RE: More Proof AriseBank is a SCAM
It is such a common practice to copy 'legal' stuff there are websites dedicated to doing it for you. Looks like they took the time to find something more applicable to their company to use as a template.
Sure it's not first-rate... but it get's something up there while you have people who are experts tailor one that is more appropriate. They could have done it before they made the site... but know there are many other things on the site alone that could eat hoards of time to get right.
Even after they've drafted a replacement you'll still be able to pick out random lines and find other similar documents. Sites want to cover their asses for the same sort of things. Imagine that.
Don't forget those are living documents that will change over time, at any time, to serve the needs of the company. You brought up the issue so they will probably get on it now if they aren't already.
I've never seen contact form emails include a CC. Why would he respond to you and include these random other people? Do these employees even know about the business dealings higher-ups have been doing? They probably are better suited to helping idiots fix their lost wallet or whatever they usually do.
Calling scam is stupid. Calling out issues and inconsistencies on the other hand is helpful. I've seen you provide helpful information for those around Bitshares.
Why is your attitude here a straight out attack instead of useful criticism?
"It is such a common practice to copy 'legal' stuff there are websites dedicated to doing it for you"
It is also very very illegal...
1st case... The CC was to the compliance department as mentioned on the email
2nd case... I CC'd both press & info on the e-mail I sent (no contact form) to get a faster reply. Marqeta CEO replied a few hrs later with a reply to all...
Mail is confirmed by ash as well as seen in the comments.
Thank you for pointing out my mistakes about how the emails went down. I was wrong.
Okay so it's illegal. More reason to fix the problem. A shitload of site owners should get hit and punished then. Maybe half the internet? Let's just call them all scams.
I want to see more concrete evidence before I'd throw money at them, like many others.
What I think has happened is they made use of Marqeta's service and called it a partnership. I could dance around potential scenarios leading to that happening or my perception of it happening.
I see bad communication and bad communicators. Lots of PR fuckups in general. That indicates a likelihood it will fall apart and thus is not a good investment. I'm not ready to call arise a scam. I see the same stuff with Bitshares and people around it.
I'm chilling here on the fence before I pickup my torch. I need something solid and worth burning first. Straws will not do.
