Nice catch.

In the future, simply create a typ1 flag against the user promoting it. This makes it easier (and quicker) to simply support it.

Since you didn't, i created one.

I don't know how to create that.
Thanks.

I don't know how to create that.

For the future:

1) Visit the profile of the scammer.
2) Click on 'Trust'.
3) Scroll down to 'New feedback' -> 'Negative feedback'.
4) At the end of that line, click on 'add a flag'.
5) Choose the appropriate type (Type 2 and 3 only if you have been directly damaged, in other cases: type 1).
6) Enter the link to your thread and check the box.
7) Copy the URL (which is the URL to the flag) and post it here for others to support it.

Did some research on the ICO.

Looks like they are only listed on a very small exchange, TokenMom. There is currently zero trade history, so that means no one has bought/sold the coin, which leads me to believe that the developers hold 100 percent of all coins.



I looked into TokenMom and they look like a scam exchange as well. Their Twitter, has 6,000 followers but only gets 5-10 likes per post, so the majority of their followers are bought. Their Telegram also looks to be the same, 8000 members but 4 messages a day. Their listing form for projects also seems very sloppily-made, with any project being able to be listed on for an 1 ETH fee.



The only payments that have been sent to that address are below. And there only looks to be 4 transactions made in the last 4 days, so either one of those 4 transactions is Habitus, or they could have the same people behind the project.



Tried to find more information on Habitus, but there is no team page/lindeklin, or an actual address. Nothing else to research.

Most hunters don't care about it unless they got tagged for promoting them. They'll probably shout and cry later when their tokens aren't worth anything, or distribution got delayed for a very long time.

Not the first time, and I believe not the last one either.

Dear users, we will not be defending anything at all. We know we made a mistake of trusting some people we shouldn't have trusted. We deserve this unfortunate situation. We are going to close out the project and refund the investment we have received so far. We are going to work out things again and use genuine people. Unfortunately, we trusted some newbies on Fiverr with Whitepaper and some other aspects, and that's the reason we are in this situation. We have no intention of scamming anyone at all.

All users will be refunded in next 24/36 hours, and the threads will be closed thereafter. Thank you

Due to sections of a white paper being copied by a service provider on fiverr.com we have decided to withdraw habitus until we can work around this issue. refunds have started and will be completed today this can be checked via our token contract. Everyone below who joined Habitus has had a refund and 3 remaining will be done today also.

This is heartbreaking for us as the idea behind what we want to achieve was amazing. So we will be back

@timerland thanks for your research with detail.
Hope anyone dont waste time on it for bounty, etc...

No worries 

@Habitus

What are the refunds for? I clicked on 3 of them and they seem to be just refunding 2-3 dollars worth of ETH. Is that all the investment you've received so far? I would have expected more then like 100 dollars raised, because I remember your site having a progress bar showcasing investments that have been sold (I can't see now, because their site just puts me at a placeholder telling me that they are undergoing maintenance.)

Please clarify why you couldn't make your own whitepaper? If you have a revolutionary idea you believe in, you should make sure other people do it right, or do it yourself. Can you also tell us who where the people who lied to you on fiverr, so they can get taken down for scamming.
