign. You shamelessly offering your services in our campaign? Are you trusted to hold 1300+ eth? Don't get me laugh you have problems before right if i remember right, you've been negged because of copying someone else work 2nd you've almost negged and SMAS blacklisted by joining in jamal's shady campaign but you managed to get out since lauda saved your ass. You aren't trusted to hold 1300+ eth to you dumbass. I rather trust the that amount of eth to iamsedi than you legendster #scammer

P.S. i don't care if i've been negged because of this i'm leaving this fucking toxic forum

If you'd actually read the posts of those people who got their payments declined, you'll understand why they weren't paid.

You are in the wrong place bro!

You need to create a separate thread for this in the Reputation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0) section,don't interrupt an discussion which is already getting sensational,but now we are going to see accusations against another new manager with high rewards! :D

Where's the "icoforums.net" part? We're on that topic, not any other. I think it's best to split this conversation off to a different thread. This one is not a general suspicious campaign topic.

What you think =/= the truth!

The forum is called "Bitcointalk",you dumbass. This thread is named as "Suspicious signature campaign!!! icoforums.net", emphasis on the bold part.

There is a campaign called SOAR? Oh well, there have been worse campaigns shitposting bounties.

And, Chipmixer and bustadice aren't ICOs. One is a mixing site and other is a gambling site, both are well reputed, and long running campaigns.

@DarkStar_, he's mad at you because you rejected his alt.  ::)

Create another thread and "discuss" your right to report your opinion. Go ahead! The platform(hypothetical) is all yours.

---

Get rid of the annoying font.

When I saw your last post about BQT I thought you are serious. So I asked their officials about their company registration number. And this is what I found...



I am not sure how to digest these information however I hope someone will do. Since everyone is suggesting you to create a new topic then you should do one.

Anyway after seeing this (below) I have no doubt that you are having problems in your thoughts...

---

Good advice, I was about to say the same LOL

There's too many accounts to connect them all but I have managed to connect some of them.
Looks like the ICO FORUMS signature participants are mostly alt accounts of people from the Philippines.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4925322.msg44368379#msg44368379

There's still half of the thread to review. Maybe I'll check on them tomorrow.

Lauda saved my ass? Should I be that lucky the world would have been much different than what it is.

Jokes aside.

Point 1: You see its hard to be blamed for something if you are truthful. You are right. I joined A signature campaign and it was Jamal who was deceiving everyone including me.
Point 2: I did some stupid thing way back when I was young but I never "scammed" anyone off their money. My intention and my service was always about "earning" my keep. Not like you lot who go around cheating people off their time & money.

You want to divert attention to my history? Go ahead it's all there. Dig and enjoy. See if you can find anything shady.

You got it wrong bro,participants are allowed to use their nexybit referral link in their signature.Hence,on mine you'll find my referral link that ends with /Aveatrex and not the main page.If you check other participants you'll find that it redirects to the homepage.

I will request to everyone, instead of discusse here about BQT & IOU please make a new thread on Scam Accusation. This thread is another topic, please highlight on Scam Accusation. If team unable to give us appropiate answer we will force managers to stope campaign. Although scam isn't moderate by forum but we need stop scammer ourselves.

Crossposting this.

Create a NEW thread. Why are you being dumb about this? Your research could be put to good use if you created a proper thread for it. Learn to use the forum. It's not that hard.

I just said you should create separate thread for discussing about that signature campaign since the OP's intention is to only discuss about ICO forum campaign.We will know about their legitimacy soon,because the deadline for their first week is coming up tomorrow. :D

I was very surprised he signed a message from the 'escrow' wallet. That wallet has a lot of fucking money in it.

Done. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4931035.new#new BQT.io scam accusation investigation

I have placed it in investigations rather than as an open accusation because while there are concerns about the legal status of some of the legal entities involved I am reluctant based on the information that I have to accuse it of being an outright scam.

Please tag lightpulsar07 who is supposed to be the Modrator in ICO forums but turns out is also an alt of Iamsedii.
I have posted the proofs here and even uncovered a face to who this person is:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4913013.msg44428501#msg44428501

You may now add me on facebook lol :)

Thank you for that!  https://archive.is/AJhmm

Presuming that You, Iamsediii and joelsamuya are three different people (not that I am contented with the proofs you provide). Do you concede that you cheated the icolist.guru and icoforums bounties?

You were accused as alts because your addresses were posted by the same person, not only once but multiple times.

Post a video chat here and maybe we can put a stop to this.

Might be better to cover the social media links, anyway is there any incentives if they "cheated" those campaigns? Since theyre the one who's running it in the first place . its like stealing money from your own wallet?

Was it their own money that they used to pay their selves? No? Hmm.. ::)

Now about your proof we our addresses are connected because of this post: https://icolist.guru/d/604-job-full-stack-developer Bigthickrick compiled our posts for so, that everyone can see the links already posted there(i don't know why he did that honestly) and also, i didn't cheated in icolist contest if i did the admin didn't paid me like others who cheated in that contest and also, i am a forum global mod in icoforums.net (hired by the site owner which happens to be the admin of icolist) i can't participate in any contest there..

Idk however was there anyone here in BCT that lost or losing money because of it?

Also the admin have an access on that wallet with like 1.3k eth if I understand it correctly on the other thread about this one. So do you think someone would cheat their own campaign to get few $$ where they're currently holding 300k $$ worth of ethereum?

I also have a gut feeling that you're an alt of someone here.

If you want proof i will let a trusted member (DT member if possible) of this forum to have access my facebook account please send a pm i will give you the account details to see for themselves

What's a DT? Sorry i just dont know what that term means thanks lol. I know theyre someone like a mod .

Default Trust member

BigThickRick repeated only our post and compile all ETH address :) . Just Screenshot all website don't crop :) . I think you are bitter to my earnings ? :)

Don't accuse false information ok? :)

Icoforum.net is promising 10 ETH for 1,000 posts on their new forum? this sounds like a scam if they are not using a reputable escrow.

They are not using any. So far they have paid as promised but this doesn't means it still remains safe who posts there. They don't understand what is forum and how it should work. They are only welcoming spam by paying  such amount and accepting spanners as well.

It could be they've received funding from one or more ICOs. ICOs in general love spam, so they don't care about that. The total ICO market is worth billions of dollars, so it could be a small investment hoping to gain market share.
If that's the case: let them be! I'd be very happy if they take the spammers away from Bitcointalk.

Why their admin is tagged then? I don't think that they deserve a red trust if they pay as promised.

Just because they paid as promised doesn't means that red trust should be removed regarding campaign and merit abuse. Regarding Lauda's feedback, I think it is on its mark from what we have seen in "self - escrow" cases earlier. Lauda's feedback is a warning and if you check it clearly she mentions the condition in which she will remove it. All feedback are on its right spot.

Wonder what's your point...

Hmm. Come to think about it would be nice to see Bitcointalk spam free again. Well they will be back to Bitcointalk as soon as this stops which I think might happen soon.

It looks like the answer for this thread already obtained since they are paying their participants so this thread is going to be locked or just opened for further discussion about this again? ::)

Just updating this thread. I just noticed that there are many transactions now from the wallet of the admin.

Looks like the people in the "suspicious signature campaign" are being paid now. -

That's interesting.

They have also reduced the rates for the second week. And they will reduce again in the third week.

The campaign was confused and they hired a bad manager, however it looks like it wasn't a scam.

The campaign for signature was reduced to increase the rewards on the website instead.
I'm not sure on how much is the decrease for the signature campaign since I'm not even eligible for it yet.

The only thing that I'm sure is that they increased the rewards for posts instead by 100%/
From 0.50 Eth for 100+ posts it became 1 Eth, while for 1000 post which is originally 5 Eth became 10 eth.

Hi there,

For all the people wondering:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.msg44530566#msg44530566 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.msg44530566#msg44530566)

Kind regards,

Yeap, I read from the thread members reporting they have started receiving payment for the first week. Guess they are being paid in batches, off course is a large campaign. So I think delay can be understood. Application has been opened again but rates reduced from the second week. I do not think is a scam for now.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4898414.480

Damn this signature campaign is real with one week high rewards but now the rewards looks like practical.

There are still lot of people need to be paid but I think it will be paid soon because he said all the rewards will be sent in 48 hours after the completion of week 1.

For now the admin of this signature campaign which is @iamsediii is no where to be found and the owner tried to contact him, but all of his social media accounts are deactivated.

I don't see any update on the spreadsheet as well. Although someone claims she received the payment already:


@ Yadstiker , if that is the case then whoever admin or the campaign manager made his exit scam already. Don't say that we didn't warn you guys.

There is an another interesting move here,getting too much excited to know what will be the reaction of this campaign participants after hearing this news.They hired a very bad manager though! ???

I saw that they made an anouncement here : IMPORTANT ANNOUNCE - SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN (https://icoforums.net/topic/14252/important-announce-signature-campaign) by their global moderator.

The owner is trying to fix everything now, I hope all the participants will be paid also. Sedii has an intention to run the 39 Eth sent by the owner to his personal wallet which that amount will be distributed to all of the participants in the signature campaign.

Finally the suspicious campaign ended terribly after the bounty manager ran away with all the money but luckily the owner paying the participants from his own pockets again.

But the good news is Yahoo is going to continue their campaign most trusted manager of our forum! ;)

That's why I was opened this thread. Without trusted escrow joined a campaign is not safe. Amount wasn't not small. I am not sure manager skip or they show excuse to scam people. If they pay participant that's good. If don't want to pay that means it's well planed skip.

Btw , I am not sure yahoo going to manage their signature campaign. Can you give us reference ? Although yahoo going to manage but  I believe he will consider about payment for existing participant. It will be better is be if he agree to manage their campaign. As well as I know he will not manage without escrow ( also he is an trusted escrow ). If manage by Yahoo , I will wish to join too☺

Exactly, and thanks to you we have been calling it day one about escrowing the funds. Perhaps the owner wanted to pay those work hard to promote his website but he made a mistake of handling the bounty to someone who doesn't have a experience in the first place and unfortunately, has exited with the supposed money allotted for the campaign.


Here's what Yahoo said:


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4949157.0

I think the owner must be a very rich person,he is sending the people who applied for the second week like that the people were yelling at their official telegram group such a pity he is just throwing his money all the places,he must had chosen a good bounty management for high investment.

Check this two address:
1.0xe5DBcb81210311Df0999e6a747aADF9235415731
2.0xd86d482f9B0de7D65cbF01F1f48f922CEbD0Ab52

Who applied for week 2 but the owner paid them,I don't how many people he paid,I just checked two random address on the soreadsheet at 324,323.

That turned out ???  ::)
I wonder if there will be further investigation irl with this scam or that guy will face no consequences.
After checking the linked account to this iamsediii guy, all were already deleted and no trace was left behind besides what seems to be his real name which is cedrick acuario
according to their co-admin on icoforums.

Rich or not, he made the mistakes of hiring a scammer that took off 39 ETH. Sadly it was a Pinoy  :'(
And as @jacee has pointed out, he was full dox so its going to be easy if someone(admin/co-admin of icoforums) will go and try and put this scammers behind bar.

What were they expecting when they handed $11,000 to a bounty spammer? If this story is true, for which I haven't seen any evidence yet.

all participants will get their payment i think, dont judge them, they are doing the promise...
and it is true, someone exits with 39 ETH.. but the owner is covering the damage

@OP, it's better to update the title and content about ICOforums. SigCamp has released payments to all eligible participants, so it looks fair and at least restore his reputation.

Proof:

Some members confirmed their payment:

Payment problem for 2nd week not yet solved. They are finding another manager for manage their signature campaign. As far as I know all participant for 2nd week not yet got reward after skip previous manager. Yahoo asked them to release 2nd week payment and they are discussing about manager. I will mark it solve if they clear full payment. Thanks for suggest.

There is no more second week in the ICO forum signature campaign because it looks like Yahoo didn't accept their project,if he will then there will be new participants selection will takes place so for now that campaign ended.
The problem is not with the 2nd week signature campaign,it is about their bounty contest the owner just stopped the contest inbetween without any prior announcement and skipped most of the participants application for the bounty reward just with the comment of bad quality.

Bad management ruins all their reputation made in a week and also it looks like they wasted lot of money.

Looks like that mofo iamsediii  was online today:

Just look at his profile, Last Active:    Today at 06:03:17 PM

That dude is checking and probably laughing his ass off.

See, another reason why I'm not buying the whole "stealing" story. He went online today just to lock their signature campaign thread.
Are we really gonna ignore the fact that his "friends" here won't do anything about it?
Seems to me that there are more to the story than just the:


which btw was already deleted on the original post here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4949157.0;topicseen

May be my doubts become right. I was suspect something will happen like this. Perhaps it was well planed exit. How we can believe manager isn't their team? Just make drama to cheat people. I have seen they had removed all bonus offer from their forum. What it's means? They just try to make popular their forum. Expect they are fail. I think iamsediii ( manager) also their own id. And they made a well planed drama. They play with people's.

@jacee  - I agree, there's probably a bigger picture.

@Coolcryptovator - oh expect that forum to be dead soon. They bring a lot of hype on that forum, but it people still complaining that they haven't got paid then they will be no longer staying on that forum. I hope though that all data they gave to the forum during their registration will not be compromised. If we started to hear members account getting hacked specially those who joined on that forum then there will be just one suspect how their account was hack.

Yes, and by the way he also answered all the DM's to him I saw some screenshots in the telegram group of ICOforum.net (@icoforumsgroup).

Why he replied to DMs or PMs if he is legit then he need to post that on the bounty thread but instead of that he just locked that bounty thread and vanished again,pure scammer's thing. :o

So I take it yahoo won't be managing their signature campaign? Read the post under this one :)

There are just so many things wrong with this disaster! I'm starting to doubt if the bounty spamming "campaign manager" really was trusted with 39 Eth. It wouldn't surprise me if that's all part of the plan not to pay participants.

I don't think the user banned with the name of yahoo is not from our bitcointalk.Because that user banned for the reason of posting porn contents multiple times on their forum since it is against their forum rule.

DO you think the yahoo from our bitcointalk will do this?

So, you even didn't try to investigate the banned yahoo62278
For your info, he is not the real yahoo. He was spamming the forum. That's why he was banned.
Also, please do research a little but more before making a comment.

Cool man , I am not claiming to Yahoo. I was visited Yahoo62278 profile (https://www.icoforums.net/user/yahoo62278) nothing is wrong there. May be it's not Yahoo from bitcointalk due to low posting quality. He can confirm it.
Do you think I have made any bad comment about him  ???

Since I wasn't active on their forum I have no much idea why he baned. I saw his profile didn't find any porn, perhaps deleted by forum. Anyway I believe this is also a part of their drama to keep calm. It's pretty clear he isn't not Yahoo from bitcointalk.

Btw , it's confirm that Yahoo not yet got any work from them.

Yahoo will only accept the position if the devs and staffs will send an amount inside 1month or 2 weeks payment bu it will depend.  I have also checked icoforums,  with the activity bounty most paid are those who post 100+, and some aren't considered as good posters so in other words they are picky,  and i really bet that the admin of that forum has a huge amount of eth.

The owner of the forum already proved that he owns the wallet that have a 1000 eth in it a week ago. He already have paid a lot of spammers in his forum.
Question now is why is he spending that much in a forum? And how come he have all the money in the first place, yet he didn't hired a responsible bounty manager to handle his campaigns and manage his forum in the beginning?

People need to be careful with their accounts in there. I've seen people who uses the same username registered here and then in icoforums. If the forum turns out to be a scam, I'm sure the people behind it can take advatage of users data and may even try to hack their account in bitcointalk.

I do not have nor have I ever made an account on the ICOforum site. I wouldn't even know it existed had I not been contacted by their team to take over their campaign. Since being contacted by them, they made a group chat with me and removed me the next day without saying anything. I spoke with 1 of their team and was told to look for a pm by the admin but none has came.

I assume they either are not interested in a legit manager or have internal stuff going on. Either way I at this time am not working with that team.

LMAO, this is one of the worst campaign we had this year.

I guess someone needs to create a thread before the end of the year to see which one will be voted.  ;D
For 2017, this is the worst campaign I have seen: WELCOME TO C BOUNTY (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2494912)

I assumed some internal rift or they are not that really interested on hiring you and might get someone to take the job within their circles again. Oh well, let the drama continue.  ;D

Are you in your senses or just posting shit just to complete your posts for Bustadice Campaign ?  All the participants of the ICOForums signature campaigns are paid and it is one of the biggest ever campaign although it was for one week initially. Their Internal Site Campaign is also being paid with 0.5 to 1 ETH to each member.

The problem with you here is that few of you here are unable to believe that their beloved Manager is not being accepted there and rest of the DT / High repute Members (who love false red painting)  feeling MAD as how can those people earning good again whom  few  DT members have painted them wrong RED paints for their own benefits.  ;D ;D

Finally before writing posts for your campaign, please research,  rather than just shit posting.

Don't know what they want or what they are going to do.
I can confirm that I have received 1.02 ETH for posting in their forum.
Even, in some case, they have paid twice, sometimes 3x too. I know that's because of less experienced person. The owner @mos is a good person as far as I observed. He/she don't want to scam people. He/she is trying to pay each member who posted more than 100 posts. You can check the rewarding thread there.

Can you re-ead your comment and still maintain the trash you are saying here? You are struggling to farm  unnecessary panic and that won't scale through.Do you think the site would need anyone registering on the site before hacking their accounts when they can afford to visit BTT and copy them?

Except you are suggesting that users used the same password on that site as they used here. Using the same username isn't same as using the same password.


Yes, I quite agree that there were a hell of spammers recruited for the ICOforums site but what about saying it was the highest paying bounty in a short while? I am sure you would've abandoned ships to join in if the campaign had continued longer. I hope they get their acts right and up running again.

With the payment confirmation coming in from many angles on different threads plus their payments prove to different categories of participants for the one week, can we really classify the icoforum as scamming participants? For me, I'm not convinced so because payments were confirmed by those eligible to get rewards.

Perhaps, there are other issues that are yet uncleared, fingers crossed.


Could they be looking for a "low" rank member of BTT because of lower charge....or they are looking for someone within there confine of friends?

This is also a possibility. We are just going to watch and see if they will eventually disappear or come up with what they have up there sleeve.

I'd call it incompetent for sure, and probably shady too.

They - alledgedly - lost $11000 that way already, so far looking for a cheap campaign manager didn't work out for them.

I'm just curious to see how this develops. It's not the typical scam, they obviously have some money to burn.

It looks like the owner found new campaign managers and moderators for his forum,I am tracking them on their official telegram,as per their statement they are going to pay the unpaid dues for their activity contest,signature campaigns and ICO reviews in 48 hours.

Piece of shit , go pay my review on icolistguru. And see there tha other people are still wait for 15-20 unpaid reviews.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4845165.new#new

You are right . He done the same on icolistguru forum . Read my scamm accusation here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4845165.new#new

Then why are the signature campaign suddenly stop?

Tell shitposting to ICOforums managers who are willing to pay those shitposters. You should be their campaign manager because you can tell what shitpostng is. Oh sorry, you have been painted with red trust so I'm assuming that ICOforums will not hire you.  ;)

I don't care who the hell they going to get as bounty manager, but with the messed they created, still one of the worst campaign.

Just go and see the last post, people are still claiming that they haven't received any payment yet.

Sorry, but what I experienced, was a correctly generously paid signature campaign and the duration of the  "contests" on their forum was not defined. It was from beginning on not clear, how long the posts would be paid. So it was everybody's own risk to post without all needed informations. Although they seem on the way to pay the posters.

the scammer sedi finally withdrew his eth.

The lose is lose for forever there is no way to track him now but the whole problem is with the owner of that forum he didn't hire a manager just a bounty hunter who looks always for money in that forum.I don't know how he trusted by that owner. ::)

Many member's still advertising icoforum.net on bitcointalk. What about them ? Thread has been locked for signature so why people's advertising? I can't get the point. They are doing free advertising or they are team of forum? Confuse  ???

Most of them are just inactive and cant find a new signature campaign to apply with  . thats the main reason why they arent removing their existing sigs .

Laziness is also the other reason.

He has left traces where he sent the ETH!

Another Filipino after the Iamsedii steal their funds,this shows how innocent that owner of the forum he even can get best managers of our forum for their work but he still hiring the bounty hunters for the administration level of a crypto currency forum.

Afaik, all the signature participants and contestants were paid, some gets double too due to lack of management.
Did anyone investigate more on it? I am wondering what was the intention of the owner.
1. He spent quite a lot of money.
2. Paid all the participants.

If owner's intention was to build a forum, why did he disable access on the forum? I am quite sure there is a secret intention on this. Otherwise, he would not paid everyone.
I am getting interested on this more.

The owner banned me for no reason in ICO forum,after that I created thread about this in their META section but no response at all such poor management.

He maybe wanted to built a forum like bitcointalk on his own but he did with wrong team and wrong time when the market is in huge bearish trend.But don't know the reason why the forum doesn't work anymore maybe the Owner lost his interest on cryptos? ???
