Note to moderators: This is not a scam accusation (despite the title); a scam accusation already exists I believe (or it is in the reputation section). I'm posting it in this thread for the sake of discussion/research; they're already a proven scam thus no need to "accuse" them of anything.Tl;dr: Tokensuite.io and bountysuite.com
are scam platforms that overcharge clients for fraudulent marketing -> they create fake marketing buzz via ANN bumping, Telegram spam and more.
What happened: Fraudulent bounty management offering; offering bot boosting on Bitcointalk and probably other sites as well.Scammers Profile Link: needmoney,
olcaytu2005,
radnom,
psy0, probably more.

I've looked into their scam platform again after I've randomly received the following PM from one of their accounts:
Proof of offering "bumping services": Known threads which were bumped: [ANN][ICO] CrowdForce:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annico-crowdforce-5032793 [Proven - See screenshots] - Archive:
https://archive.fo/RGDzb[ANN] BtcEX - Built for Security, Transparency and Liquidity:

Note: I've had no interaction with any member of this scam myself in any way or form between the time that I've received the PM and made this thread.
Credits: Credits go to an anonymous source that forwarded me the messages (forwards can't be doctored trivially like screenshots can). If either platform acts malliciously and retaliates against the source, then actions against them should be elevated (i.e. they should be at least permanently banned; and maybe legal action should be taken if someone is a fan of that).
Note 2: While forwards can't be doctored, the person creating a screenshot of the forward can doctor the image. If anyone questions the validity of the screenshots that I've taken, then they can contact me on TG and request a forward (although anyone who is familiar with me knows that this would just be a small waste of time).
Local-self mod. rule: Nobody who has been excluded from my trust list (mostly whiny/untrustworthy trolls) is allowed to post (this includes Quickseller, OgNasty, cryptohunter, TECSHARE, the hacked VIP account, and many more).
Even if your comment is constructive I will delete it (as well as any posts quoting these replies), so don't waste your time.
Questions/TODOI partially believe that this is also a Meta issue. If some services are doing this on large scale (they are probably not informing clients that this is
not allowed, and wrong), then maybe theymos should blacklist them and remove anything related to them that comes up. I don't see any other way of preventing this on such a scale.
Additionally, every ANN thread of every project that they have ever worked with has to be analized. I currently lack the time required to go through all them otherwise I would have already listed the results here.
