Guys on the first and third picture are exactly the same as guys linked to and you can probably find more pictures on their twitter account(third picture).
I am not sure about guy on the second picture(he is linked to politician which has many pictures on internet although they are very similar)

Pretty clear scam, almost like they are not even trying to hide it honestly. Definitely fake. I know some projects that have investors or someone in their team that wants to remain anonymous and they might use someone else photo but in this case it's clearly not that.

Congratulations on having found one more scammers, it would be great if all people stopped being lazy and did research on the project they intend to invest, after I read this thread, I went to the ANN Thread of SFCapital.io and I saw this:

Hey all! I hope that the project will satisfy all that has been estimated.

Hello, team.
This is a very nice business with ability! Very nice business, watchful logo, excellence business.

see the post story of this guy:

 :o

What the hell does this guy have?

continuing..

I am check in website on your idea, It's really nice. Judicious plan, engaging project, brilliant job!

 :o
he did not even spend 5 minutes to investigate the project and even then, he is praising the project

I have carefully studied the descriptions of this project, but I have not understood whether you are going to switch to your own blockchain in the future or not ?

But he not found that team members are fake



This shows that people do not spend their time investigating the projects they invest in, and I really believe that the reason is because most people are looking at ICOs as if it were a game

The majority of Alt - Tokens - Bounty is filled with these type of newbie accounts shitposting left and right. I don't find any these to be potential investors, they rather about to spam signature campaigns once they reach jr.member. There are also paid bumping services involved.
Having small merit to become jr.member or limiting sig. to member or full member as other people have mentioned earlier isn't a bad idea.

A month from now, these accounts will be asking if there are any "sluts" open in signature campaigns.  ;D

And it seems there is a shortage of sluts available for members on bitcointalk

I am very interested to join your campaign dear manager, pleased give me a slut.

Hi Stawberries , I've left reply that i"ve been ranked up to member . If there's no sluts left for members can u tell me . Because don't to stay as Jr.member

Hello manager please tell me how many sluts are open in this campaign, can i join this campaign now freely or i think my chances are minimum to select in the campaign? Thanks

Hello manager let me express my interest if there is slut left and if am qualified.

Great stuff, OP.

I don't even know what the problem they are trying to resolve through their project, or what purpose their project will serve. Usually when the whole underlying idea is this vague, the ICO itself is probably nothing but a money making machine for the admins who will at best, deliver the promised product and just move onto the next project. And of course, fake teams are an instance sign of a scam, as they do not want to seem to be unprofessional as they don't have any real past experiences, or are planning an exit scam.

It's becoming a trend recently that scam ICOs are increasingly trying to fabricate their team, and the trails are usually left behind on the team photos. Always do research on the photos, if you are an investor.
