Title: Claymore Token - fake team members!
Post by: morvillz7z on June 20, 2019, 01:31:52 PM
What happened: Fake team members, stealing people's identity!

Reference Link: https://claymoretoken.com/

Announced by: claymoretoken (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2629392)

ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156346.0

  • I found a few fake team members but I believe everyone listed there is fake, all names sound way too generic.
  • Their website is just 5 days old, no whitepaper and of course fake LinkedIn profiles.
  • One of the team members with fake identity is actually a somewhat famous former NHL player - Mike Komisarek

"Darrell" indeed has a weird look but I don't think he is shopped, it's just a stolen picture from someones' portfolio or something.


Lol, they were quick to remove those fake team members:

Hi, unfortunately due to caching issues while setting up cloudflare templated team members were shown and we have removed them, thanks for noticing!

I guess they will blame cloudfare for fake LinkedIn profiles as well  ;D

Apologies for this accident, it happened due to setting up cloudflare and wordpress caching. We have outsourced frontend development and those were used as placeholder pictures while we are still working on designing the actual team section as you can tell from templated parallax background having some icons of original template. We are a bit in a hurry due to how market is behaving so we rushed with our airdrop without checking everything from external frontend cache hit.

The reason why those pictures and names ended up on linkedin accounts is due having outsourced frontend and social media manager so what was displayed on website was also used on linkedin accounts

If you find any more mistakes please do let us know!  :)

Even one of their admin (Lily) in Telegram has a fake picture.

is of a underground Mexican model lol.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu8XWfgqpv/?igshid=lpgyeblckmd0

Another admin (Lucy C) also has a fake picture of some random Russian girl (image search throws up a lot of hits).

Another admin (channel creator) telegram name is literally "CEO of Claymore". Like come on. CEO of Claymore? What is this? Corporate company now? lol At least write your name or something.

Their website lists partnerships with Ethereum, Metamask and MEW.

Lists upcoming exchanges, Mercatox, coinexchange and... Binance lol

Website looks to be created by someone in their teens. Poor use of the English language and website layout barely displays properly on mobile.

Summary: Anonymous team/person with fake names/photos, fake partnerships, fake LinkedIn profiles and fake exchange promises. Also website is brand new (5 days old)/poorly written. Also their Bitcointalk response is borderline laughable. CloudFlare cache? lol. How about explaining the fake LinkedIn profiles?

So it looks extremely likely to be a scam coin / get rich quick scheme for the creator(s). Anonymous/fake team means they can cash out without anyone being able to identify them.

Good catch OP. Tagged and supported newbie flag from my side. Its look to me that they have photoshopped their most of picture which is highly suspicious. That's why a little search could save lot of people's from scam. Personally I can't trust any project who have used fake team members.

If you find any more mistakes please do let us know!  :)
Will you pay for that ?

Thats a funny answer for me. Wow!!! What a sign of professionalism. Hey man, if you think you could settle this matter by giving false excuse then you are living on 19th century :).

Impressive work OP. Thanks for revealing another scam project which will definitely help crypto investors to take right decisions before investing. Its really expecting to see these kinda scammers on current market situation. I think all responsible community user should be aware of it and try a little much to save worldwide crypto investors and crypto's fame too.

So when you outsource someone to create your site, do not you communicate with those people? Do not you deliver the real data of your team?

We are a bit in a hurry due to how market is behaving...

should not you worry about creating something useful to the world instead of just being worried about the market?

The reason why those pictures and names ended up on linkedin accounts is due having outsourced frontend and social media manager so what was displayed on website was also used on linkedin accounts

and you do not supervise the work they do so that you correct a mistake if have? This is a very weak argument.

Guy also says we're new, give us time to list our team.

I ask at least can I have your name. He replies give us time, but everyone calls me Leo, but I'm Leon. lol

We have given a token bounty to people as return to moderating our chat, since moderating 5000 people and more is really hard and time consuming, they are not part of the team. Weak fud to project people moderating telegram are team members  ???

>Their website lists partnerships with Ethereum, Metamask and MEW.
We are using ETH, Metamask and MEW.

>Lists upcoming exchanges, Mercatox, coinexchange and... Binance lol
DDEX was there too, and we got listed on DDEX yesterday, seems like we are delivering on our promises.

>So it looks extremely likely to be a scam coin / get rich quick scheme for the creator(s). Anonymous/fake team means they can cash out without anyone being able to identify them.
Wait few more days for us to complete the airdrop. Quite unfortunate people project and assume we are a scam,however its expected due to how many scams crypto space has.

We do communicate with outsourced workers, however due to time difference we cant have a real time communication 24/7.

Early bird gets the worm. There are thousand of Bitcoin clones, but bitcoin has first mover advantage.

>and you do not supervise the work they do so that you correct a mistake if have? This is a very weak argument.
we do, everything looked fine on internal _cache_bypassed_ environment, its just that the frontend that the world sees was different due to caching and cloudflare.

We are quite busy managing social media of 10000 people, preparing for airdrop and communicating with exchanges. Literally thousands of messages a day. You are not a special snowflake to be treated that way due to spreading FUD on forum or attempting to pursue fake justice.

>I ask at least can I have your name. He replies give us time, but everyone calls me Leo, but I'm Leon. lol
What is the real life name of Satoshi Nakamoto? Is Bitcoin scam due to its creator not revealing his name?

your arguments are weak and laughable

did CloudFlare cache this as well? https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrel-jackson-85a199184/

lol

ddex has low requirements. they basically list anyone who applies

the scam is super obvious. promise everything later, names, white paper, app, exchanges

send airdrop out asap

dump on ddex or forkdelta and disappear

like how difficult is it to provide a photo, profile and name of your CEO or team member? it's not rocket science

>did CloudFlare cache this as well? https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrel-jackson-85a199184/
Both frontend designer as well as social media managers were outsourced. As we said before the reason LinkedIn accounts had those pictures/names is due to social media manager visiting claymoretoken.com and receiving the cached version of website.

>ddex has low requirements. they basically list anyone who applies
Unfortunately for you we discussed directly with DDEX CEO about our listing and were approved without applying.

>the scam is super obvious. promise everything later, names, white paper, app, exchanges
Projecting without any sort of evidence apart from templated pictures/section of website is nothing but FUD at this point. We promised DDEX, two days later we delievered, We promised airdrop, we are delivering right now.

>dump on ddex or forkdelta and disappear
We contacted over 10 exchanges in the past few days for our listing and even paid fees to be listed, again projecting based off hate and pre-judged assumptions.

>like how difficult is it to provide a photo, profile and name of your CEO or team member? it's not rocket science
We are very busy doing the airdrop, once that is done you can expect team reveal, providing a photo, profile and name of CEO will only make you say its fake. Again, I encourage you to contact Satoshi Nakamoto and ask for his picture, profile and name. Let me know how that goes.

p.s what idiot has social media managers managing their PERSONAL LinkedIn. This is a first I've ever heard of such a thing for any crypto project. LinkedIn is meant to be a history/resume. You don't just create it out of thin air and for the whole team.

I support you and everyone in this thread that is trying to weed out scams in this space, as it should be done. But every once in a while there will be a legitimate project which will screw up on >day 1< of launch, people make mistakes... even Bitcoin had hundreds of bugs in its code, and recently few bugs were revealed(even by Bitcoin Cash devs that are also labeled as scammers- oh the irony).

Instead of ignoring all these accusations we are replying to every single one of them.

Unfortunately it seems that your hate for scams is blinding you so much you refuse to accept when your accusations have no ground.

It's not deflection if its backed by actual actions done instead of made up words.

- DDEX listing in two days of promising it: DONE
- Airdrop within two days of launch: DONE
- Paid exchange listings out of our own pockets: DONE

 DDEX listing in two days of promising it: EASY. Any coin can do this easily.

All I can do is warn other members to beware of Claymore because so far, nothing solid to prove it's not a scam yet. In-fact there are more things to point it as a scam (so far).

Complain and cry FUD all you like but so far, it is what it is.

Funny thing is I applied for the airdrop, with fake details (but correct wallet address), did none of the tasks like retweet, like, follow etc and still got the airdrop 😆

Seems like they don't even bother to check. Further proving it to be a scam.

Funny thing is, you can't even shove those coins up your ass because they are worthless. You wasted your time putting those fake details.

I really cracked up at the NHL player identity stealing. Like what retard does it take to copy-pasta such a famous personality?

They recently added a new set up of team members (https://i.ibb.co/vBwqhpL/collier.png), some of them even showing IDs and driving licenses etc.  :o lol

Michael Collier and Oluwasegun Faluyi appear to be CEO and Advisor for another sketchy ICO called EVACASH (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5076975.0), which is listed on an even sketchier exchange Coinlim, cmc bound too (20k volume).

https://twitter.com/michcollier1

I had some trouble verifying Michael Collier's identity though, there are publications on both facebook/blogspot about African scammers blackmailing women on dating websites using similar photos under different names: Cody Collier, Paul Collier Scott, I even found him under the name of Trey.
