Title: Makebit.io - Plagiarized Whitepaper
Post by: tvplus006 on November 01, 2019, 01:52:35 PM
What happened: Plagiarized Whitepaper There are no links to original articles.

Studying the forum today, I met a request to check Makebit.io (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5110020.msg52944759#msg52944759) a potential ICO scam. Since the ICO Makebit.io is not finished yet, I decided to check out Whitepaper. You can see the result of the check below.

The team is not displayed
Social media no Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc.
Telegram Community also does not exist, how can teams interact with the community.

And I'm sure the sales that have been sold are a hoax so that investors trust more.

See 540,000,000 MKC has been sold (crap) and this is a scamer not a real sale.

Who in their right mind would buy any of this shit?  Are people still falling for these ICO scams?  Who are these people who keep putting their hand on the hot stove and never learn not to keep doing the same thing?

I would imagine most whitepapers are going to be plagiarized, by the way--and it's a great indicator of whether one of these things is going to end up being a scam.  It takes a lot of work to actually write a whitepaper with original content, and this is a shortcut that idiot scammers always seem to take.  Good catch, OP.

I think it was done by scamer to make it look real, I don't believe many investors buy ICO in MKC, it's just their common sense that important scamer has been found out so I hope no one else believes in a project like this.

Its a common trick by which these scammers encourage investors to make deposit on their platform. Just an eyewash and fake sale information which is controling by admin panel. In some cases many investors run after this kind of tokensale and get nothing but valueless token.

Stealing contents from other project or anywhere else is the clear sign of a scam project. If they haven't got the ability to create a whitepaper by their own then what better you can expect from them. Just an cheap old trick to steal money from people.

Are people still falling for these ICO scams? 

Fortunately, no. Scammers are just losing their time. No one will invest in something like this anymore.

Experienced people will not fall for the second time, ICO is no longer trusted by investors so it is unlikely to happen, but I am afraid of beginners who continue to invest because they know not experience how it was cheated by scamer.

Necessarily there are new participants in the Ponzi scheme who suffer losses from this scam. As an example, I will give my investigation of the bitcoin doubler https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192355.0 Despite the warning, we still see such messages that someone fell into this scam:
