Reason of Accusation: Fake team & whitepaper plagiarism.

They used cartoon for picture with fake LinkedIn profile those are only 5 connection . That means just newly create LinkedIn profile.

Plagiarized whitepaper: They direct copy whitpaper content from well known website quora.  

 

Copy paste from: https://www.quora.com/Is-going-to-the-gym-good

Only 7 page whitpaper with no details information. I believe there is more plagiarism content. Right now I am on mobile just found it now. Whatever copy paste it's consider plagiarism. They steal others content without permission.

Although I am not experience coding but look like to me there is something wrong. They just copy paste others coding and never change details except Name , symbol and supply. I know open source code can copy anuyone but nothing change means developer of smart contract not professional.
Let's check  smart contract code

Code:

Perhaps they copied from ForeignTokens but they never change it. I am not sure about coding case. Developers can confirm it.

Linkedin accounts are on sale here, they buy old accounts and make it look like a proper team..All the red flags here, who cares about all these..this forum is full of alts and spammers who just want to pile up airdrop tokens which are now all garbage..look at eth network now..it is sad really

[The Cryptovator]

Their airdrop thread has been trashed. And OP got temp ban. Thanks to moderator.

Trashed thread and temp banned the OP, thanks for the heads up.

Good job catching another scammer. They will never stop until the crypto market is regulated.

It appears they got tired of using stock photos and now cartoons characters are on the rise. (Kinda hard to face match them.  )

But I doubt a smart investor will put any penny on an ICO with a cartoon character. ICOs using cartoons are automatically classifying themselves as a scammer.

If you don't mind I will post that cartoon on our cartoon thread.

Thanks for the warning. I meet this token also in mercatox and still cheap. Good that I read your post. Theres so many scam ICO token nowadays really. They keep on sprouting and just keeping trying to be true to look at but in reality they are just scam.

[The Cryptovator]

Look like they already scammed. Website is offline right now.
