Hi,

What is the affiliation or link between Tele2 Teleport ICO and Hodbo ICO?
It appears Hodbo is a scam (or both are, I just dont know).

http://hodbo.com/ (note they didnt go for HTTPS, just open http which seems like a terrible idea for a legit business)
https://tele2-teleport.io/?lang=en (HTTPS, multiple languages, same site but with more content)


Almost same website (Tele2 has more documents) but Hodbo take ICO contributions via Ethereum (address on page), reward via ERC20.
Tele2 must register email for invite and ICO contribuition is Bitcoin or Bank transfer only- reward via WAVES.


Hodbo's "whitepaper" mentions Tele2 several times however Tele2's doesnt mention Hodbo at all.


Tele2 domain registered first.
Hodbo domain a month later, registered in Panama!?

https://www.whois.com/whois/tele2-teleport.io



I think Hodbo is a scam clone, can anyone from either side clarify??

That's definitely sketchy,  but what's the significance of bitcointalk views?  It's not like that means more money for them, or even keeps the thread bumped--though they were busted using bots or shills.  Anyway,  it was a good catch on your part.   I never look at how many times pages are looked at here.

I didnt catch the views, but its definitely a scam, virtually everyone the on the main thread is a bot hyping it!
My warning is getting buried!
bigkush, lmfsthefounder, sparksi and most of the rest are posting every 1 second (same rotation of generic text), how is there no automated defense on Bitcointalk against this!?
