Feel free to report. If you missed something in your report , there are many others to correct you and guide you.

This is my first Scam Accusation Ann. I will update it as and when I will find more proofs.

Seems like your first accusation is valid and I have tagged the OP of the ANN. It's your first but don't make it the last one.

Thanks a ton for the Motivation. This will surely not be my last. I will do my best for the space.

Good job OP with this finding.

Andrew Collin Linkedin profile link will take you to Andy Collin profile. Same last name, but not the same person.









Their whitepaper is also plagiarized. They copied Kurecoin whitepaper and probably other sources. 
Whitepaper - archive

 Here are some examples:

It's very unfortunate to see that existing platforms intentionally give chance to these scammers.
This token is trading on Coinlim exchange, I informed them about this in their group.
Instead of looking into this, they deleted my post and banned me from group, while the scam team is posting gifs in their group creating fomo and asking people to buy this.
Ridiculous!

It’s a sad thing to see this from a project that I loved and thought it will make impact in this world and help humanity enjoy living with its ideas and concept. Now the truth has been revealed. I thank you for doing this great job. Let’s get  rid of fake and scam pojects.

I informed Robert through email about his identity theft and also shared on twitter. It seems Andy came to know about this and has filed a police complaint. FBI has taken over the website.
Official message from FBI can be seen here.

Hope more people know about it and this sets an example, so that people think 1000  times before scamming someone of his hard earned money.

I will ensure that Coinlim exchange is also bought to books. I informed them about this scam and they banned me. They are for sure linked with it.

Or, maybe they took a fee to list it. After it turned out to be a scam, they are most likely avoiding questions by trying to kick or ban those who are reporting those projects.


Btw how is coinlim linked with this project? I don't find this being traded on their platform.

The volume is low now but it is there. Check this

I understand your point, but when I shared the information to them , at the same time SPEC team was shouting in the coinlim group . "BUY", "To The Moon" etc all those FOMO terms. Coinlim was actively supporting these people in their group and allowing them to spam about their project.

Good catch OP, glad see that newbies are encouraging to hunt scammer in order to help bitcointalk community. And it was my intention to motivate more newcomers to find out scammers and save our forum users. scammers finding new way to scam peoples and we have to be more aware to find scammers. Don't let them scam us easily. Keep it up OP, tagged scammer by the way.

[TalkStar]

Another bunch of scammers face revealed. Its really concerning to see those guys who specially targeted crypto currency related investing section to raise their fund by using fake team and running scam projects. Its gonna be much more easier to catch these kinda fraudulent activists if we raise our hand together against them. Nice job OP. Every single seconds these scammers a making trap for worldwide crypto investors and I hope bitcointalk scam accusation section could be a proper store house for them.
