Suspicious Signature campaign Hex.com

[irfan_pak10]

As I can see there are still users who are wearing signature and still, people are applying in the campaign,  These people do not care who is running the campaign, what things they need to check before applying to any campaign. For those people, I think we can write a detailed post, and every time they apply on such a campaign we give them neutral feedback with that educational link.

Also, I would request if we can create such a rule that if a scammer/ imposter launches such a campaign he should get a flag and if that flag gets enough votes, mods should lock the thread, to avoid further entries.

I up for this one which is actually a good suggestion.

Checking out the thread. Recently it had 100+ applications and now it decreases to 60+ as i remember which means people are withdrawing their applications due to
issue.People doesnt want to get negged on applying on an obvious scam campaign but even though there are still people who do apply in spite of the raised issue
and its pretty obvious that this is just a shitty pretending campaign.

That's a good idea but at the end of the day some people just aren't going to learn, and how much hand-holding should these people receive before they need to learn an important lesson about scammer-lead projects? The lesson being working for a scammer is usually unfruitful and a waste of time, and it pays to do a bit of research into a bounty/signature before signing up.

Let them do it whatever they want. That's their time and they have the right to waste it anywhere. We can just create awareness, they are the ones who have to follow. Even there are many red tags on the manager profile but participants do not care. So they deserve the loss of their time. I don't want to leave neutral feedback for them, it's just a waste of time.

It would be great, but doubts moderators will be involved with it since scam isn't moderated by the forum. But we may raise a flag to warn peoples.

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.

If you are getting the opportunity of free advertising like this then why you will spend your money.

Have you seen his second reply?

After reading his last post it seems to me that he don't care what people are talking about him and similarly all the participants who have already submitted their application for joining that campaign have no care about it is real or fake. So you can tell that campaign owners and the applicants are same in their behavior.

Yeah,,, You are right. If participants don't feel it necessary to justify the authenticity of the campaign then no one can keep them on right track. I don't think after getting tag they will change their activity where they have tendency of join the crowd without justification.

Crazy world.

I remember how Bounty Detective tried to protect their reputation against accusations of managing scam bounty campaigns, how later they started a 5000 BNB reward campaign to improve their reputation. And now I see this 🔴[BOUNTY DETECTIVE]🔴HEX SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN $15,000 WORTH OF HEX REWARD POOL 🔴.

Either campaign discussed in first post was started by imposter and now Bounty Detective manage a legit campaign, either they havent seen this topic, or they were given an offer they they could not refuse.

wow, I just see this. I can not understand is there any relation to both campaigns?  First a fake campaign with a brand new account again after few days a bounty signature campaign.. If the bounty detective team sees this thread can give a correct answer. And yes we have nothing to do if the owner of HEX hired him(bounty detective).

You are correct, thanks for bringing it to attention, the one managed by Bounty Detective is the legitimate campaign, initiated by Hex CEO Richard Heart himself;

Bounty Detective represented Hex in their original campaign as well, and now they are running round 2, all other Hex campaigns are / would be impostors and fake...

I hope you are right because the CEO denied the first attempted signature campaign by an impostor and even went ahead to say he didn't care after someone chatted with him
Maybe he should be contacted once again to confirm.

Okay, well sorry to break it to you but:

1. HEX is a shit scam token regardless of whether or not their bounty pays you at the end.
Update: OK I did my research and its not a scam per se but it is a bonafide shit token.
2. In the screenshot of the TG conversation in the first post, Richard Heart is asked if he is running any Bitcointalk bounty and he says "no." He might be specifically referring to the "fake" one, but if I was getting paid for wearing his sig I'd want to know if it was legit or not instead of just assuming that it is.

Edit:

It may not be a scam but its still sleazy as hell, IMO.

Yeah in that case he referred to that fake previous signature campaign, in which OP didn't appear since the day he started that fake campaign. That ended up exactly as everyone expected and hopefully some of those that applied learned the lesson.

Regarding this 2nd one, I checked a bit to see what I can find on their Telegram group and it looks like this one is legit and  endorsed by Richard Heart. Some member asked whether campaign is scam or not, and this is what he replied and as you can see, they are advertising it via bot.

Now the legitimate campaign for Hex.com is being opened under the management of Hhampuz.

That's the worst part of everything and some more others are still applying. As in experienced as i maybe, from my number of visits to that section of the forum, I've been able to make certain deductions as to payment range for various ranks available on the forum that, when a campaign promises a higher pay, not that this is not possible but, when it's so huge that it doubles or almost doubles the normal and coming from a supposed inexperienced user judging from forum rank, it's got to stir doubts and raise some questions in the minds of prospective participants. I get it that we want to make some extra BTC or cash but, we've got to be realistic based on past history and clarify a few things before jumping unto just any campaign.

Looking at the first and second page of that thread, some users expressed some doubts and raised there concerns on the thread. A user requested for a signed wallet address while the other uploaded screenshots of his/her chat with bounty administrator but the drive to earn just made a lot of other users ignore. I guess they didn't want to be left behind but then, of what profit would it be to put in efforts in scam projects. A little curiosity could save you valuable time, data and promoting a project that could even harm you.

[Chenqui]

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.

Now that hhampuz started new HEX signature campaign, no one will dare to say anything negative about those that are ready to promote HEX shitcoin.More than 80 people already applied.

Richard Heart couldnt buy Andreas Antonopulos with 10 BTC but he bought one of the most trusted and reputable members of this forum for few hundreds of dollars and all those that joined the campaign. That says a lot about bitcointalk forum.

[NotATether]

I think this thread has started to shift more to criticism of the HEX token itself than the original scam signature campaign made by a throwaway account.

While I would never advertise for HEX or other ICOs even if I was paid good money, I also think we should leave organizers and participants of ICOs, campaigns and stuff alone, after all there’s nothing inherently wrong in joining one as long as everyone gets fully paid.

Tokens don’t fit in the send-me-money-but-you-never-see-it-again category. Some people will obviously disagree with this considering that a lot of tokens in the past have dumped after reaching a peak value but I would not as far as calling HEX a scam, it is more like something that will eventually lose its market value after the initial launch (and yes, I did watch Richard Heart’s announcement last year in December, I never bought any HEX though, I’m not sold on the idea that an asset can keep appreciating in value forever).

[iamsheikhadil]

No doubt, such a decent rate and that's enough anyone could victim like this suspicious campaign. Signature participants are just so desperate of making money without caring what's happening their background. You couldn't change their attitude!

Well, that's hypocrisy when you (and me included) are the signature participants who would have applied on seeing the payment rates there without thinking a second thought had we not see the warning here let's go easy on them xD

But yeah, it's really important to research about every project before participating in it.

Huge difference here. Hhampuz is being hired to run a bounty, not "speak well" of HEX. Hhampuz is more of an advertising agent -- he is providing a service for hire. Aantop, on the other hand, is more of a spokesman and influencer. People buy coins based on what he has to say. So really it doesn't say anything about the forum.

With a high payrate, many people are tempted in the campaign, still I think if Hhampuz is hired to promote with the funds already held by him then it is safe for the participants, but if the HEX that is still being discussed is with the same mission being carried out or like the ponzi scheme it is up to each of us to judge how the HEX has worked so far.
