What DJ Khalid as well?

Well this is how marketing works, they just paid those popular people and advertise their project even without knowledge on what it is.

I guess they received millions of $$$ for advertising this scam.

Funny enough, those celebs could have been sold on how BTC went from cents to 10k and how their produce does BTC better. So, all they need is just some fiat to pair with their tokens because it's gonna be worth the moon in a few months compared to BTC's years. Bam!

They don't even need that.

Why would they be keeping a token that's declared as a scam? they are out of it as long as they have received the payment for advertising that scam.

I'm sure ppl who advertise some shitty ICO only accept fiat (maybe in form of BTC or ETH at the fixed rate) and such ads are not cheap. I try not to trust aggressive ads/marketing, especially some referral schemes, they scream scam... For me Ethereum is a good example of a project where mostly tech/code helped to increase value... Some of the "established" coins have also aggressive marketing but the usage is nowhere near Ethereum numbers.

my friend said Centra failed to get attention from their ico
yet i see another ico get a footballer along with them
ronaldinho now,
i get feelings it will same with centra

Centra bought MyWeather instagram ads. Some celebrity with no crypto knowledge with a bunch of ads in his social media suddenly advertising a shady ICO should be a very big red flag to anyone!

Guess the shocking part are those guys who are constantly waiting for someone to tell them what to buy, what not to buy, when and where. No wonder the market's a mess

very funny, but this is dangerous because his actions harm others.
this will worsen investor confidence in the ICO. there must be regulation so that ico is getting better quality

If you're tracking this scam, please be ready to save all the information about the project on your hard drive: site screenshots, yt videos, forum posts... They will delete all evidence!

Yeah... it's amazing the lengths these guys will go to to clean up shop and trying to make you look dumb for knowing the truth

Why are those people haven't arrested yet?

I hope that they'll never start a new project they scammed a lot of people and also me in its bounty campaign, fortunately I haven't invested in it even if I wasted some of my time

Don't worry about the bounty campaign, worry about those people that invested their hard earned money to that scam.

If I'm correct is this the one that has been advertised by Floyd right?

I hope no one gets stuck and loses his assets in this sad ico. but I'm confused, there are still people who care and support ico like this, who obviously have a troubled founder.

There is NO ICO! How can they be trying to scam someone? they aren’t asking for money!

No ICO? Is that the selling point? I'm not buying it. For a team that's currently entangled in 3 legal battles with funds from the centra 'project' frozen up, how are they supposed to fund phantom whatever?

The only way I see is if they cannibalize whatever they've developed so far with CTR, merge it into some code fork (they are forking ARK btw), present it to the community as a working platform and then a few months later start soliciting for "marketing funds". Don't forget the possibility of a pre-mine

Yeah, it's such a discouragement when you spend time and effort promoting a project and then end up being scammed. Unfortunately, we cannot just easily get rid of this kind of scams because scammers also are being creative and they are one step ahead of us so a thread like this would at least help those potential investors who might be thinking in investing in this projects. Thanks to the members of this forum who have done their research to reveal such scheme.

Scammers, hackers, phishers and same-minded people are always good in using new technology in order to snatch money from their victims. some are doing it subtly and some are doing it openly just like what Centra people did and now they have the courage to pull another magic trick right before our own eyes. Maybe these people should be send to a remote place where they can never contact anyone so that they can not anymore plan of anything that can victimize people. Good thing that there are now also people who are concerned of this industry and will not allow something like to go unexposed.

Whether it's a scam or not, better to just stay away from this one. The risk is too high, not worth it

It's an obvious scam and you can see the evidence through SEC report about centra was being alleged as a scam project. The CEO of centra has already arrested by US security and phantom just another scam project of centra scammer developers. I heard these scammers have been banning so many people from their telegram group.

How is it obvious? You used the word alleged, which means nothing has been proven. Innocent until proven guilty still means something in America. If they aren't asking for people to buy tokens, how can it be an ICO and illegal? Do all of you have law degrees when you sit here and state they are breaking the law?

Hi Centra Shill. Go ask Sam to give you a rebuttal for these questions that they will need to have one hell of an answer to in order to avoid going to jail and being fined to the tune of millions of dollars. If you can give passable answers it will go a long way with the court of public opinion.

1. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to their phony CEO Michael Edwards and why did Sam Sharma acknowledge his existence on two separate occasions in videos currently available on YouTube? Why should I trust anything this guy is involved in after that?

2. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to supposed partnerships with Visa, Mastercard and Bancorp being advertised during their ICO as well as videos available on YouTube by Sharma, when evidence shows that not only did those partnerships/agreements not exist, the company was being hit with cease and desists from all 3 companies yet Centra continued to advertise partnerships?

3. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to advertising an agreement for the card to operate in 38 states when court documents show that they didn’t have the license to operate in even 1 state and also the cost to get such licenses would have cost the company funds they never had access to pre ICO? There is also YouTube video of Sharma touting this ability.

4. What is Centra’s/Phantom’s response to coin price manipulation by Ray Trapani as shown by text message in court documents? Given this, what is to say that all Phantom represents is another opportunity to manipulate price to help liquidate Sam/Ray/Robert’s CTR?

Let’s see the “truth prevail”

Until they provide answers to all these and more, they're a persona non grata to me. Feel so sorry for those who're going to be scammed again despite reading all these

Whether or not it's a scam or the same guys coming back to milk the industry some more, I'm staying far from whatever phantom thing they got going. Lost a lot of money to centra and I'm not about to lose another with my eyes wide open

If there is no ICO where is the funding coming from? How can a group who had their funding seized and currently in 3 legal battles possibly be trusted?
