My post was deleted on his thread though -  Tongue
Really expected from a self-Moderated ANN that already has 3 posts from 3 users already deleted.
The scammer is trying very hard to bump the thread by updating it but it's getting no attention from the community probably because of his red tag.

Another interesting find is the Name of the fake CEO they claimed was real has suddenly turned from Jerry Wang to JD Venkatesh. He's nolonger Chinese or Korean Grin

1. STOCK PHOTO


CEO: Jerry Wang
Linkedin: No link

Source of stock image: https://quanjing.com/imgbuy/QJ6300261916.html


2. Some Team members like Anders Johnsson "Official Advisor" and Arturas Svirskis "CMO" do not mention BitParadise anywhere in their LinkedIn profiles or portifolios.
They were probably added without their knowledge

How do you locate images like that? Some kind of facial recognition through image archives? I always want to do it with projects that I think are shady but haven't found a good way of searching. Also, the image compare ICO posted earlier is cool too.

There are very many tools on the web that can help with image recognition and image search. Some ore premium whereas others are free
We have google images, yandex images, Amazon Rekognition, tineye, bing images etc.

I suspect bitparadise. Much like ui in www.micro.com.br. Bitparadise seems to have stolen micro ui. micro is a very popular place that opened in January.  Micro is also an exchange with gambling.


Sounds like that you came here to talk about (promoting???) Micro.com.br -(Possibly another scam???) -  Cryptocurrency is not supported or regulated by the Brazilian Government, and gambling is illegal.  
We are aware of many scams made in Brazil and there are people there teaching how to create scams. There one person that was an adviser in a few scams,  after caught, he deleted all his social media and disappeared (maybe he is still working but with another name).

 
Bit-parasite still listed in many places, on the typical scam promoters platform, such as ICOHolder, Bench, and a few others.






Unbelievable, all members failed KYC and ICOBench still listed them with 3.4 ratings.

It's a lie, they are not the most authentic because they can't even do a simple due diligence by checking the scam accusations board to see if the project was listed as scam.
My guess is bit-paradise took their  project to get listed on AirdropAlert knowing that they already lost trust here.

And probably bribed them some money that's why they are deleting your comments. My advice is to keep off such ICO and Airdrop listing websites

We are not defending AirdropAlert, but they have been one of the cleanest websites (free of ico's scams) that we know in the market.
They have a webpage of unverified airdrop https://airdropalert.com/unverified-airdrops (suspicious, scam, etc..)  It appears that they do their due diligence, as you can see on that list some of them are marked as scam and there is a reference to this forum.

We sent them an email today reporting that there is a scam listed, probably they will take it down. Usually, they are very good at taking action, not like other sites that we report and they ignore.

Maybe they changed administration, or maybe they didnt call it a scam because the OP has not accused it of a scam yet: "Bit-Paradise - FAKE TEAM"
OP should consider updating this thread subject line and add the word "scam" in there, and on the main post as well.

1- evidence

- Fake Ceo - 1st image = stock photo (fake)
- CEO - replaced with 2nd photo that doesnt match the first one.
- A video was requested, and the person on the video presented is not the same as the 1st or 2nd image.
- A new image of the CEO was requested
- They presented a badly photoshopped image that doesnt match any previous photos/video posted by them.
- Unable to fabricate a new image they replaced the CEO completely.  

2- evidence
- Plagiarized whitepaper

Also they didnt provide evidence that they have a license to operate a casino.

You can find all evidence listed above on this thread - archived here

We received a response from AirdropAlert, and they have removed Bitparadise from their verified list.
