LaneAxis - SCAM - Didn't pay Bounty and closed telegram group
⭐ Merited by suchmoon (4)
What happened::
As the title suggests, the LaneAxis team has run several bounty campaigns, didn't pay anyone and then deleted the Telegram Group!
The LaneAxis team has organized several bounty campaigns, including the following that I joined in June 2018:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4390826.0
The only spreadsheet in which I am listed was sent to me immediately after I was selected as translator. (and includes only my name and Stakes)
Another bounty campaign was held on bitcoingarden: https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=44338.0
...the spreadsheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QoVUDXXyyvzlc0pXfgJwvcRAPhSfZIk3kqKZGHaHxZo/htmlview#
No matter what address I look at, nobody has received any AXIS Token
(Archive)
Even on their landing page, they promote one of their bounty campaigns:
Ok, so what exactly happened:
1) A few days before the payout should have taken place, I asked if it would not be possible to publish the final spreadsheet.
As a response I was told that the smart contract creation and distribution is not done internally, instead it is handled by a third party.
As far as I can remember, they said icobox was responsible.
A few days later the following announcement was made:
"Thank you for participating. All the tokens have been distributed."
2) Since no one received anything, people started complaining.
As an answer we received: "Please send us an e-mail to marketing@laneaxis.com to resolve the issues"
That was Friday evening.
No sooner said than done.
So we, the Bounty participants, have sent a mail to the given address.
3) Here comes the fun part
After three days had passed, it was Monday, the team has suddenly spread the following message.
So the team forwards the responsibility to a third party, unknown to us.
We're supposed to contact a guy named Cryptoguruu.
In addition, the telegram group is to be closed after 2 days.
Of course I sent a mail to the given address and guess what came back after one day from my mail provider:
4) People startet complaining that the given mail address doesn't even exist
Below you can see my last messages in the group.
There was no response to any of the messages.
A few hours later the group was deleted, two days earlier than previously announced.

Additional Notes:
Thanks Lane Axis for letting me translate your fuc**ing Whitepaper and Threads.
I hope karma gets you!
If you manage your project as professionally as the Bounty Campaigns, you should better quit right now.
