1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Purpose (PRPS) & DUBI (DUBI) Ethereum Token Scam on: January 22, 2018, 11:11:04 AM
Alright so quite a popular streamer on twitch called Athene has been scamming people with a new currency he has created called Purpose & Dubi
The price is currently being artificially inflated on a exchange called IDEX, where he sets a current buy wall & sell well for his coin, inflating the price by 1% every few hours to days (depending how much he sells of it). Currently he owns 99.6% of the currency and dumps it on the exchange he has had his token listed on for fixed prices, hyping up to everyone who watches his stream. “this coin can never fall, it’s a pump & pump coin that will only go up! It can only go up! I am going to make you rich, invest now etc etc etc.”

Now I have been watching this coin for a while, and when somebody owns the entire amount, and sets inflated buy prices. You have to wonder to yourself, something fishy is going on here, especially when he wants you to buy the coin, and then lock it (HODL) so you can get 1 DUBI in exchange. Now when you lock it (in a manual smart contract) the PRPS is oddly enough sent back to his own wallet. And thus the cycle of pumping it continues, with the rule you cannot have your prps back for 12 months. Now if you watch some of the lengthy videos down below you will see he is constantly (for up to 9 hours insane!!!) repeating to you why this coin is good, and how he is going to make you super rich, while also blurting out its a scam now and then for "entertainment purposes" also getting quite irritated when somebody calls him out on stream, now if this coin had nothing fishy about it, you would calmly ignore such comments, or prove why its not, he engages with the people accusing him and begins to go on a rant against them, it feels like he has something to hide and defend.

Now this shady exchange is pretty new, pretty small and I feel like he is doing a deal with them (dont take my word for it, its a hunch), and getting pretty wealthy on eth as of how much of his token he sells for eth there. While in reality his coin has absolutely no value, its not listed anywhere else! Only on this odd exchange where he repeatedly pumps up the price every time it falls back, I am still trying to wrap my head around it, how he owns the entire wealth of PRPS but yet banks out from ether because people he begs to, buy it up. No way would this currency make you "millions" as he states. It’s making him millions (of eth) but not the buyer of his pre-mined coin.

But in all honesty, I have shown you some of my proof that's down below. I would like you to give me your views on the whole thing, show proof or legitimacy of the coin. I think this coin should not be allowed to be shilled out on Twitch.tv which have yet to make a comment on his channel when he goes on a shilling spree for up to 9 hours, of why this coin is going to make YOU rich. Of course, if we have evidence to back up the legitimacy of this coin this topic will be removed.

Insane videos of Athene and Reese:

https://clips.twitch.tv/UglyGentleSpindlePogChamp

In this part of the video, somebody undercuts his sell wall, which gets him pretty angry as his coin drops by -90.0% in value.
After a little while you will see him zoom into his graph, to make it look like the coins increasing in value, while also desperately setting more sell wall prices for hundreds, if not thousands of his tokens for a set price.

Some long video casts of where he try's to brainwash the audience to invest eth into his currency that's completely under his control:

Really wacky website for the coin PRPS & DUBI

https://www.prps.io/

The odd exchange in question thats allowing this shilling scam ( idex.market )

Edit: It seems Idex has de listed both tokens, I would be interested to see the reasons for de listing, as I cant imagine its from a reddit post.

Edit: Supposedly making their own exchange because they were de-listed. It's called DUBIEX, good luck to them and artificially pumping their own token, easier to do it on your own! I wonder if they will be using source code from github, as there is plenty of exchange code on there.

3  Economy / Scam Accusations / [LEAK] [SCAM] Bitcointalk e-mail database leak on: November 15, 2017, 01:07:30 PM
Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, as of late I am getting a few emails from this user ivanbases@stend.pw claiming he has the users database.
Here is a complete copy of the email I was provided with.

Do we know if this is a recent leak? Should we be worried about details being compromised. Does look like a scam to me though, for anyone stupid enough to send 1 BTC.

Quote

Hello,

I sell an e-mail database of Bitcointalk forum users.

Quantity of unique e-mails: 543,690
63,000 users from parsing and
492,000 users from the dump purchased on DarkNet.

The database is not fake, you can check it by doing the following:
1. Find any e-mail on any Bitcointalk page
2. Tell me first three characters of that e-mail
3. I send you all e-mails from my database that begin with these characters

The price of the database is 1 BTC.

This database can be used to involve new investors in ICO projects and find partners for any crypto-currency business.

If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me.
