Hello DT members please check this . Someone has launched a libra ANN thread and I think its fake. Please check it before people invest in this scam. They dont have any information about the  team and the facebook hasnt made any announcement about libra website.

So I smell fishy in this . this is the link - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156433.0

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Yes this is more definitely a scam attempt, trying to trick people into thinking they are investing into the coin from Facebook.
They use a different URL than the official project, with a similar website.
Real Libra project URL is https://libra.org/ and not https://libraproject.io

Opening a flag.

Facebook's Libra coin is gaining a lot of popularity and because of this people is taking this opportunity to scam other people, I am supporting this flag because of this, so newbie will not fall for this scam project, this is the second time there is a scam using Facebook .

Yep.. But the website is gone as well. It still had "10 days left to buy Libra token ICO" yesterday so I guess if the scammers advertised elsewhere than on bitcointalk, some people can fall into that trap.
A simple whois on the domain name told me .. it's been anonymized, and there also was the Namecheap abuse email next to that.

Tried that, and they suspended the domain name.

This will be a mess for Facebooks since there are a few Libra token / libra coin / libra that exists way before Facebook announced the name of their coin.

This one was created 182 days ago: https://etherscan.io/token/0xd56cFEc7319d206B7f1269182212d5c381DD9168
This other one was created 478 days ago - https://etherscan.io/address/0x8e82515da8cd9f214a9d1f4d06a64f87007c2ef4 - and the creator created all the other zodiac signs, as well as fruits, animals, etc..

So, just because Facebook announced the name libra, doesnt mean they own everything about libra, it is a mess they will have to deal with.

This is called phishing attempt. Obviously the guy is trying to mislead the newbies. In fact I was thinking it's a normal ANN by may be someone who is representing Facebook but after seeing the above quote I can to the real world :-P

Anyway, supported the flag.
