[LIST] ANN threads that are using bumping services

[Rikafip]

Despite bump changes in altcoin board, thread bumping still goes on. It is not as effective as it used to be, but it is nevertheless annoying, and what is even worse, it might fool less experienced users, especially since some ICO trackers (e.g. ICObench) even give rating based on ANN activity.  I've been planning to make list like this for a last month or two, and I kept postponing it, but i guess it is better late than never.

In this topic i plan to keep all those announcement threads that are either using some external bumping services, or they are using their own sock puppet accounts in order to fake interest. List would be too big  if I  included all those that did that in the past (even recent one),  so I will focus only on those that are doing it at the moment, and from now on.

Since we can't do much against those projects that are opting for this "marketing technique" other than reporting their posts, thread like this might help in that regard  for all of us that keep reporting  their fake conversations and shill posts, and to have  all of them in one topic, constantly updated.

I found same discussion regarding bump services or fake volume ANN thread here
i saw you don't list another thread that were suspected of using bump services. please add this thread to your list:

ILCOIN ANN thread
proof: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235169

Pyro network ANN thread
Old thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215017.0 (locked)
New thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221130.0
the funny thing is the dev clearly saying if he use a service that he call a "marketer" or in other words use bump services. 

MADANA ANN thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4796017.msg53916938#msg53916938
Starting pages number 11 to the rest, you will see the the dates gap more than six month from last post and these thread become the place shit poster from newbies.

i will update if i found new one.

[sujonali1819]

Great job OP. Thanks for listing these threads in one place so that people would become aware of these shady projects. But I missing something here. Maybe you should add the links where people are discussing it. I mean a thread link that is previously created in Reputaion.

[Rikafip]

ILCOIN ANN thread
proof: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235169

I considered adding ILCoin to the list as it was recently discovered that they are using one of those services, but since their ANN is locked now and they can't continue with that practice, there is no point to add them now.

Pyro network ANN thread
MADANA ANN thread

Both of these are indeed bumping their threads via fake conversations, but they are inactive for some time, and as  I mentioned in the first post, i focused on those that are currently active. But I'll keep an eye on both of these that you mentioned, and if they reactivate, I'll add them.

i will update if i found new one.

Thank you, I appreciate all the help!

[sujonali1819]

You can take a look on [ANN] BURSTEX.io - Crowd Owned Exchange - Profits Shared Among Token Holders
Most of the Crybet Ann bumpers were bumping Burstex.io ann thread with unnecessary replies. Most probably Burstex.io also used the bump service. But not sure.

[Rikafip]

You can take a look on [ANN] BURSTEX.io - Crowd Owned Exchange - Profits Shared Among Token Holders
Most of the Crybet Ann bumpers were bumping Burstex.io ann thread with unnecessary replies. Most probably Burstex.io also used the bump service. But not sure.

Yeah i know about Burstex, they definitely used bumping services, i reported their activities 2 months ago in SpamBuster thread. Looks to me like they stopped 10 days ago so I won't include them for now, but that can always change.


Update:
New ANN added to the list. Same accounts that were working on Burstex and Crybet are now working on the HEX.
[ANN] HEX - Investment platform of the new generation

[Rikafip]

3 new ANNs added to the list:

[ANN] Emirex Official - The Infrastructure for the New Digital Economy
Emirex has been using bumping services for quite some time. Bunch of their posts were reported and  deleted, accounts tagged etc, but they don't give up, they just keep churning out new posts no matter what.

[ANN] 🔶🔶🔶 Prizm Cash - SAME SAME, BUT DIFFERENT 🔶🔶🔶
Prizm Cash ANN is new, but they already started with bumping services. Accounts that are active there are also writing on several others from the list, like ROMAD, Weemat, SUR, EDC Blockchain. Same thing is going on in Prizm ANN located in the Russian board.

[MainNet Stage] Cocos-BCX‘s First Batch of 38 Ecosystem Buidlers & Angels List
Cocos-BCX has old ANN thread where they massively used bumping services for months, despite reports and tags, but they stopped with that some time ago. What's even worse is that they were doing that while they are listed on the Binance. That just shows how you can't trust some project just because you can trade their tokens on known exchange. You simply have to do your own due dilligence.

[TopTort777]

You can add [ANN]🌱TreeCoin 🌿 Зeлёный Пapaгвaй для зeлeнoгo бyдyщeгo 🌱 to the list. Topic is in russian language, but it is obvious that it is filled with newbie account Q&A all the time. Bumping has stopped after all the newbie account got negative trust and OP was warned to be redtrusted if bumbing doesnt stop. Project has english ANN, but is it silent.

Bumping has stopped after all the newbie account got negative trust and OP was warned to be redtrusted if bumbing doesnt stop. Project has english ANN, but is it silent.

Good to hear that you managed to stop those spammers by tagging them. But since they stopped, no point including them on the list now. Maybe that could be a solution, tagging the account who created ANN until he forces them to stop.


Since this thing is going on in the local boards as well, there are 2 new additions to the list, Russian versions of the ANNs that were previously on the list, SUR and PZM Cash, same group accounts of accounts that are bumping English threads are doing in the Russian part as well.

[dkbit98]

Nice work OP.
I bet there a lot more of this bumping services  waiting to be discovered soon.
Maybe people can report them all here for update

[Rikafip]

I bet there a lot more of this bumping services  waiting to be discovered soon.

Yep, this list is just tip of a iceberg I think, plenty of more hiding and doing the same thing, waiting to be discovered. But I think that list is getting shorted compared to few months ago when I first started looking and reporting those thread bumpers.

Maybe people can report them all here for update

Of course, that's one of the goals of this thread, to try identify as many as possible, and for that you need help of the others.


Another ANN added to the list, thanks to @iasenko who reported one old thread that is being bumped for a  few years one, and made by questionable account.
[ANN][PRE-ICO] 🚀🚀 ModulTrade : The Freedom To Trade 🚀🚀

[Rikafip]

2 announcement threads added to the list.

🛡️ Cleobet.io - New licensed Bitcoin sportsbook - 🎁 100% deposit bonus
As explained in this post, it is pretty obvious that they hired the service to promote/defend their project.

[ANN][AAB] AAX - The World’s First Digital Asset Exchange by LSEG Technology
I reported their activities in Spambusters thread. Basically, bunch of newbie accounts conveniently woke up after some time, and suddenly writing in AAX thread, having those classic fake conversations.


I might start changing status of some ANN on the list from active to inactive,  as few (e.g. Crybet) are giving up it seems, after getting posts deleted and accounts tagged.

[Lauda]

First time I see this thread, very nice!

If you run an update, then we can evaluate which projects need to be flagged based off of your list.

[wwzsocki]

OP I think you should keep close attention to [CLUB] The SpamBusters... thread because with a lot of success we are investigating all sorts of abuse, especially bumping and other forms of spam.

There are constantly new ANN threads taking under the microscope and of course, many of them are obviously breaking the rules using alt accounts or bumping services.

I think it could be a good source of information to make this list of "ANN threads that are using bumping services" even more accurate.

Yeah I know about Spambusters, I've been active there for a few months now, since I started with spambusting/scambusting activities, and it is indeed a good place to  share findings and ask for advice. One of the few threads that are on my watchlist.


Update

Two announcement threads from the list changed their  status to "Inactive"

• Crybet stopped with their bumping activities 2 weeks ago, soon after being busted for plagiarized content, accounts tagged and bunch of posts deleted
• Cleobet decided to lock the thread, therefore no point being marked as active for now.

It is really hard to prove, but while researching one bump account I got to this topic [ANN] [EXCHANGE] Atomars - Fast and Secure Digital Assets Exchange Platform] (http://archive.is/CcWUM). I start reporting accounts but there are just so many of them. If they hired bump service they hired really bad one because most posts are something like "good project", so maybe they are doing this by themselves, who knows... Anyway, I am going to report all other accounts to mod gang.

Some of accounts use quotation bump, like these for example:



Good topic btw.

[Rikafip]

You can add the following ANN thread to your list.

[ANN][WSLT] White Stripe Lottery | Changing the view of gambling (Archived)

This one is definitely being bumped by sock puppet accounts, thanks, added to the list! It's interesting that they are using old accounts that just woke up in order to spam WSLT thread, and they are writing exclusively there. Who knows, maybe they think that way it's less suspicious..

It is really hard to prove, but while researching one bump account I got to this topic [ANN] [EXCHANGE] Atomars - Fast and Secure Digital Assets Exchange Platform] (http://archive.is/CcWUM).

Yeah this one is a bit harder to prove as they didn't bump much, and mostly did 1-2 posts with each account. Also, i couldn't find much connection between them, like working toegther on some other projects.

If they hired bump service they hired really bad one because most posts are something like "good project", so maybe they are doing this by themselves, who knows.

Yeah that might be the case too, as they mostly wrote just basic one-liners. Even if they did use bumping service, they are not doing it at the moment, it seems, so I will wait a bit to see what will happen and whether they reactivate before adding it to the list.

[Rikafip]

Three new announcement threads added to the list today:

1.[MASS] Decentralized HARD DRIVE mining cryptocurrency | PoC | Low Energy cost
Another ANN that hired known bump group that is working on several other threads.

2. [ANN][FUND]🚀🚀🚀A Smart Index Fund for everyone | BETAFUNDS 🚀🚀🚀
This is 2nd BetaFunds Ann, since they deleted first one after I reported them for plagiarized content. They removed plagiarized content, but something else was discovered by @morvillz7z- they have fake team member photos as well. For those that want to check more info and support the flag, here is the thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239245.0

3.[ANN] [CHND] CashHand (The Next Giant E-Commerce)
CashHand made ANN few months ago, but they started shilling their thread today with bunch of newbie accounts, and for some reason in Portuguese language


[MainNet Stage] Cocos-BCX‘s First Batch of 38 Ecosystem Buidlers & Angels List thread has been deleted, so their current status has been updated as well.
