Cezo rebranding attempt after not paying out bounty

[anoncoiner23]

What happened:: Cezo.io ran a bounty back in nov. 2020 which ended in Late Dec. and did not payout bounty hunters and scammed investors as their liquidity dropped over night - https://info.uniswap.org/pair/0xd291df8135ef1cedf78ce722d8c6b0b0210a3031

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2886714 - I probably should've seen this coming as this account doesn't have any other activity than the bounty post itself.

Additional Notes: Take not that Cezo's rebranding now so fair warning.....

Yeah complete scam imho.
They're rebranding in order to catch the DEFI hype train atm. Flag them as much as possible

[Raflesia]

Have you asked this directly to the team? how did he respond?
If it is only full of reasons, it is mandatory to mark them with a red flag, especially until there is stronger evidence that the project has manipulated prices on uniswap and did not pay poachers.

Same case as in this thread the brands reveal what happened to this project most of them just hired but didn't want to pay.

projects that do not pay bounty participants

They don't answer email for now and removed their only telegram contact weeks ago, i will tag this thread to the other thread.
flag created on project announcement board.

You need to create a flag to both accounts @cezo and @cezo_bounty_manager and post links to flags here ^{Update OP}, then DT members can support it.
only after the flag is active, the ANN thread will be red marked.
I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to pay off the bounty in exchange to remove the flag.

This is a good warning because they are trying to scam people the second time around if they have not paid their bounty hunters they will also do that to their new investors, the admins and developers should be tagged so we can stop these people from doing another round of scam, this OP is a good start.

I notice the bounty manager account logged in today. I tagged that account, directing them to this thread; maybe they'll have something to say. For the moment, however, it looks like all is over already, and there's probably not much more to be done at this point.

If you were participating in the bounty personally it might be worth making a Level 3 flag on the account you red tagged.

If you were participating in the bounty personally it might be worth making a Level 3 flag on the account you red tagged.

That would be appropriate if any of the investors of Cezo would be willing to provide their details of investment and would be willing to follow the procedure of preparing the flag.

Just my thoughts that a bounty participant and the bounty manager do not have any such contractual agreement of payment. The bounty manager is simply a middle-man but the onus of paying the bounty participant (and the manager's fees) lie on the team members shoulders. Unless both the bounty manager and the Team member paying the bounty are the same.

Is any of the Cezo investors watching this thread till now? Please be careful about which account is getting flagged.

[Jawhead999]

That's indeed scam, what the heck they change their project from cezo_io to cezofinance... seems they want take advantages of DEFI FOMO.

I've created the flag on both @cezo and @cezo_bounty_manager you can support the flag
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2598
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2599

[Botnake]

Tagged and flag are enough for bounty hunters not to support this scam and investors not to fall. Nice catch OP, these people are just trying to find their way to scam again, unfortunately, they are not smart enough as they use an obvious name, though they rebrand.

I was waiting for them to show up here and give some explanation. given that they ignore this topic I neg tagged both accounts, maybe now will pay their attention.

1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2598
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2599

Supported both flags, they are now active.

[anoncoiner23]

Glad to see everyone working together to get these scammers the attention they DONT want 
- supported any flags made
- continuing to audit the bounty community, 1 bounty at a time.

Terrible for me because i particpated in the bounty project but i was skeptical on the project known fully well it was all about a pump and dump when it got listed on coinmarketcap. it was obvious and i was obtuse for not getting a good understanding of where the project was heading to. i never invest cause i know the project is not legit.

[eXtremal]

I see there are new activities in this project
you can see the information on their twiter, they switched to network bsc https://twitter.com/cezo_io

stay careful
