I never saw a price attached to "The Imperator", nor payment terms. That's what it made seem so odd as a scam. How do you "steal" money if you never ask for it?

I did see used S5's for sale at $199, and I think those were clearly a scam. I think one member reported that.

I suspect the intention was to drive people to the site where they might buy those 'bargain' *cough* s5's and maybe an odd person would order an imperator direct.

It was so low priced that it stuck out. I hope no one ordered from them. As far as them running it's obvious they had an agenda. Was some sort of going out trying to get sales.

I hope in scam section if anyone did get cheated they are able to try to go after "Richard Coleman" in court. I believe they said UK they were at but I'm not sure I would believe anything the said.

Their site just upped and left, email stopped working.
SCAM confirmed.

But at least they did not claim being hacked, that's a first in crypto..

Don't give them ideas Tongue

Yes they have up and left, even removing themselves from social media.

The thing I do not understand is why someone would ruin their name. I mean every future job opportunity they would google name. And when they see you were part of a big scam.... you do not get the job.

Did the make enough to live off of for life in this one I dont think so? I just don't understand people who do this.

What names?
John Richard Coleman?
There probably is such a person, but he is blissfully unaware that his identity was used to register CloudThink Ltd. in the UK.
It was all fake, the miners, the people, the offices, the lot.
The only people who can be traced are the shills and ponces who vouched for the scam and took their grubby sats from it.
There's a few of them here on BCT, heroes too. Angry

I instantly knew it was fishy when an american phone number, post code were listed on the address, also they tricked people into thinking it was an office, when basically all they were doing was tagging a ATM as Cloudthink, even when you click that marker it shows you its for a ATM. Nothing else.
Oh and the crap on the website showed it was a pack of bull right off. The new "miner" just took the cake.

If they'd like, they can still buy up jddebug's old farm, stick the boards in some cases, and send a few of those out as 'Imperator' to one or two people who applied for a 'review' unit Wink

I assume this ended up being a scam?

Yup and a pretty bad one at that. I don't think they were even that successful. Just ended up wasting alot of peoples time.

beware of your keys.

IIRC this is a collapsed ponzi, and probably the same result with what cloudminr just done.
this guy is gonna AWOL, so the self-moderated is gonna be bullshit.

Of course, they do not even reside at the address, I can confirm by driving to the building this morning.
US ZIP code on a UK address too, US phone number..

And on google maps "Cloudthink" is supposedly marked as a ATM.

At least a self respecting scammer tries to get paid Cheesy

What makes you think they didn't? I saw a lot of free advertisement in the form of interest and - I can only assume this was a condition of supposedly getting one - announcements of reviews to come from long-time and even respected members. That needed to convince only 1 person to make it all worth it. People have fallen for much more meager ploys.

Hey, where is my test unit? Undecided

you really need to ask that question?

The same place as my and everyone else's test unit, stuck in make believe scam land.

Does have to go down as the most pointless scam attempt in bitcointalk history where the scammer offers to give the goods away.

Still looks like no comment from the admins of this. I would advise anyone who is thinking to be aprt of this to stay well away unless you can pick up and collect at location and make arrangements to make payment in person as I have already been to office so called Manchester and is not their office as the unit has been bought out by another company and never heard of cloudthink ever. Maybe I have the wrong building or address but used the address on the website. So unless admin can clear this up and confirm proper location then am staying well away from it.

No need to say any more.
They are not paid of investment any more from August 6th.
They are certainly a scammers.
Also they did not shipping product of order.

I don't like UK in business.

BitcionCloudServices(UK), Clouthink(UK), Pbmining(Canada)
I lost thousands of dollars in a place like this.
I am so angry because anything I can do.

I think cloudmining is basically fraud.

What can I doing? Help me.

PBMining had regular payouts for over a year and a half, have they too been defunk. I have an account I guess I will check.
Would be nice if the community could come together and develop our own patrol of scams and the ability to act on it.
Of course it would be called something with a three letter abbreviation.

You have PBMining account and you haven't noticed that payouts are 1/1000 of what they should be?! The failure of PBMining ponzi scam has been very well documented on BTCtalk. You should probably catch up.

Indeed I did notice that months ago but haven't invested much there so I blew it off. They should of said payouts for 1 year then cut in half each additional. Thanks for the heads up.

Amanda Bright sound to me like John Doe:)

another tricky part is, the OP (rikkie) after something like "official announcement" stopped posting 5 days ago.

his so called "colleague" stopped vising this forum at all, he was active one month ago: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/mirjangka-354495

obviously, they already tried anything. from cloud mining and selling used HW to selling HW developed by them. all massively supported on all possible channels. this seems like the end. finally.

A premeditated crime.
Real criminals
개새끼들... 전형적인 악질 범죄자...

I hope they go away with the death penalty is possible countries.
However, in the UK, I told that not to acknowledge the btc currency.
If so, is it possible BTC criminals everyday life without any restraint?

Stealing Bitcoin in the UK is like stealing property, go through the right channels and provide evidence that can be traced by them easily and the criminal is going to prison.

Really?

'BITCOIN CLOUD Services' is an obvious case of fraud.
But it is still a working website.
I think that almost of bitcoin business in UK is doubtful.

Its not in the UK that is why, look at the post code. its WRONG for the UK. We do not use ZIP codes. Our postal codes are for example like this "SY22 9QX" not a length of numbers.
