Post by: The Cryptovator on August 23, 2019, 05:32:00 AM Look like OP of ANN thread had not locked the thread. I have seen OP left a reply there. Thread maker didn't diligence his own about that project. Team photo mentioned by OP is 100% generated from internet. Take a look below photo and zoom it, now see the part I have red marked.

I would encourage to tag OP of ANN thread if he don't want to respond here. I have sent him PM to reply on this thread. Title: Re: MegaEther.co - fake team and plagiarized whitepaper! Post by: malikusama on August 23, 2019, 08:49:29 AM I want to clarify few things
1. I am not directly connected to this project. 2. I don’t hold any funds. 3. I just paid for my thread creation and moderation. I just locked the thread until the representative will provide me the proof that it’s not a scam. Thanks Title: Re: MegaEther.co - fake team and plagiarized whitepaper! Post by: morvillz7z on August 23, 2019, 12:33:36 PM I just locked the thread until the representative will provide me the proof that it’s not a scam. Thank you for locking the thread and pausing the bounty (might as well lock that one too). I'm not sure what type of evidence they have to bring to prove that they are not a scam, I just don't see it. 2/3 of their website is copied from Fire Lotto, the rest - cold staking and cold staking workflow is copied from Callisto, substituting only Callisto with Mega. You add the fake team along with the plagiarized whitepaper, that's whole lotta bullshit right there. No excuses or explanations won't stop me to tag and flag any new threads created for MegaEther.

It is tricky thing to create ANN thread for someone else, as it could ruin your reputation. So better to think twice before you decide to do it. Double check team and write notice that you are only the creator of ANN and not a part of the team. |
