1  Economy / Scam Accusations / tangem review Shocked lost 2btc on: May 22, 2019, 11:45:16 PM
This is to let others know to be careful of tangem. My friend bought 2 and gave them as a gift and a few months later the tangem app took the bitcoins. Couldn't get access anymore. Left support notes but company never responded. Just be careful guys. I dont want to happen to everyone. They take from app the bitcoin. Very clever. They lie and sell cheap product so they can take from your bitcoin. Be careful guys. Maybe its polymerbit new company who knows but I recommend opendime only.

Tangem uses a closed source application and is not open source. Be careful. They could steal your keys. 
It's cheap for a reason because the product is of low quality. They could be enticing customers so they can eventually steal keys. You should not trust a third party to store your keys. They could could have copys of your keys via their app. Sounds fishy. Be Cautious. The creator of opendime has also expressed concerns about the security of tangem. Would recommend opendime instead.
3  Economy / Reputation / proof trusted users are gaming this forum on: April 19, 2019, 12:48:01 PM
As you can see I was a new user to this forum and in under 24hrs members with high trust ratings and resorted to leaving neg feedback without any proof or evidence to their claims.
It's the same pattern that is happening to every new user.
Members with high trusted profiles are targeting new users with negative feedback so they may be seen by other members as untrustworthy regardless or the fact no proof is bought forward.
It's the same users from the same group who bid on each others auctions and inflate each auctions price to make new members fall victim to their scams.
Theymos you can clearly see this and can even try this out for yourself. Make a new account and have a different opinion and watch how certain members leave you negative feedback without any knowledge and proof.
The trust system on this forum is being gamed by members with high trust profiles to use it to the advantage.
All of these are illegal and criminal activities these members maybe involved in criminal activities beh the scene. Its roughly a group of less then 10 members who maybe behind other bought accounts.
New users are being targeted by these trust members each time.
Theymos you can clearly seen this happening
Anyone who makes a statement that doesn't fit their agenda they will leave negative feedback without proof.
These members have also been involved in scams previous which include doxxing and pushing users to suicide.
This has been added to the FBI investigation here www.fbi.gov/report/uodate/000293u281f
False accusations and bullying have also been reported.
This forum is being abused by trusted members
Without any facts or evidence
Users are being targeted with fake negative feedback
Criminal activities are taking place which involve these members
They bid on the same auctions led by their accomplices
And money is being exchanged
New members are being duped into being victim's to their scams
The trust system is being abused my anonymous accounts owned by the same person/company pushing their agenda onto victims
Please do not trust anyone on this forum and if you suspect illegal activities report it here www.fbi.gov/report/scams
4  Economy / Reputation / Re: Hhampuz REAL Reputation Thread - Fortune Jack - Liars, scam pushers, extortion ? on: April 19, 2019, 02:19:17 AM
Does Hhampuz  knowingly choose to employ and sponsor people that are Liars, Scam pushers, trust abusers and those implicated in extortion schemes and other shady escrow deals ? whilst refusing people into these lucrative campaign deals on the basis of the opinions  of these liars, scammers, possible extortionists and trust abusers?

Are these probable  crooks and liars are able to red trust who they like, for whatever reason they decide, and even get those people banned for telling the truth about them?

Does Fortune Jack know about this and are they complicit in sponsoring the activities of those types of individuals that use their powers here as DT members and merit sources to silence those that try to whistle blow on them?

This will be the first of many threads started to examine the possible actions of campaign managers and their projects and their sponsorship of perhaps some of the most shady people on this entire board whilst refusing honest members merely on some red marks actual scammers and liars wish to put on their accounts. Or some silly merit score that they and their friends control a vast proportion of?

Before we present the evidence for public analysis. Let see what other members have to say. Posts will be deleted if not accompanied by evidence, off topic or deemed irrelevant by myself.

Perhaps any fake red trust applied to honest members accounts not directly related to scams and scamming should be removed? Why should honest members suffer at the hands of those that have committed far worse atrocities ? whilst they cream off the best deals for them selves and their friends?  Perhaps anyone that has been banned for simply whistle blowing or under some false pretense should be reinstated immediately?


Edit - we notice already that one of the possible liars, scammers and probable extortionists has tried to damage my account for merely asking for an investigation?

A clear violation of DT and another clear example of red trust being used to prevent any whilst blowing. They are perverting the very nature of the trust system.

This thread and many others will not be going away until red trust can no longer be used to silence whilst blowing. They fear examination of facts to such an extent they will try everything to prevent it taking place on a public board.  





There is a FBI investigation into all these users which can be viewed here www.fbi.com/case/number/report/56€800s.
They are being run by a single individual who is using multiple accounts to pull a fake front.
The report also shows that the users are linked and shill Bidding to inflate auctions to scam people.
nOn of these users when questioned could not verify their identity and are running behind fake alt accounts with fake trust reputations.
The report also claims they have extorted over 20k in bitcoin via illegal activities on this forum which is being monitored.
One example is polymerbit runs an alt account named lesbiancow.
The FBI are still investigating polymerbits relationship with known extortionist and scammers.
All trusted users are abusing the trust and are accomplice to helping scammers run this forum.
The FBI is aware of this which can be seen in the report.
The FBI has also been tracking their social media accounts outside of this forum and is aware of the fake front that is being pushed by these scammers.
It's all illegal what is happening and if you have been a victim of their scams please send a report here www.fbi.com/make/a/report.
A quick glimpse into each of their feedback and trust ratings indicate they are running a scam ring and are associated with scammers.
The same users are leaving negative trust to abuse this forum.
They are a small gang/group of scammers who have overtaken the trust of this forum and using it to game this forum to their advantage.
We would strongly advise everyone to not deal with anyone who is abusing the forum trust.
Accounts can be bought and so can trust and the forum can be gamed to peoples advantage.
A quick Google search shows these people are also doxing anyone who disagrees with them to the point the victims are considering suicide.
The forum is rampant with scammers but the biggest scammers are the ones with alot of trust who abuse their place in this forum.
There are also claims of trusted members scamming people outside of this forum by using this forums trust reputation. Non of this is being monitored or spoken about. Users are being scammed non stop and the biggest scammers hang out in the Collectables section.
5  Economy / Reputation / Fake Shill Bidding in Collectables on: April 18, 2019, 01:15:11 AM
Theymos are you aware of current fake shill Bidding taking place in the Collectables section of bitcointalk?
After a long read through each auction, it is clear the same users are inflating and rigging each bid so new users fall victim to the final high bid.
Its apparent that the same users are pushing the price up in each auction.
Why is there no oversight into what is currently taking place?
We also believe users are running numerous anonymous accounts to inflat the bids.
Is theymos aware of this? Are you apart of this and why is nothing being done to stop users inflating the bids to their advantage?


Shill bidding is when someone bids on an item to artificially increase its price, desirability, or search standing.

Shill bidding can happen regardless of whether the bidder knows the seller. However, when someone bidding on an item knows the seller, they might have information about the seller's item that other shoppers aren't aware of. This could create an unfair advantage, or cause another bidder to pay more than they should.
