Overline Network Scam/Fraud/Deceptive Practices: Another example of absolute dishonesty and deceit by Patrick McConlogue, Craig Weisman, Leila El Hayani and the rest of the Overline Network / Block Collider crew.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) plays a crucial role in protecting consumers from deceptive practices and false advertising, especially regarding physical products (such as the promised oRouter). When consumers purchase items based on misleading claims or advertisements, and those products are not delivered as promised, the FTC steps in to enforce consumer protection laws. The agency ensures that businesses adhere to fair advertising standards and penalizes those that engage in fraudulent activities. By monitoring and addressing these deceptive practices, the FTC helps maintain a fair marketplace, ensuring that consumers receive the products they were promised and safeguarding against financial losses and mistrust.

The supposed oRouter and oRouter refund: Guess what I found out today - in the original online form attached in their refund email on June 25th, the Overline team explicitly stated that the refund would be provided within 5 days of the form being submitted. Now, after the first 5 days the form went live, (and people reporting that they have not received any refund) it has been CHANGED without notice - if I go into the form today, July 10th 2024, it says that "your request will be completed before 08/31/2024" - over 50 days.

It appears they have no intention of refunding people. It is plain to see that they simply wanted this checkbox checked at the bottom of the form to 'conclude all business and claims related to the listed device(s)" - this is to try and make sure that they don't have to refund people for the amounts they extracted from the community for other worthless digital items that they sold in relation to the orouter - ofriends, ocash, swamp boats, flamingos, treasure chest keys, wonderland ordinals, etc. It looks like they wiped out information relating to these digital items from their main social account on X (which they blocked me on) - the pattern appears to be deleting anything to do with things that were paid for in crypto and anything relating to Block Collider / EMB. I wonder if they are trying to hide their crypto gains/profits from taxation that they scammed from everyone?

Regardless, regarding the oRouter and the refund email: This is FRAUD, deceptive practices and false advertising, plain and simple, and the team is counting on us all remaining silent or missing these details - or else on not going back into the form to check after hearing that people are not receiving their refunds - they already succeeded in confusing some people about the refund receipt date.

The entire metaverse project, per Patrick and Craig's own words on X spaces were to be "layers built upon the orouter". It appears that they had no intention of ever shipping the orouter as they abandoned company filings, trademarks and even entire websites prior to their last sale for the oRouters, then ghosted the community when the stated shipping date rolled around, followed by 'discontinuing it for lack of demand' despite stating that they had only a "few thousand spots" left for batch 2 orouter presales, prior to the batch 3 sale (Doesn't this mean that they sold several thousands, at least?) This is exactly why I didn't sign that or submit the form and decided to wait and see what happened to others after 5 days. This is fraud, please report to both the FTC and FBI. Screenshots attached- thank goodness I took a screenshot of the original form. I've submitted my complaints to the @FTC @FBI do your part as well

False Advertising: Promising a refund for a physical product that was sold, and such refund being promised to be received within 5 days and then changing the terms without notifying customers can be seen as false advertising. This is because the company made a specific promise that induced people to act (in this case, to submit the form), and then did not fulfill that promise. Same for the oRouters - promising to ship this physical product by January 2024, and not doing so.

Deceptive Business Practices: This includes any business practice that is likely to mislead or deceive consumers.

Relevant Laws
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The FTC enforces this law and can take action against companies that engage in deceptive advertising.

State Consumer Protection Laws: Most states have their own consumer protection laws that prohibit deceptive business practices. These laws vary by state but generally provide for enforcement by state attorneys general and sometimes private lawsuits by consumers.

Breach of Contract: If the refund policy was part of a contractual agreement, changing the terms after consumers have agreed to them could be considered a breach of contract.

Steps to Take
Report to the FTC: You can file a complaint with the FTC online at FTC Complaint Assistant.

Report to the FBI: You can report it to the FBI. This can be done online at FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

If you live outside of the USA, you CAN still report to the above:

Anyone can report cyber crimes to IC3 if they are in the USA, or EVEN if they are foreign/live elsewhere but the project that scammed them is based in the USA, or has founders/business conducted by key people from within the USA. If the company operates internationally or has a significant presence or a business nexus in the U.S., U.S. authorities may still take action regarding foreigners who were scammed.

If you are in a foreign jurisdiction, you can additionally find your similar regulating agency there for reporting cyber crimes Europe, so that there will be a report on file regarding these con artists:

False implied associations with reputable third parties: Overline Network has engaged in a series of misleading practices, pretending to have ties with reputable organizations and individuals to gain trust to obtain more funds from the community.
False Association with Forbes: Overline Network created a fraudulent website, https://t.co/G55czaseZt, which redirects users to https://t.co/xjtiCseWEA even today. This misleading domain gives the false impression of an official collaboration with Forbes. Upon reaching out to Forbes recently, it was confirmed that "This site is not part of the official Forbes account," exposing yet another deceitful tactic from the overline network scam #overlinenetwork #scam. They even have an X handle named @forbeswallet, with "Data on the Overline multichain (https://t.co/lY4V0itQHa) for transactions, NFTs, and messages." in the bio.... which can be read to imply that the wallets Overline was promising to provide to the community were somehow connected to @Forbes @ForbesWeb3.

Unfulfilled Promises with Epic Games: The company claimed it would launch its project via Epic Games @EpicGames, a renowned video game and software developer. However, this launch never materialized, and no official partnership was ever confirmed by Epic Games - nothing to wishlist either. This empty promise has now been deleted from their X account, but a screenshot is attached.

Fake Amazon Integration: Overline Network included a button on their website for a short time allowing users to "sign in using Amazon," and get on a "Waitlist" implying a partnership with @amazon for launching their supposed NFT marketplace per some X space calls. This feature and the promised marketplace never came to fruition, and the button was quietly removed, further illustrating their pattern of false promises and deceptive claims. All mention of this has now been deleted from their socials.

Misleading Use of Elon Musk’s Identity: The company retweeted tweets by Elon Musk @elonmusk and placed his name and profile on their official leaderboard within the overline network website. This misleading use of Elon Musk's identity led people to believe that he was either using or endorsing their platform, or else implying some sort of link to Elon in aiding their unstoppable communication capability through the oRouter, adding yet another false sense of legitimacy to their fraudulent activities. Yep - all retweets have since been deleted from their socials.

These actions by Overline Network demonstrate a clear intent to deceive and manipulate potential investors by falsely associating themselves with high-profile, reputable entities and then wiping out all mention of these from their X social account after their sales concluded and they ghosted the community for months. Such deceptive practices are a hallmark of scams, aiming to build unwarranted trust and credibility to attract investments. These deceptive practices likely violate several federal and state laws related to fraud, false advertising, and consumer protection, which may result in criminal charges.

The @SECGov recently made a post on how to recognize a potential crypto scam. Here were some of the items on their list that overline fulfils:

- Fraudsters Impersonate or Exploit Trusted Sources - see above.

- Fraudsters Exploit the Hype Around Emerging Technologies Such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the oRouter, unstoppable wireless communication with a crypto miner built in, new technology non-reliant on internet, disaster proof

- Fraudsters Demand Additional Costs That They Falsely Claim Will Allow You to Withdraw From Your Account, or to Recover Losses - oRouter owners were to be first to mint oCash (only disclosed AFTER they launched 'mainnet', which was never actually a crypto token launch and conditions were never previously disclosed. Instead of allowing any withdrawal or presenting a contract address, they forced a 'staking' of 'balances + airdrop' for months without any withdrawal in sight), oLands, Keys with blue chip NFT raffles, & buying ocash would result in a 1:1 airdrop of whatever your purchased, etc. etc.
