The project is engaged in scam. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2241037.0  They do not answer specific questions. When the participants said that the project was a scam, newbie always appeared in the branches and took the topic away. Constantly the same.

It sure does rather looks suspicious looks like they up to something no good. This should be further avoided in order for others not get fooled by these kind of activities so that they won't  steal someones hardwork. Are there any like audit here in the forum in charge of looking at these kind of activities in order for them to stop spreading and damaging the imagebof bitcoin and other alternative  coins.

[endlasuresh]

I am a member to this bounty program, but seeing this thread might something fishy. They said softcap already reached, but most of the projects are getting easily to reach their targets.

[CounterStrike]

Yep looks like a scam.

[GeorgeLW70]

Yeah,guys ,it looks like scam. I checked that so much ICO projects are scams now. I propose to fight them with the help of audit reports, thus investors seeing the report will be calm for their savings. What do you think?

[ron_mexico]

Indeed looks weird.

Have a look at the stats of the ICO contract of Coinlancer: https://icomonitor.io/#/0xe81d72d14b1516e68ac3190a46c93302cc8ed60f

There seem also to be some major issue with the transparency of the ICO contract.

HELP ME

Hello Bitcointalk forum. I am NguyenTuqh from Quy Nhon.

I just created this account to publish a conversation I had with John from the customer support.
I invested quite a lot of money in Coinlancer. Recently many bad new came across me like the poor rating from ICOrating and many other rating agencies, the very bad and poor Beta version they released. At the beginning many posts were made in this forum but since Nov. 23 nobobdy is writing anything in this thread. I check the old posts and now i also have the feeling that theses posts were generated bi bots.
I contacted John because i had sam questions. At first John seems to be a really nice guy and I really like him, but he was not able to answer my serious questions.
I really have big trouble, if I lose my money, because I have abig family to feed. I want to share this with you because I think everybody should know the information I got from John.

John told me that they suffer heavy technical problems. I think potential investors should know about this, because you are running an ICO but you suffer heavy problems.
I confronted John with this https://etherscan.io/token/tokenholderchart/0xe81d72d14b1516e68ac3190a46c93302cc8ed60f  and this https://ethplorer.io/address/0xe81d72d14b1516e68ac3190a46c93302cc8ed60f#tab=tab-holders . A colleague shared this with me. This really scares me alot. It shows that one address is holding nearly all of their tokens! John was not able to answer this to me and this still scare  me alot and I think my money may be lost forever. I also asked John to share the email of their CEO with me, but he has no contact data at all from the CEO. He was even not able to grant me that his CEO even exists. Maybe this sounds paranoid, but I am becoming really crazy with this story. I really cannot sleep because of this... Please if someone can help.

Me: Hi

John: Hi there Thanks for reaching out. How may I help you today?

Me: I just checked your bitcointalk thread. Why is there nothing going on since Nov. 23? It seems like this project is already dead? Did you quit already?

John: We do apologize! We are suffering technical problems lately.

Me: which problems? I would like to know because i invested. I am a bit scared what is going on currently with your project.

John: I have answers in mind that I'm not sure of, so I would like to get them confirmed first thing to provide you the accurate answers. I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible within the day. Feel free to send over some more, so I can collate everything.
Please bear with us!

Me: I also checked your rating of ICOrating recently. They are basically saying that you are scam. I am really worried...

John: We are definitely not a scam.

Me: But they are saying and many other rating agencies too. Please provide me with evidence, because I cannot sleep because of this investment. I am scared that i lose everything...
I also tried to contact your CEO, but he is ignoring everything. I tried to get in touch with him via linkedIn. I am not hearing anything. I have a family to feed. Please help

John: I understand that you are having doubts with us
I understand that you'd like to know more about it.. Let me check this backstage for you.

Me: John you are a nice guy. Thank you! Please let me know if you have serious problems, because if I lose everything I am really ruined. This was my first ICO i ever participated and now I am really sad. I hope you can help me

John: I'm currently discussing this now with our team. I'll be needing time to get this information for you. 

Me: I also joined your beta test, because I wanted to join as freelancer. I am really disappointed with it, because it doesnt look like the pictures you presented on telegram and on the webpage at all. It looks really bad... I invested when you told that you will launch the final product directly after the ICO but now the ICO goes 2 months and there is no viable product at all. As you told me already there are many thing that can make me doubt. Please check everything with your team, because you can really harm many people if you fail.

John: I understand that you value your investment and we also do as much as we value our clients. No worries, the ICO ends on December 15th and our team is working round the clock for the success of everyone.
On the other hand, we've raised $ 11650013. This is good enough to sustain and keep the company running. Don't lose hope, we still have time to reach out to some more investors and freelance community

Me: ICOrating raised doubts that it could be that you never raised $ 11650013. Please provide me with evidence that there is the money somewhere. I really don't know what to do at the moment, because nobody of your bosses is answering me. I am really scared John. Please understand me.
John I am so scared right now because a colleague just sent me this link https://etherscan.io/token/tokenholderchart/0xe81d72d14b1516e68ac3190a46c93302cc8ed60f

John: I understand that you are scared now, but please bear with us as we fix everything.

Me: Who are this tokenholders and why nearly all tokens are held by a single account? I thought you sold about 11 million... Please tell me that this is somehow normal
Please John Please tell me what is going on in this chart...

John: We totally understand you. I have a family too who needs me. Right now, you just need to trust that this will work. It's normal to think about your investment like in any other investments.

Me: John please look at this chart. This cannot be normal. Please you have to describe this to your investors. I cannot trust you blindly. There must be a description for this

John: We're afraid we can't provide you the invoices or transaction IDs of those who invested as a proof. This is for everyone's security.

Me: I mean this: https://etherscan.io/token/tokenholderchart/0xe81d72d14b1516e68ac3190a46c93302cc8ed60f
look at this please! What is going on here???
Why is one address holding nearly all tokens? Please be honest with me. Will i lose all my money?
Please tell me so I have time to be prepared for it
Have you checked with the team?
Please get back to me today otherwise I am really forced to publish this conversation, because you cannot collect money from other people during having massively technical problems so that even the community manager is not able to write anything in the bitcointalk thread. I really like you personally, but please understand me that other people have to be protected. I am from Vietnam and my family will be ruined if my money is lost

John: We will check this to you backstage and get back to you in a day.

Me: Can you give me the email or any other contact of your CEO please
 
John: info@coinlancer.io

Me: that is a joke now?
John can you please give me the mail of the CEO? This mail is not the mail of the CEO. I contacted this mail several times. It is just some community manager and he is not answering me most of the time.
Please understand me. I did some research on the web but I cannot find anything about your CEO. Please tell me that he even exists. Have you ever met him in reality.
Maybe I am paranoid John, but this whole thing really scares me right now

John: We understand your situation,kindly request the email of ceo at that email.

Me: I already tried that they are not answering
Why you cannot give it to me?

John: our supervisor should reply

Me: Other CEOs have the mails public on the webpage. What is the problem here?

John: We do not t have that.

Me: John you really scare me. Why you are not able to give me the email of the CEO?
You must have any contact information about the CEO. How are you contacting him?
Please give me anything. email, skype, telegram, whatsapp, please just any contact

John: We only have that email,

Me: Have you ever met the CEO?
OMG John please tell me that you have evidence that your CEO exists
I invested nearly all of my savings in this project. John please help me
I cannot pay back my debts if this money is lost. I will get killed here maybe John please you have to stay with me now. Nobody is answering me of your team. I tried everything. Please if you have any contact of other persons from this project please share it with me

John: We will get back to you in a day as we fix this , Thank you!

Me: Please tell me if your CEO exists!!!
I will not wait a day until you answer this
I will lose everything because of this project. Please show some heart You should not treat people who trusted you like shit...

John: Yes Ofcourse!

Me: do you have evidence?
you do not have a email from him or anythiing. How will you be sure?

John: The ceo runs the business
we have the job because of him

Me: but you do not have his email.. Please John be honest with me

John: We will get back to you in a day as we fix this , Thank you!

Me: I will publish this conversation right now!!!!
You have no soul or anything. How dare you to deceide poor people to lose all of their money! Shame on you all!
I will lose everything because of your fraud! My family, my money everything will be gone because of this! SHAME ON YOU!
I do not understand how you can do this...

Please can someone help me

I lost all my money to them. Nobody is answering me from their team. I think their CEO is not a real person. I dont know what to do ... I need this money
Does someone know people who can help me

I am REALLY hoping that you did not actually send money you needed to survive to this group. If they are a scam or not isnt the issue, its more that you took a huge risk with money you could not afford to loose.

Also, I have worked for many different companys over the years. The end user person is not gonna give out the personal email cell phone number address or anything else on the CEO. That would just not happen.
These were big legit companies, and the CEO didn't read his own email anyways...

I'm not saying its a scam, i'm not saying the followers of the project are fake... but look at the people who are posting as followers.

Lots of foreigners... If you look at the profiles of those followers, you will see they look like fake accounts. 30 pics on the account, lots of duplicate pictures, the different pics of the users are wearing the same clothes in different places. Some of the pics of the people posted wearing the same clothes with the same exact haircut and accessories posted months apart. Some of the comments show a clear lack of education however they are right up at the forefront of blockchain technology...



Plus, you can buy Facebook followers and likes for your project. It isn't that hard.

I dont know if this is legit or not, but I dont like the research that I found after just a few min... just saying

I think you are getting it wrong there is no specific wallet for a single for the ico. Each ico participants have their own unique wallet to make payment through their ico partner @ https://www.coinpayments.net. I don't get your point.

They ICO ended yesterday and in a week you will see that I was right as their branch will be clogged with questions where the team went)))

[FreelaBit]

Well, here is the answer why we never runned an ICO for our project.

[warningsigns]

I’m reading the comments above and it’s a sad tale of a scam in the making. The big crash is yet to come but I’m impressed to see some of you with enough brain power left to recognize and finally accept the elaborately woven web of fraud here. For that, you get my applause but nothing more.

They have your money and it would be short of a miracle if they later turn out to be a genuine ICO. By the looks of it, there will be no miracle this month, next month, next year. Ever.

To our Vietnamese friend above who might have invested his entire life assets on this “project”, I do not want to break it to you prematurely but you have to brace yourself for the big S. This has all the colors of a scam. Be strong and try to weather the growing storm.

The ICO should have ended long time ago, but it wasn't and they made one more month to go. Actually why do these guys need investors when they knew such a profitable ICO.
Did you checked from where is the CEO or marketers, managers?

[warningsigns]

I suspect they are deliberately prolonging or delaying this to fleece as many investors (now defined as victims) as they possibly can. Nobody has officially outed them yet as a scam so they still have a window of opportunity here... until now. But not everyone will read this thread so there is room for more coins to flow into their hot wallet.

Ironic that they branded their project Coinlancer. They did live up to their name, "lanced" all your coins with surgical precision indeed.

[tpluu2207]

I think every ICO listing page should stop listing this token immediately!

There is everywhere evidence that this is a pure scam project.
* Tokens are already floating around without any reason
* The tokens that are floating around a far less than $11M, just about 300,000USD
* One address holds 97% of all the tokens
* Just lying from the beginning. Please check the first version of their homepage -> http://web.archive.org/web/20171005070449/http://www.coinlancer.io/
    * in the archived site you can see that they told that they will launch the product on Nov. 15th -> Now is December and they just launched a sh*tty beta
    * in the archive you can see the original team -> just 4 scammers and 3 scam advisors -> Now they have over 30 sh*tty members
*there are no statemets or anything from their CEO. No pictures from him on FB or anywhere. Nobody knows if this guy even exists.
*they have "lorem ipsum"-code on their webpage. Seems like the homepage is just copied from another project
*there is no address to check how high their funding really is. The sum is f*cking hard-coded on their webpage!!!
*They extended the ICO by 1 f*cking month without any reason or statement.


Shame on coinschedule for listing them as gold!
Coinschedule, you are just looking for money! Because of your gold listing people will invest in this scam! Can't you do a short audit before gold listing a project?
I really think there should also start a discussion about these listing pages!!! Newbies think that a gold or silver listing means that the ICO is endorsed!

Also shame on HitBTC for starting trading them! I know that HitBTC just wants money! Give them half a million and they list your sh*t!!!


This is all not good for the cryptocommunity and really painful to watch

Everybody who is really interested in the long-term success of Ethereum and the Blockchain innovations should start shaming and reporting such projects!
Start with sharing my list of evidences on Twitter, Facebook, VK or anywhere and please contact listing pages and trading platforms to take this scams down!

You were right. I was also wondering why Coinschedule listed Coinlancer as gold badge. Turn out they received money from marketing program to do so. I contacted them to clarify and here is their answer.

"Thanks for alerting us to this.  Yes we are working very hard to reduce scams, its our main goal for our next update, it’s a very big problem to solve and we have been working for many months to solve this in a scalable manner.

 

As you might understand, we get 100’s of ico submissions a week and its taking some time to build a system and procedure that can handle them.  You have to understand that the ICO business has blown up, it took us by surprise, we are playing catch up.

 

We hate scammers, it’s not like we are promoting them on purpose, also as per our T & C, the Platinum, Gold and Silver do not reflect on the quality of the ICO, they are just paid marketing packages.  We will be releasing a system that will show quality of ICOs within the coming months.  This will be where we do some research and due diligence on the projects.

 

Please do not think GOLD Project = Easy Money, its not like that, always do lots of research.

 

Regards

Majid

Thank you for contacting them

I think I can understand them somehow.

The real big problem here seems to be HitBTC. Many told me that they invested, because the token was already listed. A listing on an exchange can be definitely seen as some kind of endorsement. I talked to some ICO entrepreneurs and they told me that you just have to pay HitBTC the right amount of money, then they list everything.

In these days money is important for them to list any ICO either they were scam or semi scam etc.  I am seeing everyday a lot of ICO's exchangers just like PTC programs. People need to research or read this forums before investing and I also promoted Coinlancer, still not yet known who is the developer.
