I do not know whether it is scam but sale was fishy. They placed token on exchange at high price while selling it officially with lower price. I have got my bounty tokens though which cost almost nothing.

Anyway, Ubex is exit scam and it is already RIP...

Your favorite advisor Reuben Godfrey was also an advisor for Ubex... I'm starting to notice a pattern here.

Currently I am advising several exciting crypto-currency projects; Kepler Tech, Ubex, Fan360, TrustedIn.

He's great for projects and terrible for investors. Just look at this mug, how could you not trust it? LOL.

It's pretty difficult to tell what's a scam and what's not. Until last year most people called Ripple and XRP a scam... and they missed legendary gains. So who knows?

Rumors about XRP scam were based on facts that XRP isn't a cryptocurrency and it has no Blockchain bla-bla-bla... As to other ICOs, there are real proofs Roll Eyes

I immediately thought that something was off after i saw that they entered exchange befroe ICO has ended.

My explanation is that this could be a very smart way to encourage people of buying into ICO.
And it is done by entering exchange before ico and the only token holders are controlled by ICO team, they artificially inflate the price and volume to attract more people.
This is not suspicious. but really put a big question mark. I saw the Ubex sponsored link when accidentally checked on etherscan. They list up bitforex and idex while still having very few people holding the token. in some situations in other projects. Some teams like Datareum have a large roboots on the telegram. The team is also silent and totally does not have the means to support the community while selling the crowd. Really worse than what I think. Worth mentioning, the roadmap of the datareum says October 18 token will be listed but still silent not a news. There are too many bad projects right now. shitcoin everywhere.

Today, they are trying to arrange the final pump in order to give managers the last chance to leave the project with a profit.
The way they dealt with many investors who still have not received anything even though they bought on sales raises very big questions about their honesty.

I admire your opinion. It was just pumped on Bitmart. Some investors and traders will sell their tokens and Ubex will finally die...

I don't think so that this ICO is a scam because they all ready invested big amount of money and got listed in many big exchange market and also invested in promotion. But this will end in cent after their ICO the token will surely dump.


Bro, where did you see big exchanges ? Do you mean scam exchanges like these in the list? By the way, there are many scam exchanges now, for example a well-known exchange as KuCoin is also scam (https://bit.ly/2N6I0AD). Bro, be careful and think before trust Smiley

Are you sure that all these exchanges are crooks ?? can you justify your words ?? Personally, I traded on these exchanges and I can say that everything is fine with them !!

Bitmart asks for KYC to withdraw anything.

The fall of the price ten times in a few days.

And this has not yet been paid to the bounty hunters, which means that it will go even lower on such low volumes. It turns out that they sell tokens from creators' wallets. I hope you did not invest in this scam guys.

I don't think it is scam (so far).But going by the similar ICOs in the past ,which have overhyped their projects and invested huge money in advertising/promotions this one (UBEX) will meet a similar fate.They are interested only in collecting huge money from investors and not their product speak to itself.After a few months this coin will end up trading under a cent and as another shitcoin

I also stay away from UBEX.

Why?

1. Google UBEX reviews and you will get 90% negative reviews on facebook or twitter.
2. First ICO I see where they demand you to spend 1 ETH as minimal purchase anything below that counts as donation.
3. Way too much advertising , seems like they rather spend money for advertising than product itself.
4. Team +/- 15 members.

I predict massive downfall straight after going into exchanges.
I would recommend research on this before investing.

I met the CEO of Ubex at the International Blockchain Conference. I was almost pissed off, at the way they were selling. I was at a loss to understand what they were trying to do.

Met an acquaintance on Day 2 who said they were going to release the tokens in 5 days, so he purchased immediately. I was so unhappy.

In 5 days, they met their Hardcap and then decided to increase it. In this scenario where ICOs are not getting funded, there is this ICO which increases the hardcap.

Joke.

Of course, they probably unlocked a few thousand coins so that they can show that it is trading at 5-6x. Idex and Bitforex should immediately stop trading.

Feel sorry for the people who have invested - I mean this looks a legit scam. Nothing an ICO holder can do, I guess. Noobs getting rekted.

Well they have a top advertising banner on Coinmarketcap for nearly a month. So I guess they spend a lot of fund for marketing. On the banner, I saw they partnered with Cocacola and Nvidia lol. And it's strange that an ICO which has not finished, was listed on exchanges, and I think it's tokens from their team. They pump its price by themselves to attract more investors.

oh wtf my friends already invested in ubex its a bad news for them , they were attracted by the 5000 ubex bonus upon purchase of their referrals. luckily i didnt invest anything , i just joined their drop. i just hope that this is not true.
unfortunately, this is true my friend. there are other signs of csam which was not mentioned above.
about listing - this is total fake. no single investor still have not their tokens. so these scammerm just did listings to attract more fishes and manipulate the price as they want.
they say on website thay they just sold XXX Ubex tokens for YYY BTC several minutes ago. That is not true.
Their meter is fake, they paint it by themselves as most of ICO do nowadays. Not best days for ICOs gentlemen...

You guys should tag the bounty manager though he's just managing the bounty campaign but he should be aware of this scam accusation and can take further action in this matter. And if he doesn't want to loss the trust then he should deem appropriate action.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/icobountyinfo-1907057

I joined their signature campaign before but when they extended the ico even they almost reached the hard cap and being trading on bitforex, it straightened up my mind and leave the bounty.

This looks very scammy.

Their ICO stats are stuck on 24,621 ETH / 85 % and they are listed on exchanges where the token is traded for 5-6x of the ICO value. (e.g IDEX)
Also I can't find an end date for their ICO on their site.

The fact that you don't have to pass the KYC before you can send them tokens also doesn't add trust to me. Of course they are stating that in the event of a not successful process they refund the tokens.

Are there legit ICO's which handle KYC like this these days? (its been a while since I participated in them)

They claim they sold like 4000 Ethereum in one day, they should have reached their other hard cap of 28k in no time plus they are already (somehow) listed on a few exchanges and actually trading at a higher price than the ICO? They claim it's their partners, I suspect they might be selling and buying the coins themselves to fool people into buying more, seems really sketchy to me.
The manipulations really took place now and the attracted people were falling into their traps. Suspecious moves gathered negative reactions and speculations from holders now, and they can't stop us from saying our opinions over fraudulent actions they had. I wish that they will make clear statements against their scam accusations on this thread, or any other public renounced media. If they do it fairly and proved their end was good and transparent to people, then we have no problems to that.

Their contract is weird, but doesn't seems malicious. I re analysed the code and found that they are still using some deprecated methods. Even they can add tokens to address without buying from exchange.

Code:
function addTokens(address _beneficiary, uint256 _tokenAmount) public onlyOwner {
       balances[_beneficiary] = balances[_beneficiary].add(_tokenAmount);
       tokensIssued = tokensIssued.add(_tokenAmount);
       emit TokenAdded(_beneficiary, _tokenAmount);
}

I dont see this as negative but as a trick, Anyhow coming to the founding team profile i can recall this guy was associated with Latoken. I would like to hear from trusted members of forum on this issue.
Ubex confirms a partnership with Nvidia recently but i doubt this project will ever fly with colors but will land like swissborg,paragoncoin.

Edit: Its not a front scam but to snatch crypto from foolish investors in a legit way.
Dictum: Fool and his crypto are soon departed.

Edit: don't believe on Ian Balina's Shillina's words, he is on side who has heavy money.

TELEGRAM https://t.me/UbexAI
FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/UbexAl/
TWITTER https://twitter.com/ubex_ai/
LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/company/ubex-ai

Firstly, Artem Chestnov  it's one of the founders of the Ubex project worked in scam project Latoken.



Proof:
https://www.trackico.io/member/artem-chestnov/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/artem-chestnov-aa5461/

Receiving money



Receiving money in ETH is carried out to a single address 0x2cc1060de78aa44e3e6a86102fac93f1de49adb2, and to receive BTC, LTC (possibly something else), personally generated wallets are used for each user. This gives at once a package of potential threats and problems. Such as:
  • Receiving money for different wallets means that no one can check, but whether the money was collected. Smart contract 0x2cc1060d ** sends money only to the beneficiary's purse https://etherscan.io/address/0xf8eed1ae306a07d8899de8dabc3783974a680830 At the moment there is 6,017 ETH. The site says that they received 23,773 ETH
  • Why do they make individual wallets for BTC? In order to make it easier to identify the investor.
  • In case of hacking, a hacker, a disloyal programmer, an admin of web hosting and so on can secretly substitute the algorithm for generating personal purses, then hacking will not be detected quickly enough. If the purse was a single one, the investors themselves would start asking questions. The threat of losing money and not noticing breaking in time is a serious justification why you can not collect money for personal wallets

Distribution tokens

https://etherscan.io/token/0x6704b673c70de9bf74c8fba4b4bd748f0e2190e1
From this page it can be seen that the company's programmer from the wallet 0x474e028b9710bef801D3a0bA3c282e729C0e3591 received tokens at the publication of the contract, thanks to this code
Code:
contract UbexToken is DetailedERC20, StandardToken, BurnableToken, PausableToken {
function UbexToken( uint256 totalSupply ) DetailedERC20 ( “UBEX Token”, “UBEX”, 18 )
{
totalSupply_ = totalSupply;
balances[msg.sender] = totalSupply;
}
}

Further, the main smart contract only distributes tokens, and only for ETH. Tokens for non-ETH will be distributed at the request of the builder, and the remainder at his own will probably promise to be burned.
From this we can conclude:
  • Tokens are distributed at will of the person
  • There is no point in a smart contract, because they are easily manipulated by a person.
  • Founder can deceive investors, for example, by sending someone tokens more than they paid, or or do not burn off the extra.

Smart contract

The management of ICO is completely manual, which indicates an extremely low technical level of the company.

The start / end of the ICO is determined by the state of the variable "closed". The value of the variable is set by the owner of the Crowdsale contract.
It should be noted that the builder can resume sales after completion without any restrictions.
Code:
 function closeCrowdsale(bool closed_) public onlyOwner {
      closed = closed_;
}

Discounts and bonuses are also entered manually using the method:
Code:
function setBonusMultiplier(uint256 bonusMultiplier_) public onlyOwner {
       bonusMultiplier = bonusMultiplier_;
}

Investor does not receive tokens immediately. Tokens put to it will be stored in the associative array of balances.
And the funds contributed by the investor go to the wallet of founder.
Code:
 function _processPurchase(address _beneficiary, uint256 _tokenAmount) internal {
       require(!hasClosed());
       balances[_beneficiary] = balances[_beneficiary].add(_tokenAmount);
       tokensIssued = tokensIssued.add(_tokenAmount);
}

In this case, the owner can at any time increase the value of the tokens intended for any purse, for example, for himself:
Code:
function addTokens(address _beneficiary, uint256 _tokenAmount) public onlyOwner {
       balances[_beneficiary] = balances[_beneficiary].add(_tokenAmount);
       tokensIssued = tokensIssued.add(_tokenAmount);
       emit TokenAdded(_beneficiary, _tokenAmount);
