I firstly found the following user suspicious and bumping the ANN. All of them are registered on the same date which is today!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1769810
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2584225
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2584228

They will surely create more accounts to bump there thread throughout the day.

Other content is also plagiarized from the same source, I have not listed all the screenshots.

Hello OP

Dont forget to archive everything: whitepaper, website, etc. As often scammers delete everything once exposed.

Here are some good websites to archive.

- https://archive.is  
- http://web.archive.org/

if you have a problem just ask and we will help you.

Now they are lastly breaking a forum rule, here


I have reported the posts for duplicate posting is same board, hope moderation would react to it soon and ban those accounts.

When considering a dispute, copying Whitepaper to your site will not be enough. I have seen some keep the whitepaper to google into their documents - this is also not correct. A scammer can always say that you edited their Whitepaper. Therefore, the most correct decision archiving only through http://web.archive.org

We are aware of that, but since their WP is downloadable only, we had no choice. But we did archive it http://web.archive.org/web/20190418145246/http://icoethics.com/imgs/other/FOREX_TRADING_TOKEN.pdf on the day that we downloaded to our website. Maybe someone else can download and archive it as well.   (edited: link fixed)

As I understand you have taken the wrong link for archiving.
