What happened:A user called 'jalangkote' is trying to sell (non-existent) herbs, claiming that it prevents/cures COVID-19.
He is charging $765 for 120 days of treatment and $1,400 for 240 days of treatment. While this is an obvious scam, unfortunately plenty of people fall for this kind of quackery. I called him out in his topic, telling him that it could be extremely dangerous to make these kinds of claims and that he could possibly hurt someone. Not only does he continue to make fraudulent claims, he also attacked me with several of his alt-accounts (even leaving negative feedback).
After asking 'jalangkote' for photographic evidence of your laboratory, a chemical analysis report of his herbs, a scientific report of how your herbs prevent/cure COVID-19 and/or evidence of claims that they have 'resolved H5N1' he replied that he's not giving any evidence due to privacy reasons and told me to buy his herbs and test them myself. This makes it extremely obvious that he's trying to scam people.
Scammers Profile Link:jalangkoteConnected alt-accounts:hugabasejcksteveAfter leaving 'jalangkote' negative feedback, I received negative feedback from 'hugabase' and 'jcksteve'. Both account are also defending 'jalangkote' in his topic. When searching on Google for 'Gakulawa' (the non-existent herbs 'jalangkote' is trying to sell) one of the search results leads to
https://www.x24kgold.com/, which also happens to promote Gakulawa. When searching on Google for 'x24kgold.com' one of the search results leads to this topic:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sale-domain-name-x24kgoldcom-old-domain-since-2008-909650, where 'hugabase' is trying to sell the domain. This makes it extremely likely that 'jalangkote' and 'hugabase' are controlled by the same person (which explains their similar writing style. This topic makes it obvious that 'jcksteve' is also connected to the same owner:
