Red Flags

I will be honest at first I thought this was a scam project. However that turned out to be false.
Keep in mind:
It took me less then 5 minutes to figure out this is ran by amateurs upon first visiting the website. It is not a scam but I wouldn't hire this guy for anything. Amateurs really.

To keep this report simple here's a list:

When you google "CyroDigital" you don't even find their site but instead find the theme they bought for 12 usd on themeforest and use as their look. Only investing in a few graphic channges.
If that isn't enough , instead of being original and having their own name, they copied the theme name (Cyro Digital) to use as their business name.
No SSL on the site (not that big of a thing because there is no real data exchange going on , however its a bad practive and shows your not serious or know what your doing if you got no SSL on your site.
Typo's, without going over all their text; we all make typo's but come on! Look at this blunder:
Fake team member While hard to verify, it didn't take much more then a linkedin search with the term "CyroDigital" to find out 4 indian students are behind this and most likely nobody else.
Josh Roomsburg and Ioana Dobrescu both have a linkedin page but show no reference to working for the project cyrodigital.
Mabel Warner looks like a ghost that doesn't exist and was just thrown in there to have a full team page for the time it switches rows.

Edit: Just got confirmation that Josh Roomsburg doesn't work for this shady project:
Their telegram accounts are ran by males and pose as females with fake names.

Their domain/website is 16 days old only! see: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/cyrodigital.com
While its owner claims to have been running this for 1 year and 4 month.
Their company is not registered in India. It is a ghost company.
For a supposed business being around that long there is NO alexa traffic info of their site. (screenshot)

Their clients:

1. Telegram Group : @Lamonedacommunity [were never a real client]
2. Telegram Group: @officialTNcoinchat
3. Telegram Group: ~~@MARAChain_Support~~ have cancelled their service with cyrodigital
Here are some information about our previous clients. You can talk to them abd take a review about our Services.

What they asked me to do, I did. I contacted @Lamonedacommunity asking what their relation is to this shady business and they said there is no real past relationship. Only one logo was made which they were not happy with. Then the CEO contacted me and I provide him with some more context and in response:

Quote from: CEO

I am going to write him personally right away. I don’t like when my name or my company’s information is been used wrongly.
I Never contacted with him personally someone in my team did and he only did a logo for us during the APollo partnership. I did not like his services and but I had to make the payment just to keep a good name. I could say no and not make any payment because I never discussed with this person about anything. Now he is acting like we did some business together. My advice to you Matt, is to do your own due diligence and decide if you want to work with him or not but I am not going to recommend him to you. Thanks Matt.

The other groups I got banned from before I could contact their staff. This was done through one of Sadiq Raza's fake acc's or operated by one of his fellow students. Because I'm a scammer 'his words':

Does that look like a professional business man to you?

Is your ICO Hungry? We’ve Food for it! Go Grab it.

Blackmailed

One of them contacted me yesterday (18th of August) and threaten to invest 1k usd on false news to ruin my reputation and that of a company I work for if I do not drop this report. I've screenshots of the whole convo which they later on deleted.

Conclusion:

Not everyone should run a business. This people are not reliable and effective. They look to be a disappointment for the amount of money they charge and resort to alot of shady marketing methods. My advice stay clear of these people and warn their past clients not to use them anymore. They ruin this market they operate in for other more serious players.
