Seems like the ANN thread is already gone as well.

We have it archived up to a certain date. It was expected to be deleted.

...He runs a thread designing and posting service....

He should be watching his own back, especially when he is doing for money.

....Certainly the consensus a while ago was that Bounty Managers were generally not held responsible for the project that hired them. In the first instance it seems fair to message Wipro, as I have done, to let him know he is managing a scam project.

Again, if he is making money on this project, he is not a victim. This was an easy to spot SCAM, as you can clearly see, very easy to find stock images. He was just lazy to search for them.

We should put bounty hunters in the spotlight as well and make them responsible for what they are promoting. This is a clear case of someone that was just lazy to search for images of the team.

There are many posts teaching people how to spot scams. It is their problem if they are the manager of a scam project. Negative trust deserved.

We would say that we would consider this an abuse of the system since he has over 500 merits and because of that, people will have more trust in this person.

ALSO THE ACCOUNT NOT HAVE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA LINKED TO THEM, HOW STUPID CAN A PERSON BE TO IMPORT SCREENSHOT FROM SITE DEMO CONTENT, LOL

We are not fixing anything or removing anything. You should be responsible for your acts. ALso, we never seen any template that imports such random pictures like the ones you had on the website. You started this ICO with a fake team and we received a complaint about your ICO from a possible investor. Now at 6% (7% atm) of your sales, you come up with an excuse. Ask a moderator to delete our post, because we will keep this one up.

Website: https://www.hoqu.io ( not work )

Their website is working.

Also what do you have to say about all the other ICOs that the team is on?

Please post on this forum any valid evidence.

The name is the same = Glenn Madis
We found his profile, he doesnt mention anything about this ICO there.. Maybe you can send him a message asking if he is working for this ICO.

It is rare to see these days well-made scams.

Good job finding another scammer. Maybe we see the well-made scams all the time, and it is just well-made and hard to point a finger and accuse of a scam!
Probably most of these sloppy scams that we see lately are made by kids, or made by people with little knowledge.

Hello,

Please note that team members submit their own profile pictures and are handled by administration.

Can you please ask Mr. Jacob Lewis, if he is not busy with a photo-shoot for Shutterstock, to take a few selfies holding the newspaper of the day and upload to this thread?

Great Job like always... 1 less scammer in the market. Wondering how much money they lose per scam they create and get caught.

I can not find any information about team members, these are team members:

Rule number 1: If the picture is suspicious, never trust the background. Delete the bg, logos, etc, and try the search again.
I can hear someone already screaming "it is not the same picture".

Nice job OP for getting another scammer on the list. Sometimes an ICO becomes suspicious due to a name they choose for a team member, but the name doesn't fit the person looks.

Well done, we needed something like this posted here. I think you are covering all the most important points on how to spot a scam.
More people read this post, more scams will be uncovered.
