SCAM ALERT - PumpCoinBets Marketing

[MPDigital]

I would like to share my recent experience with a Telegram advertising placement purchased from Pumpcoinbets.

Contact:
Telegram username: @johnly2
Background:
I was approached regarding advertising opportunities on the Pumpcoinbets Telegram channel and was provided with various performance screenshots, case studies involving Stake.com and Coins.Game, as well as examples of previous casino promotions.

After negotiations, we agreed to run a weekend test campaign.
Payment Dispute:
I proposed splitting the payment into two parts due to previous negative experiences with Telegram advertising placements.
My proposal was:

• $250 paid upfront
• $250 paid after verification

The other party initially responded with "Okay" and provided a wallet address.
I sent the first payment of $250.
After receiving the first payment, the other party stated that they normally require full upfront payment for test campaigns.
Following additional discussion, they agreed to publish the advertisement first and allow me to send the remaining balance immediately after the post went live.

Publication:
The post was published on the Pumpcoinbets channel.
As agreed, I sent the remaining $250 immediately after the publication was visible.

What Happened Next:

Shortly after receiving the second payment:

• The promotional post was removed.
• Communication stopped.
• The Telegram account became unavailable. | chat deleted + one short message I'm impostor"
• I was informed that the account had been deleted.

Evidence Available:

I have retained:

• Screenshots of the entire Telegram conversation.
• Wallet addresses used for payment.
• Transaction hashes for both cryptocurrency payments.
• Screenshots of the published post.
• Screenshots showing the account becoming unavailable.

I am posting this report to determine whether anyone else in the affiliate or iGaming industry has had similar experiences with:

• Pumpcoinbets
• @johnly2
• Related Telegram advertising services

If anyone has worked with this channel before, I would appreciate hearing about your experience.

I am happy to provide additional screenshots and transaction information to forum moderators if required.

@johnly2 is not the guy managing sales for pumpcoinbet - afaik
He probably impersonated the actual owner
I never dealts with them so I can not tell if they are quality but if you go on the pumpcoinbet telegram group, the contact info is not johnly2

I would post the actual real contact but I already got a warning recently from the managers of this forum so not sure if I can post it

Im in direct contact with actual owner of the group. He told me that scammer impersonate as casino CEO to get all screens and stats + asked for preview. Later dropped those stats to me as marketing manager.

Yes that's the common technique these days, unfortunately
Always do your own research before sending payments
