Yes, we have done in the past. And after a few reports, a moderator contacted us and said that unfortunately scams are not moderated! So, us reporting to a moderator about a scam would not do any good. DT can tag them, and a moderator can delete some duplicate threads for what we have seen so far. But still, the forum admins need to do more about scams, such as BAN the scammers and lock their thread once proved.  In this interview we mentioned about that lack of moderation.

I have to agree with you but unfortunately rule changes that you are looking for are not easy to be applied since the forum admins are also busy in other matters and I haven't seen any rule/forum change since the merit system was introduced particularly when the 1 merit requirement for Jr. Members was set. What do need to happen is to rely heavily on DT members tagging accounts related to ICO scams in order to prevent as much damage as possible, also what you are doing on posting warnings on their ANN thread is a good enough way to let other members know that they are a scam. Good Job man. Keep it up!!!!

There are so many threads created by this scammer. Maybe a moderator should delete/suspend some of them and also give the poster a red tag.
We contacted a few more "team member" and we are waiting for an answer. But at this point, we already got two replies saying they are not part of the team. It is an obvious scam.
You are going up to the next level here on spotting ICO scams in the forum, you have done ways I never thought I'll do myself when it comes to checking whether or not an ICO is a scam. The good thing about this one is me and the other members here are also learning on how to spot scams in other methods. BTW Have you also tried reporting the thread to a moderator using the "report to moderator" function? I know they can do some action ones they know that the ANN thread is from a scamcoin.

Hello

Thank you for sending an image of your business. We updated our post above.

As far as Showhand, as you see above, Jochen said that he is not part of the team.

There is no need to prove that the whole team is not part of a project.

The message received from him is enough to categorize this project as a scam for the reason of using people's image/name without their permission.


Thank you.

Hello, I explained this fact with ShowHand team. The all team members are from China. They were promised to be associated with ShowHand. But currently China government is cracking down on digital money, and many of our original consultants are in the fair of securities. Now want to divide the boundaries with encrypted digital currencies. ShowHand telegram channel has 55k members but they aren't active in the group chat because China govt also banned telegram along with ICO. I hope, you all understood the fact. All of the team members listed in website are promised to join the team but due to the new policies in China they all didn't join in the team.
So please research more about ShowHand & kindly delete the post. Or if you have any curiosity to know about this fact more, then please join in our telegram channel & duscuss with the team admins.

Thanks to all.
