All the team members have names taken straight from famous English and French footballers! Dean Gerken - goalkeeper, Ipswich Town Martin Doyle - defender, Queen of the South Tyree Wilson - midfielder, Derby County Football Club Lewis Dunk - center fielder, Brighton & Hove Albion Remy (Michael) Cabella - midfielder, AS Saint-Étienne Florian Chabrolle (Chabro) - midfielder, Ligue 1 side Marseille Talk about lazy!

Post by: Theb on April 18, 2019, 08:53:03 AM Took a shot on finding their teams' real identity but I came out short on finding nothing about them, however I think its enough that nutildah have pointed out that they are 6 of 6 on using names of footballers on their fake profiles to create an identity. The pictures they have taken might just be from social media profiles of not known people that is why it is hard to do a search on it. Also them copying from various projects is enough to show that they aren't really a real project.

That's definitely a good find, I didn't bother searching for their names. Took a shot on finding their teams' real identity but I came out short ~snip~The pictures they have taken might just be from social media profiles of not known people that is why it is hard to do a search on it. These photos are not taken from social media or anything like that, you can never find their real identities, they don't exist. It's a mashup photo so to speak. If anyone needs more information on where these pictures comes from and how to tell they are fake, just shoot me a PM. I don't want to give wannabe scammers any tips.

I am laughing at those pictures. Definitely, this amateur scammer picked the worse fake pictures for a team. This technology still far away to be perfect and leave all traces behind. Let them use it, it will be an easy job for us (scam hunters) finding them. I think this is the fourth or fifth case using these type of images that I saw recently. Was Cabella in that church fire in Paris? Soon summer will be here and we will see a lot more of those images. I urge all scam hunters to learn how to identify those images asp. |
