These scammers still bring in fake teams to steal investors ’money. Scammers always try to figure out how to easily scam. People are afraid to invest in good projects for such scammers. This leads to misconceptions about the crypto market. They haven't posted an Announcement thread on Bitcointalk yet, because they might have thought their fake team wouldn't be caught if they didn't have an Ann on Bitcointalk.

It's the victims' fault on trying to put the blame on someone when they should be blaming themselves for being to careless with their money, its the same as people/investors blaming Bitcoin is a "bubble" after they lost all their money because they jump on BTC when it has risen. If you think about it, if they just did this kind of background checking where they check for plagiarisms and fake teams they won't be fooled by this types of fake projects easily.

They haven't posted an Announcement thread on Bitcointalk yet, because they might have thought their fake team wouldn't be caught if they didn't have an Ann on Bitcointalk.

I doubt that this is the case, a lot of projects haven't put their projects here most of them are IEOs so their marketing are done in the exchange's platform, aside from that they might just didn't have any time to post their fake project here in the forum, but it is a good thing that OP caught the scam early on before they posted any of their promotion here.

And you know what's even funnier?

Code:
coininfinity3@gmail.com 

Lol, a project which uses a gmail account as official email? Pretty obvious that this is a classic scam stunt to deceived crypto investors.

There is another interesting thing that I found on the first page of their whitepaper - link to some scam website infinity.com, which is blocked by Metamask.
 
It seems that these guys already tried to scam with infinity token thing, but were reported by experienced users.

It is obvious that no honest project would mention the scam domain on the first page, they just forgot to hide that evidence.

Every scammers make mistakes and their mistake works as a clue for us. We should thank them for making mistakes because due to their mistakes we are getting opportunities to reveal their scam plans. Hahaha,,, These brainless idiots haven’t got minimum ability to run a real business rather than stealing other people’s identity.  
 
Yeap,,,most probably they tried to steal people's money in the past and as a result someone reported about them.    
For this case i wanna say  :),,, "keep doing mistakes continuously and let scam busters to reveal your evil face"

As long as they are making stupid mistakes we have an opportunity to catch them very quickly, before they take someone's money, that is absolutely right. On the one hand.
On the other hand, if they are not so stupid, it becomes almost impossible to find any evidence of them being dishonest people.
Hence, in order to avoid being scammed people shoud be careful when dealing with suspicious project like that one above, and they should be even more careful when project has no signs of scam, it might be more dangerous to deal with.

Thats the best part. Specially their fake team and plagiarism is the part of their mistakes.

Investors should be much careful to pick the real project for them. Nowadays its quite rare to get ICO projects with strong background, professional team and real future plans. This field have already been crowded with a massive number of scammers who are always planning to steal peoples money by creating a 100$ website with maximum stolen contents. I always like to call them complete garbage rather than a crypto project.

All we can do is just giving information to investors about this kinda trap but investors have to take their final decision by their own.
