A crypto Scammer on the run

[Gunday_07]

Many people in my country still find it hard to believe crypto because of scammers like this guy, I know that there is no way to banish scammers from crypto space but people need to understand that the only way they can be safe in crypto world is through learning, it's very easy to know that pinkoin is a scam because it promises high returns.

i almost got with this pinkcoin before because this coin was one of those coins that are being talked alot in this forum but who would thought that they are scam . there are people that can find it hard to detect a scam from not

I do hope he gets caught, people don't know how curses works, once you eat something you don't sweat for you re cursing yourself spiritually, all those you scam will never be happy and some will even curse you, why must you steal from people to make a living? Been bad pays but the end results is worse

Scammers are from every damn countries in this world, I know nigeria is full of scammers too but don't go around trusting projects because their members aren't from Nigeria lol, I'm kinda reluctant on russian blockchain projects too hahaha, it's a pity there is no way to safeguard crypto space because of decentralization.

Yes, I remember there was a time period here in the forum where if it was a Russian-backed project, people were hesitant to touch the project because they were labeled as scammers. And with Nigerians, the first thing that came to my mind is the email hoax using the Nigerian prince.   But good thing, these days, some previous perceptions are already going away as scammers are everywhere with different nationalities involved. It really doesn't matter now where you come from, as long as you are giving the community the service that you are offering and be transparent about it, they will change their perspectives on you.

You shouldn't blame me from running away from any crypto project that has a nigerian as one of its members, I don't hate this country but it's majority of its people are something else, not all nigeriana are bad though but .......here is a news I came across yesterday,

This scammer is smart, the project never get to bitcointalk forum because we are too smart for him, he will get red tagged instantly because the project is a complete HYIP made on fake promises, there is no ANN or anything and he target his on local people, I can't believe that some people are still this stupid honestly, all those who invested don't know anything.

[JHORN]

Those who lose money to this shit scam projects will find it hard to trust crypto currency but it's their fault as well, learning should come first before any other things in crypto space, it's why people lose money, they are in rush to take advantage but not knowing it's a trap

[jcarlo]

I know that it's not about the fact there were bunch of scam projects have been coming from them. I hope that he will be getting caught by the police.
In fact, nigerians are not bad but there were so many scammers were coming from there.

It looks like he was the owner of pinkoin.

Scamming is already part of crypto community and this is the reason why some exchanges strictly impose KYC to avoid being scammed as much as possible. We should also be vigilant in choosing projects to invest as some of them who offer huge amount of profits are just there to lure us and steal all our funds.

Agree that we must always be vigilant when starting to invest in a new project. New projects may in some cases be profitable but in my opinion only a few are successful in the market and also listing on exchangers. Many new projects end up being useless tokens in our wallets because the team ran away with the token sale money

unfortunately, sometimes KYC only makes our identity dangerous because it can be used for criminal acts and the data that has been collected can be sold on the black market, so if you rely solely on KYC solutions it's still not good, maybe you can add more deterrent regulations and you must really really thoroughly searched so that cryptocurrency crimes don't happen again.

Thats the right thing to do and it should be the case in all scammers thats why the blockchain project team/developers should undergo the KYC procedure especially if the project has any fundraising campaign like ICO the team should be known to the public unless the project is not doing any fundraising events because those people are already spending their own money, time and effort thats why it less likely becomes an exits scam. If possible dont invest with those unknown team/developers many of them in the Defi space dont fall with those shallow alibis beware of those fake/unknown project developers.

32,000,000 Nigerian Money is equal to $83,945.66. Big enough to target the suspect. Always a reminder that we must be cautious in everything we do to our money whether it is for short or long term investment purpose. Also we must not easily trust anyone who approach us and invite us to invest to their schemes. I hope that person will be caught and put in prison.

[globalpain]

Scammers are now becoming more professional, I don't know why people with real identities turn into scammers,
let alone a project that looks very clear, the team also becomes a scammer, I remember Miracle Tele and Titanium,
they become scammers, even though the team looks very strong.

It's better for exchanges to compulsory KYC just because of this type of scammers, it will be harder to apprehend scammers if there is no KYC, to change crypto to Fiat on crypto platform without KYC scammers will run away easily, I do hope this scammer get caught faster and made him face tough panel

Not in nigeria only, all places of the world have scammers on it. If there is opportunity to gain there will always be someone who will cheat their way to get the rewards. We just need to be vigilant and dont trust immediately. If youre in a long run trust is important but giving it to trustworthy people will bring great benefit and otherwise you will get scammed.

The only reason "Nigeria" is known for scamming is the fact that there was a "Nigerian prince" scam for a long time, it is a base deal that you do not have to use the same thing, the scam idea is that there is this huge and important person who has a lot of money but they need your help and if you could help them first then they could help you get a lot bigger. This doesn't require Nigerian or gold or anything else, it just requires you to believe he is an important person and if you believe that once it would be same all around the world.

You could literally have a wall street type of guy in some other nation who would require a big capital, like 50 thousand dollars, in order to post bail and leave the nation to go back to where he lives (USA New York) and they could wire millions of dollars back if they could just do that, same idea, but the roles are reversed. So it is not just Nigerian, it is the whole world.

[ScamViruS]

Scammers are everywhere and from all countries. Since it is easy to scam in the cryptocurrency world and easily escape after being scammed, this is why there are so many scammers in this industry.

Whether he is from Nigeria or any other country he has scammed investors from all over the world. I think this is why the exchanges are getting tougher day by day and paying more attention to kyc.

Crime always happens because the opportunity arises. Criminals can come from any country, it all depends on the individual, so let's not generalize about one particular country that becomes a haunt scammer.
We must also be aware that scammers target people who have little knowledge and experience in the cryptocurrency ecosystem so that they are easily lured with big rewards, even though scammers have unique characteristics that we can avoid in the first place. Unfortunately, the fraud model is getting tidier, we also have to do more analysis, not be greedy.

I mean, a scammer can carry out his activities from any country. Liability cannot be imposed on just one country. I agree with you that we need to be more careful. If we find any kind of scam activity, we should expose it and warn everyone. Because if we can't warn the community members, then such scam websites will keep coming in the market every day and will scam the people with little knowledge.The easiest way to scam people is to use human emotions to scam. So we should give new people the right information to keep them away from such scams.

You know my annoyance is not just with this unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of gullible investors but with the investors who has refuse to find a better way of getting their information, do you know till now it is very easy to scam some people! visit telegram and see who some innocent people are getting scam for a very avoidable reason,

am guessing  Inksnation and Pinkoin are both name of the fake project of this scammer, this type of people are in every country unfortunately but it seem africa has a higher rate of them, people need to be enlightened, in the process of looking for ends meet you can easily fall in the wrong hands if care is not taken.

[Kvalentine]

Some people can invest in anything if they promised good things in return, it's alarming how people believes scammers easily, after looking into pinkoin and Inksnation I don't see how people could trust such project, it projects smells scam completely

[Janation]

It is not about nationality, it is about how they take advantage.

They are using the people who are naive and greedy for easy money, it is not limited to a certain country but all around the world. People should be really careful with easy money projects or these kinds of deals as they usually say, if it is too good to be true, it is not true. Thank you for sharing about this, hope people could learn more about this new scammer and his ways.

[Atang Sulaeman]

Scammers from every country must exist, not only in the country of Nigeria, because they think by exploiting the
weaknesses of someone who is new to crypto with the lure of making easy money in the blockchain world,
someone who is new or who has been in the world of crypto for a long time keep learning continuously to research a project,
because we do not know that a project is good or bad.

[Harlot]

Most of the people here will disagree with you regarding you isolating Nigerians as the scammers in the crypto industry because among the thousands out there you will see that scams are spread all through out the world, some scammers' nationalities are not even identified because the scammer itself is not known and is only working in the shadows. You won't hear any kind of information from scammers running HYIP sites and you will barely see information of scammers hacking exchanges, the ones who are identified are mostly in different races. Simply you cannot judge a project because it has a Nigerian part of the team.
