i can confirm as a privcy team member that this campaign has nothing at all to do with us. you should avoid it to stay clear of getting scammed. the poster is removing all warning posts in his thread. this alone rings alarm bells. please do not get involved

[shasan]

As further as I know Privcy is not a new token  and also they are not new on bitcointalk. So, it is not possible that they will run a signature campaign by a new account. So, everyone should be careful about it and DT should take action against the campaign poster.

Its look obvious scam to me. I have made a post on reputation with more details , https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5074438.msg48161569#msg48161569

Those bunch of people really needs signature campaigns in expectation to get accepted by first come first serve without even reading the whole thread and considering the rank of OP and its trust.

Apply first.
Research later.
Withdraw if fishy.

That's the way I (and most sig renters) roll. Ref

You're doing a good job at informing people. Keep it up. Just tone down the attitude. Everyone wants to earn money, its a basic necessity mate. You can't sit on your high horse and judge people for doing what they can (with honesty) to earn and fill their pockets.

Almost 80% people do not check anything before participate and even after participate. They check when they do not get payment. Every participant should check a project before applying on a campaign.

I agree people should double check before or when the campaign is ongoing and not after the campaign is finished, this has happened to me several times and immediately left when I smell something fishy it's great to know that people are helping one another to track these scammers.

Anyway, forgive me with the attitude. I just a bit annoyed of what I saw from that thread.

And it looks the OP is really active in deleting such negative post on his signature campaign but never even make a single reply on that thread lmao.

Excuse me, who are you?

Is that all you can say with all the accusations of a fake signature campaign, you should address this issue actually this is the first time I read about a fake bounty campaign from a legit project I still don't know if a whale is doing this to sell his bags.

They can sign message to prove they have funds to pay signature participants and as they are brand new account they should definitely use escrow for this, instead of removing posts from people who are questioning this service.

I still don't know if a whale is doing this to sell his bags.

If it is not the team then it has to be someone else
Irrelevant, in my opinion.

Let's assume the campaign does not pay out. What's the next course of action? The op has already been tagged and it doesnt seem to be deterring users from trying to join the campaign.

IMO users are sorta helping to promote a scam and face possible rage themselves. Noone is doing their due diligence at all. They just seen a sig campaign pop up and are looking for a spot.

Who's being scammed here if the campaign doesnt pay? All possible investors correct? This could be a tactic by a big holder to try and gain interest on the project so they can dump their coins off for as much as possible.

I dont want to say it should not be allowed for a newbie account to make a signature campaign or anything but I think we are seeing the red flags with their actions to replies in the thread.

What if it's someone from their real team? Should the team be tagged for not trying to warn users this is not from them?

Honestly, I think the Self-Moderation privilege should be withdrawn from ranks below Full Member to curb some of these essences.

I don't think we have to go to that far. It's quite easy to create a new thread and inform others that your warning message has been deleted from a thread. Most of the time DT member is very active on tagging suspicious users. Not only that, high ranks doesn't mean they won't scam. What's the basis to decide Full Member/Member or so? I don't think there is enough justification to do that.

[Alone055]

Any user joining the campaign, posting for them and not getting paid is responsible himself since the red trust on the profile of the manager makes it crystal clear that the campaign is not legit.

Someone should not just blindly join a signature campaign and promote almost anything for the sake of a few bucks which are nothing else but an illusion which they would realize once the week comes to an end. A minor look at the manager and the reviews and facts about the campaign is worth the time you might spend promoting the project without getting anything in return. People need to understand such basic things, only then such acts won't make a difference for the community.

That I agree I hate to see a lot of newbies creating a self-moderation thread some of these are airdrops coins and because people do not like these airdrops coins because of their being useless coins, they are questioning it, but these newbies keep deleting it.

I agree with this, this kind of fake campaigns will not be successful if no one is supporting them.
As a participants we should be aware of scams because we might become an accessories of a crime especially if a certain campaign is created to generate funds from the community and the public.

[cizatext]

With all evidence pointing out that this campaign is a scam campaign since it not coming from the privcy team and the campaign is being posted by a newbie account and not just a newbie but account created on the same day the campaign was posted, and less we forget this is not the first time a scam campaign is being initiated in the name of privcy team and I think the persons behind all this action will not be far from the team may be he/she is out to get people to invest in the token in other for him to be able to dump the coin once it is pump leading to investors losing they money. The team really need to investigate this and come out with a lasting solutions.

And it could be free advertisement, if people will look again at the thread some users doesn't even care removing the signature and still hoping or a spot despite of a big red flag all over the thread.

Should the team be tagged for not trying to warn users this is not from them?

I guess someone of the team posted on the thread and got deleted, but someone take a screenshot for that which can be seen at OP.

Yes, they posted there, the OP removed the post, the screenshot is here or on 1st post of this thread.
