Innovative Bitget Shilling [Compliation]

[nutildah]

I didn't actually see any Bitcointalk submissions but I only scrolled through about 36 hours of the participation posts before I got bored. Anyway, here is the relevant clause from the bounty instructions as mentioned by logfiles:



So when I see posts that follow these instructions by known Bitget shills, I'm gonna report them as spam and use this as the reference.

I did scroll through the submissions too without seeing any recent Bitcointalk related screenshots. It definitely means that the reports and compilation threads like this one are doing a great job deterring the shills from spamming in this forum.
Most of the culprits have resorted to using other community platfroms.

Here is another B i t g e t shill ---> AntonietteK
The user's 15 post hisotry only filled with B i t g e t related posts like this one

$DOGE has recently experienced notable price growth, drawing attention from both traders and investors. In response, some exchanges are introducing new initiatives to engage their users.
For instance, B i t g e t has launched "Diamond Thursday," a weekly event where participants can trade BTC and potentially earn DOGE rewards. This program aims to turn regular trading activity into additional opportunities.

What are your thoughts on the current $DOGE market trend? How are you approaching it?

He was previously tagged by OP for shilling yet another exchange.

Already banned & wiped, good job.

Hopefully the message will get out that if you spam Bitget here, your posts will get deleted & you might not get paid for them (depends on how fast we catch and report them  )

They are like cockroaches that simply cannot be exterminated - and the only thing that would have an effect, in my opinion, would be blocking keywords, instead of which something like "shilling banned" would be displayed. It may sound too radical, but a company that pays for this kind of advertising does not deserve better treatment.

However, one more important fact should be highlighted, which is that we see that some more experienced members knowingly/unknowingly participate in shilling by entering discussions in which they should not participate.


I need a reference for the report so I'll just edit this post to show the moderator the obvious intent in the next topic.

Of course, the OP is a long-detected shill.

Thanks for this

It turns out that Bournesparks is linked to the OP of that shill thread (VicManton). Just like VicManton, Bournesparks shills the same exchange and has resorted to even posting screenshots so that he may not be caught if you look at his post history

VicManton sent 2 merits to Bournesparks in another rather useless reply, shilling B i t g e t and guess who the OP was? VicManton!

Through the merit network;

Bournesparks also received merit from Iamcrypticguy another shill

MarvieJ uses his account to shill and also uses AI bot for posting. Passing off others' words as your own and shilling are shady. So I suppose dealing with this account can be risky.

Bournesparks in turn sends some merits to R1dwanRz in another useless shill post
R1dwanRz as well already has two tags

This justifies that the accounts are under the control of one person and have no good intentions in this forum

@logfiles, my report on the topic in question resulted in a lock, which is better than if nothing happened - but it would still be better if the topic was deleted. Moderators unfortunately do not delete topics that have several pages, although those who unknowingly (or knowingly) participate in such fake discussions would be much more careful if several of their posts were deleted every week.

Yes, unfortunately shills not only do their dirty work but also abuse merits - now the only question is how did they get merits at all - on the black market or did they manage to deceive someone with their posts?

Most of the merits were acquired from some boards where senior members and merit sources thought they were encouraging newbies probably post much better and rank up. Fortunately, the shills are so stupid, and they kept sharing the merits within the network of their alts.
They just do three common things
1. Make posts using AI
2. Shill bitget
3. Merit shit posts of their alt accounts.

It appears they are back again with their shills on bitcointalk too.

I just noticed one on the  Development & Technical board who woke up after 5 years of inactivity and decided to post this. I am sure it's a shill account

Hello,

~
To date, 90% of my funds are in USDT on a centralized platform (CEX) . (BITGET) . They came from KRAKEN (in EUR) then went through about twenty transfers and CEX in different altcoins during a few months.

My BTC also went to a LEDGER key that I still own and on which I make DCA for my nephews from a centralized platform.

To date, I would like to

- Re-acquire BTC using my USDT and store them anonymously on a coldcard for the very long term without moving them.
- Keep the DCA (and a few satoshis for lightning or other) on the LEDGER key I have.

What do you recommend ?

- Acquire BTC via BITGET, then make a Wasabi conjoin and move them to a cold card.
- Send my USDT on a decentralized platform to buy BTC then cold card.
Or other ?

I don't think they've ever been away. Have a look at loyce.club/badposts/spam.html, and CTRL-F "bitget".

Ahh, I see they just stuck with alt boards and a few local boards, which I haven't visited for months or even years.

A section of them that I noticed lately now use screenshots or images of the exchange, vs using words or naming it. This shows they clearly know what they are doing is not right and will get pinpointed as soon as they dare post the name of the exchange here. All this is because they incentives they were promised from the exchange's discord channel.

[Lucius]

@logfiles, they use all possible tricks to try to remain unnoticed, it's not just screenshots, but also the use of hyperlinks. They are literally everywhere, not only on forums but also on social networks, and this way of marketing is clearly paying off for them. I don't know if there is a solution for such things, because even if they were blacklisted and even if they were automatically banned, the number of profiles they create is simply too large.

In my opinion, an even bigger problem is that people are obviously falling for such cheap tricks, believing that these shills are legitimate people who actually use that CEX and who share their personal opinions.

There would always be victims because, a lot of persons don’t know any better. You can’t be aware of every other site out there running legitimate business.
What I find useful is the fact that, the people who are well aware aren’t letting it just slip off without putting out some sort of report to help put the situation in check by relevant authorities.
Even then, it would continue to exist so long as, hosting sites view them for a new service and they meet up with the registration criteria.

You guys did open my eyes to these and that’s some benefit from being on the forum.

There is no doubt about that - and considering that this method of promotion/advertising clearly produces results, there are a lot of people who we can consider quite naive and gullible. However, I can say from experience that a part of people do not fall into these categories, they simply do not care if someone opened the topic because they have a legitimate intention to discuss something or if it is just covert advertising.

By the way, thanks for the merits - this is the largest amount I've ever received at once

Apparently, what I have seen is that most of the exchanges, platforms, brands, projects, companies does something similar, it's just the way BG doing things is a bit more aggressive than the others. They are just brutal, repetitive and don't give up even after getting nuked again and again. Everything is paid now and it's much cheaper to just use the shillers...

And they are actually achieving their goals, regardless their positive or negative branding. Because whenever I'm out in the internet surfing, out of 5 crypto related ads that pops in my feed, one must be from BG.

[logfiles]

Yep, this thread is a classic example ---> Think I have to stop trading futures as I get to use this strategy. The OP of the thread already has tags for shilling the exchange. In his post, he doesn't mention it but just creates a fake post showing how he has been trading while sharing a screenshot of the exchange (this is all done such that he get paid the other side while his post doesn't get reported and deleted from here)

Now three more shill accounts continue to bump the thread with the same intention.
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65222265#msg65222265
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65227435#msg65227435
3. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65227996#msg65227996

This clearly shows that a person or a few people are controlling these accounts. Sadly, some members who commented on the thread did not see the trick.

Here's another one:

Olamidetechie

He's mentioned bitget in 17 of his last 20 posts. He's extremely excited that the exchange is listing several Solana shitcoins. Obviously incentivized spamming, even if he covers it up better than most of the other shills. I for one would never use an exchange that resorts to these kinds of tactics to attract new users.
