I already pointed this out in their telegram channel so many times.
1. Entire team only has telegram profiles
2. CEO has no credentials
3. Not a single roadmap goal met (all overdue)
4. No announcements about missed deadlines and no proposed plan for improvement
5. Immature domain age, which means the project did not go through extensive planning and research (if they're already listing their token)
6. Free cloudflare ssl (commonly seen on cheap scams lol)
Anyway. What now? Could we track down and take action on the scammer? I think so
I have saved their website onto waybackmachine a couple days ago

Airdrop form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScL_LdYS2hSXm_X2Y_2jsDzxBNm146VUp1UCn3TNay1Mz1SWg/viewformThis is a google form, so Google has user data such as IP, browser fingerprint, device, network. This can be used to track down the scammer
Twitter Link:
https://twitter.com/monerogoldtokenThe scammer's twitter account has a location on it. This might be fake, or real, we won't know... but the IP address obtained can help confirm
https://i.imgur.com/Ssxunwj.pngHopefully CoinExchange.io is able to confirm the google account that was used to access their support portal for submitting tokens. As well as the IP address and browser fingerprint too.
Other sources like domain register and web host can help identify the scammer and shut them down.
After that, everyone should block transfers from the scammer's eth address, this way scammer will have no profit.
That being said, the damage is already done, so say goodbye to your money lost.
You HAVE to research the project before you invest in it.
