[WARNING] ats tokens scam

[TheCryproMaster]

So there's been nothing from these guys for over a week now is that right? What about investors, have you heard anything from them?

Is this a typical way for an ICO to work, grab the funds, pay out some bounties, then keep quiet until forced to say something? Well with the force them to say something it looks like they can do what they like and have done till now.

If they had stopped paying out the bounties then 100% this is a scam but they did, and scammers would have just run away by now with the millions in ETH they got. But this could be an elaborate scam to buy them time.

If I had anything invested in this I would be demanding them to state wtf they're doing with the funds.

There has been complete radio silence since Sep 18.

On that day, their official ANN thread was closed. peterauthorship has been seen active for the last time on bitcointalk and they sent out their last email, stating that everyone would be paid within 7 days.

I have checked their facebook page and Authorship.com commented that another exchange will list ATS by next week.

Awesome! The news is so good and pleasant. Hope to see ATS tokens on bigger exchanges ASAP

That would be great as the prices should be more decent, I hope.

Here is the update, BTW.

Now I'm starting to believe that Authorship Token (ATS) is a SCAM!!! Until now, I haven't received my payment from their bounty. Its been weeks already. I don't know if they still have plans to pay us. It is not a good start for an ICO. They are already showing that we need to be extra careful before investing on this.

Thank you , my friend!

So the Authorship LIARS won't pay the rest of us. What a SCAM.

I saw some people with no dignity trying to protect the value of their tokens with lies in another thread.

I read somewhere that you can still submit your withdraw request
anyone done that recently and received tokens yet?
or has anyone actually received the tokens in this last week?
I mean those who are waiting for free bounty tokens, not those who paid/invested ETH

[rufus59]

People they are still saying scam are the one's who are bitter they did not receive the airdrop. It obvious now to the Crypto world that ATS is no scam, you want to continue spread ing propaganda, that on you

That withdrawal form was removed (so they won't have to pay the people who haven't filled it?).

Most people with low amount of tokens (especially 75) have not been paid yet. They paid sequentially from high to low numbers, but from around 375, they just randomly sent to a few people then stopped.

Just another lie from those Authorship liars:

Everyone that successfully completed our withdrawal form here http://authorship.com/withdraw/ will receive their tokens.

The withdrawal form is offline (used to be at http://authorship.com/withdraw).

You can check all transfers from the distribution account here, very few payments during the past days:

https://etherscan.io/address/0xa68ba00236769703d30c17f63444cc7b3d509c72#tokentxns

Their payout strategy follows weird criteria.

They paid a few, then, after the outrage, paid a few more, starting with those who had thousands of tokens.
Many, like me, had submitted the withdrawal form very soon, and have gotten nothing.

If you check the payouts and do a little simple math (how many people with 75 or a few hundred tokens must be there, so that the number of people who had 5K+ tokens makes sense) you see two things:

- they still did not pay out the vast majority of people who had 350 tokens or less.

- they obviously did not end the bounty program when the allocated tokens would have been used up, then tried and still try to not pay the majority of the participants.


Edit: sorry, wrong etherscan link, corrected.

I got 75 ATS tokens. They were in myetherwallet after i put in a custom token, but now they and the token symbol have disappeared. Very strange.

There is no chance that they disappeared from your eth wallet without spending them.
Check your balance here: https://etherscan.io/ (just paste your eth wallet in search field).
If they are there then you just need to add custom token to your MEW wallet again. I think this is the solution to your problem because when you add custom token to your wallet displaying of that token is just saved in your browser.

Let me guess - one of the massive cheaters who got paid twice by 'accident' while thousands of honest bounty participants got nothing?

'Obvious' - is just LOLworthy.
It has become obvious that ATS is a massive fuck-up, so far, and part of their behavior can only be explained by fraudulent intent.

And no, it was no 'airdrop'.
It was a promised reward for a newsletter sign-up and/or doing marketing for them.

I have recieved my 950 Tokens as promised but some of my friends Not received whom i refered but i am not bother about that but i  created youtube video and promoted my referral link got some good referal bonus.

HI, the same happened to me. I got my token as well, so I am quite happy about that, but people who used my referral link do not. It's quite difficult to explain to them what happened and why....

[chicobr]

I received my token too and sell all in etherdelta. price look so cheap but still better than nothing

[HotCold]

I still haven't gotten my 150 tokens which is unfortunate. Hopefully they make good on their promise.

[blockchainmarketus]

I referred only one friend of mine - looks like I am a scamer as I received nothing.

no reaction from ATS

You can't expect anything from ATS, they are indicated to scam bounty hunters, it is their target to lie to the bounty, they will get free promotion from bounty, I suggest never expect ATS they won't pay you anything.
