When you go to their site it redirect you to https://www.investor.gov/howeycoins. Its saying, Welcome to Investor.gov, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s site designed for individual investors. We’ve recently seen fraudsters pretending to be involved in blockchain technology, initial coin offerings, and crypto-currencies – when really they are simply operating scams designed to take investors’ hard-earned money. We created the bogus HoweyCoins.com site as an educational tool to alert investors to possible fraud involving digital assets like crypto-currencies and coin offerings. Fortunately, frauds like these often have a number of “red flags” that can help you tell if the so-called “investment opportunity” is really a scam. Our bogus site is a mash-up of a number of different things we've seen – any particular fraud may be harder to spot than the red flags here. Here are some of the signs of fraud that are on the HoweyCoins site – we hope reviewing these may help you recognize a real fraud in the future!

Wow, so many people can't even read. No wonder people still fall for scams. These people shouldn't even be on this forum. I mean how stupid can you possibly get?

The SEC is warning that " investing with credit cards" is a red flag.
Cant quite understand it. If someone wants to process those kind of payments, they need a company , thus it seems more legit that they take card.
Is this red flag for those " ico webpages" whos only purpose is to stole your card info ?

That's certainly a risk but the biggest issue with credit cards is that such "investments" would likely be made by people who can't afford it. There are fairly strict federal regulations in the US regarding debt-based investments (e.g. margin trading).

That's not all they don't have! But wait... there's less! I checked similar project a few days ago. This looks better. It'll definitely follow. Thanks, guys.
Really? Which one was that? You can't go wrong with HoweyCoins. You're welcome.

After 2 years of bearmarket this joke is fair not only for ICOs, but for pretty much all existing cryptocurrencies though

Lol, at first I was pretty disappointed at the mods for sponsoring this s**t. Then I realized that its a fake project to encourage potential investors to make some research before investing into any project.
Good work mods. This was surely needed (y)
Lol, in fact it smelled like a shittoken even starting from its name. Now the funny thing would be is someone would clone this fake project and launch it as a real one...

Is this an international project or just domestic? Any plans on public activity? Conferences?

wow haha this thread title really got me. I was like how on earth will an ico be approved by bitcointalk and the giant SEC itself. The topic was created last year but when I visited the site, I saw the ICO counter still working. It was when I clicked on the Twitter page link I saw that it's all an hoax.

It's an international project, please buy buy buy! You have to be really daft to actually believe in this one. I think Bitcointalk should use this thread to screen off those people who should be on this platform and not. Maybe let the daft ones remain as newbies until they can properly reason

Unfortunately, nothing has changed in a year and a half, the same type of topics of the same type of tokens are created with the same purpose of their missions. there’s still a presale, as well as a team of non-existent developers assembled from random pictures from Internet. Years go by, but nothing changes.
