READ: Contents of the ANN were copied and plagiarized from two (2) sources, namely: dyp.finance and dify.finance. While I do understand that there may be DeFi-related projects with almost the same contents, copying and only altering the name constitute plagiarism. Also, I do have some serious doubts as to the identity of one of their members, namely AMELIA BRIGGS as it may be computer generated (hopefully you guys can check it).

I highly suggest that you avoid dealing with this user. In addition, the user did not answer to my allegation as his last online was on November 17, 2020.

Copied contents:

• https://dyp.finance/#/home
• https://dify.finance/

.... might be computer generated but I am not 100% sure.

Recently in defi projects that are arrange their website with very minimal information. Like they don't care about the whitepaper, sometime they don't care about the correct roadmap, and team member is so far to care. The surprising things despite a short information still they plagiarize from other source. If the investor don't care about their money now they will will regret in near when btc will go to moon but they can not earn enough.

And yeah I have also noticed the photo of the tean members of this project. It’s look like computer generated and maybe they use a male face to make it female. 😀

Since 90% of the team is anonymous and without proper photos, (one member is even named Jane Doe) this "Amelia Briggs" is either  generated or stock photo, most certainly that's not photo of the real person under that name, that is part of iFraming Finance. On top of that you can add an empty claim that their  team worked for some top companies like Google and IBM, without any proof like LinkeIn profiles. In the end, that doesn't even matter much as with the rest of the evidence you provided it's obvious that sole purpose of IFinance is to use DeFi hype to fool naive investors. Hell, even that part about being "unique platform" is copied from someone else. So much about uniqueness...

Considering all the above, I tagged the @yieldtoken and waiting for you to raise the flag.

Majority of the DeFi projects care not about their whitepaper bringing up unfulfilled roadmap, their purpose is to raise funds, list it on uniswap, that's all, some managed to create Liquidity Providers (LP). The successful DeFi projects does not even conduct bounty programs, and if they do they reward in ethereum.
Its a hard thing now to find out the best DeFi project.

Their usual practice is to post a DeFi project which has been recycled by countless of projects on the internet and post it under the ANN, token, or bounty boards. Newbies would try and participate in their bounties and the member who posted such project will not go online ever again. Unfortunately, DeFi projects have created a stigma that most are just plagiarized and copy-pasted projects across the same source over and over again.

*EDIT - I have updated the thread and added a FLAG. Kindly support in order to notify users of their suspicious behaviour. Thank you very much!

I supported Flag based on the fact that they plagiarized content.
I also tried to search for their two images from their team but I could not confirm if they used real or AI faces.

Thank you for the warning! Unfortunately, scammers are actively using the current popularity of defi in order to take advantage of its popularity and steal funds. It would be great to come up with something that will once and for all save us from scam projects and from human greed.

For every new scam that is uncovered, hundred more come out. They are not looking to scam a huge population or newbies but only a few are enough before the scam gets taken down either in this forum or by the domain supplier.

Even the you have to be careful and this is not difficult. They all have similar methods to make their projects looks legit - fake team pictures, copied whitepapers, similar sounding domain names to copy out the trend of DeFi and thus gain SEO from every search engine out there.

Its best to assume every new DeFi project is a disguised scam.

Sometimes, I think it is better to just list the legit DeFi projects, those which have original whitepapers, legit team and real development of their platform. Because we will have short list on those aspects and the rest are just scam DeFis.

I also observed same trend in the last few months. Many new DeFi projects are coming but they don't care about their whitepaper, roadmap, token sale information, about the project, members of the team. This is very bad sign of new trend. If an investors doesn't find his necessary information from a website where they want to invest, really he feels negative mind about that project. iFarming is now trying to cheat but at last they have been caught by this investigation.

Every new DeFi I always suspect it even if the display is simple then this should be on my suspicion I don't want this to happen to beginners because scamers are always on new trends when new investors want to try with DeFi they will make as similar they can even I believe in action The current DeFi is no longer that impressive and therefore we should be more wary of suspicious DeFi.
Shrouded projects exist if we have the time to research them,

Oh well, looks like I'll take out this project from my list in doing bounty campaigns, so it goes to my trash bin. Glad that I have checked the red trust of the thread starter and ended up right here. It can be easily determined through plagiarism checker online tools, reverse image search, etc. Good job on spotting the copied content plus the possible computer generated image.
