WARNING: ICOcountdown.com SCAM extortion scheme

[cryptosecurity]

WARNING

ICOcountdown wanted us to pay him 4.5 btc to be on his site and we didn't accept his offer.

ICOcountdown.com aka Alex is trying to extort projects by demanding exorbitant fees to have projects listed on his worthless website.



On top of that, he's now trying to run an ICO [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1480468.0]:

Hello everyone,

I have decided to launch my own personal token.

My life will be now tokenized on the Bitcoin blockchain. The life is tradeable and divisible.

-- What a pathetic attempt. Come on.

[prettybuds]

OMG ppl like these need a lesson. That dude thinks he's some sort of *ICO Authority* here now or what?

Same thing with RISE, with MINEUM and probably many others.
Pathetic.

The first time I saw the account ICOcountdown spamming shit I used the ignore function.

Unfortunately there are way too many uninformed lazy investors (meaning gamblers) buying into all sorts of retarded ICO scams and giving money to anon scammers with nothing to show up, giving bad name for crypto in general.
So when there's a "service" dedicated to reminding people when they should prepare their wallets and bend over then there's obviously something very wrong.

Good to know, thanks.

That's a pity.  A site like it is very useful.

What did he mean when he said that "he can give it back"?  Give the 4.5 BTC back?

Hi Alty

Imo it's not cause it's heavily centralized (one person's opinion).

Common sense and a little experience is all it needs to be able to personally assess projects.

I don't need some sort of wannabe authority telling me what or what not to be interested in.

[altseeker]

It's all over for ICOcountdown, he's been exposed.

[btctube]

ICOO also turn him down. He must have asked more too.

Hi Alty

I just told things as they were and people picked up on it.

I just want to see all the upcoming ICO's and what's running.  Don't care if it's jus a thread here on this forum.

OP, just curious...  What's your project that you want listed?

I don't want any projects listed on any website. I believe in decentralization.

So what was he asking 4.5 BTC for?

[tokeweed]

Oh I thought you had a project that you want listed and then had to pay 4.5 BTC.
