Domain is 50 days old and I couldn't find any kind of information about pitcheum:

Dates    50 days old
Created on 2018-08-06
Expires on 2019-08-06
Updated on 2018-08-11

They can't be found on coinmarketcap, but still they have chart dated from October, 2017:



I wonder why 520$ worth coin can't be found.

Their donation addy (as written, 0x12E836eFDa581d113c7609b88254aEb12E617e0D)...



...is redirecting to this site: http://lymcoin.ancorathemes.com/donation/177r3vcah3azabiqjfpmcrscp6tdzedub1/ which is I believe template.


Doing some research on pitcheum donation address(0x12E836eFDa581d113c7609b88254aEb12E617e0D), I have found contract creator https://etherscan.io/address/0x5a99f4592b0f78b5a1221b6604e3f631b0a3bf71
Both PCN and SUNX were created from this addy.


But what is sunx? I have found this information about them at ICObench, their co-founder and developer failed KYC test https://icobench.com/ico/sunxcoin which is pretty much good sign something is wrong.



I have located Sunx's announcement thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4073397.0 posted by sunxapp and their bounty thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4456229.0 archived was managed by, well.... newsilike.

Quick looking at their posting history, they managed bounty for this scam https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4986999.msg44989870#msg44989870 as well.

Hiroshi Muratomo appears to be this person:

PerMed Holdings: No connection found - Which country? US, DE? US = no website, facebook is empty, DE=No connection to this person.
Nuel Ojei Holdings Limited = Website is offline - we know many scams come out from that country, I would not be surprised if this company was a scam.
Toyota North America = no connection found about this person working for this company.

Hi

thanks for great finding i am not online so not able to take down there bounty ..

thanks bounty has been now taken down  ..

That for great finding and help many will not fell in to there trap

[bakasabo]

If it will be confirmed, that SunX ICO is also a scam project, should I start to worry about my trust ?
I have participated in their social media bounty campaigns and posted few reports on the bounty topic. Post were made long before this topic appeared.
Wont this considered to be as "an act of promoting a scam ICO" ?

[marlboroza]

should I start to worry about my trust ?

No.

I am pretty sure some newbie account will show up and give perfectly logical explanation to beat this.

[The Cryptovator]

Snip

Don't act like baby. Fix your quote first otherwise you will get ban.

sir manage multiple bounty so get so many pm that even if i am online checking all not possible in one day or sometime take time so i replied to your after some time yes late little bit ..

I expect you will never do this mistake agin .  At least you should check pm. May be it's important. You are not forum admin, you are bounty manager. So may be anyone could pm you.

sir you can see bounty thready so many reply so checking the correct one and reply to that before you have given red trust ..that also take time  

Marlboroza reply on your ANN Thread, not on bounty thread. And his reply was first reply. Don't try to be innocent. I will not believe that first reply you didn't read. How you just leave after made a thread ?
Still you aren't locked or delete ANN Thread. Archived for reference.

->> sir there are so many project that can be scam after they generated fund ..so it difficult to find out ..as per them still they are not scam ..but may be scam ..so even after finding and checking all reply form user i immediately close there bounty sir  .
  

You are not got tagged for exit scam. You got tagged for ongoing scam, especially for fake team.

Over all you are lier. Just want to show fake excuse. I don't know how you became bounty manager ! even you don't know how to quote and reply. I think even you don't know what is DT and who is DT  That's why you underestimate.

[zauna35]

Yes , a Scam(

[bitcnatsu]

*** I am bounty hunter and I really like the  every project of Newsilike, maybe just this mistake he wasnt be able to investigate this project thorougly.
I just want to comment on this guy, Because he is acting a like star here.

Don't act like baby. Fix your quote first otherwise you will get ban.


***Just a CONCERN CITIZEN HERE,,I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK DUDE, Don't talk  if you are not an admin of this  forum (this case is between DT and the bounty manager and you don't have the right to TALK and say "YOU WILL GET BANNED, I am pissed and annoyed of your f**ing mouth, To think you are just a moron who WANTS  an attention of the DT maybe you want to get promoted.


I expect you will never do this mistake agin .  At least you should check pm. May be it's important. You are not forum admin, you are bounty manager. So may be anyone could pm you.

*** What you will expect? are you that important ? and first thing first you need to be very careful of what actions you had done. and besides you are just also a  member here trying to attach their selves on the forum administration and get merit, maybe?  Please dude let the DT member handle this situation and if you have any comment the comment just like a normal member here., Don't try to pretend and act like you are one of them(as if you have done something very good on this forum and give benefits to this forum . I believe marlboroza has his own idea and knowledge to handle this situation.( He don't want your idea, LOL)

You are not forum admin, you are bounty manager. So may be anyone could pm you.

***********It seems you are just  looking for  an attention!!! It looks like you classified who is on the higher position and who are those on less position. Please Don't add anything are'nt good to read, Coz you are just giving a dirt on the FORUM ADMINISTRATION and on their judgement. Don't be arrogant and lastly Dont talk if you dont have anything  good to say, OKAY?
 You are free whatever you want to comment but you dont have the right to put the judgment in your hands. Just like us we jus read and pass by  coz this  was handle by the DT members and we respect their position. Dont sugar coat your lines unless you are that important. You are a scourge of society and you are one of the neighbors who do nothing good.  

[morvillz7z]

Seems like they have a brand new advisors: archived

you don't have the right to TALK and say "YOU WILL GET BANNED

You might end with both accounts banned if you don't figure out how to properly quote messages...just saying.

I believe marlboroza has his own idea and knowledge to handle this situation.( He don't want your idea, LOL)

How did you come to that conclusion?

I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK DUDE

We don't like caps either but that is irrelevant, right?. In order to be able to state your opinion you have to be an admin?

I am pretty sure some newbie account will show up and give perfectly logical explanation to beat this.

LOL. Something like that. An overly concerned newbie account trying to defend the bounty manager.  

[marlboroza]

From where did you get that picture? I still see old advisors.
It seems Sumit Kumar Pradhan changed his face, he looks like "older-male-with-beard-smiling" from pexels team.

LOL. Something like that. An overly concerned newbie account trying to defend the bounty manager. 

I have crystal ball 
Looking at it now....I see something in shadows....some random numbers....1-3-0-2....could it be 2-0-1-3? Year 2013?

So how this:

Then get the fuck out man.
Couldn't be more irrelevant.
I haven't seen ONE example of someone who's against NXT while delivering founded reasons to have disbelieve in it.

become this:

sir manage multiple bounty so get so many pm that even if i am online checking all not possible in one day or sometime take time so i replied to your after some time yes late little bit

so even after finding and checking all reply form user i immediately close there bounty sir  .
for this -ve even after i found out and solve the issue .. can you check it take care

Was this proven scam?
I came across this thread yesterday so I had to ask newsilike to oay me in eth instead for the signature he requested me to make and he claims that it isn't.

Most likely you are a signature designer. So why you accept payment by token ? There are any guaranty that they will never scam ? A manager how give you gurranty that they will not scam and they legit. Is he a part of this ICO? Don't waste your time for worthless token. If you are signature designer than you should ask pay by btc or eth. Don't accept token as payment this kind of project. Especially for all ICO you should asked they pay by btc.

OP, sorry for going offtopic.

Hi! I am a signature designer and I do accept only btc and eth as payment but since newsilike has been a customer of mine for quite some time, I sometimes accept tokens as payment from him with a different rate. We had an agreement in that case.

I posted this here just to confirm and also to add information that Sumit Kumar might be lying. If that's the case, adding a negative feedback on his account might be necessarry.

I am not sure what you mean by that. What is Sumit Kumar lying about and where is his forum account?

I am also not sure what newsilike mean when they say "both are not scam for now" 

What proof do you need more than 1) Advisor said he is not part of the team 2) Plagiarism 3)500+ worth token nowhere to be found 4) Team fail KYC test 5) both bounties managed by newsilike 

Did someone came here to show proof that they are not scam and to beat this thread? No.
