Title: Qrapa Social - SCAM - FAKE TEAM, Plagiarism in WP
Post by: bubbalex on February 07, 2019, 04:42:31 PM
How I found it? They asked me to run for them ANN and Bounty, now I began to pay more attention to study of project and verification.

I'm not too good in finding scams, but at least something, you can freely add information if you have found something else.
I'm not looked to all team members, just searched until found this one.

If all the managers of the bounty carried out such a preliminary assessment of the projects, then a huge amount of scam could have been avoided, sadly, not everyone is involved in this. It takes a little time but it helps to quickly understand who is who. Good job, buddy. My congratulations to you.

Good job OP for denouncing them.  We looked into 2 other members and they are also fake = stealing people's identity.
Maybe the entire team is fake, we didnt search the other members yet.

First ask her which Lawyer is she referring to, the real one or the fake one = Igor Cherchesov?

And second, ask if she knows who she really is? Because apparently, she has another name.

She (or he) stopped communication after my last message and I blocked to not waste my time to 100% scam. Thanks for you work, she was first whom I was trying to check, I seen this similar photo too, but I decide to find another member with same image, not 99% similar, also I didn't know about this tool, with which you checked similarity.

Maybe it's problem with my internet, but at this moment their website doesn't work anymore.

Doesnt work for us either. Our best guess is that they are temporarily offline changing their team images because someone that made their website used wrong images. (lol)

Great job for keeping our industry clean from these scammers I have a second thought on projects that cannot do live events or youtube videos about their project and these people thought that they can get away with it, with their fake profiles.

Glad to see that bounty managers starting research before start any project. OP did a great job, keep it up. If all the bounty managers start research before they start any project then we can prevent scammers from beginning. That is the what I have been trying to motivate bounty managers. If I am not wrong more than 95% bounty managers never bother to research before they get work. I believe once a day we can change our mind and we can save other from scam trap. A scam project not only scamming hunters but also they are scamming investors by hunters. I appreciate OP work, just keep in eye if they make post on this forum. We need prevent them anyhow.

Yes, it's true, when I was new in bounty management I'm not wasted time to check projects carefully, also I wasn't informed how to do that, but after several mistakes I started to check it carefully and from now all my future projects will be checked as Qrapa and I also thinking about finding escrow for bounty tokens.

I am) I will waste more time on this in near future, I don't why, but it interesting for me.

Agree, I think all serious project should have video with all team before launching, but even if not - they should make it immediately after scam accusations, if not - 100% scam. It's easier thing ever when everyone have smartphones, just make stream somewhere. Even in Instagram will be good enough.

Because of you, ICOEthics and other scam hunters I joined to this too, your positive example is infectious)
