The bottom of their e-mails say 11015 York Road, Cockeysville MD 21030 USA However, google maps says that is a place called Precision Tune Auto Care.... https://www.google.com/maps/place/11015+York+Rd,+Cockeysville,+MD+21030/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c81279781138df:0x418d7f10fb767a74?sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwja8NDB56zWAhVM6YMKHUImCaIQ8gEIJTAA So here we have a man named Petre from Romania (he confirmed this a few pages back) who lied about his name and is promoting a company that lists an address that really belongs to an auto-repair shop. Then he changes his story multiple times about what is going on/when people will receive their payments, finally sending out an e-mail claiming that anyone who hasn't been paid is a cheater and that he will be taking a week off. This whole thing screams SCAM louder and louder the deeper you look into it. The founder ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/nolan-warfield-aa064713/) indeed owns a car repair company ( https://www.facebook.com/PrecisionTuneAutoCareHuntValley/) Both he and Peter are involved in a more or less legit marketing platform for authors ( http://SeriousReading.com). I checked this before I got involved, and it only raised minor red flags, could have still been legit. What they did with the fake-bounty program however... will reflect on their other businesses, as well. I bet that a bunch of people who this guy scammed will now to go to that facebook page and link this thread to accusing the owner of being a fraudster. He clearly did not think this through and might have ruined another one of his businesses in the process of scamming everyone here. I can’t wait for them to get back and have destroyed not one but multi company’s Hahahahahaha

Dont look down on the ones that didnt receive,
because of this scamming. Dont expect the ATS will go for 0.15 cent
let alone be listed on exchange site
now we can make legal complaint against Authorship.com
They did nothing illegal. They didn't steal from you, no one made you promote their bounty. Theres no legal complaint to be made, you cant sue someone for not giving you something for free. They are based in the US. In the US it is completely illegal for a company to promise something for a sweepstakes/bounty campaign and then simply refuse to pay it. It's also illegal to guarantee the price of something like ATS will "definitely be 15 cents" but nobody is complaining about that. Get off your fucking high horse because you have no goddamn clue about the law. What Authorship.com has done here is COMPLETELY illegal and complaints/lawsuits will be filed accordingly.

I really hope that ATS goes to the exchangers very soon. Then all of the whiners can sell of their coins below $0.15 while others and myself buy at dirt cheap prices.

It's your money and you can do with it what you want. After this affaire I see many better promising options to invest in.

They never gave a guarantee price of $0.15, but rather than a recommended price of $0.15. A big difference.

But then they emailed everyone in their campaign that they guarantee it will be 15 cents. That's where they fucked up.

Battle between people who received and non received tokens? Please. This is serious problem. You get tokens, ok, but we didn't. If you can't say or do anything to help us, just be quiet. Still waiting for my 10k tokens. Huge number, huge marketing expense and time consuming.

This was by definition not a sweepstakes and "bounty campaigns" are not regulated by the FTC. Good luck with your lawsuits, buddy. Maryland contract law allows for contract formation when there is a valid offer and acceptance (including through part performance in certain circumstances). The issue here is not of a sweepstakes nature or FTC regulations. The issue is that Authorship advertised that they would provide people with a good (ATS tokens) in exchange for a service (promotion of the ICO). Petre and the Authorship team later decided that they didn't want to pay out and simply declared the whole event over. Unfortunately for them, they had already sent out e-mails confirming that some people had completed the advertising service and were going to be paid a certain amount of ATS. To be clear, I am not referring to the e-mails that were received along the way, but rather the withdrawal confirmation e-mails that they sent out after people filled out the form on Sept 14. Anyone who matches that specific description would potentially have a valid lawsuit against them. No scammer would have a valid lawsuit because Authorship disclosed up front that they would have a zero tolerance policy for fraudulent referrals. Petre and Authorship might have really gotten themselves in some legal troubles though with the decision to not pay out to the people who they had already sent the confirmation e-mails to.
