661  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ▁ ▂ ▄ ▅ ▆ Cloudmining 101 (ponzi risk assessment) ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂ ▁ on: July 16, 2016, 04:36:08 AM
Hi,

Thanks for the updated table. I have been following your post for a while, but have only created an account today as I have pretty good evidence against a fraudulent cloud service named CloudMint.io.

I spent many hours this past month attempting to evaluate the honesty of this service and think I have enough to elaborate now. I'm a social networks professional and hope I can bring my 2 cents in fighting these scammers.

I've not read anything about CoinMint on the forum so far, nor have I found much  evidence on google about them. I'm not buying anything from them, have a look and keep reading as I make my point:
https://www.coinmint.io/

The website contains data which doesn't look serious (google image'd their "about us" pictures and found no other place where these are used), moreover, the "us" are either fake people or can be linked to an almost blank CEO account. Keep reading.

The only "about us" you might consider remembering is "James Leary". And while you're at it, ask their "live chat": "are you a robot?" and remember the answer.

Long story made short: In my opinion "they" are a fraud based on the following assessment:
1 +2 +3 + 4 + 6 + 7

Evaluating #6 (anonymous, hidden operators) has led me to some intriguing "findings" about the owner / possible owner.  Here are fishy things you may like to consider.

6: anonymous operators

Ask whois.net about www.coinmint.io and here is what you get:

Domain : coinmint.io
Status : Client Updt+Delt Lock
Expiry : 2017-03-01

NS 1 : kay.ns.cloudflare.com
NS 2 : sam.ns.cloudflare.com

Owner Name : Prieur Leary
Owner OrgName : Coinmint Corporation
Owner Addr : 1201 ORANGE ST!Unit 304
Owner Addr : Wilmington
Owner Addr : Delaware
Owner Addr : US

Then, I've initiated a purchase without checking out, but enough to get the Paypal account that's registered as recipient:
"Fortacloud/Coinmint (prieur3@infolinkco.com)" is the recipient for payments.

We'll get back to fortacloud right away, but first, infolinkco...
- the domain redirects to a hosting server "https://www.serverpronto.com/"
- live chat isn't using a bot, or not the same at least.
- remember these names: infolink and serverpronto...

Ok, Prieur Leary, who are you?

About FortaCloud (http://fortacloud.co/):
- they show off their Datacenter capabilities arround the world (even PCI certified ones)
- the CEO is "Prieur Leary", sounds familiar? Remember, there's a dude called "James Leary" on the "about us" page of CoinMint.co who doesn't show up anywhere else on google.
- The CEO's LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/in/prieur-leary-497657a7) is pretty empty.
- Google doesn't yet clearly mention a link between FortaCloud and CoinMint.
- The bot-chat system on FortaCloud front page answers exactly the same as does the one of CoinMint to "are you a robot?", this use of a similar bot-chat service strengthens the link between them.

Type "FortaCloud" in Linkedin and only 2 profiles show up (for a provider as big as they claim to be?):
- our friend Prieur Leary
- a second guy with a full length CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crivera305 (Christopher Rivera... ha! A real CV with recommendations from real people... Chris, are you behind this scam?)

Hmm I now have a look at CoinMint's twitter:
https://twitter.com/coinmynt
Almost empty.

Now I have a look at the linked twitter account on FortaCloud:
https://twitter.com/fortacloud

Fortacloud retweets the following....
Look for april 19th, a dude named "CordaroStewart" says "Invest in Bitcoin. Daily Payouts, Best Returns. http://www.coinmint.io"

There is no other hard link between both of them on google. But that paypal account is sufficient evidence!

Look further and "FortaCloud" is also known as "fortatrust": for that name linkedin shows about 9 members (Again, we have Christopher Rivera) . One of them probably owns the (scam?) service CoinMint.

Last minute finding about CoinMin.io aka Fortatrust aka FortaCloud (aka <long list>)
"These are the same guys as ServerPronto and Infolink.
Do not order from them, look them up and you'll see why."

A whole thread of 2014 identifies them as scammers:
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/31635/fortacloud-2-gig-ram-free-vps-discovered-to-be-a-scam

Fortatrust is described as a scam, the post adds credit to think Fortatrust and Fortacloud are linked and they are in bed with serverpronto. Or better, they're the same person.

More evidence using Linkedin, a FortaTrust anonymous employee is "Operations Manager Infolink Panama" (infolink is the domain of prieur leary's paypal account, remember?)

Now I also see the name Octavio Diaz: worked for both FortaTrust and ServerPronto. Small world.

thanks for telling about that, however, the sign that indicates ponzi scam is more explicit nowadays.
anyway did you know, you can sure it is a ponzi if they have referrals?

i would recommend to improve the multiplier of the plinko, to make the multiplier to be up to 30000x, the maximum limit is not great to the people who wants to bet bit for major prizes.

hello admin, the chatting system is not even working. what just happened to your chatting thing? or did you able to chat with others right in the site?
665  Other / Off-topic / Re: Pokemon go on: July 15, 2016, 02:47:20 AM
i would boycott this kind of game unless there is no pay to win thing which deprives people who are poor to pay the credit.
you know, pokemon go uses a lot of memory as well. Sad
666  Other / Meta / Re: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ on: July 15, 2016, 02:36:09 AM
i would suggest to allow embedded NSFW images in thread titled with [NSFW] at the beginning, because some of the link to NSFW stuff could be a scam, by allowing those embedded images, they will have less reason to scam others. Huh

Dear VytautasK,

It's look like you did the refund transaction today, because my account goes to zeros.

So, I have to wait 3-5 days.

I post this just to be clear and get the confirmation because I didn't get any notifications for the refund process.
[img=https://s32.postimg.org/3w0u8qoe9/Screenshot_30.png]

------
And for members the company did the refund for me without buying Bitcoins, just to be clear for all - it was a solution from the support team.

Regards,
lol he finally refunded your funds, even this is not a scam, they will need a certain period to process your thing, like queuing.
668  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟🎲🌟 MoneyPot.com -- Your Trusted Bitcoin Gambling Wallet (Upgraded Speeds!) on: July 14, 2016, 12:39:09 PM
Huh I get the feeling something is wrong. MP was offline for two days, and gambling still doesn't work. Huh

i should assume if someone is being jelly to the bankroll of the site, and hack it to gain dollars. beware of your data being stolen at this moment - which are important.
669  Other / Meta / Re: tigerfree on: July 13, 2016, 11:26:55 AM

actually why do you ask people here if anyone is 15 years old? that's completely pointless, lol.

I'm curious, most people our age don't know a thing about money. Just wanted to see if their was any like minded individuals on here @ the same age.  Smiley

lmao that's ok. anyway, just no liquid posts then you are good to go. Smiley

warning, the site is being accused of refusing to provide banning reason for someone whose account is banned.
this is not the first time of the same thing.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1548063 accusation thread
674  Other / Archival / Re: Please help spectrocoin get my money on: July 13, 2016, 08:06:18 AM
what the shit? Shocked
they ban you without even a reason? that's not even possible.
anyway i will post your accusation to his announcement board, so more people will be aware of that.
sorry for spreading the falsified word, but refusing to verify his valid document is not tolerated in general.
675  Other / Archival / Re: Please help spectrocoin get my money on: July 13, 2016, 12:57:58 AM
nope, instead, want more evidence of how you get scammed by the spectrocoin.
if it comes to be shady, then i will give you a hand. Tongue
there is one questionable accusation about that site, not sure why the card provider bans that user by adding a lot of them.
676  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: letyouearn2 scammer on: July 12, 2016, 11:50:41 AM
it should have resolved already, why this thread comes up once again? Huh
letyouearn2 did you clear your debt?
677  Economy / Gambling / Re: Dice,Plinko,Roulette,BitSweep,Slots ★Bit-Exo.com★Jackpot BTC 0.39 & BTC 0.178 on: July 12, 2016, 12:56:50 AM
Quick question: Why on your site when I keep changing House Edge to 0.8% or 5% Max Profit will change accordingly.
But when you keep pressing - or + button at the max (or the lowest) possible HE value Max Profit still is changing, despite HE value at this point isn't?

Max win goup or down because of dynamic Moneypot bankroll which changes with every bet, as you can notice it is few satoshis difference

This is correct, when you first load the page we collect the moneypots bankroll info, when you try to change the HE we get this info again to make sure thats its up to date!

the bankroll of moneypot and the recent big winnings decides how much the max profit will be, or because the actual dice is based on 1 out of 2^32.
678  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: another poonzi biteminer.com or brother of hashocen on: July 11, 2016, 12:16:58 AM
If it is true that the site is the new hashocean so we need to stay away. With the halving is done already, it is impossible to get profit from cloudmining which is just a ponzi site.
Many of my friends lost their btc on hashocean because they thought that they can make good profit. Lucky me, I did not join any cloudmining sites before.
+1, and most of the cloud mining scammer can be spotted easily nowadays.
you should just simply take a look of referral, which is the biggest sign of red flag.
i was scammed for .06 so far for those ponzi, i am now with more awareness.
679  Economy / Gambling / Re: Dice,Plinko,Roulette,BitSweep,Slots ★Bit-Exo.com★Jackpot BTC 0.39 & BTC 0.178 on: July 11, 2016, 12:02:20 AM
Updated: First post thread
lol bit you should have made the 30000x to be the priority because this can be completed within a second if you found the code. Tongue

YoBit is now delaying their funds based on the recent resolved accusations.
they will most likely pay you back once they go back online. Huh be patient.
