SCAM ALERT: Christian Josephs (SocialX)

@aizensou@aizensou (66)3166d

Hi everyone! I’m @aizensou one of the developers of Zcoin and Steemit user for over 2 years. I hope you won’t mind me using this post to raise some concerns about one of the executives of forthcoming ICO SocialX CHRISTIAN JOSEPHS.

Christian Josephs

https://twitter.com/christbkk

3 years ago I sent Christian Josephs 2 BTC for some trades. He disappeared without paying back, and without any explanations. I’ve tried to contact him many times in the past but he is very quick to block me, and delete any public messages that I make.

The beauty of Steemit is censorship resistance. When I saw Christian Josephs was involved with another ICO I wanted to be first to warn you to be careful.

---

After finding out he was involved with SocialX I sent a message on their Slack

In german this roughly translates that I know the money is gone but the least he could do is to apologise to me as a Gentleman.

Edit: In the screenshot I wrote 5 BTC because I remember the amount wrong. After checking back the chat log with him the amount was 2 BTC and the tx id is: https://blockchain.info/tx/9fb433526ca6ad5819c36a8f2602d4b1850ca9209b812bbf0837283d1964f78f

A few hours later my account was immediately deactivated on the slack. The most important thing to me is to make sure that Steemians know these details before conducting any business.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against this project, only ChrisBKK.

If you truly want to warn other Steemians about this blatant ripoff, my recommendation would be to take the emotion out of your postings and let the factual data speak for itself. 1 - you gave him the btc 2 - you got deactivated on slack 3 - you have screenshots

let the proof back you up. at the end of the day, all you can do is give your story. there's a million guys like Christian out there ripping off unsuspecting newbs. You won't be able to do much to conrol that. All you can do is give a factual account and share your warning. I got hacked the first week I joined steemit, which I still don't know how because I never gave out my passwords.

Thanks for spreading the word.

@zanoni(66)· 3162d
Dear @aizensou , I voted for you as a witness, I have an important question: for to exchange Steem into another crypto currency we all need an account at a crypto currency exchange. There are 2: Bittrex and Poloniex Bittrex stopped open new accounts since 15th december, when they start again? Nobody knows. At Poloniex I tried to sign up a new account yesterday, until today I got no confirmation mail to start the opening procedure! So what to do? How can new users exchange their steem? That's the big question and I don't understand why Steemit and the big "whales" not offer any support for that problem, they all have their accounts already.... That makes we wonder, really, because that's the main reason why people join Steemit, to earn a little money, but if there is no possibility for exchange steem, all is useless. Have you any idea?
@xcelent(25)· 3163d
Such an amazing post as always good keep it up!
@nkkb(56)· 3163d

@sonny.dharmawan(58)· 3163d
thanks for your warning.....he might have your 2 BTC, but he will lose more than that because once people read this post, they will have no trust to this guy nor his projects !

Thanks for bringing up this information. I've resteemed already, people need to be careful.
@spiritualmatters(56)· 3166d
At least you were blessed to have a name and a face associated with your heist.

I'm continually reminded how some are left holding air with only an avatar as their description...lol...funny; but not really...

Best regards. It's best to let the BTC loss 'go'; but, stay alert on protecting yourself and others of bad actors on the landscape.

As you said, a gentleman's apology would end this; but, until he desires to make his reputation in good standing, if not by monetary, apology at best, he will continue to pop up as a shady dealer.

Hopefully, he will turn the ship around. He sounds like an otherwise pretty 'talented' being.

Peace.
