The BitIlluminati Website is an EXACT copy of the HOQU Website.

BitIlluminati Website: https://www.bitilluminati.com/
HOQU Website https://www.hoqu.io

Good Find.Obvious scam.
The copied one has nicely edited all the details from the original website which contained detailed information about the team/contact.Did you tried reporting them to the original website owners ? You should.Moreover,hiding the domain details raises another red flag that their ICO is a scam.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to send the HOQU Team an e-mail about this.

Congratulations for busting this. Many ICO's are scams so avoiding one is a huge impact (hoping many people would consider this as an inspiration) By peeling this off, hoping one day we could all help each other to eliminate the scam ICO's.

Great catch.

BitIlluminati didn't even make an attempt at making themselves look legit. Their entire site is literally copy pasted from Hoqu.

And that's not even to mention their obviously fraudulent business model. They claim that they are a lending platform, just like Bitconnect, and look what happened to Bitconnect already. They are clearly a ponzi scheme, who are also using someone else's site design entirely, most likely without their consent.

Just beware that all of these lending platforms are nothing more than scams trying to take your money. There's no secret "trading bot" that's generating profits, here.

Agreed, lending platforms are to be avoided, 99% of them are evil intended.

I sent an e-mail to HOQU, they already know about this and their lawyers work on it. So, BitIlluminati will pay for their tricks.

Yeah, good work OP. Either Hoqu and them are using the same template, or they have copied Hoqu's site entirely. Probably the latter.

All lending platforms have the intention of stealing money from their investors, BitIlluminati included. I haven't seen any that don't have that intention. If they promise you high guaranteed interest then that's a sign that they are a running a ponzi scheme.

They're offering the same thing Bitconnect, Regalcoin and all those scamcoins are offering. Their assumed business model is only a cover story for their ponzi scheme. It's a site/coin/ICO to be avoided for sure.
