As I said in their thread, this is just a combination of few other projects and nothing else. As many others, they are just trying to use current DeFi hype in order to get few hundred ETH and then disappear.

I "like" the reasoning behind decision to stay anonymous, like they are some threat to the government so they gotta hide their identity. In one hand they are right, since they are scammers they are a threat .

Flag supported and user tagged!

Anyone remembers an ICO used to call "project C"? It seems they have copied the marketing style from them. Are they same guy or different?

PS: The domain name could be an example of plagiarism?
Coinbase :-D

I was surprised to see that no one has tagged nor flagged them.

This one? What did they copy?

Yes this one I guess, the site is down. What I remember is that the bold style cheesy talks. For example:
- Why settle for less ...
- We are anonymous because ...
- Please do your own research ...

These sorts of straight forward answers which looks legit but fishy at the same time.

Found some from the archive:

What about SEC and rules?
C is a legit Project. Same as Bitcoin.

What I am suppose to do now?
You missed Bitcoin & Ethereum at their beginning, this is your last chance not to miss C.

There will be many more projects which will popup and use the DeFi hype to get money from the innocent investors. I wonder why people are so ignorant and they fall for these scams. Don't invest in every Defi / Cefi projects or you will end up losing your money.

I was trying to caught enough evidence to frame them, but LOL, they evades my questions and before I can push them for some answers, the flag has raised.

On their thread, they still deny this accusation tho, so I think I'll do another push until either they gave up or they showed the evidence needed.

^ It is usually like that, you ask scammers something and they just don't want to answer, then you tag/flag them and all of sudden they act like they are victims here and everyone is against them and/or trolling them. Don't break your head too much over this, if they don't want to answer your questions put them on ignore and move on, there is more than enough other "projects" in altcoin to talk about..

They won't give up and will not show you any proof too. They will just insist that they are right as there only target is to get some money from the people's pocket. Flag's raised and now its people responsibility to keep away from it. If anyone still deal with them knowing the facts (flagged), then we cant do anything about such people.

They will evade important questions and will just answer what they wanted to say. If you have given warning to the community, it is now in the hands of the users whether they will buy it or not. At the end of the day, it is their money and they have the privilege to do what they want with their money. But don't blame anyone when something goes wrong with their funds.
