Reading the previous pages, I don't think those newbies are really interested in investing on this project. The IEO will start tomorrow and I don't think they can raise good money from here. What are the plans of the team if in case they can't collect their target finances from this IEO?
Of course those newbies are not showing genuine interest. They are part of the bumping group, and all of them are most likely controlled by one or few persons max.
It is a shady practice, as those accounts usually promote just about anyone as long as they are willing to pay. It doesn't matter much to them whether it's scam or not, they take the money and do the work.
But what those that are hiring them doesn't know is that bumping doesn't work anymore as it used to, and it won't bring them good kind of attention, as it is very obvious what is going on here.
