i have nothing to do with Symmetry fund. i took over the Telegram channel to help prevent people from getting scammed.
Suspected that might be the case after I posted, so if a channel gets deleted anyone can register one with the same name?
Interesting, and valid point... although the comments suggest that address has been associated with phishing scams. I haven't contributed to the ICO myself, but is it possible that the contribution system has been compromised by a hacker?
Thanks to bootlegneurons to point out some of the weaker spots in my list of Big Red Flags, but it's still a SCAM. Let's assume for a second you're not part of this scammers team, in that case I'd like to thank you for help me improving my skills to find a next scam.
Definitely not part of the team - SYMM has just been on my radar and I was planning to invest because it looked promising. Just trying to do due diligence and clear up some points. We're on the same team.
Yeah, he's not listed, so I emailed them directly at
[email protected] to ask, and got a reply from a Richard Jacobs from Speakeasy Marketing confirming his attendance.
Haha... I think there's a slight difference with your site! But I see your point, it's probably easy enough to register a company if you're a scammer.
Andrew Lewin does exits... Thanks for the link to that Financial Services Register. Did you however expand the block at the bottom? That Andrew Lewin has worked for e.g. Royal Bank of Canada and Kleinsworth Benson bank. That is a 100% mismatch with the profile that the "Andrew Lewin" of Symmetry has given, it's a different person.
Good catch, thanks for pointing that out.
To all here who still believe it is not a scam. I suggest to wait after ico ended and buy it on the open market afterwards or wait for the second round to invest. You might pay a bit more for it if it turns out te be legit, but it saves you money if it is not.
^ Very good idea. I'm sure a managed fund style of token isn't going to trade at much of a premium over its NAV.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Some good counter-arguments. The company/team directly involved could certainly be scammers, but I also wonder if they might be innocent and have been hacked somehow? It's certainly worrying that they haven't addressed these allegations directly and have shut down their communication channels instead of tackling the situation head-on or releasing a press statement though.
I think I will wait until it hits an exchange (if that ever happens).
