Their site didn't even load properly for me at first.

What I've found is that in most cases where the team is fabricated, you can usually tell that they are not what they claim by simply looking at the quality of the pictures, and seeing the expressions of the people in the photo, without performing a reverse image search.

Real team photos would generally be people wearing similar outfits standing in a similar position, without too much expression. Stock photos are completely different in that. Besides, the scammers did just a terrible job at trying to crop out the people from the images.

Also, the fact that they offer token sales directly by sending ETH to an address, without any sign up mechanisms, is a huge warning sign. No KYC and no signups on purchase mean that they aren't even bothered to invest in these features, and they're definitely no regulated. Watch out for those characteristics on ICOs as well.
