I read one of the parts where they mentioned their technology stack and it hurts my brains to read it. It's so bad, inappropriate, and illogical that the original paper is as bad as the copied one. Someone thought putting all those technologies and fancy technical terms are going to make their project look legit. Wrong. Both of these services are a scam.

There is an obvious and blatant copypasta of the idea of the other project here, this scam doesn't contain neither original vision nor own words to describe what they "created". I'd suggest to create an yellow flag to warn others, in order to prevent investing funds into this kind of fraud.

P.S. Good find OP,  and good start after a long break

Simply copy paste means they doesn't want to spend time and they need only money. After raised fund they would skip with fund because their intention is scam. It's very very bad to copy paste other content and steal other ideas. So I will suggest stay away from this kind of project and stay safe.

Welcome back OP, keep up your good works.

Thinking about past is nothing but a waste of time. Your contribution for this forum was so necessary and that's why you came back to us again with your rare scam catching skill. I think you were not the only one who missed this forum but i believe so many members also missed you last couple of weeks.

Thanks from my side for revealing those scammers. Tagged and flag support done from my end.

I didn't understand anything about this project, but I saw this:

The question I have is:

- Why did the scammers run to delete? because he didn't make any posts:

Good find. If they had published a photo of the team, we would have learned a lot more about this ICO
