Left negative feedback on their account too. Hopefully people will notice it enough to not fall for their scam attempt.

Our Whitepaper is not a scam

We hired someone on a reputable website to write our whitepaper

We are not liable to review all the millions of white papers out there to ensure that the author hasnt been hired by other ICO's

ICO's are decentralized.

Please remove this slanderous claim.

First of all, a reputable whitepaper writer knows how to write a whitepaper without using a template on the internet -  To go further, your company's writer did not even customize the whitepaper. - Which is blatant plagiarism.

You don't need to review millions of whitepapers out there, just your own, to make sure there is no plagiarism.
You are responsible for your documents and papers, and here you are blaming someone else. Which is a very common response we receive from scammers on this forum.

If you have a company, why not use your employe to write the Whitepaper, that's your problem because not check first after the document was sent by the writer. Using a service on the internet for a serious project like ICO not really recommended I think.

There's a new ANN about Groovy Hooman Token (GHT) announced by vondagon

Thanks for notifying us about their recent activities. I have already checked their new ANN and they are using a music bands instagram profile link on their as their official Instagram. Actually this time they are spreading the listing news and trying to drive traders on that specific exchange (Vindax). I got their telegram channel where they are forcing users to buy their token from Vindax.

See here;

Here is their telegram and you can make a short visit to see their fraudulent activities there 
 

Now this project doesn't have website and whitepaper, only have active social media (e.g. telegram and twitter). Also already listed on scam exchange (vindax)

They are quite active on social media and offering free rewards to attract traders but they are not using their website. If i am not wrong then this time they skip the ideas of promoting through website due to this open accusation and all they are trying to hide their activities from bitcointalk community.
