Fraud assessment tool

Hi all,

For the past two years I've been actively trying to expose cryptocurrency-related scams, and by now my blog is featuring nearly 50 extensive service assessments. These reports are standardized and comparable tests for the legitimacy of any service subjected to it. Over time these fraud risk assessments have also proven to be effective at identifying scams. For example, HashOcean, Topmine and Cldmine were all high up on the scam list. Since the assessments are rather extensive, the only obvious downside has always been the fact that new scams tend to appear faster than it’s possible to assess all of them. Sad

To address the former, I launched my fraud assessment tool (FAT) about two weeks ago. This is a simplified questionnaire that features many items typically included in my assessments, and immediately provides feedback as well based on the input. In short, it helps anyone in doing a quick and dirty scam assessment on any (new) investment/cloud mining service. Cheesy

The reason I'm posting this here is because I'm hoping to receive some feedback on this tool. Given the content on the board this seemed like the proper place to ask. I included a feedback field in the tool, but even though the tool has been used quite a few times, it hasn't really returned much feedback yet. Given that this was the first release of the tool, although based on significant experience, I really doubt it's perfect straight off the go. Tongue

What I would like to know is whether all questions properly formulated, and how the tool is experienced overall. Are there any people here willing to have a look at this? Smiley

Kind regards,
