Do you think a ICO launched with free doamin hosting ? Ethereumnano has created free website from https://www.weebly.com . Just check their domain name. You can build a free website from weebly.

Also no whitepaper on their website. Be careful before investing such as ICO.

Hello,

We are  working cooperatively with web hosting companies.One of them is Weebly and Weebly sponsored this project by covering 12% share of our total running budget.In return we are using their platform for our ICO.If you would like to cover our costs more than 12%, We'd be happy to use your service as well.

We all know that Weebly provides free website hosting,also we all know that using an independent domain and hosting would cost $10-15 , which is literally nothing.Thanks.

There used to be a lot of businesses back in the late 1990s and early 2000s that used free web hosting for their sites--it was sloppy and unprofessional back then, and it's even worse now.  Having said that, it's not evidence of a scam.  If that's the only warning sign, it would be basically a tiny red flag at the worst.  It definitely does not make you appear to exude confidence in what you're selling if you don't invest a little in your own website. 

I don't know why any ICO would do this, given how sketchy the whole scene is anyway.  Even the ICOs that are using fake profiles aren't using free web hosting if I'm not mistaken.

There is (2nd tab and it's full of plagiarized content).

- Is there an official statement (by them)?
- Did they allow you to copy the content of other apps/websites and pass them as if it belongs to your project?

Ethereumnano ICO's has failed to reach their target funding based on their Smart Contract Address. Crowdsale has been cancelled so even though it has two transactions all of them happened 129 days ago. I focused on using their address on their Flash sale.

Crowdsale cancelled

Flash Sale transaction (https://etherscan.io/address/0xa62e1A66C5d3e4D24f00B1eE407BFE0A61878ce8)

Their transaction/s only happened last 129 days ago even though their last day for the flash sale was December 15 which means that they haven't tricked people as they expected to be. All of their social media outlets as well as their medium webpage are all inactive.
