it might be considered a scam, first before we judge the project is good, the website. if the website already has the initials of plagiarism. in my opinion it's a dangerous feature. if I, better leave the project. and looking for more promising projects

Smile, same websites design background or overview doesn’t mean they are scam. They may possibly use same website designer and use same design for all of them. The project itself is what you need to make your reasearch on. If it’s good for you, go ahead invest your money

I really doubt that different companies may accidentely choose one website design from one designer. Seems pretty like scammer tries to use few sites to scam people. I think thats not a most smart plan to scam someone I have ever seen but newbies may be in danger. So yes, I think it is a scam and I storngly recommend you to alert about it your fellows.

Yes, it is possible to suspend projects if they are scams. But this cannot be done based on a hunch. We need to have a full research done and need to provide legit evidence that the project shown is a scam in order for it to get suspended.

Everything can be at least because only time can check the capabilities of the project. It seems to me that part of these projects may well be a Scam

Before coloring a project as a scam, we need to do a full research and come with the right evidence to support our clause. If it is proven to be true, then yes, we can suspend projects which are scams by reporting them.

From my view I implicit this shaded cryptocurrency project was a scam. Also some small cryptocyrrency project labeling the scam in progress. It offer two types of benefit for investor.

Until the end of time
I looked at the both sites and i didn't find anything wrong with, they had a different design, having counter that display the count down is a normal thing with most ICO, unless their is something you want to point out particularly that looks similar. though the sites looks suspicious a lot but the designs are not much similar.

The projects look very shady at the first glance but then again they could have been developed by the same developer team which can be the main reason behind such coincidence. Nevertheless, I would suggest to not to fall for all the projects you see on the internet.

You talk about Servadvisor, vantumnetwork, OZEX, humbyl it might be Scam since those are using quite similar app design but not certain. Just research more about those website and decision is yours. Be careful about your investment and be secured.

It might be true that the websites are just scam projects or maybe they are just small projects to offer you small tokens. Actually, after studying all four of their projects, I found out they all are very new and haven't any strong endorsement which will prove their authenticity. So, if you wanna go with them, you may have a long look at these projects before proceeding.

If you see something like this then you are most likely dealing with a scam. There is just way too much similarity for it to be different people who are trying to make unique project. You should make sure to not involve yourself in a project like this. I am glad you shared it, now others will know not to involve themselves in such a project.

Probably yes, but we have also to consider the fact that a lot of company are specialized on creation of an ico base (web site/ smartcontract ecc..) so if you didn't see any track of this company, probably they are scam

Most probably that is a Scam. A phishing site maybe. Be careful and be wary on what you do and share. It is possible that they are just getting some information about you.

I believe that you may suspect that an ICO could have been a scam by doing the necessary research of the important information of such ICO that you may be doubtful with the project. It would be also necessary to investigate properly and also check for the bounty manager handling the bounty campaign which should be best that it should have no negative trust at least you will feel much safer then.

Same website design cannot be the only indication of being scam. Anyone can use same templates for their webpage or a web company can sell a design to more than one company.

It could be a scam, if project team cannot build a simple website to market their ICO from ground up and use free template or template they bought from third then it will be a red flag for me.

It can not be said with 100% certainty that this is fraud. These projects are very carelessly made a site, as well as they are not on the popular ICO rating of projects. Therefore, I would not recommend investing in this project, since this is probably fraud.

Yes, it's possible projects using the same website design might the same dev trying to scam investors in different direction. Do your research properly before investing in any ico.

Yes, it can be a sign of fraud, the team is different and the design of each must be original.

I don't think judging a scammer only from the web design is a good idea.  I mean look at every online store, online news etc, they all look the same.  I've seen a lot ICOs website with same style too.  You know like blockchain style, line, dot connecting, hovering on the background of the web.  Maybe that is just a style or a genre of a blockchain business.  Maybe the same designer too.  But it's only my opinion.  Who knows, right?
If an ICO can't even exert effort on the design of their website, what can we expect when it comes to builing the actual product? The web design, including the ann thread, is one of my metrics for determining if an ICO is a scam.

Wow! if you have seen websites above having the same design, then this is a warning flag that it could be a scam site so be careful

There may be one website design team for several projects simultaneously. However I do not think this really coincidence.
Perhaps investors should be more vigilant.
Thanks for your sharing.

These websites looks quite suspicious so I would not make a deal with them and you would better find something else for an investment. Market is in stagnation and I am not sure that it is a good idea to invest into suspicious projects because even premium projects are not so successful. Anyway it is your decision but I would better try to catch a rollback in bitcoin to buy it because bitcoin is growing well enough the last several days.

all the links you mentioned using Lightshot, this is an application that can be used to save the web, and scam or not it depends on the ico itself

Yes possibly, that is why research and due diligence is very important before investing, we should stop investing in fake, suspicious, copy cats and poor quality projects, in short we should discourage bad projects and encourage only quality projects.

its possible its a scam.
or like some ico, for which they hire a certain individual to manage their bounty.
its likely possible that they hired someone to design their website.
its better if you make a more thoroughly research on listed ICO.
and best of luck though. if you find more flaws. its for your to decide

Scams may be the reason for your loss. You will never enter a suspected website or link. Then you can keep yourself safe. Your wallet will be stored. i think it will be good decission for you.
