Just sharing a website where you can report crypto scams

[cheezcarls]

Hello guys!

A friend of mine just shared this website to me: https://cryptoscamdb.org/report/

It lets you report those websites that are using ponzi and pyramiding schemes, ICO or any crypto-related scams, etc.

I truly believe this would really help us so that newbies and beginners will never fall into these scams. 

P.S. If this topic is not appropriate in Altcoin Discussion, feel free to move it to another section. Thank you.

I have heard of a similar service before i cannot recall the exact name perhaps it was something like cryptopolice, i think we need a comprehensive platform that keeps an eye on all the projects even new projects and also point out  if there is any kind plagiarism or any other red signal or suspicious thing present about it, idea should be to save as many people to fall for scam projects as much possible.

When it comes to knowing about scams projects, Ponzi scheme,  pyramiding schemes, and other crypto schemes, you can see them all in this forum in the Scam Accusations section because here I always look if the project that I invest is legit or not. But the site you have shared could still be useful for beginners and other crypto users.

This should be in the project development section, people who got scam should report it to sites like this and of course here in Bitcointalk because many people are looking here in Bitcointalk for projects that look scam and they want to see if projects that they are going to support or will support has a report here.

Posting there would be irelevant for those non forum users. I think its good that there are sites that we can report these scam projects. As you can noticed there are projects posted on that section but dont have bitcointalk associate or forum accounts. Means they dont know this place, only users here that seen some scam thread there would be aware. So OP's suggestion is good. Most probably there are other sites like this.

Thanks for sharing, I think robelneo is right, what he mentioned section looks perfect for this topic.

I like the idea of spreading the news about scam projects through websites and social media infact I wish crypto is scam free but what can be done after using the website? If all this is just to fill up the website space I'm not interested, actions need to be taken against scammers

Sharing is caring,this site might really save someone from losing their money but I am nost sure how much scam sites will be reported there.Even in bitcointalk where we have huge active member has less reported scams compared to the overall scam happenings.

Yes, and until now no action has been given to the scammers, they continue to be born and come up with new ideas to trap everyone, so everyone needs to protect themselves from the good offers that are provided by scammers in crypto.

A helpful site to aid and warn people on scam projects. But I think you need not to look further as our very own bitcointalk has a forum thread that discussion and verify scam projects as reported by users from different sources. I always check on the thread for new listings and projects to avoid.

[masterrex]

And how it will help to solve those scamming problems, by just reporting to that said site? unless that website has a police power or maybe has a legal connection with any government law enforcement agency etc. otherwise it's also useless like others, scammers are changing tactics and even disguised as a legitimate project some has even a foundation just to show that they are legitimate, Like DigitalBits they don't pay its bounty hunters and continue to hold their KYC data for what purpose! and now they even set up a foundation. how ironic.  

[Furious 7]

I often see scam projects and to see reports on fraud allegations there have been many that have been arrested by members of this forum so that they know more and discuss there than appeal by reporting on the website and I'm not the one who will follow up on it?

[Sirait]

Although the site cannot recover the losses of investors or bounty hunters, I appreciate the site as a scam crypto project discussion site.

for me the scope is wide, not only members in this forum can be involved in discussions, other people who have never joined the crypto community can learn something on the site.

And what will happen to the scam projects or scam artists who are responsible for the criminal acts? Hunt them down? This won't bring scammers down I guess so it's a complete waste of time, I'd rather ignore, unless there is something I'm missing here?

[ryzaadit]

A basic question.

How they decide to put a label for some website ICO to labelled the ICO was a scam. This could be same as a website who also labelled some address for some scam attempt and other things. To be honest, still not really helped random guys could be put fake information just because he doesn't like about the project and other things so mark them as scam project.

Is quite easy to see how a scam project, just based on their description, theme website and layout, community and social media for the basic research.

[thesmallgod]

It is very good. You can also have a relay showing update scam list. There are posts here also listing scam. The list might help to properly develop the platform by copying those scam project mentioned. Scam and accusations sections on BTT is always updated with new scam projects so it is also a resourceful place to get list of scam projects.

Lately the scams are getting really sophisticated if you notice lately lots of phishing app are showing up on google play. Recently my friend fell victim of atomic wallet's phishing app on playstore. A scam reporting site would be really helpful

[batang_bitcoin]

Nice, this could be the first stop of those people that want to check the websites if they are scam or not. Ether scan also has the label for certain ethereum addresses that has been used for scamming, so these great tools are very helpful for someone who wants to assure that he's dealing with the right address or person.

Those apps can be reported directly to google app so they can remove it.

This is good, and of course it’s going to help us in dealing with scam. But people still have to be careful. We can’t dictate all the scam projects, there are many of them being created everyday, more than we can count. So, you will not be able to dictate. I’m saying this based on my personal experience.

I have once seen a website that I know is a scam, and was created by the same people that owns some scam websites I’ve come across. Then I searched for the new website on Google to see if anyone has reported, but no one is talking about it. A newbie can come across it and due to there is no review on them yet, they might fall for it. So most important thing should knowing how to dictate scams.

It's cool since its poised to pointing out and reducing crypto scams. However, if anyone can report any project as scam on the site without protocols to checkmate if truly the said project is actually scam, the relevance will be diminished. I think cryptowhalebot aside from the normal whale transaction alerts also notifies on scam transactions and websites, which helps prevent further scam to an extent.

[Pomogator]

Really interesting and useful site. Now he still doesn't show the results of scammers to me, but in the future I think that everything will work. The problem with such sites is that without the support of people, they quickly close, because in one word you can’t do such a tremendous job.
