[morvillz7z]

What happened: Using artificial face images which have been further edited (added soft/gaussian blur) to avoid detection.

Flag 1: I'll add a flag in two days, or as soon as my next comment on their thread is deleted. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=677

• I believe that Chatgasm are using fake images for their team. A few days ago I made comment on their thread asking for more information about their team, if they could provide additional images so that we could verify their identity.
• Today they deleted my post along with someone else's post asking the same thing, which only confirms my suspicion that these are indeed fake images.
• Photos undoubtedly are further edited to clean up any skin imperfections/burns and artifacts, so it's hard for anyone to conclude whether they are fake or not.
• Still some minor signs left untouched though, I've highlighted some of them... click on the images and check for yourself.

Considering the roadmap in their ANN thread claims they've been working on developing this platform since 2017 it begs the question of why they only recently bothered to register the .io domain for it:

What with this and the deletion of reasonable questions concerning the supposed project team this stinks of the usual scam ICO attempt. Flag supported.

[stompix]

Yeah, another video chat ICO that uses a whitelabel affiliate page from either chaturbate or livejasmin that promises it will revolutionize ...nothing

They claim:

  We already have a working demo and we already have over 200 adult webcam performers on board.

Chatgasm is intened as demo for our final product that will be delivered as part of our timeline. Certain functions and designs have been disabled or excluded in the demo and will be delivered in full in the final product. Chatgasm is for persons of at least 18 years or older. Access or use of this website and its contents by any person under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited. This website contains information, links, images and live video that can be of sexually explicit content.

But once you go into the source of the feed there

Code:

<source src='
https://edge133.stream.highwebmedia.com/live-hls/amlst:deliciousfeetx-sd-
a546dceb051a168b68d03ed1cd4a5fd7c83ff95a2bbb3bcaf111806862dec74b_trns_h264/playlist.m3u8'
type='application/x-mpegURL' ></video></div>

this is actual grab from chaturbate, one simple google search with the name of the model will get you to that page  (NSFW) and you can see the same code there

Code:

       html += "webkit-playsinline playsinline autoplay>
<source src='
https://edge231.stream.highwebmedia.com/live-hls/amlst:deliciousfeetx-sd-
a546dceb051a168b68d03ed1cd4a5fd7c83ff95a2bbb3bcaf111806862dec74b_trns_h264/playlist.m3u8'
type='application/x-mpegURL' ></video></div>";

LE:
Seems like they also have a bumping service, it might be a coincidence (lols, no!) but of the 6 low-level members I've checked they all did their last or second last post in another topic, Zolango

[mosprognoz]

This is becoming ridiculous. Stolen identities, photoshopped pictures and plagiarized whitepapers in so many crypto projects...  It was better for them to avoid posting team images, because their project is related to adult content. All that crypto porn platforms are nothing but a scam.

[morvillz7z]

Thanks for bringing that additional information @cryptodevil and @stompix. To be honest, I didn't go in-depth and check the rest of their project, nor did I read their creampaper.    I knew those pictures are fake and also knew that my comments will be deleted. I like to soft-troll scammers sometimes, asking them to provide/do something they cannot.

So much for...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be honest, I didn't go in-depth and check the rest of their project, nor did I read their creampaper.

When a project use fake team means they are totally fake. No need to go more deep and I have not go very deep previously like you if team is fake.

One of most important reason of use traditional picture style (Black & White) is use fake team. That means they photoshopped team members and they want to hide it behind of black & white photo. It doesn't mean all black & white photos are fake but scammers use that tricks.

The current state of their ANN , all posts deleted including the op as if they were never here.  Same goes for their website (twitter and telegram too) - blank welcome page.  I'm not sure how i feel about these self-mod threads sometimes, you shouldn't be able to vanish like that (even though everything is well-documented and archived).

Lots of good work led to discover this scammer, thanks for your efforts.
I wanted to know how you could determine that these photos were fake? I mean, I focused on these pictures and didn't notice any changes in them, any advice to help?. "Other than the black&white trick."
S/He may reuse Twitter accounts with a new username, the same for a website template.

Hihihi, I like the fact they've chosen "cancelled" , like for real?

But about the second part, I have the same feeling about some scams and some topics, but there are two different cases

a) and this happens a lot in the mining section
A guy comes up faking interest in some shady store that is 99% his, gets found out...usually, the topic gets nuked and the whole info about the scam is gone. Happened at least 2 times, the info pointing the scam was also deleted so unless somebody goes and start a scam accusation from scratch he can try again.

b) this kind of cases like chatgasm
In those, I'm actually happy with the deleted topic, there are some really stupid people that won't look at the red numbers, check the topic a bit and because it is moderated  ...they throw money at a scam
So, in this case, they will have no way to get some suckers from this board and if you google their name, the first is the scam accusation.

Personally I would like another member rank with a x100 price compared to the copper rank required to open a self-moderated ann in the altcoin section.
No money, no moderated thread. At least, they are going to lose some money when they are found out.
But zero chances of that happening....

I wanted to know how you could determine that these photos were fake?

Idk, I've seen so many fakes I could probably call one in a second.

Chatgasm photos have been additionally processed in photoshop to cover up the otherwise obvious skin burns and marks, so it's a little harder to determine they are fake.  I tried to highlight some of the details in red, they are good enough at least for me, i'm sure most people might not notice them.

Anyway, there are more signs that gives them away that I wish I would not explain in detail for obvious reasons (scammers do follow this section of the forum). But basically, it's the eyes, teeth and their unnatural/correct position.  Also, the overall image light source is fucked in 90% of the time with over/under-exposed parts, light unevenly distributed illuminating the face in a very unusual way.

I don't know if i make any sense, i wish all fakes would look like this - image.
