Hello there,
First of all, I don't fit the criterias.. I tried to create my custom trust-list this week however isn't easy, you add one guy (DT0) and have to remove a lot of users (DT1-2)..
Our community is small, there's like 30 active users at its maximum, it's hard to see scammers, sometimes we find a translator doing a crap job however @Lauda always tagged them quickly..
And now @Adriano (local mod) is on DT2, so I think it's enough.
So portuguese will scam other people if they can make a buck this way?
they may know X project is scam, so they'll just ignore ( will not create an ANN thread in the Scam Accusations section and will not leave negative feedback ). look at how many scam ICOs are reported and how many guys in the local Portuguese section report Scam ICOs
It's hard to judge, there's different types of scam.. eg: you can create an ICO and send 1k ETH to the smart contract address and tell that you already raised 1k when you just sent 1k ETH to yourself.. Isnt it a scam? I don't know, maybe you can have a good product behind that shady behavior..
There's projects with a crap product, eg: we'll sell dust to aliens.. well, the employees will receive their salaries until the money runs out.. Is it a scam? I don't know, maybe you just have a bad product..
Some projects have a lot of red flags and they surprise you.. It's hard to judge.. You have to waste a lot of time and sometimes you can't tell if the project is legit or not..
As a translator, if the project is a scam then you'll be scammed too because you'll waste your time/energy for nothing..
I used to spend time checking ICOs..
Hello Lauda,
Can you please take a look on this ICO? looks like a scam:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2157244.0"1500 ETH contributed so far":
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2157244.msg23105730#msg23105730However don't match with the contract address values:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x4830EDC293142F8Af4eE5AE26109Adb72A3D2dA8What's the deal with this ICO? Anyone got more info?
They raised over 1500 ETH already, but there is radio silence for almost 2 weeks now... nothing is happening on their Facebook, Twitter, Slack and the threads here....
I hope that things will work out positive, but i got a bad feeling about this one.
The ANN threadThe Bounty Threadmore:
no updates, dev does not respond, the Spreadsheet is not updated
what happened??
Well, no hard feelings....but i think they left the building....or they are really really busy... but there are 0 replies. 0 on slack, social media, nothing....
I am afraid of the worst...
Send to cryptodevil and/or open thread in Scam Accusations.
Hello Lauda, can you please review this ICO/devs?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1865997.300First time(11/05 maybe) they raised an really small amount on 1st day and postponed the start date and now they raised 500 BTC in one day without escrow or any address to check.
Thank you!
Hello.
Tagged both accounts. Very shady behavior and it is a high risk situation.
Sincerely,
Lauda
Hello again; now they put some ETH transactions from 48-60 days ago and the ICO just started few days ago, looks like 100% scam.
Posted. Will report to some other DT members. You should archive that post and the sheet (as they may alter it).
Yeah, sometimes we have to go beyond..
