121  Economy / Scam Accusations / SCAM ALERT: FAKE XRP RIPPLE WEBSITE (ripple.com.vc) on: July 11, 2020, 12:15:11 PM
https://ripple.com.vc/csop/register/






SCAM ALERT
FAKE XRP DISTRIBUTION SCHEME





These scammers are sending out emails to people asking them to claim their free XRP and at the final stage of the scam ask for the secret key which they then use to steal the funds from the account and send the funds to their own addresses. The scammer are using emails from Ripple Team and email addresses such as leavy.co and nowpow.com

All XRP holders are advised to be careful. These scammers are using the domain "ripple.com.vc" as a play on the "ripple.com" website

































All XRP holders that receive the scam email are advised to note that as soon as you enter your secret key you funds will be stolen immediately by their automated scamming program an sent to their XRP wallets.

The XRP Fraud Report website allows fraud to be reported but will not reverse transactions. Their website states: "Prior to filing out the Unusual Activity Report (UAR), it is important to understand that Ripple does not own the XRP Ledger and the users of the XRP Ledger are not customers of Ripple. Therefore, Ripple does not have the power to reverse transactions, even in the case of a reported financial loss (ex: theft)": https://ripple.com/report-unusual-activity/

All people reading this are advised to stay from https://ripple.com.vc/csop/register/ and any website that offers free crypto.

122  Economy / Reputation / Vispilio: Merit Source Scammer Offering A Deal For His Feedback To Be Revised on: July 09, 2020, 11:17:40 AM








Here is a completely unsolicited PM scammer Vispilio sent me yesterday offering to revise the revenge feedback he left for me after I left him red trust because he admitted Yobit was a scam and claimed that victims were to blame if they got scammed.

Is it right for a Merit Source member who floats in and out of DT to make an offer of "if you revise your feedback I will revise mine" deal?

Scammer Vispilio goes as far as to say that the feedback I left for him is a joke but is it a joke when he floats in and out of DT then says it is the victims fault when they get scammed? His retaliatory feedback clearly demonstrates why he should never be anywhere near DT and was a very choice for being Merit Source.

In the past I have contacted a few members to ask them why they added me to their distrust list and then asked them for feedback. I also mentioned I would take their feedback as a positive and would try to reflect on whether any my posts should have been worded different but I never added them to my distrust list as a retaliatory or reciprocal revenge nor did I try to make a deal with them.

Here is a post from a different thread but it captures the element of duplicitous behaviour and retaliatory feedback by scammer Vispilio. I left him substantiated negative feedback along with a reference link because of his claims to blame victims for getting scammed in a scheme he was promoting for money and he left me unsubstantiated negative feedback as revenge after his frustration of not being able to get on to the Chipmixer campaign after which he basically attacked Chipmixer by playing the race card. He also encouraged others from his local language board to play the race card and started aligning with equally obnoxious users such as hacker1001101001 in order to create a highly divisive atmosphere in this forum.

Is this behaviour befitting of a Merit Source? Is this behaviour befitting of a user floating in and out of DT?

More details are here "Should DT and Merit Source Members Be Promoting A Known Scam?": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219538.0

123  Other / Politics & Society / TRUMP: KAAAANG FLU on: June 24, 2020, 03:31:47 PM
So what will be next for the President of the USA?

Now it appears that Trump is in full re-election mode desperate for a second term, he has decided to use very distasteful language to talk about COVID-19 at his latest rally in what seems to be an attempt to appeal to his fan base.

For him to stand on the stage then describe COVID-19 as coronavirus from Wuhan but modifying his voice in a fake Chinese accent in and saying "Wuuuuuu-haaaaan" in an obviously derogatory manner was a real low and appropriate behaviour from someone in the office of the President of the USA.

Then going further he went further when he said coronavirus was (in another fake Chinese accent) "KAAAAANG FLU". This behaviour is unbefitting of a world leader.

The only positive from the antics of the rally was the fact that Trump was drenched in sweat and he looked very uneasy and very uncomfortable. That might at least help some people find some solace in an otherwise non-comical, non-humorous yet farcical political rally that was tainted by overtly racist behaviour.

What will Trump do next to try to show he actually remains relevant in the race for the President in November 2020?

126  Economy / Reputation / 🔥 FAKE: Defamation At Its Worst During Chipmixer Applications 🔥 on: May 10, 2020, 07:39:54 PM
So one member of the merit abuse and fake trust gang that cheated its way to DT1 has opened a self-moderated thread complaining about anything and everything EXCEPT their own merit abuse and fake trust circle. It coincided around the time the ChipMixer signature campaign has opened as slots are available, probably designed specifically for Vispilio to play the victim.

Here is the link to the self-moderated thread set up by Vispilio where he has deleted my post and at least one more from another user because they challenged his warped imagination and selective-memory:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247288.0

Here is the post I made that hurt him so much that he deleted it. He created the self-moderated thread with the specific aim of trying to control the narrative but he cannot control this forum or the members within it.

Quote
For crying out loud.... this group of several Turkish merit abuse and fake trust circle participants should really stop all this drama and accept they were caught out and exposed, they will never have any real support from genuine DT members.

I just had to unblock the OP to read what the latest accusation and drama was all about and I for one am already tired of reading their trash nit-picking posts. Their desperation of trying to jump in to DT was exposed a very long time ago and they should stop behaving in such a counter-productive manner as it should have been stopped and is long over-due.

As for Lauda, I cannot comment further as I do not know the background information to the alleged post but if I have time I might look in to it to understand further but it cannot negate this whole victim crying nonsense by the OP and his several buddies and it needs to stop.


Open Letter to @theymos and @Darkstar_,

No surprise to see users with highly questionable backgrounds and associations with other merit abuse and fake circle participants such as Blacknavy giving 10 merits to that trash OP. It was fairly obvious equally obnoxious users such as peloso would also be sniffing around a thread posting propaganda along with others in that thread.





Is it time for DT1 users to finally start adding these types of users to their distrust list en masse just to negate their ulterior motives?

There are approximately 58 companies registered at the same address: https://suite.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/tn15-6px

The ID owner that was used to register the company probably has no idea what is going on with his ID. They company claims to have an Iranian national living in the UK as the owner. These IDs can be purchased online from criminals but are important to the scammers to try to legitimise their fake scam businesses.

129  Other / Politics & Society / CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON MENTAL WELL-BEING on: March 29, 2020, 02:56:51 PM
There is no real mention in the media during the days of coronavirus isolation regarding how the governmental health services will cope with those in need of help because of the mental effects left behind on victims after the whole epidemic is over and normal day-to-day life returns.

One of the things we are being told is to shop as infrequently as possible but items are limited to say two identical items then it means frequent trips will be necessary thus defeats the object. This contradicts the whole situation and adds to the confusion. Why does a parent have limit their shopping trolley to just one loaf of bread and one carton of milk when they could be for a family five or six people but a single person living on their own is entitled to the same quantity.

What effect will this have on the long term mental well-being of a parent when watching children not being fed properly?

What effect will this have on the long term mental and physical well-being of a child when not being fed properly?

I have no idea why toilet roll ended up being transitioned in to the bracket of essential goods (such as rightful essential goods one the lines of medicine, milk, bread and so on) but there are people all over the world having to deal with a new and unwanted situation they have never seen before. Going to the supermarket to find shelves empty is going to have some sort of effect on those that are desperate to feed very small children but find themselves in a very precarious situation.

How can one compare the mental effects of say a 80+ year old widow/widower living a solitary life in Madrid in a one bedroom apartment completely reliant on outside help from social services for everything from food deliveries to help with bathing versus a single parent family living in a 5th floor apartment in Venice with three children under the age of six?

All scenarios have the potential to cause their own mental impact to those affected by the need to self-isolate but each person will handle the effects of associated mental pressures in their own ways. I hope all governmental agencies around the world will be prepared for what will follow in their social care and mental care departments after the self-isolation period comes to an end.
130  Economy / Reputation / Using Sock-Puppet Accounts: MarketPeak Thread on: March 28, 2020, 03:06:44 PM
Just like the thread I started regarding the Plutus Card team beause they were using sock-puppet accounts to pump their thread, I am making this thread regarding MarketPeak.

As for the business structure of Plutus Card or MarketPeak I have no comment to make about them either being a scam or not because I have not delved in to their projects too deeply so cannot conclude anything based on evidence and/or high probability. This thread is purely about them using sock-puppets and paid shills with the same sort of nonsensical attempts at creating fake buzz associated with the Vitor Services for hire shills.

Here is the MarketPeak ANN thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234245

Page 1: has 1 post from a full member and 1 post from a jnr member - the remaining 18 posts are from newbies
Page 2: has 2 posts from the same jnr member - the remaining 18 posts are from newbies
Page 3: has 2 posts from two jnr members - the remaining 18 posts are from newbies
Page 4: has every post from newbies

Here is a post by MarketPeak in the coinsbit thread thanking them for listing their token. This is what caught my eye and made me look a little more in to the situation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5185065.msg54112085#msg54112085

They have listed their token on both coinsbit scam exchange and p2pb2b scam exchange so there is a possibility they are part of the wider coinsbit/p2pb2b/exrates/whitebit scam and there is a possibility they are just paying to get listed and are not in cahoots with them but using sock-puppets for hire is not the way forward.





I left appropriate negative trust for the user called MarketPeak on the basis of them using sock-puppets in an attempt to create fake buzz, I request you do the same: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2782440

135  Economy / Reputation / Using Sock-Puppet Accounts: Plutus Card Thread on: March 15, 2020, 12:49:24 AM
I am not making a scam accusation against Plutus but I am making the point they have used sock-puppets in an attempt to drum up fake buzz.

Threads cannot be pumped to the top of listings with low level sock-puppet accounts yet they attempted it. What makes it startling is that I sent a PM to them on 6th March 2020 with a very well worded approach asking them to stop which they did for a week before they started doing it again therefore I created this thread.

Here is the PM I sent them on 6th March 2020 after they started using sock-puppets to post in their thread, it coincided with their photo campaign and was obviously a shady move.


------------
Hello,

Regarding this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1521838.1440

I am not saying you are using sock-puppets or that you are paying for fake accounts in an attempt to pump your thread but it has been noted that newbies have started posting in your thread - specifically pages 73 and 74 which coincides at a time when you are trying to drum up interest in your business with your photo campaign therefore it raises suspicion for obvious reasons.

I hope whoever is controlling the fake newbie accounts will stop posting in your thread. Thank you.

Kind Regards

------------


Even after requesting they stop it a brand newbie account was created just to post this today:

Hi ,i dont understand how to spend PLU with plutus debit card ,how tu add ,in plutos app ,PLU cryptocurrency to plutos debit card?


It is a shame that any project feels the need to use sock-puppets in an attempt to drum up fake buzz.

BEWARE OF bitspay.io EXCHANGE

SCAM PROJECT















Bitspay Exchange Announcement Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231431.0
Forum Representative: bitspay.io (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2777480)

So what happened in the bitspay announcement thread that was used to advertise their website? The answer is nothing much... that thread seems to have been started in a classic manner in which ANN threads should never be started. The announcement was slated in post after post for being such a non-news announcement.

Looking through the website at bitspay.io it seems nothing short of a website set up to eventually pull off an exit scam. It cannot be taken seriously:

Ridiculous: https://www.bitspay.io/Listing

Absolutely pathetic: https://www.bitspay.io/Legal_policy

Completely useless: https://www.bitspay.io/Terms_of_Use

Highly dubious: https://www.bitspay.io/About_Company


It states the following:

Fully-License Platform: BITSPAY Limited registered with the registration number FVR000796 , under the Laws of the Republic of Estonia. Licensed and regulated by the Financial Intelligence Unit under license number FVR000796 for providing services of exchanging a virtual currency against a fiat currency and FVR000796 for providing a virtual currency wallet service.

©2020 BitsPay.io. All Rights Reserved. | Tornimae St. 18, Tallinn, 10145, Estonia



Major Concerns:

- there is no evidence of Bitspay Limited ever being registered in Estonia
- there is no evidence of licence #FVR000796 ever being issued by Estonia e-licence authorities
- there is no evidence of any crypto exchange registered at: Tornimae St. 18, Tallinn, 10145, Estonia
- the legal policy looks like it written by a 5 year old
- the about page looks like a template from a run of the mill website
- the terms/conditions does not mention the company name/user contract (major legal flaw)
- generally looks like a completely unprofessional website running a modified template which may or may not be connected to coinsbit/p2pb2b template

Just one glance at the website give more than an impression of the whole thing being a shambles and a scam but I am calling it a possible scam for now and allowing their representative on this forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2777480 bitspay.io) the opportunity to clarify all concerns within 48 hours otherwise I will probably remove the benefit of the doubt and call it a scam outright.

I am asking for them to provide the following as soon as possible:

- a link to show bitspay limited as a company registered in Estonia
- a link to show licence #FVR000796 issued to bitspay limited by Estonian regulators

Until this matter is clarified I advise all users to avoid bitspay.io otherwise you might run the risk of losing your funds.

BEWARE OF coinsbit EXCHANGE

ALL INVESTBOX ARE PONZI SCHEMES






So these scammers at coinsbit have decided to go down the Yobit route and create their own investbox. Just because the Yobit scammers were not held to account and are still getting away with making free money by running a fake investbox IEO/ICO every few weeks to scam users. At this moment in time it works a little bit different from the Yobit investbox but the reality is it is heading that way:

INVESTBOX SCAMMING TECHNIQUES

#1 buy in the IEO
#2 must invest minimum amount
#3 get various % daily profit if hold


All of the traits are there that make it akin to Yobit style of scamming which will unravel when the sell wall will be full but the buy wall will not exist, hence another ponzi and no other appropriate word for it.


-------------


For those that are not aware, the following fake exchanges are connected to Ukrainian scammer Valerii Solodovnyk therefore they must be avoided. They have been selective scamming users for a very long time. If you trade there you risk losing all your money:

coinsbit = scam
exrates = scam

139  Other / Politics & Society / Irish Drug Dealer Loses 6000 Bitcoin on: March 10, 2020, 02:49:11 AM
The article reads:

Drug dealer loses $58M in bitcoin after landlord accidentally throws codes out. The codes were printed onto a piece of paper and stuffed into a fishing rod case.



There is no way to verify the story but keeping aside the criminal activities for a moment, if true then 6000 BTC worth around $50-$60 million is a huge amount to lose.

In this case the person (Clifton Collins from Ireland) had €2,000 worth of cannabis in his car when he was stopped by the police and his car searched back in 2017. That allowed police to search his home and various other properties of connected people where money received from drug selling proceeds as well as other drugs were found.

He was sentenced to 5 years in prison but what nobody knew at the time was that his landlord where he was renting his accommodation packed his belongings and sent them to a rubbish dump.

One of the items that was dumped was a fishing rod along with its metal cap. It was inside this cap that he printed off and stored an A4 paper with the private keys to 12 wallets holding 500 Bitcoin each. He was buying up Bitcoin from his drug dealing profits mostly around 2011/2012 for around $5 per Bitcoin before it rocked in value. After an investigation the Irish police recovered around €1.5 million worth of Bitcoin from other wallets belong to Collins and also €100,000 cash.

Does anybody know what the biggest ever loss any individual incurred as a result of losing access to their private keys is?

140  Economy / Reputation / BETKING SCAM: Top Casinos Give Betking Scammer Affiliate Links on: March 07, 2020, 01:40:05 PM
The once high and mighty betking website has returned but with a massive fall from grace.

All the website does now is show affiliate links which will make serial scammer Dean Nolan money every time a user signs up as an affiliate and places bets. The betking website is no longer an online casino, it is just a place where the owner hopes people will click links and play at various online casinos so he can get commission.

As well as an affiliate link website it is now being converted in to a review website for casinos  Roll Eyes


mBit and Oshi might not have been aware of the full extent of the betking scam so it is easy to give them the benefit of the doubt but WHAT IS WRONG with Sportsbet, Bitcasino, Stake, Primedice and Cloudbet?

These five were around this forum when serial scammer Dean Nolan and his betking was stealing from winners of their competitions and stealing from investors so why have they allowed a massive scam such as betking to get affiliate links?

Why do they want to be associated with betking and serial scammer Dean Nolan after all the scams he conducted including the theft of over $400,000 of Bitcoin which led to the eventual collapse of the website in October 2019? That one he blamed on the server being hacked where ALL funds that were ALWAYS previously kept on a cold wallet were transferred to the hot wallet for reasons unknown but just in time for the alleged hack to take place - there is no doubt in the minds of those aware of the background that serial scammer Dean Nolan stole those funds and blamed it on an imaginary hack and he never reported the crime to the police. He and tried to hide it from the forum too that was until I posted about the website being down and when investors came here and exposed him.

It is common knowledge here in the forum about how he stole from ICO investors, BKB token holders then later from BKT token holders when he restructured the tokens on EOS and he also stole from winners of the 2018 Christmas Wager by not paying winnings by blaming it on another imaginary hack before admitting he miscalculated the odds and did not have enough funds. Knowing all this and more these casinos are allowing serial scammer Dean Nolan to make money off them? Surely that cannot be the correct course of action.

Initial calculations show serial scammer Dean Nolan siphoned-off millions of USD$. betking raised $6.5 million in the 2017 ICO and he stole a minimum of 30 million BKB directly from the 100 million BKB created which gave him around $1.95 million. He then stole further amounts because under the terms of the ICO "50% of all funds for "marketing, promotions, SEO, design development, server costs and legal" but he did no such thing to value of $3.25 million so where exactly did the money go?
