May be there is thousand post about KYC. So it doesn't mean we can't post about KYC. Post subject is totally different. What's harmful you seen on my post? I can't see. Is it mistake to share what I think? Every thought is different each other. So we can learn from each other. You are seniors, if you have any though about it feel free to share.

Recently most of ICO asking for KYC. It's really high risky to submit document for KYC. Even though I am not support to join on Airdrop. Then when question of KYC, I am totally not supporting. Only for 5$ how is possible to submit personal document? Although airdrop is wast of time. Then asking for passport or any id card. Do you think it's fair? Really not.
Even you like airdrop, I suggest personally to avoid submit KYC document for Airdrop. They can misuse your personal data.

For example, you are trading on Bittrex.  You already verify your address by submit your passport. Now if you submit your passport any ICO airdrop, they can claim and hack your bittrex account. Nothing is impossible!

So be careful before submit your document for Airdrop. May be you will got scam or any harmful thing.

First I apologise to Mr. theymos for this topic.

We have faith to theymos that he will care about every member's. And he is doing from beginning.
I know this website is not scam. And almost trusted. Also not against of forum rules.
But I just share my opinion about this ad on this forum.
I will point out why I think need to remove this ad from here.

This site based on Betting.
This site based on like lottery.
This site mentioned 99% luck 1% skill.( there is no valu of skill. People can't use their skill earn from here)

I believe that this site can't be much profitable for people. In my experienced most of betting or lottery player on loss.
For me betting is one kind of addict. People become addicted on it. Then he can't able to understand he is going loss his capital.

As well as ICO advertising is not allowed on this forum. Due to high risk. I think also this site also high risk for forum member's.  Personally I don't want that some one will got big loss from here.

Judgment depend on you. If you think it's really harmful then you can remove this ad. If you think it's profitable then you can continue.

It's seems your pic already display. I can't what is your problem. Can you clear this ? If your hosting problem then you can use this free image hosting. http://tinypic.com

It's absolutely scam. No any exchange are giving you like that offer. Any how , if you want to check practical then click their link. You will see many transaction are ongoing on their fake script. You can see they will provide you an eth address to send eth. Just copy that address. Then go to www.etherscan.io and search this address. On result you can see real time transaction. Hope now you will know  their details. How much balance they have or how going transaction.

Absolutely. You got the right point. They just want to pump a coin. Then they can get profits. They just use us. May be some of us get profits and some of us got loss.

Scammer account: CryptoPredicted

He just create a topic about his service for trade signal.
Topic link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4406498.0

Archive: http://archive.is/48L8J

He is offering partnership. That means he will get paid from members and partner too. It's absolutely scam. He only create bitcointalk account for this cheating. His account is newbie. It's look like he has another account on this forum. He create this account for scam. Till now he just make 5 post about his service. I have reported his all the post for save people. I don't know moderator will take action or not.

Be aware from this kind of offer.

I don't know how many people got benifite from paid trading signal. Yes, there is best and legit trading signal. But it's very rare. Most of them are smart scammer or silent scammer. It's normal that if any one have huge paid member's on his group. He can simply give signal to buy some coin. Because they will give signal only single exchange. Once they give signal people start buy. Then automatically price will go up. Then who is give signal they sold their coin on good price. Yes that time may be some people get profit and some people can loss. Those are in loss, they think our bad luck so we loss. No it's not only loss it's one kind of scam. Signal giver show success by those are on profits. Specially on day trade happened this kind of scam.

We get scam because we are very lazy. We didn't try to research or analyse crypto market. We only depend on other.

My question is if some one know whice coin will pump then why they need get paid for signal ? Why they didn't trade huge themself? Because they are not sure. Main reones to get paid for signal is pump a coin and get profit.

My suggestion is even you pay for signal, you should research yourself too. They just make fool us.

Even they are block but we need to be careful about that. Scammer are more smart from us. There is no solution if we for scamed. So it's better to prevent before happened any accident.

Even you are right, this is not parmanet solution to prevent spammer and shitpost. Unless we change our mind. Main problem on our mind. Even 100 moderator assign but there is million people posting daily. They are not robot !
So how can they prevent it ? I always said " prevention is better than cure".

First we need behave our self to make quality post. Then we can report to moderator those are shitpost we find. So that they can delete it.
Every one should help clean this forum. Not only moderator alone can do anything.

Let's build this forum clean together.

You absolutely pointed right thing. It's always happening around us. Scammer are finding new way to scam us. We need to be careful about save our hard work money. Because scammers are very smart more then us.

Some basic scam I will describe for newbie to avoid big loss. We can avoid it before attacked.

1) Wallet hacking:
Basically we used some crypto wallet to store our crypto coin. Example: blockchain, coinbase, coinpayment and MyEtherwallet. We can got scam by visiting phishing site. Once you enter your details on phishing site, they will access your wallet and stole your coin.
To avoid phishing site, we can bookmark that orginal website and we should use 2FA for each site. Don't use same password your all wallet. So that we can avoid this kind of scam.

2) ICO scam:
Now a days it's very difficult to avoid scam ICO. ICO become now as smart scam. They are easily make us fool. To avoid ICO scam you should research strongly about their project. Any existing project there? How quality their whitepaper? How strong team? Team are existing or fake ? Check their social media profile. How strong their community and advertising strategy? Amount of total supply etc. Even we can't avoid ICO scam, but we can minimize.

3) Ponzi scheme:
Some of ICO or token offer various profit. Like lending and revenue sharing from their project. For me it's a silent scam. They scam slowly. For example : Bitconnect is one of them. I think better this kind of project.

4) Chose crypto exchange:
Many people got scam for exchange his coin. Specially from local exchange. Verify difficult to identify legit local exchange. So be careful and research when you use local exchange. In the other hand some international exchange make silent scam. For example: Yobit and hitbtc. They have many bad reputation on this forum too. You can use simply search button to find them here. You have to choice best exchange for trade. Example bittrex and polonix.

5) During trade:
It's the latest scam. We have no way to find out the sxmcammers. I called them big while. Because they can dump or pump any coin for a moment. Some time we can see suddenly dump or pump any coin. They have strong team. They start buy then trend become up. Once we start buy they simply sale their hold coin and market become down. Then we are worried and sale our coin even in loss.

6) Fake give away offer:
May be you will received spam mail or you can see any tweet or tweeter reply with give away offer from scammer. Actually they use a name from reputation company or exchange to make fool us. Avoid this kind of massage once you see. Don't click their any link.


I will edit post if I found more new scam system.

One of DT member already answered you nicely. I think it's enough to understand whatever you want to know. I think it's better to lock your topic now to avoid spamming. Thanks.

Also I was think about how write a quality and useful topic on this forum. Almost I have got that point and I am going to share it. So that I can learn more by discuss about that point. I am wrong or right.

For quality and useful topic we need to identify a problem on crypto related.

Then research about the solution. Once you get solution then you can make a topic about the problem. So many members can learn from your post.

For example: why crypto market downtrend now?
This is current situation. You can research about that and can make a topic.

Unnecessary topic on this forum will be counted a spam. So be careful about it. Another thing, before you make any new topic you should use search option here. Because if some one already make a topic your similar, there is no need to make same topic. You can help by reply his post.

For keep clean and spam free this forum you can report shitposter or spammer to moderator if you found. And you can make post about alt account holder and bounty cheater. I think this kind of post will count as a quality post.

May be they use any bulk mail  software or website for campaign. You will find unsubscribe button bellow of mail. Simply unsubscribe from their mail list. Hope you will never receive this kind of mail on future.

Look like they stolen name from Binance. As well as they has buy good rating form various ICO rating/listing site. I have read their whitepaper. Their concept is exchange and they will share revenue from exchange profit. I think it's look like lending platform. Those is already vanish. White paper quality is not much fun and many red flag there.

Anyway that is not my main point, may be they are legit. We can't say before complete their ICO.

My main point to describe about their team. Is it possible to handle an ICO only 2 person? If they have more person on tram why not mention on website ? Also they use vector image for team. They don't use original image on their team. Even they use original picture for LinkedIn, why not use on website ?


Their ANN thread also not much professional.

Total token supply: 21 Million BEX . They didn't mention their contract address on website. I search link on etherscan.

https://etherscan.io/token/0xedbbb686a3b2ee4134b88ebbd788ca16e1f733ab

Their crowdsale duration also too long.
They use Singapore country on contact but they are not mention any team members from Singapore.
Need be careful before buy their token.

Yes it's from long time. I feel to post for new members. They might be not aware about that.

Yes you are right. They have reply most of exchange typically. May be newbie are not aware about that. This post might be help them.

I have posted this thread on begginer & help section. I feel that much helpful for newbie. On the other hand I think this post should be also this board onScam Accusations.That's why I make quote here form my old post. Even we will not able to take any action, but we can aware about that.

 tweet, I have seen below reply


There is 5000 ETH give away offer. They will ask you to send eth and they will offer you 10X return. Lol.... This not bittrex official Twitter account. Check the spelling they used (Blittrex) instead of Bittrex.
This is a pure scam. Don't send any eth if you see this kind of reply. I have seen almost they make same reply on many exchange's  official tweets. Stay away from this kind of msg. They just make their own fake script. Once you click their link you will see many fake transaction. They will provide a eth address to send eth. And on their script you will see people getting 10X Eth what they send to them. It's totally fake.
There are not any kind of offer like that from any exchange. So be careful & save your money.
Don't click their link.
