Also did some research after this post.
Checked Erin Cotter and that's indeed a fake profile, profile picture is stolen from Brittni J Coleman.

The rest of the team seems legit with no red flags.
They are doing great work with their pre-ico, sold a lot of tokens according their website.

Active community on Telegram.
Curious how this will turn out.

Great work lovesmayfamilis

I've asked in their Telegram for more info and they all say they have to talk with Ben, the CEO.

Seems like Ben is building a team with legit members and positions he cant fill in he is using a fake one.

This whole project smells

Ok, who will talk to Ben and who is founder of this project?

I see CEO, marketing person, community manager, 2 developers, designer and another marketing person.

Founder is nowhere to be found. Have you check other team members?

Got this responds from a team member:

Quote
Joost:
You speak to Dean already Ben? About the pretty serious concerns/allegations one of my team members expressed? About Erin Cotter?

Ben CEO:
Hi Joost, yes I've spoken to Dean. She's not on the new website about to launch. She's the only one I've not met in person or had a video call with. Had Skype calls but not video. Wait for new site

Joost:
So she's out of the team?

Ben CEO:
Oh yes.

But just have to make all the update one time. With new website. When we started and I was putting team together, she's one of the people that was recommended and did few Skype calls just like Dean.

Since I went public, I have a policy if I can't verify you I can't have you on team. Even the team behind the scene like developers etc.

I believe Ben is CEO and founder of this project.
Other team members are good. They are real profiles

New website should be going live in two weeks, with a team video.

Have you asked Ben is he founder of project or you are guessing?

Can you ask Ben to explain his model, as I don't see from where investors will get 200-400% in 89-179 days

And it seems they don't want to speak about it in their announcement thread, they rather choose to spam it with shills.

Ben Sanders (CEO):
Hello

This is not 200% return. If you read the small notes, the percentage is inclusive of the amount you campaigned

So a basic example here is this: I spend $1000 on buying traffic to a CPA offer with $100 per sale. Our goal is to make sure the traffic from $1000 investment produce minimum of 12 sales (that's $1200 - 20% return). We cycle this 3-4 times in a month. Returns are paid from these profits

These things have been explained early on in the projects and our admin team are there 24/7 to assist. Before the platform opens, members will have access to tools and explainer videos that will break these down

Maarten [CM]:
Ok thanks
You are they founder?

Ben Sanders (CEO):
Yes

This looks like you are very right.
I just received notice today that all Cresttoken websites are gone including the Telegram,
I would like to have a trace on these people and if anyone knows who they are, please send me a message or tell everyone here where they can be found, this is a blatant scam and theft of investors funds

Some investors had Bitcoin saved in there account and this was not part of the Crest as it was from sold coins, so in actual fact, this was stolen off the members.
I would very much like all the information on CEO Ben and all the other team members of Crest.

If there are other investors that know the whereabouts or real names of this team of scammers, I would like to see legal action taken against them and will proceed with a criminal complaint against them. 

This makes all developers of cryptocurrencies suspects of a scamming which 30% do anyway, its got that way you can not trust developers in a lot of ways

They were scammers a year ago. Therefore, we always try to warn investors. If the project has even a small fraction of fraud, then you should not expect anything good from this project.
