You need to add your archive links as soon as possible because once they saw your thread, they will delete those photos.

How incredibly lucky to find 4 same-minded thinkers that actually have the same name, Stock Photo, wow! JK

But all jokes aside, good work. One scam less

Just in time, the pictures and the team page, all gone.
Of course, the dev forgot to remove the stock images.... after he cropped them

Website dev forgot to replace that template picture. We already contacted dev .

And they have deleted the team...
Now, anyone wants to bet that also the names are going to change, and from businessmen in suits, there will be 2 guys with a t-shirt and short in a dilapidated building?

That aside...

The guy with the vest - I've seen him in multiple projects, must be a famous fake developer LOL

Or it could be a different one, just that scammers for some inexplicable reason tend to pick this faux-sophisticated look. The laziness of picking a stock photo these days knowing that someone will surely right-click it and do a reverse search... astounding.

That particular line is copy-pasted from ReefCoin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/reefcoin/about/

I've spotted more stuff copied from CryptoSudo and Bulwark but that's not the point, this is not what most people think it is, it's not your typical masternode scam, dump coins and disappear.

It's the fake announcement guys again, don't ask me how i know. They don't usually set up new websites but they've done it before, at least a half a dozen times already. Both Corallium and Pharmacy Coin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238409.0) belong to them. I just hope you haven't spent much time on their website on unsecured connection or worst download any of the wallets.
