So, again, I was approached by a TG user who calls himself Jack Fering (@JackFering)
He asks me for some details about the bounty management, best practices, prices, tasks, etc.
Nothin out of the ordinary. Project he wants to hire me for is bankroi.io
So i take a look. At first glance, nothing special, until i saw what they promise:

Basically, for those that can't see the image, they're offering high ROI in short amount of time.
The more you invest, the bigger the reward, and faster.
Shady as phuck! Gammy always told me: "Sonny, if it's too good to be true, it's a SCAM".
Now, I'm only saying it does seem to be one.
So i ask Jack Fering for some details:

As you can guess, there's no mention of anything about it on google. Website contains one vague refference with a link to a "beta" company registry in the UK.
Few days ago, there was a "online" help chatbox, and whenever i tried to talk to "support" i would get an automated message saying that everyone is busy, altho i was the only one in the queue (also stated by the same chat box)
They've removed the box since.
But the next
red flag, they are giving 20% of total tokens to the bounty. Why is that a red flag? Well, seems to me someone is trying to attract A LOT of people to the website. And by giving away few million ETH (or claiming so) that would do the trick.
So i dug deeper:

Classic story, team of samaritan traders want to make the world richer.
As for the company info, check it yourself:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11349827(P.S: Opening a legal company with a fake address and fake CEO in UK takes 10 mins)

Any question regarding any proof of this private sale was cut short by claiming NDA. Fair enough.
But notice that he's very eager to start. I don't usually respond well to pressure

So yeah, TL;DR, this sounds very fishy to me. Like they want to get as many people to see the website and invest, hoping for some quick returns.
What's your thought on this?
