I want to warn the community of a recent experience I've had with a user named CasioK.
Our company has been seeking a bounty campaign manager. Casio joined our Slack two weeks ago and reached out to solicit his marketing services and help. We initially agreed to a total of .5 BTC for bounty campaign management and other marketing services. He was very proactive and responsive in selling his services. However, once payment was the experience was the complete opposite. He delivered none of the services he committed to and I had to continually track him down for updates. I demanded a refund and he stated he was repay us. But unfortunately this never occurred. It’s been two weeks. He even threatened that if I report this to the community that there is no chance we will get repaid.
This was the last of the funds our business had before our presale and so he put our foundation in a very compromising situation. We are a non-profit foundation whose mission is to help others so every dollar is critical for us. It's especially sad when people take advantage of others that are trying to do good for the world. Now we are out of funds to complete our marketing before our crowdsale.
I know that I’m at fault for being naive and trusting him. However, in my research he appeared to be a trust worthy guy. Looking back, I wish I would have initiated an escrow.
I warn everyone to not deal with CasioK and encourage others that has had a negative experience with him to share your experiences. His profile and our chat transcripts are shared below.
FYI, he’s known to use multiple profiles and have a team associates so be careful. Be cautious of the following accounts as well:
