Post by: cryptopediabd on October 05, 2020, 04:03:34 PM
What Happened: Deficoin.eu ico fake team members & Whitepaper is plagiarized.

The team members pic collected from two websites. They simply created new LinkedIn account with only 1 connection for both team members & the profile pics is edited. Check sources links. I just upload whitepaper pics from 1 page. Their is also various sources whitepaper was copied.

Additional Notes: Bounty campaign is managing by higher ranker bitcointalk manager, not official member. It's a big mistakes for him that he didn't check whitepaper & team members. Will i give him negative or neutral trust . What do u think? Just make you are reporting scam to their channel @DeFiCoinChat as well as group @DeFiCoinCommunity. Thanks cheers.

Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.           

I can feel how much time you spent after this project to reveal their fake team and plagiarized whitepaper. Absolutely you have done a good job and i feel so glad to see that forum newbies like you are busting scammers like experienced scam busters.

OP should open a Type 1 flag and use the topic as reference. I will gladly support it and so will the rest of the members who follow this section.

Do this on the account who posted the bounty. That "bounty manager" needs to learn how to be a manager first. This shows the dire levels of unprofessionalism among some of the bounty managers who plague the forum with such projects promotions unlike well known ones who are more diligent.

Such a manager is answerable for their actions, so make sure you PM them about it as well and to respond here with full details as to how the scam project owners contacted them and what else they know about the project's modus.

Yep you r r8. Just to make couple of 100 dollars, they don't care what is the project is all about. Nope, Scammer couldn't make main source of income untill we are here as well as if newbies doesn't have emotions to participate in bounties.

Thanks mate. By the way it didn't take too long only 1 hour.

Thanks 4 the info. But  what is type 1 flag? If i create flag on this bounty post, i need visit bounty manager account & create flag bcs he published this campaign not any fake member. Until now i simply reported bounty post to the moderator.

Here is the short explanation of Flag system  Trust flags (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153344.0).

Regarding how to create flag, simply click on @rainingbitcoins Trust setting, and do as follows. Don't forget to click on "Negative", and use this topic as the reference link.

I would personally tag the user first (as a matter of fact I just did) and send him message, warning that if he doesn't stop with the bounty campaign, he will be flagged as well, since he is probably just hired to make this Bounty (that's not an excuse though, he should have know better and check it out properly before accepting) but this is up to you.

Good job by the way. Let's just hope he close this thread as soon as possible so mindless bounty hunters stop promoting this scam.

I am guilty and not thorough in understanding them.

PLEASE REDTRUST ME!!! because this is indeed my fatal mistake, and I admit it.

I know the system. I was confused about "type" words.

I think u should remove negative trust from his account.

You made a fabulous decision mate, just like a experience manager. Check the project carefully before bounty submission. Hope we all find good bounty project's in the future from u as well. You can also send all the money u get from this campaign.

First of all, good to hear that you reacted fast, deleted the bounty content, locked the topic and admitted your mistake. I hope that you will be more careful before accepting either Bounty campaign hosting or ANN creation, especially if it's DeFi based, as in 99% of the caes those are just pure scams. If you don;t know how to properly check whether project is legit or not, you can always contact me or any other scam buster active on this board and I am sure that they will help you  ( I know i will check it out if asked, as several others asked me for same thing).

Regarding the tag, I am changing it to neutral for now, since you did the right thing in this case. Let's hope you learned the lesson.

Ah I see. Yeah in this case Type 1 is appropriate. If you were damaged financially by someone, then you use Flag 2/3.

I will not leave negative feedback on your account, but I think that in the next few times you will need to pay attention to this. there are people who are participating in this bounty that has twitter accounts with more than 1700 followers, this means that these scammers are getting a lot of attention

I think creating a flag will be exaggerated because he already locked the thread as he is not the owner of the project is only the manager I think we should be more understanding and not leave negative feedback and not create a flag

yes, in this case, rainingbitcoins does not deserve a negative tag here. he did everything expected after the fraud was discovered.
He made mistake, but it is an integral part of the job. this experience can help him in his future job choices. I guess high reputed managers here also made a similar omission accepting a critical job offer but it made them more quality.

We are all just human and everyone is entitled to make mistakes.
And he acted appropriately when he found such oversight, so I won't say also that he's at fault here.
This will be his lesson when it comes to accepting projects. And will give him insights on how to be a reputable bounty manager.

Yes they create a BTT account and arrange bounties without verify. Even Bounty Detective is a very big bounty community they not verify as well. ClipX Project collect our KYC documents giving nothing. They leave from all social media and Website
