Scammers using Profile of High rank members to join social campaign of UNIFINITY

[cryptoaddictchie]

What Happened:
I just stumble on the spreadsheet of Unifinity Bounty campaign its like most of the high rank used to fill up form for registration. Now this is really alarming. I do hope the manager should be able to reject the application of those scammers who used our accounts for applying on their campaign.

This is the main reason for using proof messages. Sending proof messages is a rule for this bounty but i didnt see a slot for writing proof link on application form. This explains why they chose them to attack. We can find cheater's username if we check ethereum adresses (maybe).

i'm also there nay!

i really think bounty manager should check it all to see if we have some post of authentication and if we didn't post an authentication, then we need to be taken out of that sheet.

the graphics of the project seem very unpro. this must be a scam project, just look at the team members. i'm a Filipino and this is a Filipino project yet the team members of this project aren't even Filipinos.

I wonder why they did not do that it was a big issue in the past when people were using other people's account so they can cheat bounty campaign, this is what happens when you have an incompetent bounty manager, not doing the right thing, this campaign will be messed up.

There's a possibility of double-entry in the article and video creation and even in the signature campaign

[Leviathan.007]

I'm also there...  
Thank you for let us know @cryptoaddictchie. The bounty manager should be more careful about these stuff. That's why they usually ask for proof of authentication.

[Kemarit]

Good that I'm not in the list, but damn, this has been practices in late 2017 and I thought bounty managers or should be all aware of this kind of fraud. And yet it is already 2020 and those cheaters still find way to use this old but effective fraudulent practice. I think we need the bounty managers to check everyone of his participants.

And thanks to the @cryptoaddictchie for a great job catching them. Checking the profile of the bounty manager, it seems to be his first time to handle a campaign and probably this is the reason why many cheaters where able to get in. But this is not an excuse and I do hope that he will reply on this thread.

[Arshe26]

The Bounty manager will see to it that all the given list will be check and all the participants who tried to cheat using an account that is not them will be disqualified.

Now this is really dissapointing. Some reputable accounts has been used for this. I will compile those addressed that has been used and reported it. ^{I know there is a way to report ethereum address used for cheating}

Now Im calling the attention of the bounty manager Edraket3 to inspect the applications cause if you check the thread there are no application on these high rank accounts.

Scammers ethereum address

Code:

Will work on compilation later for reporting

Thank you , Our Bounty team is now working on checking all valid participants. This is the reason why Authentication post is required. Ensuring that no cheaters will be accepted on this campaign

[aioc]

I'm sure these are old cheaters in the forum, those caught should be tagged I remember back 2018 my signature stake was awarded to a cheater because of triple entry using my Bitcointalk account with three different eth address in the entry, cheaters will always cheat if they find a way to do it, it's either you implement verification or proof of authentication.

[sheenshane]

Yeah right, I saw this kind of fraud way back year 2017 when I was active joining in some bounties campaign.
The only solution to this is to verify the authentication posted by the real account because not only twitter and Facebook are fake there, they also used a fake telegram account.

I saw mate @CryptopreneurBrainboss Bitcointalk name and profile there.

• telegram--@acelove8
• FB -- https://web.facebook.com/mdajhar.raj.98
• Twitter -- https://twitter.com/safeerh59520632

Which is the real telegram account of @CryptopreneurBrainboss is, @PedroBrainboss that you can found under on his Bitcointalk profile.
Good thing my name wasn't there.

Do you think how many dummies accounts in social media this cheater had?

[cryptoaddictchie]

Do you think how many dummies accounts in social media this cheater had?

Not just him, even a lot of users have different set of telegram and email attached to its high rank accounrs. Based on the current spreadsheet, the facebook participants are 422 and for Twitter is 404. But if we are going to compared the actual proof of authentication from real applicants, the thread is only three pages utmost. So there is possibility that he/they operate above 200 to 300 dummies more or less but chances it could be more

Just rough estimation. Its not helpful to note those telegram username cause they can just changed them anytime. But its worth doing to note those emails used and ethereum address so there are reference here in forum just in case they do it again on other campaigns.

Will comply too those email and eth address used

[crwth]

I appreciate you OP for taking the time to compile all of this. I was surprised when I'm mentioned in a "Scam Accusation" Board. But after reading the whole topic, I understood that my profile was applied to be used there. Unfortunately, the manager there is quite negligent with that. I'm not sure how I got there but there's no authentication post from me and I was still posted in the spreadsheet. I just don't understand how it happens to be there though.

The Google Sheet is in View Only. Unless the editor of that is also part of the scam or something. I don't know.

[btcltcdigger]

Fck it, i'll just tell BM to change the address to mine, and let the scammer do all the work

[LoyceV]

This is the main reason for using proof messages.

I'm pretty sure the main reason is bumping and spamming the thread. Otherwise it could be handled by PM, or via the user's Bitcointalk Profile.

Thank you , Our Bounty team is now working on checking all valid participants. This is the reason why Authentication post is required. Ensuring that no cheaters will be accepted on this campaign

Why don't you let them post their address in their profile? You can even use Google Docs spreadsheet to scrape the data, so they'll be instantly accepted or rejected after joining. You'll save yourself a lot of time that way, and reduce spam on the forum.

[AB de Royse777]

Thank you , Our Bounty team is now working on checking all valid participants. This is the reason why Authentication post is required. Ensuring that no cheaters will be accepted on this campaign

And this encourages spamming. As loyceV said, ask them to add their address in the profile. Some bad guy used my name too. Nuke them !!! :-P

[NeuroticFish]

It's not the first campaign I see my name in, like this.
Glad to see they're nuked now, at least the campaign manager did react pretty fast after this was uncovered.

[Bitcoinislife09]

Seems like the manager already rejected a lot of the participant. My name is on the list and the Facebook profile that is link is not mine so clearly, there is someone using a lot of our profiles. The application should be posted in the bitcointalk account so that the manager could confirm it. The registration for the Facebook campaign is just using google docs and anybody could use anyone username in bitcointalk the manager should know it already but it was fine since a lot of participants were rejected already. It seems like they been doing this for a long time or maybe only by one user is doing all of the applications that are rejected. Anyway, it guesses it didn't work at all but it was not great. What a great find the bounty was just June 2020 so a lot of people could go and attempt this its better that we are aware of it if someone attempts it again. Also, I think the proof message would be enough to be accepted as an applicant.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Fck it, i'll just tell BM to change the address to mine, and let the scammer do all the work

Good idea since they are fond of using other's account why not change to users address and let these scumbags cry for the reward their work for.

Some bad guy used my name too. Nuke them !!! :-P

Got rejected already mate. I didnt know that your a girl dude based on your facebook profile Royse777 Facebook Profile  damn scammers didnt know how to recognize name and just add random facebook.

It's not the first campaign I see my name in, like this.
Glad to see they're nuked now, at least the campaign manager did react pretty fast after this was uncovered.

Yes. Probably they already recognized they were rejected cause if no one noticed they may add some more participants account.

[smyslov]

A lot of accounts should be investigated here, we can trace who owns those Facebook accounts or twitter accounts linked to a specific account here in Bitcointalk and tagged all these accounts, it's bounty manager's fault why this thing happens, he should know that there, a verification post is important so the entry can be validate now they have to fix their mistakes.

How you will investigate the facebook and twitter account if the scammer just submit a random profile there by collecting from internet? I visited some profiles few minutes ago and see most of the accounts that has not a crypto related post in the past. So that means the scammer just put it and he/she also does not know the real user of that facebook/twitter accounts. So I think you can not get any good result by this way.

Only The bounty manager can reduce this. And this the bounty manager responsibility. When all bounty manager will be aware of it and reject all the suspicious applications then they will automatically stop this ways to scam.
