Topic: hardworkinfamilyman Exposed: Fraudulent Activity, False Claims and SEC Complaint (Read 130 times)

The flag and the red trust are all correct to warn people of your behavior and your history; these are created to protect the community from bad actors like you; you should do it elsewhere because you're not going to stop scamming people based on how good you are in trying to make us believe in your narrative.
You are good at manipulating the conversation; I guess you've been doing this for a long time.

Just a word of advice. Be very careful downloading software or wallets recommended by such individuals. Being a scammer he is, he can easily trick you into downloading malware and that how your computer gets compromised, leading to loss of funds or sensitive user information.

If he can try to lie about being someone he is not, then he could surely do anything else that is malicious.

I don't think he can do that he's been dilly-dallying. He is a scammer who tried to manipulate the community, but the community knows how to discern a scammer; he is manipulative and keeps holding on to his story; in the past, there have been so many claims about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Scammers still sell this kind of story because it evokes interest.

If he is in contact, there is no condition, and will just show concrete proof, but the biggest question still is why Nakamoto would trust this random guy.

I'm not trying to "outcast" you, i'm trying to protect the community from scammers like you. You can't just wave off the red flags and expect us to ignore them. The US SEC has already caught you raising over one million dollars illegally through unregistered offers and sales of securities to crypto asset investors. It's just a matter of time before you get caught and face trial.

I challenge you to provide concrete evidence that refutes the other red flags and concerns raised in the scam report.

I want to note another thing , when I sent an email to [email protected] , the owner replied :

"Hey, thanks for the email. You should mine x1coin.org or at least download the wallet.

Satoshi Nakamoto"

why did you use Satoshi Nakamoto name at the end ? you said you only spoke to him , why use his identity when sending an email ? you said that you prefer that we call you Alex , that is all I know guys, I hope I helped even a little bit.

I fell for it LOL, its my first time here . I downloaded his X1COIN wallet , sent him an email and gave him my bitcoin address :

as you can see in the blockchain it still have 0 in it haha, I support the redflags ! for me this is a scammer 100%.

We don't need scammers and trolls here, so if he managed to outcast you, the better for the community

Have you had time to look at your trust ratings?
What valuables could you possibly be having that would make him hate you? I mean you are just a low life looking for the next immediate victim to scam but with that negative feedback, i expect even the newbies in this forum not to fall for it.

I don't see any hate, all I see is someone who is tired of scammers like you who is using Satoshi to scam people. anyway, you won't get support here, so you might as well give up and leave and save this forum from seeing your bad attempts at scamming people on this forum. Seeing Albon's post and your trust history, this is not your first time using Satoshi to try and scam people.

Yes, this is a well-known since 2018. Check out his Trusted Feedback record.  

This is an insane person who tries to get tips and promote his projects through these attention-seeking topics that he has been posting for years, falsely claiming that he possesses the real identity of Satoshi or was in contact with him. He has not provided any effective proofs, and all the red flags you mentioned above, OP, indicate that he is like the other scammers who have appeared before, claiming to be Satoshi or closely associated with him just to attract attention, gain community trust, and scam beginners and the general public. And his post [this one], if he is indeed ALEXANDER ELBANNA and the PDF he attached from the SEC indicates that this person is untrustworthy and has previously established fraudulent schemes and companies, which he closed after successfully stealing investors' money.

I will support the flag now. Thank you, OP, for warning the community about this member.

Nice, but the red flag is you are a trying to outcast me and I am trying to have a civilized conversation with you.
All that hate isn't good for you man.

I came across a discussion on this forum where a suspicious individual hardworkinfamilyman claiming to have information about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The user is asking the community to vote on whether or not they should reveal Satoshi's identity, but there are several red flags that suggest this is a scam.

Red Flags:

• The user has provided a GPG key, claiming it to be Satoshi Nakamoto's, but it is not owned by Satoshi. This is a common tactic used by scammers to falsely prove their identity.
• The user has provided receipts as "The truest form of evidence" to prove their connection to Satoshi Nakamoto. However, these receipts are not conclusive evidence as there is no confirmation from GoDaddy that they are real. It is easy to create fake receipts and this is a common tactic used by scammers to deceive others.
• The user has cited Dr. Craig Wright as proof of their claims. However, Dr. Craig Wright is a known liar who has lost several lawsuits where the judge has ruled that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Citing Dr. Craig Wright as proof of one's identity is further proof that this user is a scammer.
• The user is asking the Bitcoin community to use their influence to list X1Coin on crypto exchanges. This raises concerns about the legitimacy of X1Coin and the user's intentions.
• When called out for potentially being a scammer, the user became defensive and compared themselves to famous inventors such as Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and Marie Curie. This is a common tactic used by scammers to deflect criticism and garner sympathy.

Even More Shady Claims:

• The user claims to have acquired vistomail.com, including the email alias [email protected], and has been conducting research on the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. However, the user has not provided any concrete evidence to support these claims.
• The user is asking the community to vote on whether or not they should reveal Satoshi's identity, but it is unclear what the purpose of this vote is or how it will be conducted. This seems like a ploy to gain attention and credibility.
• The user initially asked for money tips, but has not provided any real proof that they have communicated with the real Satoshi Nakamoto.

I'm convinced that this user is A SCAM, and I'd advise everyone to be cautious and not to engage with them. The promises of revealing Satoshi's identity and the user's involvement with X1Coin seem too good to be true. The lack of concrete evidence and the user's history of scamming only add to my suspicions. Did anyone else notice any other red flags that I might have missed?

Update

Furthermore, the user has claimed to have been involved in over 100 other projects, which is humanly impossible. This is a common tactic used by scammers to exaggerate their credentials and credibility.

Additionally, the user's use of the identity "Satoshi Nakamoto" when replying to an email raises concerns. The user had previously claimed to have communicated with Satoshi Nakamoto, but using his identity when sending an email is a red flag.
