Title: [SCAM] LeedCoin-plagiarized content Post by: Rikafip on December 22, 2019, 09:44:00 PM What happened: LeedCoin plagiarized one project from earlier this year, Vulcoin. There is no mention of team of course, not even whitepaper of some sorts, so all this is just some quick attempt to get money.

They were so lazy that they even copied typo (qhark) and some graphics.

I am not sure if this content included on template that they bought. If this content included during buy the template then both of them could use it since they are paying for it and didn't steal by the way. So in my opinion, should not call plagiarism for that website content reason that you provide( if there is plagiarism on whitepaper then different case). Can you please check original template if content exist there?
Regarding team, I won't mind if there is no team. This is crypto world and anonymity is the main concept here. So this isn't an issue if they didn't used fake team. Because whoever will invest on it they are fully aware that they sending their fund to a anonymous team who could easily exit with funds. But usually investors are not encouraged to invest on such as projects.

If you check the only explanation of LeedCoin that i showed in the first post, it is a word for word copy of Vulcoin, they just inserted LeedCoin instead Vulcoin. On top of that they even copied their typo (I guess that Qhark instead Quark is typo, someone correct me if im wrong). How can project explanation be part of the website template? On top of that, that is the only explanation of their project. No whitepaper, no onepager, no nothing really. This looks to me like a bad and lazy attempt to make a few bucks and then disappear.

They are not even on the same platform. One is pure HTML/CSS while the other uses WordPress CMS. Vulcoin website: Cryptoking ICO HTML Template by Bestwebcreator - https://bestwebcreator.com/cryptoking-landing-page/ Leedcoin website: Crypterio WordPress Theme by StylemixThemes - https://crypterio.stylemixthemes.com/ Besides, since when does the content of the page have anything to do with the design template used? Of course, the template may contain graphic elements that can be used in the content, but this cannot in any way explain identical textual content. LeedCoin website is obvious plagiarism and very likely scam attempt.

But yeah, as i said before, even if they had same template (which we now know they don't) it still doesn't give them right to obviously copy material from original source.

They would probably copy the team section as well if Vulcoin didn't remove that part from their website. |
