THIS IS NOT A SCAM ACCUSATION

ETHERFIN (https://etherfin.tech) has FAKE TEAM AND PLAGIARIZED WHITEPAPER.

Website: https://etherfin.tech

I found the Whitepaper of SUREREMIT (https://sureremit.co) and ETHERFIN (https://etherfin.tech) totally similar. I don't know who has paralyzied from whom as no dates to the Whitepaper postage is recorded. It would be great if some fellow Scam Buster's could find some more evidence.

[One more fun fact is I also found another 2 projects with similar content in there Whitepaper paper here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5131066.msg50572868#msg50572868). One of them is already proclaimed as scam.]

SUREREMIT has a recently created ANN here so I am inclined to think that it is a newer project than ETHERFIN but I could not find any ANN about ETHERFIN posted on the forum.

SUREREMIT ANN: [ANN] SureRemit: An Ecosystem for Global Non-cash Remittances (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5131057.0)

Hoping for more info about it to be posted here.

Fake team report. Thank You @lovesmayfamilis.

Perhaps if we start from the date of the site, then SureRemit.co is older.

And the creation date of the tweeter. And tweeter posts have late dates.

etherfin.tech has no information.

But there is a fake team.

The advisors are also all fake.
I archived the site in case of its resurrection.

I found another project that contains similar parts in white paper.

Most likely it is the same company that uses one document for all occasions.

As SUREREMIT history is traced to be before ETHERFIN, so we could say that ETHERFIN has copied the content from SUREREMIT and has a plagiarized Whitepaper.

Thank You for finding the team pics and connections it makes the project ETHERFIN as a scam for sure. (Edited the thread title)

Good catch bro!

As I said, I have found many projects using same content in there Whitepaper. AIRTRANSFER (http://airtransfer.io) is an add up to the list.

I'm still wondering who was the original source. Air Transfer has a references list, but SUREREMIT doesn't.

He has links to resources. Look closely.

I think ETHERFIN is the culprit here as they have most of the content plagiarized without any reference and team faked and is right to be accused. Though I don't find them promoting there project on the forum.

My bad, did not notice the pink font on a white background, but the question remains unanswered. :)

In my opinion, these projects could not use the same pieces of text from different sources. This is an incredible coincidence.

Firstly, let me apologize for the late response. I just got to see this particular thread and thought of responding to it. I am a member from the SureRemit community and can answer all your queries.

While, I don't know anything about ETHERFIN or any other project, I can vouch for the authenticity of SureRemit project. The founders of the project are Oye and Samuel Biyi who are currently also working as mentors at Binance Labs (check our ANN thread). We are a fairly old project and had an ICO in early 2018. The ANN thread quoted above is a new one to update the community about the progress of the project on a weekly basis. We have a successfully running product with our app on the iOS and Android helping users to send cross border remittances at zero fees. I would welcome you all to check out all the details on our project and would request to put up a disclaimer that Sureremit has not plagarized/copied anything from anyone. The initial statements give out a negative impression to the readers.

Feel free to ask me about any discrepancy that you notice and I will be more than happy to answer them.

P.S. Not to brag but the founders are Forbes 30 Under 30 and highly respected in the startup community in Africa. Also our project is funded by some of the most reputed Venture Capital firms (who would have done their due diligence) from across the world. Check out the details in ANN/Website for more info.
