Topic: ⚠ List of SCAM ICO! [PROVED] (Read 23118 times)

It is one thing, listing the scam ICO's, but people should also be made aware of the exchanges that listed these coins, because they form a integral part of the problem by listing these tokens. 

You can then look at the list and see what exchanges are being used to promote these scams and to trade these tokens. Stopping people from trading these coins, will go a long way to reduce the amount of victims who fall for these scams.

Exchange traded tokens should go through proper validation and very good KYC requirements, before they are listed. 

I must admit that I can't keep the OP updated as there are a lot of scam ICO out there to be added and due to personal life matters. But I'm impressed for the work of ICOethics and scam ico buster in the forum who helped exposed these scammers. I recommend to see the latest and most active scam ico list by icoethics which you can see in the below thread.

ICOEthics - scam list 2018-2019

Also in their site ICOEthics is monitoring ICO Scams!

I will keep this thread open and/or will lock thread soon.

They did some strange half distribution and kicked a lot of bounty people from telegram group. The main guy has a  link with another group AI Zeus, promoted by bounty0x.
I raised there concern about AI Zeus being linked with Rubius. Strangely they tried to protect AI Zeus. In short, it seems the first is scam and the other is close to this. Bounty0x gets bad karma since do not even try to perform some due diligence.

Hello project is very similar to fraud as Ethereum Classic Vision.

Take a look on rubius. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annicorubius-providing-exchange-wallet-and-payment-software-3254617 and their website https://rubius.io. After reaching their softcap there are no updates regarding the project and listing I even spoke to their telegram admin and the CEO even didnt responded to them. Kindly add this on your list if possible.

Robin Linus exit scammed the project with 1/3 of the ICO money to "work on another project". They bought a 1.1 million dollar villa in Costa Rica and multiple teammates purchased real estates in 2018 using the ICO Money. Everything went wrong with this ICO. The ICO investors lost over -97% of their ICO investments. Robin Linus the founder of the project even posted that the ICO investors lost so much money https://www.reddit.com/r/Nimiq/comments/acsi27/future_of_nimiq/ . Their founder was kicked from the project due to drugs abuse from the project, while they were lying for over 8 months that Robin was still part of the team doing research rejecting the fact that Robin was kicked out and started to have "a severe drug addiction". Recently Robin Linus posted on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Nimiq/comments/ado73k/future_of_nimiq/  that the project team members took control over the project ICO funds. They spent 1.1 million dollars to buy a mansion in Costa Rica, they wash the project money through "generous bonuses" and they are no longer interested in the project at all. They just want to burn all the ICO money and they are no interested in the future of the project. The network infrastructure costs more than $50,000 per month due to the fact they need to host seed nodes. They premined 2.5% of the network to donate to a charity foundation ImpactX, but this foundation doesn't exist and the funds as still owned by them. They ban everybody who is asking them about their funds or their project status on telegram, discord and reddit instantly. Multiple bitcointalk members started to explain the shady operations behind the project and the fact that due to their burning rate the project will become bankrupt and the project will become dead in just a couple of months. More information of how they wash the funds and about their shady practices on bitcointalk ANN topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1952324.1800

Robin Linus exit scammed the project with 1/3 of the ICO money proof: https://imgur.com/pr9aGxm https://imgur.com/5iz2iFX. Most probably the coin will be dead in a couple of months. STAY AWAY

also heard about this project) where on the Internet this information is that it is scammers.be careful and please spread at the first opportunity all the benches and projects with fraudulent actions)

I strongly believe this should be one of the pin thread in this section and every ICO investors and bounty hunters should start here, this is always updated by members contribution I'm glad that this was created a good source on who is a scam site and frauds.

ico has paid for all campaign participants, but the price of tokens is very cheap.
maybe you missed it. I think this coin is worthless I suggest you forget about cibus.

Please remove nettekcoin from your scam list.

Your scam accusation is caused by the person who we paid to handle our white paper on fiverr, who did a very poor job caused us to be marked as scam. But we believe we have learnt alot.

For the cartoon picture profile, the site was still under construction and has not finished yet before launched. Now we plead admin to remove us from this thread before we are finally listed on an exchange which can cause us another damage.

Thank you admin.

Here are some scam ICOs that I discovered:

I am part of its campaign and it looks a good project to me is there a confirmation that it is now a scam site so I can stop promoting this if proven a scam site, I don't want to miss the opportunity to be part of the campaign, because they have a lot of good reviews.

heta.org is not yet proved
