Some sockpuppets started NEE scam/hoax which claims to have most honest IPO (seemz like Nem idea-rip off by random anonymous newbies) - ROFL. Utterly obviously aimed at collecting and running away with BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=664165.0Here we go for the next major intense btc-runoff SCAM on Bitcointalk. Beware ! Lemme quote the website https://neecoin.org/index.phpAttention: please specify all your personal details correctly, because the verification code confirming your right for stake ownership will be sent to your home address. This is our measure to prevent multiple account registrations by one person and part of our plan to undertake the most honest IPO of cryptocurrency ever. In our turn, we undertake the obligation to protect your personal details from third parties and remove them from the database after the launch of the genesis block.
Example of the correct filling of personal details:
Full Name: Tylor Carson Country/Region: USA, CA Street/No: 3333 S Hoover St City: Los Angeles ZIP/Postal Code: 90001 anyone entering their personal home adress on that site.... Ouch! WTF NEWBIE SCAM. INTENSE.~CfA~

I agree it seems like a scam.
1) They don't have a client yet! 2) They are forcing trust, everything is just on their web site. I can just see the "Oh we were hacked" scam. 3) They claim to be writing a completely new coin in Java. That would be a very high risk path to pull off correctly. 4) They are trying to collect a LOT of personal information, enough to tie a bitcoin address to a person, that is just evil. If they are so stupid as to not understand that, there isn't any chance of them pulling this off. 5) They are trying to collect at least 150 BTC before they create any coins!!!!!!!!! 6) They are using a referral system.

So now they have switched to collecting even more information, albeit a little indirectly.
1) NAME 2) FB account at least 6 months old with 20+ friend. <<<<< MAJOR RISK 3) SMS!!!!! They are going to have your telephone number!!! 4) Bitcointalk username
This scam is just looking for suckers that can be scammed multiple times. That or they don't understand the first thing about crypto currencies.

I've been banned from their thread? At least that is message I just got. I guess the negative feedback I created was well deserved and will stay.
Edit: Turns out NEECoin has been banned according to a twitter tweet by them. Guess there was more proof they were running a scam. In any case what they were doing is unethical.

I'm upset nothing can be done to moderate these forums. BtcTalk seems to just turn a blind eye to the scam artists and it's destroying the CryptoVerse with nothing but greed and suckers fuelling it.

You can call out scams and provide negative feedback when you find them. Every little bit helps. You can also follow Come-from-Above's example and create threads like these. In this case, even if NEECoin was legit, what they were doing is so unethical that it basically the same as a scam. However, their behavior now shows that they are just running a scam.
