Economy / Lending / Re: 3 Months Project Partnership Deal for 2 BTC > 140% ROI

In this case it is, in regards to the nature of my business. And it's easier working with an individual than a bank; otherwise why do we have Sharktanks? And not everyone can ask escrow deals if the proposal is not right which in this case am open to discuss with anyone willing to give me a shot.
Don't be a retard, use better real-life implications. The shark-tanks take part in the business which is registered, making some money or have the potential to make it in the near future. They also know their client personally. In your case, no one knows shit about you. Go approach shark-tanks because that's your only hope. Shitty trolling comment for merits. Get a life really... there's more beyond being a troll on bitcointalk. |

Your "Business" is not a valid collateral, Read this: What is considered collateral?Collateral is something that can easily be resold to cover the loan value plus interest should the loaner default on the loan. - The best collateral is another crypto-currency, such as Ethereum (also written as ETH). Coins must be moderately traded on multiple exchanges. - Some digital wares such as domain names can be considered as long as the user cannot recover it. - Small valuable items that can be shipped though the mail - i.e. gold, silver, iphones, etc. - Large items, such as a motorcycle or guitar can be used if you live close to the person giving you the loan. Try localbitcoins.com What is not considered collateral?- Merit. Bitcointalk Merit is not a commodity and is not meant to be traded. Asking or doing so may get you negative trust (Trade with Extreme Caution!)- Items they want to sell. They don't want it back, so they will default. It's scammy unethical behavior and will lead to negative trust. Check their recent posts! - Items not in hand. Don't trust a user that promises to give you something *when* they default! Tracking numbers only show something has been mailed - it could be an empty box. - Future income. You can prove you'll make xx coins in the next few days, but nothing forces you to send those coins to pay your debt. - Identification. So what if they can prove who they are. Are you going to spend more money and time taking them to court on untested legal grounds? You'll probably just walk away, like everyone does. ID is useless. - Games codes or similar. To verify the collateral you need to use the code, which destroys the collateral. Consider this a purchase, not a loan. (Post in Digital Goods instead) - Most new alt-coins or alt-coins that trade for satoshis are not good collateral as they can become worthless overnight. - Most pre-coins/tokens are worthless, or may take significant time to be worth anything. - Paypal should never be used - they are anti-bitcoin and will rule against you 100% of the time. Escrow can't even help, as paypal charge backs can come over six months later! - Most valuable online accounts can easily be recovered by social engineering (the user contacting support to say they were hacked, and regain control of the account) Examples: Steam When should you use Escrow? - Never send collateral directly to a low activity/post account offering you a loan, as they are likely to take your coins and disappear. (Collateral Scam) - Use only "Legendary Members" for escrow - they have a vested interest in the community with the time they have spent here. - Do not use a third party escrow service unless hero members can vouch for it - it's too easy to create a website, do a few escrows then disappear with a big balance. Rinse and repeat. - A list of trusted escrows can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 When considering the trustworthiness of a user, ignore "Posts" as there are schemes that pay a user per post. A person can make 1,000 useless posts in one day and contribute nothing to the community. Instead look at the "Activity" number - that gives you a more accurate tally of how involved the user is in the community. The new "Merit" system highlights thoughtful or useful posts, but gives no indication of trustworthiness. Ignore the sob stories that users post - it's just a scam to get your coins. If a person really is in such a situation, they can turn to family, friends or other social circles they frequent. They are just posting in our community because the payment is anonymous and irreversible. "Some digital wares such as domain names can be considered as long as the user cannot recover it." - So yes it is. thanks for the heads up though. |

Am taking my offline business to Online community; my audience is the music industry. Am asking 2 BTC loan for strictly marketing purposes. We have a potential of making upto USD 3k a day with the right Marketing. Products are in 2 categories, renewable and exclusive. Am looking at 3 months but repayment maybe done Sooner. Any interested party kindly let me know, positive advices and proposals are equally welcome.
The business isnt valid collateral. Anyone can form a business and claim it as collateral and no one is going to gamble with a risky business. Why not go to a bank for a business loan? Why come here? In this case it is, in regards to the nature of my business. And it's easier working with an individual than a bank; otherwise why do we have Sharktanks? And not everyone can ask escrow deals if the proposal is not right which in this case am open to discuss with anyone willing to give me a shot. |

Still waiting on @TradeFortress to send the Bounty my way as agreed.
Still no word from @TradeFortress, he seems to be ignoring my Messages yet we had an off escrow deal hope am not played lol.
Exploit01 how do you know if this person didnt steal someone identity? Have you factor that in? Considering the fact that you mentioned someone possibly used a vpn (or maybe took advantage of someone network), you shouldve factored that in. Plus on top of that, the links doesnt exactly prove it enough or even warrant authorities to take action. If it does, it doesnt happen over night and depending on the location the authorities would have to work with other country authorities to take proper action. I extremely doubt that the information you have provided (if correct) is enough for them to take action. They may put it on the back burner. I submitted every detail via Private message to TradeFortress. Included extra informations he asked for.... But he seems like a selective scammer. Actually based on 2013 reviews that he himself had pulled an impersonation scam attempt makes this thread a scam conseal attempt. He could have been involved yet claims impersonation. |

Am starting to give the neagtive comments here a credibility. I did a bounty work for TF 3 days ago for 20 BTC , off escrow deal only to be ignored by him after work delivery. If I don't get any response from him within the next 24 hours... I guess il be counting a broken egg. Until then il be patient and drop him a benefit of doubt.
I’m going to address this only once, but the bounty is for information that leads to the arrest of the scammer. This has not happened. While you have provided information, like dox of the person who owns the website (that was hacked), you have provided no evidence that the owner is behind the hacks, despite my repeated requests for you to do so, and based on public and private information I have every indication suggests the owner is NOT the hacker. Instead, you claim through “years of dark net analyst experience” that you are certain he is the hacker... which I do not find credible. Your information isn’t credible and do not fill the requirements of the bounty. Please stop messaging me. I am not going to be commenting or responding further on this matter. You claim my information aint credible yet you asked for the link between the hacker and elllee and prove that elllee was involved in the hack, which i went ahead and gave you without further adue. Something tells me you are directly or somehow involved in this scam as well. You once pulled a similar scam in 2013, where you directly impersonated a scam. I will open a new thread based on you but meanwhile I will go ahead and post full finding reports on both threads...let people judge why I do not qualify for the bounty yet a random hacker who offered nothing but an IP got a fee. And yea, you might be calling fake shots on the re-embursment bullshit to pull another scam . Will make sure it doesnt work... Watch this. |

If you google the domain it looks like it was compromised by some guy who owns the instagram account mwr and goes by 'SLNTAR' as seen in a mirror of the website from May 18 2018. It looks like the owner of the website has regained control but it's possible the website is still under the attackers control.
Considering that the domain is still being used as a phishing site to steal login credentials, I would say whoever currently is in control of the domain is the culprit. I wouldn't overestimate the technological ability of random Vietnamese business owners. It is highly likely that: a.) they are technologically uninclined b.) started the website for their business legitimately as they still list it on their Facebook page to this day even though it's not currently in use They probably were using a vulnerable version of some publicly available software which then allowed someone to upload a shell to the website. The owner then likely probably set the entire website to the current default page as a remedy to the problem. If the vulnerable software in question was something like an online store to sell their kitchen hardware, they could have deleted that but the shell could have given them SSH access to the entire system or worse. The alternative is the website could have been vulnerable to some other remote exploit due to outdated server software which would mean the attackers still got SSH access and owned the server. By your logic, a bunch of Vietnamese kitchen hardware dealers (who own a physical building apparently???) are using their own website which was hacked at least once before to scam people. The business is registered in Vietnam and it's listed on their Facebook page and on the domain registration so I think it'd be a little dumb for them to use that as a platform if the culprit was they themselves. The phishing pages aren't extremely sophisticated but by the looks of it they were probably created from scratch or using a program and the ICO page has an advanced mechanism that a.) only allows 1 registration per IP to prohibit bot spamming or the like and b.) requires passwords of 8 characters. The website also uses fairly good English and punctuation which it is evident the owner of the website or whoever is operating their social media does not have. The person who executed the scam seems technologically savvy and is at least familiar with the English language which it doesn't appear the people at Maxpara are. All evidence points to the website being used by external people to run their scam to avoid getting caught. Someone who is smart enough to code their own phishing page that shows a relative familiarity with computer programming probably isn't using their own domain name with no whois protection to run a scam. It'd be funny if it actually was Vietnamese kitchen dealers but unfortunately if it's probably not Quoting this post, 0nc3forg0tt3n had also pretended to be another CL user so they may be related, or they may be another person. In any case, the email communications of the maxpara phisher did not demonstrate solid English. English is definitely a very second language for them; there is no reason for them to use broken english while trying to pretend to be me and communicate with a CL user. I am not related but it goes to show how many people are hustling on this forum and how careful you have to be. I didn't read the emails you uploaded, I was only going off what I knew from examining their website. Interestingly enough, the website was compromised by SLNTAR on May 16th (or the 18th I can't recall what the mirror date was and I cba to look again) and on May 28th the domain was being used to scam Bitcointalk users. Again though, SLNTAR appears to be using automated methods so it's possible multiple people were able to gain a foothold into the website. SLNTAR doesn't appear to have a good grasp on the English language and (his instagram is in arabic). There's publicly available information to contact the company who owns the domain to the website and assumingly the server. If you can contact them, theoretically you could get the logs and locate the person who uploaded the shell/compromised the server. The language barrier might be an issue but their cooperation is probably your best bet here The best avenue besides that for you to take would be Blockchain analysis. It's a long shot but there's always a possibility of something coming up. If the victims of the scam were able to provide additional information on the perpetrator/copies of emails (with metadata as to see what server the spoofed emails are coming from -- are they coming from a public service or a private server? It's a good question and if it's a private server then you have a good lead there. received that'd also be useful. edit: also didn't read your response before posting but no problem lol it's kind of like a puzzle to be solved and puzzles are exciting
In response to Quickseller, it's possible that they just switched to the new website because the old one was defaced and they didn't know how to fix the vulnerability or whatever so they switched domains/hosts to alleviate the problem. I didn't check the registry but the odds are that they still own the domain and the server that hosts it as the IP of the website is the same as it was when it was mirrored on May 18th. I'll check later though SLNTAR goes by the user "Ellles" on this forum. He is currently marketing something to do with Ico on his facebook page. You can check his facebook account. @TradeFortress knows about him already. They ignorantly and stupidly left traces everywhere. |

Hey Exploit01, please let me know what you have found here. I don't consider the scammer to be technically skilled at all; the phishing page in itself is very primitive and reportedly the code only stores the _last_ password. The following files are courtesy of scotaloo; who despite our history I have chose to sent him 0.25 BTC out of the bounty in order to reward him for his efforts. Access logs: https://mega.nz/#!KxhyCK6S!cPInrNU2tIJF9LP30Upex7Z6j4CAEAyad0APxqXaFFs Extra logs: https://mega.nz/#!T5pymarT!oKVdk3yG4V16SBBHAHzc2fGOrWCijednGa9U6FRgOD4 Dump of public_html (431MB): https://mega.nz/#!y8QDkAzD!cB_B-fG9oA0t8lBRq8LMa_tN3KOKiol6FTwGSAXIexA I have given you the direct proof and link to the people invloved. The main guy behind spreading the link on bitcointalk is "Ellles" don't know if the alias is right on here. |

Well, it turns out this guy is actually from Africa. Morocco to be exact. (Before successfully impersonating me, he claimed in a email that he is from Africa). Those IPs also aren’t proxies or VPNs.
I’ll be doing some research to decide the next course of action. But just throwing this out there: if anyone is near Morocco, or would like to visit Morocco for an all expenses paid trip (and then some), let me know!
NOT TRUE, First thing; you need to Note that NO ONE SKILLED ENOUGH TO RUN SUCH A PHISING PAGE, would be DUMB enough to Leave IP tracks that silly! They always, and always will stay behind fake IP protocols. He could be running from a hacked RDP or RENTED -- How would you defend against that? N/B RDPs will never reflect as proxies or VPNS. The second point already rules out the addition that he is from Africa. The guy is VIETNAMIS to be precise! I have full activity change and log... WHOIS hide log, Government records, facebook aliases, relatives aliases And business change after he pulled the scam successfully home address and lots of proof that you can actually present to a law enforcement for apprehension. You can not use just IP to table a case in such a matter. If you still interested in my finding I will drop it to yah. |
