But those are actually stock photos used in many other websites

So 6/6 team members have fake photos, enough evidence to stay away from this as far  away as possible!

Crossposted from [ANN] thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200787.msg53067481#msg53067481)

well keep a good eye on the project and you will not be disappointed
we are replacing stock photos to simple male female stock photos you can check

These are the names of our team members and all the real photographs of full team will be in place within 2 days be assured

Help me out, I'm a little confused here.
This thread is the Tradeplus [ANN] thread yeah?
Then must I assume that this posting account, CVCCAnalytics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2626472) is the admin of Tradeplus? Or why would they use words like "our team" and "we are replacing"?
If that's correct and the two schemes are run by the same people, then this is the other scheme's website?
https://cryptoverificationcoin.com/
Let's see what CVCCAnal have to say about the services they offer....

(Bear in mind that there is a Scam Accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200797.0) against these people for using fake photos of their admin)

We use 3D facial recognition for developers

Verification of the Developers of a project
A verified Developer on CVCC platform has gone through our rigorous processes of identity verification including document verification, identity verification and existence verification.

Verification of a project
Be it ICO or an upcoming project, we at CVCC clear the project as SAFE only after it passes our project security parameters and safety guidelines. Like for developers, all background verification data are encrypted and saved only to be used in situations of frauds or exit scams.

If you are a new project or an existing coin you can apply for a clearance certificate from us. The clearance is an assurance of your existence to the investors and the crypto market.

Hmmm.
I think my Irony Meter has just broken.

Yeah i noticed that too, that it is probably same team behind both of those projects. But they were smarter with Crypto Verification Coin, they didn't share their fake team photos. That one looks dodgy as well, as  whenever i see someone boasting with Certificate of Incorporation, i have a feeling that something weird is going on.

Have you seen their CMC listing (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cryptoverificationcoin/markets/)?
$38m "market cap" on $247 total 24 hour volume.... ::)
Coinmarketcap can rot in hell, along with all the shitcoin scams it facilitates.

You are completely right and i think both of these project is running by same person. First one has already been detected with fake team members and second one is not different IMO. I have checked second one from my end and their social media links are empty. They haven't put their team section on website and it seems another scam to me.

Take a look here;

Yeah I saw, I guess they have an army of hodlers, no one wants to sell their coins  :P

But yes i agree about Coinmarketcap, they simply don't care. They are into all this  together, sites like CMC, Icobench and these shitcoin projects.

Sorry for the hijack Rikafip, supported your original flag and thinking about starting one for Anal.

Supported the flag and all I can say is that they have tried poorly to scam people here. The photos they have taken are obviously grabbed from the internet and seriously only a few people will believe in this kind of shit they are trying to pull. And not they are trying to say that "all the real photographs of full team will be in place within 2 days be assured" bullshit to our faces they are really this desperate to pulling of this scam so I supported the flag to prevent this from happening.

I've been warning people for a couple of years about CMC - it's just a platform to promote scams/shitcoins for payment. Why on earth people still use them for reference I don't know.

I took the initiative and created a flag against their new account, if anyone wants to support/oppose it - here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=986)!

Did they really think they could get away unnoticed? Well yeah, that's not gonna happen. haha

What is even worse , they admitted that both names and pictures were fake, and  yet those names are still there, they still haven't updated that part with teams real name and photos.
When i saw them posting new Ann, i thought that they at least sorted that part, but it seems that they are reluctant to  share their real identity. I wonder why...

team part is not our it was done by webdevelopers who added this section neither any of this team member name is right neither the pictures are rite , this flag raised we will put real names pictures along with team social profiles to clear the confusion alltogether
