Title: Trade Bull Coin - Red Flag - High Level Of Suspicion. Photo Proof Included
Post by: coinrating.co on April 13, 2018, 11:28:56 AM
CoinRating received an ICO submission from Trade Bull Coin

Team profiles for Trade Bull Coin, produced a high level of suspicion to our ICO rating team.

Their team members do not provide any further credentials and a quick google image search found their pictures to be stock photos. (Photos Attached)

Please investors, take care and complete your due diligence prior to investing in an ICO.

Great catch. Even their UI/UX designer is using a fake image: 1 (https://medium.com/wogrammer/isis-anchalee-f5e075f59da0) and 2 (http://www.pinsdaddy.com/isis-anchalee-imgur_9m3qgOHvh08nrjRzLgHSvzolU0EmQtli1mHCUPV1*Yc/) (I no longer checked the advisors).
- In addition to those, they're using Serenity's (https://serenity-financial.io/) template (starts from the middle of the page).

Good stuff, OP. Their ICO website is tradebullcoin.io, and apparently you can't find it through google search.

Their team is all fake, and so are all their advisors, it seems. In fact, 3 of the 4 listed advisors only have their first names mentioned. Their site is an unfinished project, as their advisors are all referred to as their "founder", which also indicates that they most likely have used a template in order to build their site instead of building it from scratch themselves.

One of the biggest signs of an ICO being scam is that they are using fake team members. It means that they have no credibility if they used their own profiles. This is an ICO to be avoided, they could even just take your money and not even give you the promised tokens.

Great investigative work. With a name like trade bull coin you can kind of tell it's a scam coin anyway! You would think they would use a better source than shuttershock for scam staff photos
