Sharing here an answer that BambooDefi CEO shared on ANN thread Regarding the copy of significant part of WP from Crypto.com as ,CEO of Nexxyo Labs (BambooDeFi) is totally my fault. We share a lot of features and although it is modified with the things that differentiate us, I didn't think about the possible consequences of using some parts of crypto.com as a base, because many things are shared among many DeFi projects.
So because they share a lot of features, they decided that is OK to share whitepaper too. Another excuse that we heard so many times before. I want to share one more proof of their laziness; they even copied countries restriction from Crypto.com. What are the chances of that happening, that two projects have exactly the same list of countries restricted? You can check, exactly the same 33 countries on both whitepapers.  Since I believe that Bamboodefi team is dishonest and grossly incompetent, I think that everyone who invests will probably loose the money, therefore raising the flag. Please support.

Considering everything, I don't see how they could continue with signature campaign or to put it better, why would anyone that cares about his own reputation wear their signature and promote them? |

I mark to hold the Signature campaign. Let's see their explanation. There would be some reason since their website is still under construction.
Honestly I don't see how website under construction can have anything to do with the fact that they copied big parts of their whitepaper from someone else. They didn't just took few sentences here and there, as you can see from the evidence they copied big chunks of texts and even some charts. When you think about it, what can be solid explanation for something like this, as that can't be done by simple mistake. This was intentional, they were obviously incapable (or just lazy but that doesn't sound any better) of making it by themselves so decided to take from others. Even text formatting is similar, and that says a lot. Let's run few scenarios and standard explanations that we can expect: 1." We hired someone to make whitepaper, they tricked us". If team is not capable of making their own whitepaper and had to outsource it, how can they make the project successful? 2. "Team member that made whitepaper was removed from the team". Whitepaper is usually made by core team member. If they managed to get someone like that on the core team, how many of them with similar dishonest intentions could still be there? On top of that, how no one noticed? 3."This is just a placeholder for the real whitepaper". Bullshit, why would they put anything there if they still don't have their own whitepaper? This is similar to that explanation when we catch someone with fake team members, they tend to use that. Bare in mind there are more parts that they copied, what I shared is not all of it. In the end, how they can expect that people will stake their funds when they are dishonest about something like that? Regarding the team, I wouldn't mind if the team is anonymous in cryptocurrency. But the fake team always an immediate red flag for me. But there is a team behind Bamboo DeFi, you will find it on Nexxyo Labs. Because this project is operated by Nexxyo Labs. I see 10+ people on their group photo. Not even one of them read any whitepaper before, not even Bitcoin? If they did, they would notice how proper referencing looks like. Then again, if they know how proper referencing looks like they wouldn't copy big parts of text word by word, as copy verbatim is considered plagiarism as well. Kinda ironic, they issued warning about scammers impersonating them https://bamboodefi.medium.com/beware-of-the-scammers-fc0e817b3770
I don't think they have so much in their hand to use as a proper explanation and its looks quite unprofessional works to me. Although i don't think their explanation gonna make big difference or people will change their mind about them.
Yeah I think so too. They won't use anything we haven't heard before in similar situations by numerous scammers. Especially when we know how many DeFi scams we saw lately doing exactly that. |

I don’t think more explanation needed to detect their plagiarism and i am clearly seeing their line to line copy/paste here. I just checked their official ANN and its based on your information i got the activity of spammers there. Every single thing that you discovered about them is enough to put finger on their projects real intention. Yeah I also think that everything is obvious here, but I will wait just a little bit before creating the flag. Interesting to see that they are running signature campaign and Coolcryptovator is managing that. I am really surprised how did he start their campaign without proper research.Huh... These things just happen, even to those that are experienced in scam busting. I don't know whether he checked their whitepaper, but it happened to me few times to miss plagiarism even though I checked and couldn't find anything, and then few days later I saw some other member busting them for exactly the same thing. "Rikafip" i will personally suggest you to send a PM to campaign manager and deliver this thread link. Although we know what explanation will be given from their authority but lets see whats new is waiting for all this time.
Manager is well aware of the issue, he already locked the signature campaign thread until all this is cleared out. |

sad su zakljucali thread, dok se ne resi pitanje kopiranog whitepaper-a Da poslao sam odmah PM manageru cim sam skuzio da je WP kopiran. super sto si primetio, ja se na brzinu prijavio, videcemo sta ce biti na kraju od svega, ali deluje lose, solidna isplata u kampanji, kopirani whitepaper - vuce na brzinsku prevaru
Iskreno bili su mi sumnjivi od pocetka jer em sto su anonimni defi, jos su shillali thread od pocetka sa newbie accountima. Kad zbrojis to dvoje, odmah je sumnjivo, a kad dodas jos i sad tu pokrenutu signature kampanju, to je mi je bas bilo cudno. Koliko defija smo vidjeli do sada sa sig kampanjom koja placa u BTC i jos pogotovo tako dobro? Ja neznam za takav slucaj, zato sam i isao dodatno kopati. Zao mi je managera i svih koji su se nadali solidnim isplatama, ali jebiga neki ljudi bi vjerojatno i ulozili u to da vide sig okolo po forumu. Cekam odgovor od bamboodefi accounta prije nego podignem flag, iako sumnjam da mogu dati smisleno objasnjenje. edit:
Kakvo smisleno objašnjenje? Kao nismo iskopirali majke mi, sve smo to tako napisali i nismo imali pojma da je netko to već napravio?
Ma naravno, to ja vise iz kurtoazije pitam, obavijestim ih na ANN threadu da imaju otvoren scam accusation. Nema glupe izlike koju nisam do sada cuo, najcesce debilni razlog je "mi smo platili firmu da nam napise wp, oni su krivi". Sto naravno ne zvuci nista bolje za njih, jer ako ne mogu napisat svoj whitepaper, sta onda mogu? Taj odgovor nekako ocekujem i od Bamboodefi. Trebali bi baciti neku kladionicu haha Po meni je bolje odmah podići flag i onda ga maknuti ako se pokaže da je krivo podignut. Pogotovo to mislim na korisnike kao ti Rikafip koji se "baviš" otkrivanjem scamova i vjerojatno već iz iskustva možeš "namirišati" scam kad ga vidiš. Jer dok se projekt potvrdi kao scam puno ljudi će se "upecati". Zato mislim da je bolje odmah podići flag. Kasnije ga lako makneš.
Ma dignut cu flag, za sada sam ih tagao, to je dosta da svi vide. Flag se nemoze maknuti, moze se doduse unsupportati. |

Ja bi na vasem mjestu malo sacekao sa prijavama na tu kampanju. Osim sto vec neko vrijeme shillaju ANN thread, bas sam otkrio i da su kopirali whitepaper od crypto.com. Evo topica na scam accusation boardu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5292452.0 |

I don't agree with how @SPQRCoin is using the negative feedback. Neutrals should have been more than enough. I don't know why he chose to leave neutrals in some profiles and negatives in others. AFAIK, those neutral feedbacks were once negative, and then he changed them after they deleted bounty reports and asked for feedback removal. Maybe@sujit1992 should try to do the same thing, so maybe he gets it changed to neutral. If he was so bothered by the users who continue to post bounty reports in the threads even after the bounty has ended, then the best thing to do was to lock the threads as soon as the bounties ended. SPQRCoin is not the bounty manager, so he can't do that. SWAPHUB bounty manager went afk basically from the moment he started that bounty and never came back, and bounty hunters as usual don't read until when bounty lasts. I am pretty sure some will keep posting reports for months if BM doesn't come back and lock the thread. Just yesterday two more left their reports. As I said in previous similar case, I think that giving hunters negative tag over this is an overkill. When forum users automatically stamp bounty reports and do not follow the events in the topic, this is also wrong.
And for that we have perfectly adequate "Report to moderator" option. |

Team member advertising scams, what could possible go wrong  Hah yeah. It's standard M.O really that we've seen before, those involved in scams as participants sooner or later wanting to create one of their own, especially those that are more successful at sucking people in. I've sent PM to creator of that topic, but actually I will send him negative feedback as this is referral link:
Good catch! I've missed that completely and I looked for referral after that Telegram message that @dkbit98 found. He decided to take up on their offer and make a little bit extra. As an old member he should have known better. Adding flag, please support Flag Type 1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2484 |

Anonyme thread was deleted because they were giving away tokens in exchange for ANN comments, therefore breaking the forum rules. Good riddance imho, as it was spammed by bunch of newbie accounts wanting to get few dollars worth of that shitcoin. As @bullrun2020bro told you, if you think that Anonyme is most likely a scam, open a topic in Scam accusation and if it's your first topic there, follow the format that you can find in the pinned message.

This clown team are now using blockchain as new environment for there MLM scam businesse. The CEO is looks familiar to me, I have previous experience on joining MLM before using PayPal and I believe I saw him already.
They do like to use blockchain mainly because of two things; first they think that by including blockchain and tokens that will serve as some kind of proof that they are legit and not a scam, I often heard that being used an argument, stuff like "we are on Ethereum blockchain therefore we can't be ponzi". 2nd reason is to use the hype surrounding everything that has to do with crypto. About possibility that CEO was part of some other scam, I wouldn't be surprised considering the stuff he supported in the past.
It is interesting to see that their official telegram group @evbylim_com have some plans with Bitcointalk forum and referral links.
Good find. Since that announcement was from November 18th and ANN has been made today, I guess that @coinstatic is the person they found for that task. I don't see referral links though. At least not yet. I don't know what makes ex martial artist and planet saver to venture into creating something like this, but I doubt he will create ultimate financial freedom he seeks like this. That is a good question. Things that worry me here is his inclination to scams. Beside Crowd1 in which he was very active, he was part of few other scams like Cloud Token, which he heavily promoted on his FB page.
I've finish reading whitepaper and they are not really hiding that this is MLM. I have to confess that I don't understand half things they wrote there, but, paying subscription to watch videos/whatever while everyone can find any kind of educational video on internet for free, and they have 18 affiliate levels for that? Right... It certainly looks like pyramid crap to me.
Their whitepaper is bloated indeed, 48 pages of bs. That's the thing with these schemes, they like to complicate it as much as possible so as a member you are not really sure what's going on. All you know is that you have to bring as many people as possible and build your network of affiliates that will make money for you. Regarding these educational videos, their inspiration is Crowd1 scam, in which they have extensive experience. Crowd1 has educuational packages which you buy and then try to sell to others. EVBLYM just added self-help bs in order to make it more attractive to people.  When I see this kind of stuff from their "Chief Executive Officer" I don't see how can EVBLYM end in any other way other than people getting sucked into this loosing the money, as it happened with Crowd1.  |

While browsing through Altcoin section, one ANN thread caught my attention due catchy name, [ANN][EBL] EVBYLiM - Revolutionizing Self-Transformation and Wealth Creation! . Since I am allergic to self-help mumbojumbo, I've decided to check it a bit. Sentences like " EVBYLiM gives everyone a chance to generate passive income through self-development by merging self growth with a powerful affiliate program and blockchain." and "With its unique concept, every person, no matter his or her current financial situation is able to get access to professional self-development material that can elevate his/her quality of life to new heights" just made me think that I am onto something here. Flag Type 1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2484Flag Type 1 (another EVBYLiM account) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2487ANN https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5292115.0Archive https://archive.is/lj29X#selection-1831.0-1831.148Website https://evbylim.ioArchive https://web.archive.org/web/20201122093727/https://evbylim.io/Whitepaper https://web.archive.org/web/20201122093316/https://evbylim.io/white-paper
First thing thing that I check is the team, and the people behind it (2 out of 3 that I could find some background info) have an interesting history, to say the least.  First one I checked is their founder and CEO, Armin Pajula. Based on his Facebook posts, Mr Pajula is self-help guru and member of Crowd1 (I will explain that later). https://www.facebook.com/2freedom.eu/photos  EVBYLiM Chief Executive Officer Martin Karus also has experience in Crowd1, and shilling scammy ponzi shitcoins like ETHplus. At the time of shilling few months ago ETHPlus was at 26 USD, and now its at 0.04 USD. https://www.facebook.com/TopLeaderMartinKarus/  As part of EVBLYM, your goal is to sell as many subscription packages as you can, and spreading your network by bringing new people in. Sounds like a classic MLM scheme to me, hiding behind selling "educational packages" and self-help buzzwords about transforming your life, acquiring wealth etc.   Regarding Crowd1, its just another pyramid. This scheme is already banned in several countries, and those spreading it were even arrested in some cases. Few articles about Crowd1 Namibia just banned the Crowd1 get-rich-quick scheme as a pyramid. SA is its biggest market.SCAM ALERT! Watch out for Crowd117 linked to Burundi 'get-rich-quick' schemes arrested
I would like to hear thoughts and opinions on this before I proceed with tagging and flagging, in case I'm missing/misunderstanding something here. Is this enough proof to expect the same thing from EVBLYM as it was with Crowd1? |

I wonder where he gets the audacity to complain yet he very well knew what he did. It could have easily been a permanent ban IMO.
It's funny how many times we saw the similar scenario. Shitposter/bounty abuser comes complaining about "unfairly deleted posts" or negative tag and then someone digs few of their alts, a little bit of plagiarism and occasional ban evading. Every time they open their mouth they dig their hole a little bit deeper. They are truly their own worst enemies. Or to put it in trading terms, they should learn to cut their losses. |

This was the original post in topic where you wrote that deleted post from the screenshot: Someone have to do this from time to time, I believe that many newbies are still victims to scam projects till this days, we gotta keep warning them, not all can be safe but as for those who want to learn, here you go
1. Learn to control your greed
2. Money making should come last, learning is the first thing to do
3. Do research on exchanges as there are many bad eggs among the good exchanges
4. Follow the crypto investment rule, don't invest more than you can afford to lose
5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, diversity is the way of winners in crypto space
All the best.
And this is your answer on the 6th page of that topic. What you did basically is just paraphrasing/reiterating what's being said already, without adding almost anything new really. This is an epitome of a shitpost and it was deleted for a good reason. 1. Learn first
2. Limit your risks by investing only the money you can afford to lose
3. Stay away from low rated exchanges because they have fake volumes
4. Keep your recovery seed and private keys very safe and don't store in cloud storages
5. Just like OP said diversification works best in crypto space https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5556/55566748.html |

Jedino što moraš skupiti par Merita jer sve kampanje traže neki minimalni broj primljenih Merita u zadnjih XX dana.
Ma ni to vise nije neki faktor, sad je daj sta das. Vidio sam da se masovno primaju shitposteri koji se probude nakon duze stanke, i naravno bez merita skupljenih u zadnjih 120 dana. Beggars can't be choosers.

I do not think you can delete a post on bitcointalk
Of course you can. I am unpleasantly surprised that you somehow managed to miss "delete" option in the top right corner of your posts, especially considering the fact that you are member since 2017. Some boards won't let you delete post for 24 hours, so maybe that's what confused you.  |

i don't think Google can do anything about this type of scam applications on their platform because the apps aren't manually audited and there is nothing obvious about the scam that could be automatically detected so their system can't catch them.
According to this, Google is manually reviewing apps since 2015. Not all of them, but at least some. Developers no longer have free rein to immediately publish apps onto Google Play without any oversight. Google has announced that apps distributed through its store are now manually tested and reviewed to uncover app violations and malware. And much like Apple, sometimes it's real people handling that job. "This new process involves a team of experts who are responsible for identifying violations of our developer policies earlier in the app lifecycle," Google wrote in a blog post.
The new system has actually been in place for a couple months, and according to TechCrunch, Google hasn't received any complaints from developers about delays. It seems no one's even noticed the change. That's got a lot to do with Google's approach; not everything here is being done by hand. The company is combining the use of automated tools — which scan apps for viruses and other obvious Google Play no-nos — with human reviewers who jump in when the system flags something unusual. "Whatever the machines can catch today, the machines do. And whatever we need humans to weigh in on, humans do," Purnima Kochikar, Play's director of business development, told TechCrunch. SourceSo, if Google is manually reviewing some apps before they are available on PlayStore, they should at least prioritize those developers that are submitting the app for the first time. First time submitting an app? Manual review. As simple as that, especially something as specific as crypto wallet. Many scammers would have been caught in that case since those would be the ones attempting something like that. But let's say that Google can't stop all of them, which is probably true, then why at least they can't react faster when removing an obvious fake app? In this case last month it took Google more than one month to remove fake Atomic wallet, despite bunch of reviews saying that app is scam, people reporting loosing their money etc. In that case fake wallet had exactly the same logo and very similar name, so I am not surprised that some fell for that scam. like many other things it is up to the user to spend 5 seconds and do some research to figure out whether the app is malicious or not.
That's true, in the end its our own responsibility to take care of our security, but it still sucks to see cases like this, which could have been avoided. |

Damn that must have hurt, to loose so much money that way. Then again, things like that are bound to happen considering how easy is to get an app on Google playstore and how long it takes them to remove the fake app.
Last month one user reported fake Atomic wallet on playstore, and if I remember correctly it took Google three weeks to finally remove that fake app. God knows how many people fell for that.
Reported it too, hopefully it gets removed fast and before someone else gets scammed the same way but based on previous experience I'm not so optimistic.
