Topic: Be aware of a possible new exchange SCAM - I need your opinion - page 2. (Read 1392 times)

Just looked at the website and white paper. Do not be lied to and don't buy anything. It's just one of those shitty ICOs which will always turn into an exit scam. The want to take your valuable BTC or ETH in exchange for their Valueless ERC20 tokens  that are so easy to create from the Ethereum Network.

With just common sense then you can definitely say that this is indeed a scam.Who the hell with lots of money in BTC would suggest any investment decisions they would make?

If they do have hints for some price pump and dumps then they wont surely tell a thing to anyone.Dont ever trust up online for those who do suggest something

that it would pump blah blah blah. We've known on how this market becomes shitty when it comes to new projects and so as with new exchange scams on where op is talking all about.

A random girl on Tinder who made a lot of money is contacting strangers to invest in something because....


A shitty token will revolutionize the treatment of mental health illness and not only that, it will make you tons of money. Because....
No info about whois behind it, no company no names yet they claim:

Oh, 30 days old website, of course, another sign of a reputable old company.


If they are so profitable why the hell do they need more money, is it because...
Yeah, another ICO scam stay away from it.

I hope you can learn about this...
since 2 years ago, many new exchange projects have ended in scams, their goal is only to collect money from the sale of their tokens without wanting to develop their exchange, once again sorry for your loss.

they are fraudsters, also beware of pseudo companies that will offer you help, their only goal is to rob you even more or they are the exact same people who offer fraudulent advertising

This is a pure scam and most often, when it is too good to be true, probably it is. This is nothing else but a scam since you have experienced this before, you could have take caution and find out first as you are doing now before any commitment.

A bit of the same story here and I'm only here to make it possible for others to find via Google.
I also met a very pretty Chinese lady on Tinder, who said that she was living in Shenzhen. She soon wanted to continue via Whatsapp and told me that she had several gyms in China and she referred to the website whytewoolf.com. She was divorced and she said that she bought a house with the help of her parents, without whom she couldn't have done that. We chatted almost every day for a bit more than a week. She came across as a very nice lady and she sent quite a lot of photos, a few videos and voice apps. She sounded cute AND was way too pretty for a guy like me ;-)

She mentioned a few times that she had to take a look at her VOT in the evening. I didn't know what that was. And then she said that she was very happy one day, because her VOT rose quite a lot. She had invested for something like 43.000 dollars at 0.3 points and it had now gone up to 3.9. I asked her how long ago she invested into it. And answered that that was a month ago, but she was now going to instruct a class mate of hers on how to register and buy and she'd get back to me. I was intrigued.... I had dollar(or actually euro)-signs in my eyes and felt greed coming over me. She then referred to the kolomine.com website.......
I directly googled on experiences with kolomine and encountered this and a few more websites, indicating that it was a scam!
You had to pay with Ethereum or Bitcoin.

I then pasted a few links with warnings for a scam. It 'shocked' her, she was grateful to me. And I asked her if she was real, or that this was an elaborate way to trick me.
And then her reply got heated "What's wrong with you?Cheat you?What do I get out of it?" "Now I have to tell you, I'm tired of you, and I'm still checking out the gym, and you're calling this a f#cking scamOK, you do your own thing, don't try to ask me for VOT news."
And that was the last I heard of her. I then also used images.google.com and searched one of the first photos she sent me. It found a hit... It was a very nice looking Chinese fitness model, who was on weibu, facebook and instagram. I sent her a message that someone was misusing her photos and videos, but I doubt if she got that message.

The name the scammer used:
Tang Siyao
The phone number she used:
+852 5534 7824
The number still seems to be active (probably chatting up to other "helpless, romantic" men)
Don't fall for it.

With kind regards,

People wont eventually learn if they wont experience these kind of losses.Im not saying that it would really be necessary but in most cases we do end up on this one initially when people does have
zero knowledge plus having that some sort of greedy nature within us.Newbies will always be the target by those scammers just for them to extract out money from them and since
people do easily react with easy profits or money making opportunities then this is the time on when we are mostly blinded and then realized it soon but its already too late.
We should be careful and be sensible towards our actions and never ever easily be fooled out when strangers do reach out to you randomly offering this and like that
because 99% chance it is just tending to scam you.

waw! i can only say sorry for your lost, as a newbie i can only imagine how you felt finding out that the project you invested on and hoped on is a total scam, am sure now that girl can no longer be reached, it is always good to do research online, ask questions in relevant forums to support your understanding,
there are so many of them out there looking for innocent victims, you should do well to stay away from them, there are lots of helpful topics here in forum to help you understand this space better and how to avoid bad projects and what to look out for.
just keep a positive mind and hopefully you will regain your funds back in some other legit project (i.e if you are still interested to continue on being in crypto).

Hi Guys,

I fell into the same trap. A chinese girl matched with me on Tinder, we started talking and she mentioned "Kolomine.com", "VOT". Initially I thought she was just trying to still money from me. I went along through the whole process and saw that I was able to buy VOT. I'm a newbie, I thought the fact that my money appeared in the other end it could be genuine. Then I started educating myself about crypto currency market until I found about ICO Coins and that's a high risk investment, after that I started looking to get more info about VOT, that's when I found this thread.

My mistake was to invest with emotion, I invested in the dream of making money and ignored the red flags along the way.

I lost nearly 2BTC. I learned my lesson the very hard way. Never to thrust strangers, never to invest with emotion and excitement and without knowledge.


Hope my story can save you your money.

all the best.
Marcos




 

I am sorry, but everything points to scam... but it is not crypto that is faulty... it is your assessment (sorry to be blunt but this is what I think)...
So, you've trusted someone without investigating anything about the project or the exchange (no webpages, social media accounts, etc), someone that you know only online and for a month, you invested your whole balance into one unknown coin on an unknown exchange... you bought just because someone told you to... surprised about this being scam?
This is something that also happens outside crypto, and I bet that it would be a lot harder for you to send USD to a strage website just because a stranger said so

Hello, I read your post and I am interested in what happened, because I have such a suggestion?

How is the result?

Hey there,

as you can see, I´m a newby in the topic of Bitcoin, but I get the same offer than Ox Kara.
The difference, I didn´t made any exchange and check out before.
But I´m almost in contact with that person and wanted to ask would it be helpful to handover the phonenumber?

Sorry for my bad english.

Hey, thank you for your page.
With your help, I saved 500€.

I met a girl in tinder.. a chinese woman (i´m german), she told me she worked for a company in munich and made 30.000€ per month with trading.

and she told me many private things and wanted also meet me, but the whole chat time she tried often to talk about to invest in btc with the app coinomi and then buy VOT at kolomine.com

i searched the internet and found nothing but you website here... many thanks for that.


I mean, i don´t have many money and I never would have spend money on crytpocurrencies, but i was curious if this girl (which talked about dating me) only tried to stay in touch with me because of the investment in VOT or if she lost her money herself.

the reason is she showed me pictures of her wallet and asked me financial things about the german taxes and social security systems and also about economics in germany... and if I told her, that I have no money to invest, she said "thats no problem, I will help you get money for you invest".. that sounds really strange to me..

I mean next week she will go on a date with me.. i´m curious if this is a lie or if she also doesn´t know about the fraud from this website.


EDIT: After an internet search.. i found this site:

https://www.signal-arnaques.com/de/scam/view/224098


the same story.. so .. yes, it´s definitly a fraud / scam

I was happened with many people’s who new in crypto world and still many scammer trying to scam  with new users. I am very sorry for your lost big amount of money. Remember always be careful about any scammers.         

He did research on it but the problem here is even if the OP have seen a lot of red flags prior to the deal he still push through with the deal which for me is a bad decision making on his side. He didn't really lack on doing research as proven by how he have found out a lot of things after as proven what he had posted in the OP the problem here is why he had agreed with the transaction. To be honest this mistake is one of those where you will learn the most as anyone who will fall for this even though they have seen a lot of red flags beforehand will really learn from this mistake.

A big mistakes always happening on newbies side which is not properly researching on the platform introduced to them and they are always late when they are in trouble that's why next time people should research first since for sure they will find more information posted on internet regarding on the platform or any similar to that.

Hopefully OP learn a lesson from that loss and better move on to the next chapter also stay away on the ICO's

There are more valuable things than investing on ICO's, Learn trading OP since that is more legit than anything offered investment opportunities to you by the people who know you.

Generally if someone is offering you crypto directly even if the ICO hasn't even ended yet chances are you are holding a shitcoin/scamcoin, if there is even an ICO you wouldn't even receive the crypto earlier. Aside from that you even have searched for any background information for the cryptocurrency exchange, I don't even know why you have continued to make that transaction even though you failed to receive any kind of information with that crypto exchange. The good thing here is you did your due diligence on searching everything about this crypto and the crypto exchange but the wrong thing you did is you still continued to go with that deal even if you have seen a lot of red flags as a warning.

At first, I was thinking about why it is VOT when the name is Valid Order Chain. Thankfully bob123 already shown what the real coin is. Anyways, thanks for sharing this experience because now, when someone searches for VOT or whoever you will be talking with and entailing the word scam with,, it would be given here and will be sought.

I hope you don't stop dealing with crypto because not everyone will scam you. It's just that you can educate yourself on what you could do to avoid it. Crypto is the future, you know.
