Topic: 🔴[ICO SCAM] Swiss Alps Mining!! (Read 17143 times)

This reminds me of another scam in Ice Rock Mining that operated a while back (and pretty sure their token is still listed on CMC and some exchanges).

Mining is not going to be profitable simply because someone decides to split up the profits and tokenise it.

Let alone the fact that these systems that 'utilise natural cooling' are most likely vapourware out of thin air. The theory is great, but the returns they are able to advertise and sometimes even guarantee just makes the whole thing too good to be true

Needless to say, Giracoin is also just another con. Their statistics are obviously faked, and their site design is amateurish and doesn't inspire confidence at all. These region specific coins/projects that target international investors rarely bring any value.

Hm, i can access their website

https://portal.giracoin.com/login

And on their telegram group their main man, Gian, is still active

So unfortunately they still go on with their bs.

I think not

I think  their main project, Giracoin, still goes on., still scammig people.

Story seems to officially end here:

What will they try next?

I also see and believe that SAM is a scam because the CEO is not active at all he didnt make any update. The telegram.channel is dead and in telegram bounty channel there are no admin at all seems really dead. I think we need to move on guys. Waiting the bounty payment for almost a one year is really wasting of time.

ya this project i think scam because in telegram chanel no update news this project. Since 14th of November (pinned message) 3 months have passed. and no admin in telegram chanel.

Thanks for your message! I hope people will remember that you are not connected with Swiss Alps Mining
Good luck with Alphine Mining. Don't be scam or we will smash you

Dear all,

Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ludovic Thomas, CEO of Alpine Mining, a swiss crypto currency mining company operating in Switzerland and Sweden. (Alpinemining.ch)

I would like to bring to people's attention that "Alpine Mining AG" has nothing to do with the company called "Swiss alps mining AG " even though we unfortunately have similarities in our names. I am writing this as I was contacted at two occasions via LinkedIn by random people asking if we were connected to these people, which is obviously not the case.

I was myself very skeptical when the whole "Swiss alps mining" project was announced for the following reasons:

1) Fishy team with a bad reputation. (It has been widely talked about in this thread already)
2) The company advertised very low electricity prices, as a swiss miner, I had myself had meetings with all electricity producers/providers in Switzerland at least a year before they announced their project.
3) Mining is a small world in Switzerland, these people were completely unknown by the local community.

I am currently not in a position to say if they are a scam as I have not followed the project neither invested for obvious reasons. However, If we people were scammed, I would strongly advise people to press charges against them. It's very likely these people would get charged and sentenced if they committed any illegal offense.

After getting various messages as said above, It's important for me to tell the community that we were never connected and never interacted with these people.

Best regards
Ludovic

It is very difficult... Scam ICOs aren't say publicly that they are scam. They can say that their token price decreased because of .... [many reasons] and they're doing their best to update product and bla-bla-bla... So nobody says it is scam. They can say that the project was unsuccessful or something else in that context.

This is the reason why some country's consider crypto's as legal but not ICO's.
Because they can't protects their people.
So it's up to you if you get scammed or not.

So, it is confirmed? No bounty rewards, no activity on telegram and their ANN thread is locked.
I am interested if there is a way how to get scam ICOs into the jail?

If they really had good and valuable product, they would not sell those tokens so cheap...
Every Jack has his Jil

It seems that the ScAM team sells those token for a so low price, because no one who invested would sell his tokens, and the majority of the bounty hunters is not payed yet.

SAM came up with an amazing fairy tale

A good project needn't a bounty program

     I already was unhappy with this scam project since last week! Joined bounty but never got stakes for hilarious reasons they made

I've recieved this e-mail from an cryptofriend of mine and encouraged by @shitcoinoffering i would like to share this with the community. Forward, comment or help to spread the words against such heartless egoist - Gian-Carlo Collenberg and Ramon Simon

Dear Dobitrade Team,
 
Over the years, you’ve established yourselves as one of the fastest growing and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. Your high level of scrutiny before enlisting any cryptocurrency on your exchange has been the gold standard for the industry. However, your reputation in this regard may be at stake, going by the most recent news of you contemplating listing Giracoin/Girauno on your exchange.
 
As you may be aware, there are an endless number of fraudulent cryptocurrencies in the market, and I would like to bring to your notice the fact that Giracoin/Girauno is one such cryptocurrency. You would be well advised to carry out a thorough background check of the founders - Gian-Carlo Collenberg, Ramon Simon - of the cryptocurrency and their credentials, before taking a call on enlisting them on an exchange as reputed as Dobitrade. Do read through the inputs below and check the facts listed to support and justify this claim.
 
Giracoin/Girauno is an MLM Coin
An MLM Coin, which until recently was a closed Blockchain, Giracoin/Girauno has wilfully wronged various investors, fleecing them of their hard earned money, by constantly and shamelessly leveraging their ‘Swiss’ origins. The company has time and again closed accounts of members who trusted the company with their time and money. There are various pending charges levied against Gian-Carlo Collenberg and Ramon Simon in Switzerland. One such pending lawsuit against Gian-Carlo Collenberg is that of swindling an investor of 4.5 million Swiss Francs. The founder has since resorted to a much more subtle, yet blatantly shrewd new tactic of fleecing a larger number of investors of relatively smaller amounts, so as to avoid drawing attention towards its illicit activities.

Gian-Carlo Collenberg—the CEO of the company—earlier formed a company called SwSI Medical AG that has a notorious reputation of selling defective products such as rusty and deformed cannulas, jeopardising the lives of newborn babies.

Do find attached herewith, the brochure circulated among the team, detailing the proposal of the MLM plan. Also attached for your perusal is the screenshot of the chat between the founder and networkers, explicitly advising them against posting anything in Dobitrade chat which would reveal that it is an MLM Coin.

It might interest you to know that most of the accomplished advisors who were attached with company during its inception, severed all ties with it on learning of the various scams linked to the founder and on realising that Giracoin/Girauno is also going down the same path. This information has largely been withheld from being publicised. However, you could reach out to the original team of advisors to get a better understanding of the ground reality.

Korfmann, Rytz, Schmidt, and Katz are some of the many noteworthy names that disassociated with the company shortly after its inception. You could use https://www.riskscreen.com/ or any similar service to get further insights on the founders of the coin.
 
I am an avid follower and user of cryptocurrency and distributed ledger technology, and truly believe in its incredible potential to do good. I haven’t a doubt that in light of the new information shared with you, you would revisit your decision of enlisting Giracoin/Girauno on Dobitrade, so as to not be linked with such a highly notorious and fraudulent company.
 
Thanking you.
 
Yours sincerely,
An extremely perturbed Cryptoenthusiast
