Less than 1 hour later after exposed, this is what their ANN post looks like:
They changed the topic name from Tawagar to DEEX EXCHANGE.

UPDATE:

and now they replaced their ANN post with this:

Jeez, they really put a lot of effort into building plagiarising their entire project and site.

They're not only a scam exchange, but also a scam project trying to raise funds, it seems. Essentially, a site with likely scams both the investors and users of their exchange (that is, if it ever gets launched). The poorly designed site, the fact that they have no team, and no proof of registration of their company and even their location should have been a dead giveaway.

This is why you always research projects thoroughly before investing, because there are just so many plagiarised whitepapers and fabricated teams out there.

Deex seems to be owned by the same person, or at least affiliated with Tawagar, which is confirmed to be a scam. Do not invest in that. Good job OP on archiving the ANN thread before they edited it.

The scammer posted this message on their ANN post. I think the idea was to show us their other scam sites.. (or maybe that wasn't the intention)  ;D
