Actually, there is no big secret how to spot a scammer outside the forum. It is a common situation when such projects with many of red flags upon them try to avoid ann here. The reason is that they can't offer anything really useful besides other project's ideas, fake teams, plagiariarized whitepapers and stolen content.

It goes without saying that they have no chance to survive here. Fortunately for us, but unfortunately for naive investors they have other ways to promote scam. The thing is to find these ways and try to stop scammers at the very beginning.

Concerning particular methods which i use to expose scam, i would rather not disclosure it, because I don't want to teach how to prevent getting caught.

In most cases this kinda scammers don't want to take risks of being caught on forum. From my investigation i have seen couple of projects who didn't feel it necessary to make ANN here and most surprising thing is that without having ANN they got listed on some exchanges. Its because some shady exchanges just care about their listing fees where investors security is nothing to them. There was a time when bounty hunters were tempted to join any new ICO projects without thinking about its legality or background. As a result in most of the time they got nothing but useless tokens on their wallet which has got no value in real sense. Day by day they have been able to take lesson from their past doings and now they are not so interested to be a promoter on those projects which are nothing but a trap of stealing money from crypto investors. Hopefully entire thing gonna change a lot in the near future and most probably we will be able to see only real Crypto projects ANN on Bitcointalk.

Thanks  witcher_sense for continuing your investigation against this kinda fucking scammers. It doesn't matter that they are listed on forum or not. Revealing these evil faces is the main fact IMO.

Seems like their smart contract address "0x78863E62856D8C2047061F447C7E55c5838b7064" has some ties with a wallet address labelled as Fake_Phishing2820 on Etherscan too.

Here are the TX hashes:
0xc4c43e00d6a9a4dd921cb72a56cc6216023d619462e0527d2022b290aa12f7c6
0xc786ff692a4ed9071e5e7e435f0d2358e77d0a1a050e7fa89292ccf2a808764b
0xd209c33fd763266223d14c71f0dfa8bcf11ce53986991b655091f4d15025232d

I guess it's safe to say that they're an outright scam at this point.
