ECKO Coin And CCTKN Scam Alert
This article will be very long, but it is also necessary because it comes with lots of screenshot that related to what's been explained here. We want to make sure no one fall victim to these criminals any more. They have been scamming since 2018.
This is the biggest organized ICO fraud ever. Read on! I stumbled upon an ICO called ECKO Coin in February of 2018. The ICO looked a bit strange to me and I had some doubt about. There was no actual founder, according to information on the website and whitepaper, ECKO Coin is own by The Real World Community (RWC) as seen on the images bellow:
There was never transparency with this ICO right from time and for this reason sales went extremely slow. So many things weren't normal about the ICO and founders. No enough information about the project , no management team, no explicit detail about coin use case and roadmap. With all these doubts, I had to invest only what I could afford to lose and encouraged others to do same.
The core team/founders who remain invisible and mysterious are the following individuals:
Jane Smith alaias "@Developing_Team or Admin" - Telegram and email ID tag https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008794020803
Kamran Baig alias Forex Trader "Telegram ID tag" https://www.facebook.com/kamran.baig.3557?fref=ufi
And thirdly the Core or lead developer Jay Wilson Kumar
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009480731604&fref=ufi
The ICO was ongoing for many months with a never ending promo sales which the team used to get more money from investors. Severally, they altered whitepaper and total supply without informing the community and anyone who dare to ask questions is quickly banned from the telegram group.
Between April and July, the so called team lead by Jane Smith promised they will soon list the coin on two exchanges namely: https://www.coinexchange.io and https://www.cryptopia.co.nz Even though they promised to end the ICO, but promo sales where ongoing illegally with the sole aim of defrauding investors the more. Refer to the screenshots bellow:
Each time they lie about going to exchange and the next thing you notice is a special sales with a too good to be true price. In the month of May 2018, we received several updates and mails that the coin will be listed on exchange soon but that never happened.
No promise made by the team was kept at any time. Too much stories emerged; they said developers were the one not keeping to the dates, the other time, a developer went for holiday, soon there was a heavy storm in the home town of one of the developers, as a result he could not access his PC due to no power supply, some developers were fired and new devs were recruited according to the team. During this time, Jay Kumar who happened to be the head of the development team went silent. The next time we read about him was that he's been fired.
While investors patiently wait for a specific date when the coin will be listed on an exchange, they released a bombshell that almost sent investors to their early graves. Yes, there are people who invested over $10,000 USD being their life's savings, some have medical situation and they invested everything so they could get more in order to support their medical treatment. They were tricked to invest that much through so called promo sales as seen in several screenshots bellow. What really happened? Towards the end of August 2018, one of the team member who was an investor and advisor publicly alerted the community on telegram that Kamran and Jane were planning to abandon the project. She posted the screenshot in the community.
This is leading us some where. In the bellow screenshot, the fellow assumes that Jay and Kamran are the same person and I feel the same way considering all the experiences we have had then and after. You will agree with me as we progress with this.
"The Bomshell" Immediately the fellow started sharing screenshots of their secret chat, the so-called Ecko Coin founders (Kamran Baig and Jane Smith) announced to the community that Jay Wilson Kumar has absconded with investors funds.
"Kamran's update on the issue"
"Jane's update on the issue"
Within a short time, probably few hours later, Jane Smith tried to gain investors confidence by suddenly becoming friendly for a moment as she try to put up new strategies to scam investors again. The next day, an update was issued and we're all forced to make a donation in form of fund-raising sales in order to continue the project or else, there is no way forward as announced by Alexander one of the investors who became the team's accomplice. Alexander is from Sweden and claims to be serving in the military.
The Swedish authority and military need to be informed of this guy's involvement in crime. He need to be expelled from the force because an immoral person like him shouldn't be there.
The response to buy or donate for the continuity of the scam project was extremely low because majority of investors were wise enough to figure out that this is a fraud, thus Jane, Kamran and some investors who are compromisers decided and obliged everyone to pay a withdraw before they can access their purchased eckocoin and transfer to exchange for trading. We all received this mail about the withdrawal fee every day. This is so heartless and scammy to tell people who spent their life savings in your ICO to pay withdrawal fee before gaining access to their investment. No ICO operating within legality will ever ask their investors to pay withdrawal fees, yet Kamran and Jane made investors to believe that such is legal and permissible.
we receiving eckocoin withdrawal fee email update continuously until another story popped up in early Feb 2019
With all these happenings, someone with real senses should figure out that this is a full blown out scam from all indications. They succeeded in stealing more money from some gullible old and new investors with promises that the coin will soon be listed on exchanges as listing fees were paid long ago. Anyone who was against the withdrawal fee became an enemy and such fellow was banned from the telegram group.
As we all wait to see eckocoin listed on an exchange, in February 2019 exactly one year since this ICO started, we got another bad news from Jane Smith and Alexander. This time it was KAMRAN BAIG who absconded with all the money that was raised after the Jay Kumar's story.
Jane & Alexander continued with the kamran story in order to draw investors attention as they prepare another plot to defraud. This is why I have no doubt that Jay Kumar, Kamran Baig and Jane Smith are just mysteries, these names could be associated with only one person in disguise who is the sole perpetrator of these criminal acts because no one know who all these people are in the real world and where exactly they come from.
Alexander tries to appease the minds of investors as they figure out a new way to get more money.
Just as we thought, Jane suggest to organize another ICO , this time, eckocoin will be created through ethereum's blockchain erc20 token and it will be called Community Charity Token (CCTKN). She went on to ask people to start raising funds in order to launch the new ICO so that new victims could be attracted and scammed.
Jane is frustrated because the response to raise more money supposed for new ICO is very low.
She issued a threat to end the whole thing if no one donate more money. After this threat, many investors started donating again.
It did not end there. If you bought 1 million Ecko Coin previously, you will now get just 500k Community Charity Token, wow! Let me explain this further. Assuming you bought 1 million eckocoin previously, you will only receive 500K cctkn token when a swap is effective and the total supply increased from 600 million to 850 million. Alexander says they had to cut investors coin to two half in order to control flooding when the token hits an exchange. But that's not true, pure because they increased total supply in order to sell more. So who is fooling who here? The question you want to ask yourself is this! Are you making a lose or gain in such scenario? Initially, total supply of Ecko Coin was 300 million. Some weeks later, the total supply was changed to 400 million, from 400 million, it was increased again to 600 million and then 850 million token in the case of CCTKN, the most troubling part of it is that they never consult investors before or after these and many other changes made.
Some investors where threatened by Jane alias Admin because they didn't support her fraud and scam.
This time many investors became the more vigilant not to fall into their trap and preferred to sit on the fence, but that wasn't favourable to the cctkn team, so Jane had to remind everyone again that she is going to end the scam because money isn't coming.
The final stage of this long reigning scam is here! Jane is in contact with one Steve who owns a site called bitrewards.io and she has reached an agreement with him to forcefully collect more money from everyone who holds eckocoin with promise to help create and list cctkn on his internal exchange. I don't know much about bitrewards and wouldn't want to. We have been screwed with every means possible for over a year now. Greed is the reason anyone will want to continue with this. A real crypto enthusiast should by now understand that this is no doubt an organized scam, the so called community charity token cctkn has no use case and will never have one. Why? No team behind this project, only bunch of fraudsters, no experience, no transparency, no accountability. For more than one year now, it's been one story to the other, ripping investors off of their money without mercy.
Finally, ECKO COIN alias Community Charity Token (CCTKN) fraud has ended. After forcing old investors to buy into a token called XRBT through referral link https://bitrewards.io/register.aspx?u=1155 Jane Smith also known by telegram name as (Admin or @Developing_Team) is in search of a buyer and new owner to take over from where she stopped.
She and her gangsters have made enough from investors to start other fraudulent projects like
