Before scammer always try to copy/ make their project name related to bitcoin. But now people are trying to copy the name of uniswap. LOL
It's uniswapGOLD maybe we are waiting for a project name uniswapGEM.

Though I think a hidden team is better than a fake team in crypto. So it's not a big problem if the team doesn't want to public them. but the whitepaper copypaste is one of the biggest shady works for a project. These projects will 99% will scam IMO. but we can not stop them. So better to use the investor's brain before making any investment.

** witcher_sense, your pc's display sharpness level is too high? Always I see your screenshot does not look as normal. Should be changed. Otherwise, it could affect your eyes.

Nice find, witcher_sense.

To be honest, I am actually proud that less projects that either have plagiarized whitepapers and/or fake team members are listed on the ANN board of this forum. Recently, there also has been a good community of scam busters in the forum that help clean malwares and other scam projects. Though this project is not listed in the forum, it is still beneficial to everyone (forum member or not) as it serves as a warning before they invest.

Keep up the good work and I will support every member who does the same as well!

It's quite ridiculous that peoples are getting scams from Uniswap already by fake tokens. But now some other scammers copy the name and want to get the advantage of that. I think by copy-paste the platform names, scammers want to convince victims quite easily. And more easy methods of building a platform with plagiarism. They don't need to research hard and spend time to write the whitepaper.

Anyway, good to see that you already exposed that scammers, never mind if that project hasn't listed on the forum. But this thread would search on Google search.

I have already mentioned somewhere on another topic few days earlier that we are going to see a lot of Uniswap related scam projects soon and you detected another one. You have done impressive investigation work like you always do.

Its the way by which they get their potential users without spending money after advertising. You can call this free marketing and this is why they build their project by cloning another established platform. Whenever a project make a good move and popularity in the market scammers like them start to make their plan and take preparation to launch the clone one. It can be a Free Airdrop, Fake Giveaway or profit generating website.

Most interesting thing is that they are much active than you and me where usually they don't let any chance away from their hand. This is why we see most of their money stealing activities during new events or announcements of a established project.

Thank you, mate! Thanks to the fighters against fraud, Bitcointalk forum has become an unfriendly and even hostile place for those whose goal was only to deceive others, steal other's money, private keys, sensitive information, and identities. The fewer and fewer scam projects post their ANN here because they know they will be caught instantly.

Sharpness level is not too high, but I have all fonts somewhat broken for some unknown reason.

In fact, there are more people who imitate the name Uniswap for their personal interests, the name Uniswap is still well-known among scammers so that when it is used there is still a chance, therefore by posting here it can help everyone know that if there is a new platform name with Uniswap, don't believe it so much. just a clone they make for the money they want.
Ah never mind the UNI airdrop has passed and we just think it won't happen twice so stay alert.

Uniswap has given a trending topic to some people due to its popularity, using this name scammers can run away with people's money. Since Uniswap airdrop, they have created a huge variety of websites using their names just to scam. Has created a project here using the name of uniswap just to take money from investors. Everyone should stay away from such projects. Now the situation in the crypto market is much better, so some people will try to take advantage of this situation.
