That was not the first time.
We saw the exact same scam multiple time before.
The rules are clear :
The admins of this forum are NOT responsible for anything you do with your Bitcoins.
I invested 0.15 btc. what I will get is 1.5 Promethium, right? Please confirm.
I confirm that you lost 0.15 BTC like everyone in this thread.
To spot them it is quite easy :
1 ) There is an
IPO. You are asked to send money to an address. You could be more safe if there was an escrow but you must be sure that he is legit too. Even if there is an escrow, the people that send directly to the OP can still get scammed. The escrow can be a distraction.
2 ) The admin/OP has a
noob account and you know nothing about him. There is no way of finding him if it goes wrong. He has no reputation.
3 ) Most of the investors that pop up to invest are
noob account too (created by the admin). They are overly exited.
4 ) There is
no proof of work. You don't know if the admin has any skills. No work is show, no line of code, no technical details.
Ask a tricky technical question and the OP won't answer.
Sometimes there some "pictures/screenshots" but they are obviously fake, why would the admin not show the real software ? Because there is none.
