Additional Notes:

Point # 1 : Fake CEO

Fake Name: Demetrius Vallas, a Greek national who allegedly have a project operating in the Philippines with partnership to taxi companies like Grab (Uber-like company in the Philippines)




Real Identity: Dmitry De Mitro, a Russian actor/singer working for a video production company.

Technically this dude is literally no one, until his name was credited on a short film found in Youtube that he was in with a production company. There is also a video of him being interviewed on Russian television.




Point # 2: Ghost company/project not really operating under the Philippines

The company, Transport Advertising Network (TACHAIN), only has 4 employees based on their Linked in profile and none of them are currently situated in the Philippines.



Aside from that their only known contact with a transportation company, Grab Philippines, is only through a tweet showing interest of a partnership. Other than that there are no official news followed up or any physical changes within Grab's services showing that they are partnered up with Tachain or any kind of advertising network.

Of all the people in the world they picked someone who most likely be noticed by someone.

When you are in upwork.com you can find some employers there who are looking for team members in the crypto projects and the position offered are CEO, COO and Marketing Head. Its certainly meant to scam. Rest assured all the members are fake.

To be honest if I didn't do a little bit digging of my own I wouldn't detect TACHAIN to be a scam project luckily we have tools such as Google and  reverse image search engines that could detect fraud in a mile away. If it weren't for Dmitry's Youtube video I would have gave up and stop search red flags from TACHAIN. Hopefully my post was not too late to warn some members here thinking TACHAIN as one of the ICO projects they will be buying.
