So, TLDR;
Today I was approached by this "promise it's not fake" telegram account @MichelleJamess
Standard stock image picture of a white female at a laptop, nothing suspicious, right?
Flag 1:- image is grainy, and looks like a stock photo
Does she look familiar?
Flag 2:- conversation starts with "Hi Sir"
** now I know that this might just be manners on someone's part, as they're polite, but in crypto world, usually the use of "sir" is associated with certain groups of people
Flag 3:- negotitation and their offer: "we're ready to pay only in our tokens, after the ICO ends"
** normally, this isn't any concrete reason to flag the project as SCAM, but in combination with others, it's a dead giveaway
Flag 4:Their website
http://cashtelex.com/ has all the buzz words that people want to see
- small soft cap
- backed by gold, silver, land, condoms, etc...
- kyc
- small price
- reasonably ok bonus
Which would be normal for a good ICO,
except:
- their roadmap is silly and unreallistic
- they don't have any team
- half of the stuff on website doesn't work properly
- data on their website is inconsistent
So yeah, i'll leave it at that. Be warned, and DYOR before doing any investing
