Good job OP. Leave negetive feedback, also look like account change hand. I noticed scammer profile account change password recently although thread made by website team. Fucking people just bought cheap ico template and stolen picture from others.  They just want to raised fund and skip. You are doing a great job. Keep it up and help forum from scammer.

Just for completeness, I asked Mark Dragon, the CEO whose picture was stolen, if he knows anything about this, he has not answered yet but he removed his pic from his profile, lol. He is probably thinking, if these people are so stupid and crazy to steal my pic without even some Photoshop, they may be dangerous!

Good to see that someone also spotted this as a fake. The moment I visited the site on Aug 29, my first encounter. I sensed a little red flag already due to its design. So I immediately archived the site on the wayback machine. After checking the team it gave me a clear signal of scam. I even looked up the template of the site and found the exact copy of it.

I made an article out of it: https://steemit.com/scam/@iamdeadlyz/fake-airdrops-and-icos-everywhere
The scary part is that the users were giving out KYC documents which can lead to identity theft  Angry

The users ARE giving out KYC documents, they are begging for it in the Telegram group! Now, I cannot access their ANN here anymore, I am assumming the admin has taken it offline rather than the scammers have ways to block me. But the scam continues viral on social media, do you think we can go harder on them?

Now that's alarming, we need to step up the game. I already made the site red flagged by the metamask admin. I think getting the attention of the media would be the best option for this but it would be hard to gain that much. We should spread this news to facebook, twitter, and telegram channels if possible to get some attention.

I went ahead and created  https://t.me/pumpkinSCAM  . I am also reporting them to any authority I can get my hands on lol. The advantage of the Telegram group is that it may show up when they search for pumpkin, I think this is the most viral that I can do. Consider joining and viralizing the Telegram group!

Nice move  Smiley  I hopped into your channel. I am already posting on big crypto related groups on facebook to spread awareness. You might want to add an announcement there for links directing to the scam accusation and article.

Great stuff, maybe related to them changing domains too. I "pinged" their previous domain with the authorities, perhaps they are betting this .co domain in Colombia is untouchable.

Meanwhile, the scammers are always busy, and I am on their ass again!

When I opened the site it told me that if I complete KYC, it would be able to give me free tokens.

This is essentially the first warning sign that greets you once you access their project. No legitimate project will give you that many tokens for free. Most likely, they are trying to get and use people's KYC details and personal information for malicious purposes for their own benefits, given that their project has been confirmed to be a scam.

Hopefully no one invested too much, or participated in the 'airdrop'. Seems like the ANN thread is already gone as well. Nice job on finding the fake profiles as always, OP, you're really doing the community a favor here.

We have it archived up to a certain date. It was expected to be deleted.
