1941  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Betnomi 0.16090?? BTC no pay, bet history missing, geoblocked post withdrawal on: March 10, 2023, 04:47:20 PM
I posted a video and a comment that made it pretty clear. There is no complete history. I wrote down all bet IDs at time of placing that I had to input one by one to find the missing results. But if I didn't keep records, then what? You wanna settle your bets like that?

I'm gonna need an apology from Betnomi to close it.

If I have to spell it out for you, the fact that you can "manually" search your betting history by inputting their ID one by one prove that Betnomi did not delete your history like you initially suspected, your problem is simply like what happened to the user I quoted anonymously above, as well as requoted below:

But some issues I've identified so far:


We can't visit beyone the first page, when selecting page 2 etc., no bets are displayed:



betnomi, if we have to go to the literal way, would you please take the higher ground and look into this bug in his account? I believe you have his username already. Can you fix it so he can see all of his betting history shown in pages like every other user of your platform, thus invalidate this minor claim of unfairness with your platform?

I believe with the hours I pour just to wrote a chronological order of your posts and complaints and screenshots scattered across two threads would be enough to prove that I am not what you think and said I am, the whole ""I am not biased, but..." shtick dropped pretty fast". At least for me, if someone did much effort just to be sure he understood or at the very least get a better picture of a situation, I wouldn't think he's biased. So, if you're agreed with me and I've "proven myself" to you that I am neutral and would say someone is wrong when they are --not that I cared what your opinion about me, TBH-- I think I am entitled to say Betnomi has a point here.

The very least you can do to the community is to clarify what actually happens. Did you --after logging into your account through VPN-- finds your bet history and it's all just a misunderstanding? If it is, it would be in everybody's interest that you acknowledged this and clarifies. Otherwise, the negative feedback given to you by icopress has its ground, that you created FUD against betnomi.

And second, I think it would be best and in everybody's interest --kinda sure about it-- that you both part ways.

Third, still connected with my point two paragraph above, it'll be very nice if you lock this thread and edit your title to "SOLVED", given... it is. solved.

Fourth and last, I think by this issue closed, there were no currently active accusation against Betnomi. Is there? All three were cleared. I appreciate Betnomi's representative, ehm... whoever "the guy behind this post" on betnomi's account, that would see all of the cases to their ends.

Once again, OP, lock it and mark it as solved.

Let's get back on topic, does anyone know what happened with c0ldbrewz and his Monero payment from Saxydev?

Thank you for bringing us back on track, I've been curious as well. Last we know was that Saxydev entrusted all the payment proofs to someone he trust via PM to preserve his identity, despite FatFork explained several times that there will be no way to trace his ID throught the said proofs

wow. really wow. sent pm to someone i trust from the forum with the details, he can confirm or not, depends if he wants to get involved in this thread. up to him. locally i don't store the key any more, but i had the intuition to restore the drive to get it back a few weeks ago and got it saved.

Unfortunately, this "someone" left us on a quite gargantuan range. IMO, it could be anyone, literally anyone, from someone that he found by opening "search members" page on this forum, closed his eyes and type randomly, and deemed the result shown as that "someone" he trust, to someone whose last activity was before covid and has long left the forum, to a legit trusted members on this forum who still active. It would really helpful if Saxydev at least told us the username, so we can check if they're still an active user or not --with the decision on the interest of getting involved on this case by verifying it is still on the hand of the user, which we shall respect-- unfortunately he didn't hand us that info.

Given that Saxydev online activity on this forum getting less and less by time, the best way we can get an update for this case is by asking OP if he has recently refreshed or looked at his wallet and happen to see the said payment.

OP, c0ldbrewz, can you update us on something from your side?

-

The account isn't blocked, the country is. Like I said, signed up with UK native IP. Betnomi's screenshot has £ signs. Address is UK. Accepted proof of address UK. Accepted ID UK. "Restricted jurisdiction" after my documents were accepted.

https://imgur.com/a/ksj34GJ

Anyway, didn't really want to use a VPN but have no way to prove it otherwise. This is logging in today. I have 3 pages of bets, and only the first one is available. Change to wins, only first is available. Country is no longer listed in basic. What would I get out of lying, I'd rather sort it and move on to this source of funds thing. I uploaded a stocks statement so if I can get confirmation of the bets I can't see, then we can settle up. But this shouldn't have been so difficult.

https://streamable.com/9wpvnc

Edit: source of funds approved, so just one more thing...

If I have to guess, I think the scenario was that by "accepted" --or "approved" according to the screenshot" was that the third party verification team hired by Betnomi --Veriff, if I am not mistaken-- accepted the documents and verified its legitimacy, thus approved. They later informed Betnomi that the account is verified with some minimal detail mentioning your nationality, and/or got notified by their very own system when you select your country on their KYC process. That is why you got banned although you passed Veriff KYC, because their ToS under "account" tab stated UK is one of their restricted regions.

All thing considered, I think further discussing this matter is quite futile, given you can access the account through VPN to give us the evidences.

For this matter, though, I'll recommend you to do what BitcoinGirl.Club said,

May be you can send them a PM telling the new finding of the bug which removed everything from your account. Tell them to response here. I don't want to bother them PMing again but I will wait for their response in the thread. I have subscribed to the notification so anything posted is notifying me on my email.

I would like to think that they're not deliberately did this, given another user also experienced this issue on the earlier days. I'll deliberately remove the entire link to the said quote so that we won't disturb the poster's peace by getting "invited" through notification that their name was being mentioned here

As a commitment to be stay on topic and focus the discussion in one thread, I'll move your reply to me here and replied,


I hope this could be the last time I have to reply you here for the issue you currently have.

Nope. Betnomi can't be bothered to respond to scam thread so I'll just post here. In general, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419897.msg61267416#msg61267416 looks familiar. Passed veriff, like me, but Betnomi reject advance documents. Course it's "multiple accounts" excuse to the rescue. And there is the other recent two scam threads, which don't go away just because Betnomi backtracked and paid. All initially fraudulent, what a coincidence. Actually every accusation against Betnomi is somehow fraudulent, they must have the worst luck in the world.

Anyway, looks like the "I'm not biased but..." shtick dropped pretty fast.

First, I'd like to address the "in general" case that you provided in response to my request, you do aware that it's an... unfortunate first choice of link, right? The case you provide to give a better ground to your statement that Betnomi in general lied about KYC did not work in your favor, the case was deemed by the forum as a retaliatory from someone with 9 accounts who got caught. The request for KYC is clearly justified for this case, as Betnomi had explained, I've quoted their stance on their ANN, but allow me to quote another one they explained from older day,

We do have a KYC procedure in place, but there are triggered under specific conditions such as fraud, suspected under age user etc
But as a general rule, not something you should be concerned about unless you are engaging in activities that violate our ToS.
[...]

Second, I think I'll need a little bit more context here as I am quite confused.

Basically the proof of bet history that OP claimed that betnomi deleted was these ones? At least some of them, as I understand a screenshot that size won't be able to fit OP's entire betting history.

And Betnomi's claim that OP manipulated his betting history, saying that he deliberately shows an empty page by utilizing a date filter is because on this screen recording, dated 9 October as shown on his screen shows no history.

To better understand this case, I dared a mini aneurysm by re-reading the pages on their ANN thread again, this time equipped with my notebook to write important timeline in dates, the event, and the post ID number --don't anyone dare asked me how long it took me to finish it this time-- and I have to say Poika5 brought one interesting point that I initially missed but now became clear as I have a mapped timeline.

I'd like to say that the possibility is there, that OP did not manipulate the data and that blank history is due to the system maintenance. OP had stated long before this thread was made that he hadn't had any access to his page for seven weeks, dated 14 November forum time. Seven weeks prior to the date would match the time on the screen recording provided by OP that they have no access, and since OP was blocked two days later, on the 16th, he can't provide a better screen recording or know whether his betting history has restored or not.

https://imgur.com/a/D46UDif

It's been like that for 7 weeks, don't think some minutes is gonna help.

Don't worry, they've blocked access to the account which is one way of fixing it I guess. So that's voiding winners, when that don't work delaying the payout, and then locking the account. Betnomi would struggle with the Intertoto Cup, let alone the World Cup.

So, IMO, there could be a huge chance of misunderstanding here, both sides are wrong and right at the same time. No one erased betting history or manipulating through a date filter as it simply was under maintenance during the time the evidence was made.

If we still insist on who's right and who's wrong, may I suggest the easiest way to tackle this matter --which... wasn't OP's main point of accusation and counter-accusation, actually-- by allowing OP access to his account for a brief moment, so he can do another screen record to show that --whether-- his entire betting history is there or not.

Since Betnomi can restrict OP's attempt to withdraw his fund --let's suppose he tried to-- by rejecting it or even temporarily freezing it by voiding all his balance, OP basically can't do anything other than proving the betting history. I can't see any harm in that, unless someone else can show me one or two flaws in my logic?

It's the easiest way to tackle this minor issue so we can move on to the main topic of the accusation, as well as answered BitcoinGirl.Club's concern of manipulation as I think a video recording of screen would be harder to manipulate.

It came to my awareness that OP acessed the site through his phone, he can activate this "show taps" feature [OP has to enabled developer mode to access this feature, though] so we can see clearly that he select dates and any other taps made during the screen recording.

Question is, would both party meet in the middle and agree to this, i.e. Betnomi to grant a temporary access to OP so he can clear Betnomi's name --or prove his accusation to be correct-- of deleting bets, and OP agreed to record his attempt to retrieve the betting history.

Hard to compare any legit casino which at least tries to preserve some reputation with 1xbit. It would not be fair, in my opinion to equate them.
It would have been better if they stayed in the forum, a casino that does not have anything to fear from their users is always welcome around this forum or any other place on the internet where people like to discuss gambling.  

As far as I know, it may have something to do with some accusations about their token or their DAO. I may be wrong, though.

I can't find the accusation you're talking about, unless you're referring to this case, OWL Coin - Malware in the wallet [DO NOT DOWNLOAD]!!! which was kinda solved with someone with malicious intent deliberately re-create an ANN with a different wallet link containing a virus, and not the same project --far as I know-- as that accusation was open and shut in 2019 while owl.games thread just started by late 2021.

However, I am interested to know more so I can hopefully better understand whether their decision to stop pause their response here is justified or not
1948  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🦊 Betnomi.com | Sportsbook & Casino 🎲⚽ on: March 07, 2023, 12:01:58 AM
Nope, asking in general. KYC is required in all circumstances 5k or over deposit according to the AML. But a "legitimate win" and 5k deposit KYC no longer required?? So which is it? Their terms are lying or they lie on here? Do you even know?

If a player deposits cryptocurrency equal to $5000 (five thousand dollars) and more, an SOW (source of wealth) must be established.
https://betnomi.com/aml

Not seeing the gamble fairly or fraudulent activity bit in that quote above either, can you show me?

This, IMO, is leaning towards one of the point on your case instead of "in general". Perhaps you can show us a case other than yours so the statement "in general" will have a better ground?

As for your account, was flagged and they initially asked for a simple KYC, which you failed to successfully pass, which worsen their suspicion towards you and escalated the KYC to the advance level. This also already explained on the post I quoted from Betnomi above,

[...]
The KYC process at Betnomi is in three stages.

  • Basic - Basic information
  • Intermediate - Proof of identity and address
  • Advance - Source of funds

The reason for these separate steps is to preserve users' privacy and not be unnecessarily invasive and intrusive into our user's privacy.
In most cases, users are required to complete just basic KYC. For intermediate and advanced - this is subjective and a judgment call that our team rarely makes on an individual basis. If we detect suspicious or fraudulent activity based on its nature and extent, we request the appropriate level of KYC.

If there is a legitimate win, you can be sure you will not be required to go through any such process. For example, [...]

If you'd like to continue discussing about this matter, I encourage you to please consider moving the discussion to the designated thread; your scam accusation. It'll help a lot of people overseeing your case to understand the developments of it, as I've said numerous times on different occasions, it's quite hard to follow a case if the updates and exchanges of information are made through several different threads --plus, I am not in the mood of anyone reporting my posts which only aimed to address people's questions here as something OOT and got deleted, again.

I hope this could be the last time I have to reply you here for the issue you currently have. As an additional note, I'll add something I've been wanting to say on your thread tomorrow in regards to the last posts made on the said thread, but itll have to wait as its been way past my bed time.

Hi, it came to my awareness that you've been enthusiastically posting against betnomi for the past three months, and I tracked your initial complaint against them was on 25 August. However, I can't find your formal complaint. Have you raised any accusation with evidences against them? I'd be more than happy to follow the development of the thread and the case if you make one.

Hmm... My previous post was deleted by mod. Been a while since I unintentionally posted something that's not on forum standard. Or maybe the content is a bit... controversial. My apology, mods. Please allow me to rephrase them.

Dont try to turn the tables. mods are deleting messages if you write negative about betnomi. The forum is full about complaints and scam accustions against betnomi, betnomi does not pay winners and its a scam site.

Uhh... no, the post got deleted because someone reported it as an out of topic post, I asked the mods. If you want to ask who reported it, you're more than welcome to ask it yourself to the mods. I was contempt with the explanation as I can quite agree, my previous post did a little bit OOT, given this thread is about a gambling announcement and discussion and I was talking about a scam accusation and your old thread, which... is why, I urged you to create your own thread, complete with your evidences, so everyone can see and discuss it in a more on-topic manner. I wonder, why haven't you?



Betnomi is scamming people from the beginning. They paid Yahoo manager a lot of money to defend this scam site. People on this forum do everything for money. Not only betnomi.com
Betnomi does not pay out big players. They even extortioned a person with posting her passport.
This trash site only pay if you win 100$ or similar. If you win to much, Betnomi write that you violated the rules and they confiscated your money. But, first they will delay the withdrawal for some weeks or months, hoping the user will cancel his request and gamble it all. I am an experienced gambler, the last websites where you should not play are 1xbit and Betnomi.

The master license holder in Curacao even terminated the license of Betnomi since Betnomi frauded and there were to many complaints.
If you consider to bet, do NOT deposit on Betnomi, its outright scam and their trust rating is bought by some DT members which should not even have this status.

The auld unintentionally tried to discredit someone. These mistakes happen. While you're waiting for Bislom, maybe you can ask Betnomi about why they lied about KYC? Since you're neutral (...Wink), I'm sure you will also ask questions of them. KYC is fine, but why lie about it?

We have been here for at least 8 months. We never asked anyone for KYC and on multiple occasions clarified our position on the issue but still, a handful of people (the same people) repeatedly throw around the same stuff even though it has been addressed several times. Our understanding is, there are some people who have just one goal, to spread false information promote distrust and take down Casino projects/ companies. Whatever it maybe, we wish them good luck. To anyone who has a legitimate concern about the KYC issue, take our words for it. You will not be required to provide any such documents.

Thank you.

1 day later contradicting themselves, lol. Anyone = average I guess?


This is a good thing. If the terms are changed and it states that no KYC is required for cryptocurrency transactions, then that will certainly remove a lot of question marks and doubts from players.

We understand the urge/ need to have the KYC clause removed from our terms and conditions but unfortunately, for legal and regulatory reasons, we are unable to do that at this time. All we can do is, make clear we will not require an average player to under go the KYC process. Unless we determine the player to be a fraudulent player or reasons outside our purview. Other than these circumstances,  KYC should not be of a concern as a crypto user on our platform. If this is not enough, we are not sure what will be.

znbdnv, yesterday I received your letter in which you asked me to expedite the withdrawal process as much as possible and I told you that I would do my best. Nevertheless, without waiting for an answer, you immediately went here. Please be patient, I have just been told that your case is currently under review.

Given the large sum, they might require you to do a full KYC, did you already do this? Try to also contact the Betnomi representative that is active on this forum by PM.
Betnomi does not require KYC regardless of the withdrawal or deposit amount.

So, you had this problem couple of times? I haven’t used betnomi. Created an account. But this doesn’t sound good to be honest. Why would they make such delay on withdrawal? Is this something like the amount is higher? Can you share how much was your withdrawal on March?
Sir, the user answered this earlier.

I previously played Betnomi in March and after winning I received a payout in less than an hour (the amount was about $30,000). The current situation upsets me a bit.

Calling steam chasing cheating, or that they have "more events than any other books" when all Betconstruct books have those lines. Like these are also factually lies, you can look them up. And rejecting KYC documents equalling "refusing to comply" is either semantic games or poor command of English which seems to be a running theme.

With over 250k monthly Sports events, there is a lot of room for fraudulent users to exploit the product by doing,
Arbitrage Betting, Sure Betting, Late Betting, Fixed Match Betting, Betting on dropping Odds (Odds Manipulation), and many more

This is why on any day, anytime, our Sportsbook has multiple times the number of events on any other sportsbook.

In such cases, of course, depending on the nature of the abuse, we request KYC and other things and pay them out to ensure they are not back doing the same thing , and this mostly resolves the problem. However, some of these users refuse to comply and try to file reports and use pressure tactics to get away with their fraud.


"The auld" was explained above.

"The question to betnomi", I believe you asked this for the sake that it's being related to your own case? I am not really sure I get why you misunderstood their meaning, eventhough the posts you quoted above had explained quite well, they will not ask KYC as long as you gamble fairly. KYC would be required upon the findings of fraudulent activity. I urged you to re-read your thread, they've explained their KYC process, or just read below,

[...]

We will take this opportunity to clarify our position on KYC and other user verification processes. We are not a traditional casino, but a crypto casino - The concept and principles behind crypto is something we strongly believe in. Although there are some regulatory and compliance requirements, we walk a fine line between complying with the laws and preserving users' privacy and anonymity as much as possible.

The KYC process at Betnomi is in three stages.

  • Basic - Basic information
  • Intermediate - Proof of identity and address
  • Advance - Source of funds

The reason for these separate steps is to preserve users' privacy and not be unnecessarily invasive and intrusive into our user's privacy.

If we detect suspicious or fraudulent activity based on its nature and extent, we request the appropriate level of KYC.

If there is a legitimate win, you can be sure you will not be required to go through any such process. For example, we recently paid out 400k ETH win on Baccarat the withdrawal was processed without any KYC requirement. Several users have successfully withdrawn large amounts without KYC, but you can be sure we will enforce KYC and other fraud-preventative measures when we detect such cases.

I have been thinking that maybe they are doing this to avoid the trolls, but if that is the case this is a huge mistake as many other casinos also receive a lot of false accusations and yet they do not give up on the forum because of them.

I do think that leaving the forum may not damage the overall reputation of the owl.games site but definitely the gamblers from bitcointalk will certainly not like this act and may refrain from playing at this site.

You do aware that your post above directly contradict each other, right? Leaving the forum will not damage overall reputation of their platform would indicate, all things considered, no one would mind with this decision and everything would work just like how it was.

Edit: ahh, almost forgot, the purpose of this thread is to ask whether it's fair to leave both of the account --owned by the same person-- negative feedback for this issue, or would that be seen as unfair, given some more reputable BM also has one or two questionable projects which passed their screening and leave a dent on cryptocommunity, and they didn't tagged. So, does a negative feedback deemed appropriate or should it be just a slap on their hand with a ruler?

I think we should start here from the beginning.
assuming that the manager is new to the business and just wants to get references and build a portfolio. That's why he accepts every project (although I don't think the word project is adequate here) without any verification. if there is some profit, great, if not, it doesn't matter. Certainly, the quality of the campaign itself is of no interest to anyone.

It is quite possible that at this moment such managers do not see the big picture of the whole business, so I think that we should at least try to educate them. before any negative tagging, he should be invited here for a discussion and he should express his position on all this. maybe he will adopt some constructive suggestions and learn something new that would definitely affect the quality of his work.
every beginner should at least try to help them better understand how this community works and the responsibility they bear when they promote something.

of course, if he just ignores this kind of attempt to help, it only confirms my position that you quoted. They don't care.

Interesting insight, I could agree and see a reason when someone new to a field and tried to build their portfolio, there could be a tendency of being myopic, where they only focused on "the now". After all, expertise is something that comes with experience. Although, I have to rebut that there is a line --be it fine or thin-- between being careless and couldn't-care-less on reputation building.

Nonetheless, I've messaged ahmim about this thread, hopefully they would engage on this discussion once they're online.

This can happen even to the more experienced bounty managers but what's important though is what they do after they find out that project is scam, and how many times that happened to them. Once or twice can happen to anyone, but if every 2nd bounty turns out to be a scam, then its obvious that manager doesn't really care what he is promoting.

So, does a negative feedback deemed appropriate or should it be just a slap on their hand with a ruler?
I don't think that it would be wrong to leave negative feedbacks on those two accounts. They obviously don't care whether project is scam or not because if they did, they would lock bounty campaign threads immediately after finding out that projects they are promoting have serious red flags.

They --and by "they" I'm referring to one person with two different account-- have four, not only two projects with similar red flags. I think it is quite agreeable that they don't care, like you said.

Regarding their reaction towards a warning, that's a bit complicated, aibon as the OP of Lamina accusation thread had warned them on the 28th and they locked the thread after. But if we inspect closely, the campaign has ended on 26th, so it doesn't really matter whether the BM locked it or not.

Thank you for the input, though, I'll leave a negative feedback with regards to their campaign quality.



Edit:

Jay-suss, I think I really need my sleep, my brain started to working slower and slower, I forgot that I want to add one interesting thing I found upon slipping into their tg channel.



I've never joined a TG campaign --at least not that I can remember-- so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Is it? Wouldn't it mean the participant spamming and unethically talking and promoting their projects on other projects?



Edit 2: for aibon's reply below mine.

Upon leaving negative feedback on Crypto_Dotar I just realized that someone has raised a type-1 flag against them, and it's currently active. I wonder if it's necessary to raise similar flag for ahmim. I have to say that your argument has its merit, and a part of my logic agreed with it, but the very last part of my opening post prevail on the battle with myself for the ethic on raising flag; which is why I also still abstained from Crypto_Dotar's flag.

I think I'll take it to sleep and think about it more thoroughly tomorrow with a clearer head whether it's appropriate to raise a type-1 flag against ahmim with consideration of the long term sake of newbie investors... if no one had raised it already during my beauty sleep.

Update: After I contacted the bounty manager, he closed the bounty topic, and I hope he will not repeat his mistake again and give himself enough time to do his own research before promoting projects he does not know. [The funny thing is that he hasn't been paid for his work yet, Really unprofessional manager]

[...]

Umm... I think you've just got bamboozled by them. Yes, they locked the bounty thread and it's no longer available for any post for proof of posting on TG or twitter, but I think that's more because the campaign has already ended, so the BM essentially has nothing to lose. His job is done, he locked the thread as "a show of remorse" while there's actually not much difference whether he left it open or closed.

Good catch, mate Smiley

If we take a look at the "Contact Us page" on the EPNOC scam website, we will find this address "EPNOC TECHNOLOGIES, F-325 SECTOR -63 NOIDA-201305, INDIA" as their project headquarters.

If we search for this address in Google Maps!, we will find that the address is false, and there are no results about their headquarters.

[...]

Ahh yes, thanks for reminding me about this point, that part was left out forgotten and unmentioned. I actually did the investigation about Epnoc in "installment", little by little when I have free time and that address is one of the aspect I DDed on the earlier phase [ignore the other screenshots, they were materials for other investigation, LOL].





So, continuing what aibon reminded me, I did a stroll on "street view" on my earlier investigation on Maps and with a little effort finally meet their "neighbor", F324, Sector 63, Noida


So, their address, F325, would be one of the three in front of them, either the dead center, the one on the left, or the one on the right. Problem is... here's the three of them, which... doesn't evoke any confidence for the platform.

Suspect's Profile Link: N/A [They don't have an official account here, far as I know. However, we have...]
BM's Profile Link: ahmim
His account already has been red-tagged for bounty cheating. Since the guy is a bounty manager only, I guess it's better for someone just simply sends a PM to ask him to investigate before launching a bounty. This is an obvious scam but the bounty manager has nothing to do unless spending a few hours. There are plenty of such bounty managers on the forum who never would do due diligence before launching a bounty.

Ahh, I was just finished posting another thread on reputation board with a topic still related to this accusation. You might want to give it a read. This is not the first scam project they promoted.

Foreword: I think this is the first time I write on this board. I'm not really sure if my topic would suits better on Reputation or on Scam Accusation, but since one may argue that the person in question did not directly scamming the community and instead just facilitating the scam projects through a very careless DD --if they did any-- for the campaign they managed, I think Reputation fits better.



Flag type-1 against Crypto Bountyes: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3185



I've put this case on my plate for a few weeks since the first case against ahmim raised, took a glance at their post history, and frowned upon the findings of the bounty campaigns they managed. Couple that with a negative feedback given for bounty abuse [though at that time I didn't look at the reference link], I commited myself to give their projects a sweep when I have time at hand.

Today's the day.

So, first thing first, ahmim and Crypto_Dotar was found to be a connected bounty abuser by Stalker22 back in 4th of February 2023.

Now, these are the campaign started by each of them, where most of them are followed by red flags found by several users:

ahmim:
Bounty thread:

Crypto_Dotar:
Bounty thread: [Open] Millennia Token Community Bounty | 350$ Usdt | 1 Week, found to be plagiarizing whitepaper and fake team profile, by albon

The interesting thing about those projects is that all of them didn't have a representative here, didn't create an account or ANN, simply doing bounty --which I think will not be paid at the end of the period-- which I believe was done deliberately  in order to make their exit-scam easier, with the bounty's purpose is like what examplens said,

[...]
They are obviously not interested in this forum, except to collect more retweets and sharing of their story.

a.k.a., more exposure to the clueless to invest on those hit-and-run projects. I wouldn't even be surprised if all of them were ran by the same team --if not one person-- who deliberately choose these this bounty-manager-wanna-be with poor reputation, knowing they won't bother doing any background check.



Edit: ahh, almost forgot, the purpose of this thread is to ask whether it's fair to leave both of the account --owned by the same person-- negative feedback for this issue, or would that be seen as unfair, given some more reputable BM also has one or two questionable projects which passed their screening and leave a dent on cryptocommunity, and they didn't tagged. So, does a negative feedback deemed appropriate or should it be just a slap on their hand with a ruler?



Edit 2 [13 June 2023]:
Another of their alt, Crypto Bountyes come with another questionable project, Plagiarized Whitepaper - MetaSystem Token
