Nice catch OP, as always. Account tagged and flag supported.

Beside fake team, I think that something more sinister might be behind this, and it's malware links inside thier wallet. If you check their github account ( https://github.com/Marloondev) you will see that it's only 2 days old. Maybe I am just paranoid, but I am gonna report it Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action ! so someone with more expertise might check it. Better safe than sorry.

Good find OP and flag supported, and I see they are also sharing Malware download links  
It is good Announcements board are not bumping them on top and they are obviously lazy using stock photos with zero editing.

@Rikafip

There might be a link between the two but my guess would be someone trying to use the name to spread an SEO coverage for these links. Probably something similar like what happened with Yearn and scams that happened after it but following its name.

Seriously though these stock images make it look like alpha-male fashion dudes to be team members which makes them a laughing stock, talk about crypto startups. Who in the world keeps their name "Silver Fang"

But still some people will fall for that, hopefully not if they find this thread.

Flag supported.

Thank you for pointing this out, Rikaflip.

Upon checking the several links posted on their ANN, one of their files contained a malware. I'll be posting the link below of the virustotal scan and a screenshot. I will also report this to the moderators for quick action.
