It appears this is an old project listed on this forum. There is no scam accusation, just this comment below:

TRENDERCOIN have committed an exit scam!

the team is gone.

They are back now and they have a plagiarized whitepaper. We didnt check the whole paper, just the pages below:

Seems OP of ANN thread doesn't bother to lock thread although you gave warning on the main thread. I have sent PM to OP for locked thread and reply here as well. I really don't want to tag for single mistake if they are not from the team. Lets wait at least 24 hours before tag him/her. Most likely he/she would locked thread if he want.  

Good catch OP!

These guys have made a full copy paste from others. What a cheap scam idea man. I think they haven't bother to put a single word from their own. Another good work OP. Its really concerning that scammers are targeting crypto projects to make money easily.

Good catch, I remember this project all the way from 2017  
looks like they are back due to the market.

Let me share their old links:

My bad, I was distracted and ended up sending merit to the scam Ann instead of sending to you

He is not doing his due diligence. He is now promoting Bit-Paradise - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141925.0 (scam accusation here)

I think it's high time he got a red tag to wake him up from promoting scam since he seems less concerned. If he sees the warning and then continues to ignore them, then maybe we should get him a tag


I am going to update the Bit-Paradise scam accusation with the new Ann.

I have removed contents of the thread. What else should I do to avoid red tag?
I m not from the team and have no idea about all this. I apologize for mistake at my part.

Strange! You are managing their ANN thread but still you don't know how to locked thread? Please check your thread bottom there is button for lock thread, click on that button then your thread will be locked.

Still I can see your thread is live and all the content is there. Edit your thread and delete all of the content you have posted then write only "deleted" then lock it.
To avoid future mistakes you should do your own diligence and research before start work with any new projects. There is lot of guidelines about how to spot scams, so search them and learn.

Make sure to do your due diligence - before you open a thread, search the forum, check for scam accusations, check the team and whitepaper, etc...
You just opened Bitparadise thread today, there is an accusation against them since March 20th 2019. So, you are not doing your homework.

Thats really a poor question man. I don't know why did someone select someone as a manager for their projects where he/she don't know the exact use of lock thread option. Its obviously not a good sign of a well manager.

Personally i think your activity isn't so charming because already ICOEthics revealed the whitepaper plagiarism issue with one and another one also discovered. I have doubt that you are not working as a manager for any project but maybe you are trying to promote your own projects.

[bilal_jan321]

Its deleted and thread locked.
I will definatly do proper research before posting anything on bitcointalk.org

Awesome, That's exactly what you should do next time. You can always try to do a little research and also check in this board or even ask members for ideas about a project before you go ahead to support the project otherwise if you get red tagged for promoting scam. It will be very hard to persuade DT members to remove it

Good. Don't forget to do your own diligence and research especially about team and whitepaper. Because many forum users might follow your thread and they might invest on it. That was your first mistake and since you have deleted and locked thread I am not going to tag right now by considering second chance.  But if I found any accusation against you for this kind of case, likely I will not excuse anymore. I really don't want to destroy any account, but if your account become harmful for the community then it would be consider for tag. Although still you have chance get red tag from other DT. Because my opinions wouldn't match with all DT's opinion.

How to detect plagiarism?
I want to learn

Search google for programs to find plagiarism.

[bilal_jan321]

This project https://trendercoin.com is truly a scam.

Thanks ICOEthics for highlighting this issue.

I contacted the administration of https://trendercoin.com about this scam. Rather than admitting there mistake they blamed me for not covering the project well at bitcointalk.org

I strongly request all investors to stay away from https://trendercoin.com . They are a scam, don't invest.

Hey, what about that ponzi/hyip project that you are promoting? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5146798.0
You should at least say/post something on the scam accusation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5146907.0

But the damage has been done to my account in the form of negative trust.

Do you remember my friendly advice to you two weeks back?
Looks like you didn't even care about it.

We also gave him some advice, but it appears that he didn't care.

With Bitparadise, he deleted the post and left this message: "Project is under review. We will update soon" Why he didnt post something like "scam"or "scam accusation here (link)"...
He created Bitparadise thread on May 11-2019, but as I wrote above, the scam accusation exists since March 20th-2019.
This is an example to show that this person doesn't do his due diligence, and for this reason, we will not remove the negative trust.
He was caught promoting 3 scams already  -  Trendercoin,  BitRearer, and he was promoting Bit-paradise.
