[SCAM] Wolfage.finance DEFI SCAM!!

[-CryptoViking-]

What happened:: Wolfage.finance is running a DEFI presale project SCAM, paid some high profile trading groups with more then 20k members to hype them up as 50X potential project, they created all their social media including the website and github on 4th or on 7th September, plus they have plagiarised whitepaper with spelling mistakes in places where they wrote something themselves.They don't even have a roadmap. The "team" is completely anonymous and they are marketing this as a community driven project, they don't want to disclose any info related to "team".[/font]

Whitepaper has been copied from various sources as they are lazy , examples will be https://consensys.net/blockchain-use-cases/decentralized-finance/ and Defipulse.com and they have spelling mistakes where they actually wrote something themselves.








Screenshots of the dates of creations:[/size]




Screenshots of the TG trading channels promoting and hyping up the sale:  Probably didn't even check if it is a scam, just took the money to advertise the scam.

TG Groups promoting this scam:

• Pro Analysis TG LINK
• The Cryptorphic TG Link

My friends and I started diggin with alt accounts on TG and asking questions about plagiarised whitepaper, dates of creation and such.That created ruckus and other people started asking questions too. Bot started banning and restricting people, deleting question so it went quiet there really fast. Only their shillers and paid commentators are there asking generic questions about wallets, presale date and such.




EDIT: They announced the roadmap fast while I was creating the post so they look better.

Good job finding this scam, OP.  Looks like yet another DeFi scam, and they're just going to keep coming.  Maybe when all is said and done, somebody could compile all the ICO and DeFi scams and see which had more of them--I'm too ignorant and lazy to do that, but I know there are some super-motivated members on the forum who'd love to take on a project like that.

And what the hell does this even mean:



Yield farming, liquidity mining, buybacks, and burning....I'm assuming that's all DeFi-speak.  I've been trying to learn the basics of DeFi, but all that is Greek to me.

Yeah, all standard mumbo-jumbo lingo, using everything they can think of that could attract more people and make them think that token will skyrocket and appreciate like crazy. Paid advertising services to reputable TG trading groups is what is a next level and while I'm typing this I see I forgot to add the links to those TG groups, so I will edit the post.

Also those are only few TG groups I track to compare which groups are copying trade signal from some others and I'm compiling.

My friends and I already have a person that is our prime suspect that could be behind this scam as the same person ran a scam ICO and tried to hire us few years ago and we exposed him. So if we manage to confirm we will add more info.

There are new project and scam ones everyday on the defi hype uniswap trend. I think I almost see 5 to 10 new projects everyday doiny presale and trading as soon thr quota is reached. It will be hard to track down all of these especially they are just sticking on telegram and twitter promotions. Only few open up a bitcointalk discussion thread so its a dead end there. But if there are some guys like OP willing to track them all then its a good list.

My friends and I already have a person that is our prime suspect that could be behind this scam as the same person ran a scam ICO and tried to hire us few years ago and we exposed him. So if we manage to confirm we will add more info.

Good job OP, hope you can expose the scammers so everybody will be warned about them and if got lucky can put to jail those scammers.

Then i think both of you have enough information about that suspect and we will be able to know the connection between current and old project. I will not be surprised if you find connection among both project because most ICO scammers run money stealing platform on a regular basis and its the only source of their income.

Eagerly waiting to see more details from your end.

They have muted their community group completely as a result of my friends, me and then some other people that saw my Bitcointalk report, prodding, asking questions and investigating them.So I would call this a success.

I'm gonna be checking contracts and how much did they sell and what happens from here, update accordingly.

Regarding your hopes of connecting the dots and person we suspect, it is a bit harder as we only have a slim lead, some indications, but none are enough to be presented as a proof yet. Only thing we have is our memory, because nothing has a paper trails and it was not documented properly years ago.

[btcltcdigger]

Any indication how they sale went?
I'm always curious how much money scammers are making. Because when i see small amounts, i'm happy that people are starting to see through scams

^ Heres the presale link if you want to see the progress (https://bounce.finance/join/swap/2253) currently they collected 1339.31602954 ETH the timer also says remaining 2 hours lefts so we will know if this team will really delivered what is planned and the liquidity offering in uniswap if they do this then this is legit if they rug then sorry for the investors Im a longtime subscriber of Pro-analysis channel and its my first time too see they introduced new project like this one.

Damn, 1339 ETH collected for such an obvious scam. One would think that people will learn something from 2017 ICO bubble, but here we have even worse projects raising decent money from an ignorant and greedy people.

If some "Pro analysis channel" recommended you investing in something like this, I would leave immediately as they obviously don't know what they are talking about.

Ignorant investors are always after making more money while they ignore the possibility of getting scam because 95% of them dont learn that easy despite the numbers of YAM victims and I'm sure you'll agree with cause many of them still invested in ICOs even when the scammer was many before they later loose interest in ICOs investment.

If some "Pro analysis channel" recommended you investing in something like this, I would leave immediately as they obviously don't know what they are talking about.

Thats because youre absolutely aware that some pro analysis are paid for advertising a project sometime.

Highly anticipated to happen, investors are obviously crazy over these overly hyped projects and that means that the history will just repeat itself from happening again. Welcome to 2018 project-like part 2! Imaging getting almost 1400 ETH from investors, quite small in comparison with the others but this is huge to me. Imagine the scammers laughing when they start receiving investments lol

If some "Pro analysis channel" recommended you investing in something like this, I would leave immediately as they obviously don't know what they are talking about.

Short term projects are useful, don't get me wrong but the fact that it is short isn't worth of a time to invest unless you'll quickly exit when it landed on an exchange. Hopeful wishes in getting x10 is obviously foolish idea.

[-CryptoViking-]

The numbers are here:





So they managed to sell a ton, greedy people, greedy logic and some shilling and this is the result. They are smart though and I think this will be a long play scam, since lot of people are on them from the get go. Specially if the person we suspect is in on this, he knows how to do it slowly, by giving breadcrumbs along the way so it looks like team is working until it all slowly dissipates.

This is the core of the issue if you ask me.This kind of reasoning:

Pro Analysis post on TG about the "opportunity" and the schooling of sheep about the risk reward...



So classic shilling along with other TG "trading" channels... From my point of view I wouldn't be surprised a bit if this scam was cooperation of multiple "trading" channels to profit from Defi craze. They are copying other peoples charts for a long time, so nothing is beyond them from what I can see.

Here is the link to Uniswap if you want to track what is happening there:

Adding another update that further indicates that this was prepared scam.

I will upload a few screenshots here to show you some new details.

Screenshots 1 and 2:  




Here on byteblu.com they tested the scam. You can see Wolfage.finance logo and a layout, completely same as the website they are using now to conduct a scam. There are even same test blog articles down at the bottom and you will be able to see the same things in Screenshot 3 which was taken before they were able to kill the links from wolfage.finance website.

Screenshot 3:



Here you can see the same test blog articles, layout and everything else before they killed the links. Vyavasthaapak in Hindi means admin, but you can see it is the same shit.



Screenshot 4:




This is where they host the wolfage website. US company Endurance, hosted in New Delhi.

This leads me to further believe that this scam is cooperation of multiple TG "trading" channels that are most likely owned by the same people that are behind Wolfage scam. They use TG channels to get audience and then to promote the scam. I have no proof for that as it is very hard to tied those things together, but there are indications.

They share a lot of same trading signals and all of them promoted Wolfage scam, some still continue to do so. There are probably few more, but I have not gotten to those yet.

TG channels:

• https://t.me/ProAnalysisTrader
• https://t.me/PatelCrypto
• https://t.me/thecryptorphic

Also there is a solid chance that they are doing one more scam at the same time, but this is just an indication, need help from anyone who is willing to dig more to help me out.



There is not much difference between these 2. looks very similar, like they are using same font, text, changing positioning slightly, but to me it looks like a template with changed logo and background.

Yearnsfinance (Yfis) github was created on September 9th - https://github.com/YearnsFinance and it looks quite generic.

Telegram group was created same day - https://t.me/yearnsfinance

[btcltcdigger]

This yearns.finance shit looks like a scam in the making. I wouldn't be surprised if it soon gets promoted on those very same channels as a "good deal"

Ok, new update. Price is under 50% of what it was during the presale.Scummy scammers have started selling it of a bit, slowly , trying to not get caught, but guess what? They are caught. EXIT SCAM HAS STARTED.

So they tried to slip one transaction, small amount and hope it won't get noticed. I will show you all that in the screenshots below.

What I want to get out of the way first is the fact that they added a few days ago another person to their TG group and given that person access to their Twitter to run it. So Twitter was tracked and you can see from the screenshot that its Nigeria and India. Standard when it comes to scams on Telegram.


Screenshot:






Now onto the EXIT SCAM start:  I will list the transactions and screenshots in order and I have color coded transactions so everyone can track it easier even though it is not complicated at all. Plus links to those transactions.


Screenshot 1:  From theirs public sale address(red color) to another wallet (green color) for the amount of 43 ETH (red color),txhash is blue color.[/u]

Screenshot 2:  Transaction of 43 ETH with Txhash, and all other details color coded so it easier to see in the images.

I will try to report this to Binance, but sure it it will be taken into consideration and acted upon, most likely it won't. If anyone has any suggestions shoot, I would love to fuck them up somehow.

[-CryptoViking-]

New update. So the idiots have started a full on EXIT SCAM now. After testing with small amount, which you can see in my previous post, they saw that it is too obvious to move to Binance and they had to ban more people who started bringing this up, they found a way to do it differently. They moved 700 ETH to service called Tornado.Cash - Non-custodial anonymous transactions on Ethereum. They will try it this way. I will try to stop them as best as I can.


Screenshots of the transactions:


Wolfage wallet with the list of those 7 transactions:






TornadoCash contract with those 7 transactions from Wolfage address incoming:






1 0f those 7 transactions so you can see it, you can check rest if you are interested:






I will try to contact Tornado Cash on their Telegram group - https://t.me/TornadoCashOfficial with some of the proof and see if I can make them stop this somehow.If anyone has any ideas please write your suggestions so we try to stop this scammer scum.




I will update you all here after I contact them with the results of my inquiry.

[btcltcdigger]

Keep up the good work. If nothing, atleast make it as hard as possible for them.
In the end, karma will do it's thing

[-CryptoViking-]

Thanks, that is exactly what I'm trying to do, make it as hard for them as possible to scam more people. They have now come to the forum, so I will flag them as they are trying to lie even more now here on Bitcointalk.


Flag added to OP.

[btcltcdigger]

Flag supported. Will add a negative feedback as soon as i get near a pc.
It's a pain doing it over a mobile phone
