Red flag #1

It is fairly typical for scammers to use well-known names, brands, etc...

Red flag #2

They are using https://wpdemo.oceanthemes.net/coeus-azure-blockchain/ for a website.

It's a fast and very easy way to create your own website, but

The only thing they changed from the template is the name of the token. They replaced "Coeus token" with "SPN token".

The rest content is the same as the template.

Moreover, they are using content from the template in their telegram group description! https://t.me/spn_ann

Actually people are sending ETH to them in order to win "ENJ giveaway".

I can't even open this scam website...it keeps loading, and maybe it is down allready, so I checked it on webarchive.
Looks like they are advertising on social media to attract more people for this scam.

That template is indeed used by a lot of shady projects
The same phrase appears in the FAQ, which makes no sense:


Same as here:
bstcoin(.)online
easygueston(.)com/crowdsale/
golos(.).io
egoldmining(.)com

and probably a lot more. No need to tell that probably all are scams.

As for this:
just lol.

But I'm surprised they've chosen to use Samsungs name, they might risk having their website shut or they domain seized, don't know if it was that smart of a move.

Already reported it to Namecheap. Hope it's taken down soon.

Using of well known brand may help them to attract more attention from "airdrop people", who only want fast money and don't pay attention to any red flags.

Fake Enjin giveaway to holders (I bet it is fake) is helping scammers to collect ether even faster.  

By the way, look at their team - they have got two CEOs - does it make sense?


Thanks, buddy. Hopefully, this will save someone's money and time.
