1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: A POSSIBLE SCAM "Bitcoin Black" on: July 21, 2019, 06:46:43 PM
My 2 cents:
- Their Github is just a rebranded fork of NANO with one commit, no development activity on it
- Using Bitcoin in their name to sound familiar, adding nothing that sets them aside from other existing crypto projects with active dev
- You get possibly millions $ for spreading this as much as possible
- The apps are most likely designed to search your phone for known crypto wallets
- Time sensitive pre-ICO sales
- Userdata could be sold for marketing, no KYC, nothing legitimate
- A change.org smokescreen petition to get it listed on Binance (seriously? who would think this has value to Binance?)
- Website has not been changed since launch
- Their Telegram is filled with confused people, all asking how they will get their BCB after they signed up (https://t.me/BitcoinBlackBCBGroup)
- You basicly give away your email address and that's it, there is no wallet yet, you can generate a (NANO) wallet manually, there is nothing connected to your email address afterwards
- People are shilling the website but there is no reflink connected to registering, there are no headers posted by which they could know who signed up via who, this makes no sense
- On the website the package for the 4th stage is sold out, there has never been a way to order this, there were no stage 1 2 3 sales
- In the Telegram they tell you to mail their email address to purchase, so they take your BTC that way
- At first the airdrop was for 1 million users but they saw it did not go around that fast so they changed it to 100.000
- Maher's Twitter account was about funny gifs before it became 'Bitcoin.Black Rewards' (https://twitter.com/FunnyGif007), before that he also shilled PCN or PeepCoin a lot which was another scam




All this adds up to the kind of things you saw in 2017, or 2013 for that matter if you were here long enough to remember, guess ppl forgot or the ones falling for it felt they missed out last time.  Roll Eyes

Well it all looked promising but it has been radio silent from the team.  Roll Eyes
Do you know of any news or updates or anything?

Their social media looks abandonned, what are they working on?
