Well cointelgraph lives off ads so can't trust them whatsoever. They will promote whatever makes them a buck. They will not send philipma1957 a sample. If one can't do that or can't afford to do that thinking he would scam
most likely are scammers. Keep your coin. Buy btc much better invest than giving these folks your coin with hopes of getting them all back.
I'd love to be wrong about them. Since they are operating out of vegas they would have some balls trying to scam within US. But then again look at cryptsy. That guy still on the run. So hell who knows.
