1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Coinlancer SCAM on: December 18, 2017, 07:11:00 AM
I think every ICO listing page should stop listing this token immediately!

There is everywhere evidence that this is a pure scam project.

* Tokens are already floating around without any reason
* The tokens that are floating around a far less than $11M, just about 300,000USD
* One address holds 97% of all the tokens
* Just lying from the beginning. Please check the first version of their homepage -> http://web.archive.org/web/20171005070449/http://www.coinlancer.io/
    * in the archived site you can see that they told that they will launch the product on Nov. 15th -> Now is December and they just launched a sh*tty beta
    * in the archive you can see the original team -> just 4 scammers and 3 scam advisors -> Now they have over 30 sh*tty members
*there are no statemets or anything from their CEO. No pictures from him on FB or anywhere. Nobody knows if this guy even exists.
*they have "lorem ipsum"-code on their webpage. Seems like the homepage is just copied from another project
*there is no address to check how high their funding really is. The sum is f*cking hard-coded on their webpage!!!
*They extended the ICO by 1 f*cking month without any reason or statement.


Shame on coinschedule for listing them as gold!
Coinschedule, you are just looking for money! Because of your gold listing people will invest in this scam! Can't you do a short audit before gold listing a project?
I really think there should also start a discussion about these listing pages!!! Newbies think that a gold or silver listing means that the ICO is endorsed!

Also shame on HitBTC for starting trading them! I know that HitBTC just wants money! Give them half a million and they list your sh*t!!!


This is all not good for the cryptocommunity and really painful to watch Sad

Everybody who is really interested in the long-term success of Ethereum and the Blockchain innovations should start shaming and reporting such projects!
Start with sharing my list of evidences on Twitter, Facebook, VK or anywhere and please contact listing pages and trading platforms to take this scams down!




You were right. I was also wondering why Coinschedule listed Coinlancer as gold badge. Turn out they received money from marketing program to do so. I contacted them to clarify and here is their answer.

"Thanks for alerting us to this.  Yes we are working very hard to reduce scams, its our main goal for our next update, it’s a very big problem to solve and we have been working for many months to solve this in a scalable manner.

 

As you might understand, we get 100’s of ico submissions a week and its taking some time to build a system and procedure that can handle them.  You have to understand that the ICO business has blown up, it took us by surprise, we are playing catch up.

 

We hate scammers, it’s not like we are promoting them on purpose, also as per our T & C, the Platinum, Gold and Silver do not reflect on the quality of the ICO, they are just paid marketing packages.  We will be releasing a system that will show quality of ICOs within the coming months.  This will be where we do some research and due diligence on the projects.

 

Please do not think GOLD Project = Easy Money, its not like that, always do lots of research.

 

Regards
