Paytradex is totally fake project, all the information represented on their website was copied from https://www.waltonchain.org/en/

Paytradex website is 2 days old, its template, logo, colors are similar to waltonchain either.

Team pictures were photoshopped from walton chain team and can be easily recognized. Team description was plagiarized word for word.

Whoa, my God, this dude Lau Chan Or has a pretty high, almost bezel-less face-to-head ratio. ;D

Could've these guys done a sh*ttier photoshop job? Come on, they could have at least paid $10 a freelancer on Fiverr to do the photoshop work.. this is honestly funny. ;D ;D Nice research.

Thank you for your feedback!

It is great for us that scammers appeared to be lazy or unskilled, and I don't want you to give them advice how to do photoshop better. Lets keep them in the dark.  ;)

I'm trying to warn people in paytadex telegram chat but it seems they don't really care about a high possibility of being scammed.

Really nice catch! If you have friends, colleagues or anyone that you know of that are into crypto, just give this link to them because they might invest on this project without knowing that these fake profiles exist. Because a lot of crypto users really don't do their research. Most of the projects with fake profiles ended up scammers.

Gee, their team looks like circus freaks! Another good catch @witcher_sense.

Hopefully, you saved many souls. ;)
