Title: [To DT Members] Zircash is scam and they still continuing their operation
Post by: JackHV on October 07, 2018, 04:17:06 AM
Hello everyone I want to notify every one of you that Zircash is maybe a scam project , they running an ICO without an info about the team or person/s behind the zircash project they didnt include that info on their whitepaper also on their website (something fishy).

like to trade on the cryptocurrency market but due to a lack of experience
or skills, don’t know how to get started. Today CryptoCurrency is becoming
mainstream. As a result, the profits to be made from trading Cryptocurrency

Most likely a scam. I've never seen any ICO with their sale active that are still not showing/providing any details of their team. They lack customer support as well. I checked their thread and they're not responding.

It's a joke isn't it?

Quote from:  website
Zircash is the newest cryptocurrency that is as affordable as bitcoin was during its initial days. So all interested in investing in cryptocurrencies can blindly trust Zircash by connecting with it and also avail the exclusive offers provided by it.

Quote from:  from FAQs
Q: Which cryptocurrency is best to buy today?
A: The best cryptocurrency to buy is one we are willing to hold onto even if it goes down.
For example, I believe in Zircash enough that I am willing to hold it even if it goes down 99% and would start buying more of it if the price dropped.

These people definitely deserve to be red tagged. There is a new ANN thread on the horizon and a new set of fake team members. Guess they don't give up that easily.  ;D

Anyway, OP good job in finding this poorly made scam attempt. So many of them out there though.

Best part of this is the fact that "zircash" just wasted 0.002ish (not much but feels good) on purchasing the "Copper membership".
