Suspicious Signature campaign Hex.com

[bL4nkcode]

Oh, now the op start cleaning from the posts who give warnings on that thread as you expect from a self-moderated thread.

"I don't care lol" - owner of Hex.com

I guess you can count unprofessionalism from a concern of them being a scam for their investment as really being a scam.

Well, I guess if this happen to other project they'll do the same, its a free promotion for them after all especially a project like that, that has lots of scam accusation.

[suchmoon]

Refused escrow because crypto (LOL) and obviously deleted all warnings from the thread. Keeps pretending that this is about HEX and not some ref link bullshit.

There is a lot of FUD being spread. Its the same thing I've been hearing all year long while HEX HEAVILY outgained EVERY other cryptocurrency. While "crypto influencers" were saying HEX is a scam the true believers like myself were heavily buying through all the lows. People here seem to not understand what a ponzi scheme is.

Coins do not get distributed to a 3rd party, the whole point of crypto was to replace middlemen. If you want to join this campaign know that you will be part of history as HEX eventually becomes the #1 cryptocurrency.

People that continue to call HEX a scam are clueless and will be the ones buying at $1.

Yes, this is not the first time, Hex.win, fake signature campaign.

Perhaps the people behind thinks that we already forget the first sig campaign. Not gonna happen here, lol, with so many scam busters around this community, they will be exposed before they can even think of their excuses.

[smyslov]

I like to warn those who would like to apply but the thread is in moderation it's likely to be deleted, but with so many giving tagged it will be noticeable to those applying that something is wrong with that campaign, they are likely to be tagged if the campaign push through and they are part of it.

Just woke up and see my post was deleted from the signature thread. Lol. And I am amazed that some people are still applying there after seeing manager trust score and shady behaviour. they are behaving like a bot. 

[Peanutswar]

Good to see that OP and other member make an action immediately on this kind of signature campaign we cannot deny most of us open the new signature campaign and they are giving a higher weekly payment of bitcoin that's the reason why there are a lot of members encouraged to submit their application, thanks to spreading awareness, also there is a way to close the thread? because right now there are still many accounts submitting their application and the thread becomes looks now a bounty application.

[noorman0]

The selection time is quite long, 5 days until Thursday. Registrants start wearing signatures, some start posting and HEX get free promotion for 5 days.

I just think what if next Thursday the campaign is suddenly canceled, then he create a new campaign with the same length of selection time to get another free promotion?
And if Richard Heart Hex users have got the redflag, do Hex.com Blockchain CD users deserve the redflag too? I think this is the same case, referral link promotion.

[Yogee]

Even on the off chance that campaign manager fulfilled his obligation and paid the participants, it would also make sense to ban any HEX signature around the forum if admin already rejected HEX's prior advertising bid.

Actually the payment is not bad at all if you check it. Problem is a lot of evidence that this could be a scam is high. Even the hex owners are denying it. But I do have a question though.

What if he is really a whale that support that hex project or coin and willing to spend his own money to promote for it. Does the campaign still invalid? The only thing he lack is escrow and refuses to do so. However, Ive seen no escrowed project that turn out to be good in the end like bestchange. Also wanted to know if that guy did is in violation of an heavy rule in forum.

[LeGaulois]

...

It's not really a matter of money and the funds not being held with an escrow, people are free to set up a campaign to advertise anything no matter if it's' their referral link or the Washington Post. It's a matter to promote a scam scheme.

Personally, I am disgusted to see members posting their application without even having a look at the project. They should be able to be aware of what they are willing to promote. If they had done so they would have realized the joke.
There are already enough people getting fooled and what they are doing is just helping more to catch more naive persons.

It's crazy, in the world for a few bucks people are willing to do anything.  2020 and nothing change:-\

In my honest opinion there is a huge difference between the two projects you mentioned. HEX is an obvious ponzi scheme/scam project, which has faced tons of scam accusations in the past. Let's see what other people in the industry say about HEX:

"In my opinion, everything I've read about HEX makes me extremely suspicious and wary," Andreas M. Antonopoulos – author, open blockchain educator – tells Cryptonews.com.

"I personally wouldn't touch it. There are enough red flags there to equip a Chinese military parade."

Other experts are similarly suspicious. Crypto analyst Alex Krüger refers to HEX as a "useless ERC20 token."

"Its only purpose is to hopefully go up in value by attracting new suckers," he tells Cryptonews.com. "It is marketed as 'designed to do over 10,000x returns in under 2.5 years,' which reads great for attracting the uninformed and the greedy."

Tone Vays spent hours speaking with Richard Heart on his Bitcoin Law podcast, and he tells Cryptonews.com that he has little doubt as to what HEX is.

"It's an affinity scam,” he says. “Here is how affinity scams work. A person like Richard Heart convinces a community and builds a reputation as a trustworthy and knowledgeable authority with a cult like following. Then finds the perfect time to sell that community something worthless to them for a lot of benefit to him."

And that's only one quoted article. If you need more information just do a quick Google-Search or check out these two articles, which I found in seconds, when I googled "HEX scam":

HEX token scam ads claim 11,500% returns in 4 months
HEX Still Can't Shake Scam Label as Token Approaches $1B Market Cap

In addition to that @YOSHIE pointed out that there were even several scam accusations on Bitcointalk already.


Come on guys... that there are so many users joining this fake HEX signature campaign is embarrassing for our community on so many levels. Not only that users don't care if there is an escrow who is securing the funds or if it's a brand-new account with no reputation at all. They also don't care if it's a self-moderated thread or if the signature codes were made so badly that they don't even work properly.

But most importantly some users here are so fucking greedy that they absolutely don't care if the advertised project is an obvious scam. They don't give a fuck if their signature lures more people into the hands of scammers or if others will lose their money because of their signatures. And all this for a few bucks? I mean come on... there were tons of warnings posted in the thread already. How can you even consider applying there? The account has several red trust ratings already and some users are still applying? Jesus Christ, it's not because some people don't read - they just don't care.

Honestly I don't know, if it complies with the forum rules, but IMHO all participants that applied to the campaign [1] and and are willing to promte the HEX scam further on [2] deserve a neutral (or even a negative?) tag. How did the community handle cases like this in the past?

I mean... 11,500% in four month? 10.000x in 2.5 years? This shit is even worse than YoBit. Holy fuck.

Is the HEX in this image? If HEX team use 10 BTC to run campaign it will be a long campaign.

Andreas Antonopoulos: Hex Team Offered Me 10 BTC to Speak Well of Their Token

Andreas Antonopoulos says he was offered 10 BTC for an interview with the objective to show that Hex is not a scam. The alleged offer comes as Hex proponents battle persistent Ponzi allegations. Antonopolous, an influential cryptocurrency advocate, also reveals the offer was on condition he does not disclose this inducement.

[XZERO1]

It goes to show how many members wouldn't care about the reputation of the website they are promoting as long as they're getting paid good, some of them retracted their application after they saw the accusations or maybe the just noticed there's no escrow and they think they won't get paid at the end of the week, but still there are about 3 full pages of applications that are still not removed.

Almost 95% of the time if the signature or other campaigns have self-moderated topic that's a clear sign there is something wrong with the campaign or something.

Yeah, They are the real HEX, HEX become trending 6 months ago by promising a ponzi like to return to token holder. They hire many influencer to pump there coin just like what they did on the screenshot that they provide. Most of the project is not interested on promoting in the forum due to low efficiency of bounty program here. I said this because I saw it on one of the AMA of the team when topic is about marketing.

Who cares? Even managers have got multiple red tags, no one bothering to read them. I don't think any reputed participants will participate in this campaign who cares about their valuable time. Participants even do not use common sense before applying to the campaign. They thought they will just get paid for their post. It's good if they could earn but in this case, eventually, they will regret it.

The manager deleted my warning on their campaign, which is more shady behavior. Really suspicious brand new account managing high pay campaign with self-moderated thread. Let's wait a week, everything will come out. Probably I would revise my feedback if they paid their participants accordingly, but doubts, it wouldn't happen.

Who can save you if you don't want to save yourselves?

[Bilgent]

I think it is not fair to give negative trust to the applicants who applied for a campaign at the start. But if people continue applying for the campaign after they see the warnings, negative trust can be given to this users. Because most of the campaigns accept users who sent a message first, people can apply for it before they do a research.

Lol, creating a signature campaign with high payment rate turns to be the best way to lure multi account cheaters.
High ranked users dont abandon usually account and dont woke up "just to participate in bounty".
These account history should be carefully investigated in search for connection with others.

You are right, as always. In addition to the awakened accounts, a fleeting check revealed accounts evading the ban.

okala ,Restmand
Your words were prophetic, I filed a complaint with the moderators about these accounts.
They will regret it , as perhaps they would not have been noticed if they had not applied for this subscription

[NotATether]

Quoting my post that OP of Hex.com* signature campaign deleted:

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

Why is there no spreadsheet in the OP?

Why would HEX need a signature campaign only now, when almost a year ago was there when they let everyone stake the most HEX for free, to be payed out this December? New people using the token now will only gain an infinitesimal amount of free money.

Also this really should be in the Altcoins board!

So it can only mean there will be no spreadsheet and that this is a joke campaign for free advertising, which’ll run for a week only before the manager comes up with an excuse to run away. I don’t think he will even choose a list of participants to be accepted.

@bullrun2020bro, I previously neutral-tagged the wearers of the Livecoin signature. It doesn’t do much to discourage people from participating per se, but more importantly it allows us to track when the campaign ends as all the tagged users will be wearing different signatures. So someone should come up and tag each of them.
