Topic: The "C ICO/bounty" is a scam (Read 1168 times)

Same structure of Bounty, Same date of website registration
Something is fishy.

It is not for free actually. He spent his time, or maybe paid for a website.

All updates are at the bottom of this post.

The manager "Ehrhc" is very unfriendly and threatens anybody who questions when they will get paid that their payment will get held for 2 weeks:

I get that English isn't his first language, by the looks of it his first language is Russian which is fine.

When asked if the funds for the bounty are escrowed this is the reply:

When going to page 2-3 nothing about funds is found.

He also guaranteed me payment on the 16th:

I have yet to receive payment:

He claims the payments are 80% done:

But none of the addresses on the first page have received their payment.

When checking the WHOIS for their website I saw they use WHOIS Guard:
https://www.whois.com/whois/projectc.io

So they don't want to be known.

Their ICO also doesn't have a whitepaper.

I will post more if needed, I will also update the post if I get paid by them.

Edit:
Removed all the img tags because it made the thread hard to read.

Edit 2:
He added this to the ann thread:

Edit 3:
The developer now claims Lauda and mprep are blackmailing him but he provides no proof to support this.

Edit 4:
I think this is one of their staff members saying some people will get paid and other's won't even though this was never disclosed in the initial thread.

Onionpealer is most likely and alt of Ehrhc, bottom of the thread:

Onionpealer didn't read the thread he was using as source properly and made a mistake, he admitted this here at the second last reply:

Edit 6:
Apparently not everybody has updated their work yet so he is delaying it again:

Edit 7:
Still not payment, but now he is going to make a list of all people who annoyed and tried to scam them:

Whatever his strategy it's somehow succeed with it because of the numbers of the participants that he used for free in his campaign and it's really annoying how he still fooling their participants in his daily update in OP. Can't imagine how he be so arrogant in his bashers and now let's see who will be running naked around the block.

I added more proof to the thread.

He is now going to make a list of people who annoyed/tried to scam him.

Any news? I just did my little job, as I started just some days ago, but... what I read here is depressing.
Btw, at least I gained some experience.
More, as latin people said "spes ultima dea" (hope is the last goddess...)
So, we'll see.

I added more proof to the thread:

I doubt I will be getting paid.

I'm just observing: as I said, I'm a beginner and this is the first campaing I partecipated, and really I don't know what to do, to insist or to go ahead with something different; in any case, I just started two days ago, so - if this is a scam - I don't suffer any loss.

Btw, just two questions:

a) if this is a scam, why so many members still have the C signature?

b) why nobody bans the starter of the campaign, as at present he has -16 trust point?

Just to know, I only want to learn what - in this place - is acceptable and what isn't.

He is just buying time and hyping up the project C thing to get the refund of his websites ( for sure he paid for that ) and to scam more investors, like does he even have a brain? He let the investment ( $5, $0.05$ ) because he assumes that the lower the investment fee the more the investors will come in, the more money he can scam, now he is buying time again to hype this up to hold the participants to continue on supporting this project.  Again, I will be one of the most happy person if i am proven to be wrong that C is not a scam but what can i do, he isn't paying those poor participants. I hope mods will lock the threads and ban Ehrhc.
