If this is true, this will negatively effect your credibility. Even much bigger projects like Bancor didn't back up with their offer and they are literally about to distribute millions of dollars through bounties. A professional team must keep their promises.

Please add any other useful info you have regarding this to the OP of the thread as you manage to gather it, OP. Namely, exactly how much you have been scammed out of personally, along with the "scammers" profile link (thanks a14m for providing it in the second post - but it helps to have it in the OP as well). Further please link where he has promised to fulfil this after the ICO had ended (as someone has stated in Populous Worlds' feedback).

Also, please use the normal "Scam Accusation" format for this thread:

Code:

[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Reference Link: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Amount Scammed: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Payment Method: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Proof of Payment: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]PM/Chat Logs: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Additional Notes: [/color][/b]

Anyone who has been duped by this, please post in this thread so we can see just how far this stretches.

I will leave a tag on Populous Worlds' profile temporarily directing him to this thread so he can explain in detail exactly what has gone on here. Judging from his response, and the response of anyone else that posts here, will determine if the tag remains or not.

Thanks.

I've seen some people agreed upon 1000 PPT each.

If every blog bounty participant agrees with this decision, I'll lock this thread and ask for a deletion.

You have all agreed to be bribed with an amount that is less than you were promised in the first place? Or am I missing something here?

Your prerogative - if people are happy with the "resolution" that has been promised, then I'll remove the rating once others' have confirmed this. Again, unless I have missed something here, I don't see why you would settle for less than you were promised. But if people are happy with it, so be it.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll check in on this again tomorrow and adjust the rating if necessary.

As I said, its not on my hands. If the other 25 people agrees to 1000 PPT, I can't do much.

I've checked the slack and basically the CEO said take 1000 PPT or nothing. So it seems like some people agreed.

I'm in no way happy with the resolution but it feels like they will not send anything if people doesn't agree.

[miKnutty]

Everyone who was present in slack agreed to the amount.

He said the tokens would be distributed tomorrow.

you gotta be kidding me 60 PPT for blog bounty!! equal to 0.066 ETH at ico price!!less than 15 bucks , they give twitter participants x10 more just for following and x100 for signature campaign, i think this is unfair.

PPT at etherdelta at time of writing is 0.0152 eth.
1 eth at time of writing is $191.43.
So 60 PPT is now worth $174.
An ungrateful blogger said he got paid 90 PPT, so its $261.88.
That is more than x17.
The fact is, a lot of people expect to earn big easily money for as little work done as possible.

Hi sir do you know from the beginning if PTT will rise to 15 x fold?
No one knows. This is a matter of promise not a matter of income

[kolonel_x]

If I can only hope to get paid from 10 stakes despite only 10 seeds because the CEO did not want to issue bounty allocation

[needmoney]

It seems like they have paid to 1 participant so far.

I have temporarily removed the rating on Populous World, pending further information from participants in this bounty project. Some seem to be happy, some don't, but the majority have not made their thoughts clear on the matter as of yet.

So for now, I'll be keeping an eye on this topic, and will take any further action later after speaking with other members of DT.

Thanks

Indeed nobody knows.
But humans being humans, are very greedy and will not think twice to exploit a selfish opportunity.
If PPT price tanks to 50% lower upon listing and the bounty reward loses half the same, do you think the bounty hunters will just keep their mouth shut and just accept the bounty reward with gratitude? Not a chance. They will make noise and demand to be paid twice because price has fallen by half.
Similarly, when price skyrocketed over x17, the same bounty hunters will make noise and demand to be paid the same amount of token as promised because they are eyeing for the x17 profit potential.
Either way, humans being filthy humans will find a way to make noises whenever the direction of the price goes, be it up or down.

I also wait for blog bounty distribution. I don't think they are scammers but I find them not so excited about paying blog bounties as promised amount. They raised a lot of money from ICO, why would they not want to give everybody their deserved stakes? If they reserve bounty amount then exchange price should be irrelevant. I hope everybody get paid asap.

Those guys are really annoying.


First they want a PM... they simply ignore it.
Then they want a reply by mail.. again they ignore it.

Btw why did anyone agreed on this reduction? Doesn't make sense to me.

[needmoney]

It seems like they stopped responding to anyone, blocked public chat on slack / banned people for asking questions about payments.

@Zepher, the dispute is not resolved yet.

[RAGEmond]

I wasnt able to reach anyone in slack or telegram cause links do not work .. does any1 have a working link?
