Guys, has anyone heard smth about Intelfin Group companies? I read the reviews, it seems fine. They work with crypto. The yield is around 13% per month. Their plans seem to be serious. They even do co-financing. I'm lost whether to try or not. I 'd be grateful for any info. Here's the firm’s link: ~cut~

I think he is just promoting the suspicious site in the forum.

Is it OK to flag and tag the profile based on this?

You can mark them as spammer, or as much as you can if there is evidence anywhere that the site which they promote is a scam. this is already the better basis for the red tag and potential flag.
He is a Newbie, his account is not worth much nor will the red tag cause him significant damage.

I see these threads a lot in Altcoin Discussion. Some would do a segue into shilling to their own coin. Whenever I read some users especially newbies doing a generic crypto advice, I always expect those kinds of segue methods that they do.
Example: "Tips to avoid scam............. Right now I am thinking of investing to this project named abc coin, and they seem to have a good promise. What are your thoughts?"

After that, they would just abandon the thread. Common patterns of these shillers, lol.

I have said something similar here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60432713

I don't understand how old users post shit because of signatures posts where they bump topics where OP is advertising a scam! Any user bumping threads like yours or the one mentioned by me should not be allowed to get money for the signature

Can you back this up with any relevant information? An account spamming the link doesn't prove much.

I haven't created this thread for spam at all. I know spamming is different from than trust system. The information you will find when you simply visit their site. Their bot service will give you a high monthly return like 22% or more. It is quite impossible to get the same return every month. There isn't a money-making machine over the Internet. So it's a potential scam, no doubt.

I am pretty sure markvin is involved with that potential scam site. Still, I haven't tag him. I will see the community response.

Don't think it is okay to tag just for spamming I suppose. You can report the posts as spam for sure. Unless there is concrete information that the site is a scam, a tag will be too harsh. Having said that, the site does look a bit dodgy and I wouldn't trust them with a penny but that's just my personal opinion.

Newbie asks the community about some service, without much explanation, except that he wants to use it, but still to ask the community and share the link.
I saw many times these ways of promotion, and it's almost always a scam behind it all.

22.4% per month really is an unrealistically high-profit rate.
I tried to find any neutral review about them, based on proven experience but I can't find them. shouldn't it already exist, since intelfin.io has been operating for several years?
Only a bunch of comments on Trustpilot, where they all look pretty fake.

I am also suspicious about the intelfin.io site, it seems to make @The Cryptovator doubt and suspect that there is a point, from the review data that I saw about intelfin.io showing a lot of irregularities in the negative, most likely the intelfin.io site is a scam.

Some clues that can be suspected and the risk of investing is high on the intelfin.io site.

The first risk:

Quote

Negative highlights
XThe owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity on WHOIS.

XAccording to Tranco this site has a low Alexa rank.

XThis website offers financial services with a high risk/return.

Second risk:

Quote

Webshop Analysis
According to Tranco this site has a low Tranco rank. This means that the number of visitors to this website is quite low. You can expect this from a small, starting or niche website. A popular website however should have a higher Alexa ranking.

From several explanations, analysis and findings in intelfin.io review, Meaning and conclusion:

Quote

We identified keywords that indicate that the company may offer very high-risk financial services, meaning services that may offer a high return; but also a high likelihood of losing (all) your money. We advise you to be very careful.

For that, be careful choosing your current crypto trading or investment site, the risk of losing your money is greater, than expected.

It's the same as those users who are making threads in different sections who are asking for things and in the end, they will promote their website.
It's also a newbie account so maybe his intention is to spam that website here in the forum to lure some ignorant and newbie investors.

22.4% per month trading bot? As an investor, it's best to just ignore and don't give your money to them.

I found it strange that the OP was aggressive in his defense of the so called investment platform. The topic was deleted/moved before I could give him a piece of mind. He isn’t genuine, I suspect is intentions is to scam, he makes these posts about an investment platform and waits to see who comments so he can send a personal message to those who show interest. I’m glad the community saw through his lies, a tag would be appropriate. It looks like he is trying to lure people to his fake investment platform.

LOL. The above thread is funny and the originator of the thread is unserious. First, you played neutral to ask the honest option of the community about a project, maybe to tell if it's safe to invest. Then a user gave an honest opinion and the op immediately attacked the reviewer.

Well, it's obvious that markvin is directly involved in the project. It is also obvious that he is spamming the forum with his project. What I am not certain about is if the project is a scam because I didn't click his link. But from the method used to promote the project, there is 80% chance that is it a scam project.

He hasn't claimed but putting the link on posts proves that he is desperate to get attention from users on the site.

He makes it look like he is asking questions about the trading bot site, but he is just advertising them by including a link to the site in most of his posts. Just report him to the moderators for advertsing a site with low value posts and let us see how the moderators handle it. I don't think you should tag him yet, unless you are so sure that the site is a scam one, i know trading bots sites are scams, but people who try to use them are also greedy and do not want to learn how to trade the correct way, but believe they can make quick money trading with bots.

Asking for an opinion before investing in a site is good. But behind that, some scammers take advantage to share their sites. It becomes more clear when OP doesn't agree to hear a negative opinion. So here is the thread you may like to read.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/have-you-heard-about-intelfin-global-experience-5404211 (archived).

He is promoting a website (likely a scam) and overacting when Potato Chips leaves his true opinion. I said he is promoting it because he is posting this link on multiple threads. Check his post history.

I am pretty sure markvin is involved with that potential scam site. Still, I haven't tag him. I will see the community response.
