So it was Saturday Morning and it was an Good time to search some bounties and get some Side Income on this Weekend and i found this campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5301131.0 (sVault.Finance). Before i Joining this campaign i was do some simple Research and found an strange thing on the thread and their website which i Suppose it was Indicate an Fake Project (?). You guys can see and judge some details below.

1. Possible Same Team/Bounty Manager with BlockSafe Technologies?
On the sVault.Finance Bounty thread on the Article Section, You guys can see an rules "The blog/article must be focused on the relevant topic. It must convey positively about Blocksafe technologies." which i think the bounty manager was same with BlockSafe Campaign that have an red Trust that endorsing & Managing an Project with Fake Team (See The Trust), beside that it's also have an same word + Structure with the BlockSafe Bounty Thread, Not sure if it just an Copy Paste or Same Person.

2. Fake Team
So far i'm trying to use Google Search Image and they are using Another Person Image/Profile for their CEO Position. Beside that some linkedin was also newly created but still not find an same image on the google search engine.

Fake CEO Name: Gun-woo 건우

Real Person name that used by sVault.Finance was Yuko Takeuchi's or Higashiyama RinTaro, not sure which one is his real name since i can't understand Japanese.

Other members are also fake. Just look at this one named Se Jun whose real name is Koji Miyaura.

Hello thanks for sharing this new scam. Its really sad to see some identity being used here for scam. By the looks of this is their trying to do a degen play project adding some legality of none anonymous style, however it's good that we have scam hunters can easily searched the credibility of the accounts or names they used. I pity those pictures being captured to be used on this. We should have a platform or compilations of those used social accounts cause chances they could have records for doing nothing and that's really frustrating.

If you make a flag will support this OP.

Good catch, definitely a scam project, thanks for writing up the scam accusation for it. I have tagged the OP of the bounty thread and have created a flag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2533) based on this thread... Hopefully this will help to stop other accounts from wasting their time advertising a scam.

I support what flags have been made nutildah.

In fact, we have to be aware of suspicious projects, he always takes advantage of opportunities with bounty promotions, while the participants with newbie accounts don't care about it so hopefully with this feedback we can all judge that with red trust it indicates fraud that has occurred.

Thank you for taking the time to the OP who is continuing to research this project so that we are here to know.
