Title: Earnsbit - fake team, grossly photoshopped images!
Post by: morvillz7z on July 13, 2019, 08:43:01 PM
What happened: Fake team, post-processed stock photos.

Reference Link: https://earnsbit.com

Announced by: earnsbit.com (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2633035)

ANN: [ANN]✅[IEO] EARNSBIT - THE REVOLUTIONARY ZERO-FEE EXCHANGE✅ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164231.0)

Flag 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=451

  • Earnsbit has a fake CEO and team members, images are taken from stock websites and then went through serious manipulation in photoshop.
  • 4 of the 5 members are verified by ICOHolder. Link (https://icoholder.com/en/earnsbit-30481)
  • Fake LinkedIn profiles, this is now a standard for every self-respected scam project.
  • Photoshop guy with zero to no skill in digital rhinoplasty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I wanted to make an accusation on them but it seems that the images that I can find are not similar when I just used the https://www.reverse-image-search.org/ website so, for some reason, I halt it, good thing you brought this up.

By the way, how did you do to find the similarity of it in terms of the percentages found on the right side? What website do you use for it?


ICOHolder seems not a trusted site.

I saw that too on their whitepaper and think that this could be a fake team. Their names are weird because they look liked Americans but the names were Asian. Lol.
Good job man for bringing this up.

~snip~

I'd recommend you ditch reverse-image-search and start using http://imgops.com/.

When you search for images yandex will give you the best results in like 95% of time, then comes tineye, bing and google.

Application/website used is Amazon Rekognition (Face comparison).


Earnsbit has removed photoshopped team from their website and announcement thread, whitepaper link is inactive and fake LinkedIn profiles are gone too.

So scared (https://www.pinclipart.com/pindetail/ihTJm_scared-face-clipart-black-and-white-png-download/)!
From the similarity of the photo, it is indeed like a fake team, and they have great financial fraud suspects.
But to accuse them, you need more in-depth evidence, not just through the similarity of photos.

The fact that they're using fake photos means their dishonesty is already confirmed, if they lie about who they are, then they're certainly lying about other things.

I just checked their whitepaper again, since it was down for a while, the team makes a comeback with images being resized and slightly blurry, magenta filter on top.  Wang Low seem different though... ;D

I was also about to join their bounty campaign then I saw the red trusts. Good job with this, and I hope so too that there's a website that lists most legit bounties or companies.

thank.
Remind everyone that when you choose to invest (https://www.clipartkey.com/view/xmbTbw_real-estate-investment-real-estate-investments/), you must also identify the authenticity of the source of the information,
otherwise it will make you lose a lot.
