They're unprofessional, and basically, thieves.

Our company paid them almost 2BTC for various services inc KYC, Marketing etc.

There has been no response in months, and they continuously deflect, turning you round in circles, I have captured coms which were immediately deleted by their main guy, a Dr Rex Yeap based in Singapore according to his bio.

They are running a deceitful racket, utilising professional titles to give them credibility, then banning people when they question where the funds have gone, straight-up fraud.

This ico rating site is well followed by ico investors earlier on 2017 when ICO booms but after that this site become shit, manipulated, and too bias and become too shit/scam like other ico rating websites.
Their experts accounts can be bought whether a positive and negative rating.

ICObench has been known as a scammy shill site ever since the ICO rage in 2017.
Most of their "verified" experts are scam accounts, extorting projects money for a positive review.
And in some cases, even outright giving negative review and then asking money to remove it.

COMMUNITY WARNING to all crypto newcomers that are especially trusting of any ICO rating platforms.

ICObench FREE at a price!
It looks like another ICO ratings platform with reports of pocketing money using so-called KYC'd "experts" for favorable reviews has finally gone down. There has been STRONG suspicion circulating for some time now that the "expert" ratings they provide are in no way independent, but can be purchased. So it really hasn't been the so-called "free" ICO rating platform that it's supposed to be in the blockchain community.

The community has had enough!
Dig a little deeper and you'll find after searching online many telltale signs and RED flags that they are not be being upfront. Check it out ... the ICObench wesbite is down, facebook not active, the owners are in hiding, the "experts" or "advisors" are nothing special and the chat group admins are deflecting complaints or not even answering about stolen payments. Meanwhile to top it off there are rumours floating around that ICObench is currently under SEC investigation! - section 17b violation!  Enough is enough ... you all have failed to be responsible and some honest with the blockchain and the crypto community!

Do your own research and report which of these "experts" or "advisors" are taking money for ratings and/or abusing their so-called claimed status.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

If anybody has the website cached drop all the team and details here so everybody can do their own due diligence for themselves.
