Topic: SCAM! Bit-Paradise - FAKE CEO, Plagiarized Whitepaper [UPDATED: 1/Aug/2019] (Read 820 times)

Since, this Bitparadise chaps are still active especially on their telegram I decided to add a Newbie flag. I would like a couple of people to support it.
Thanks.

Type 1 Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=534

Op has been updated with a summary of events that happened with links to those different posts and findings for details.
I hope it will be easily followed by new readers
Thank you.

We received a response from AirdropAlert, and they have removed Bitparadise from their verified list.

We are not defending AirdropAlert, but they have been one of the cleanest websites (free of ico's scams) that we know in the market.
They have a webpage of unverified airdrop https://airdropalert.com/unverified-airdrops (suspicious, scam, etc..)  It appears that they do their due diligence, as you can see on that list some of them are marked as scam and there is a reference to this forum.

We sent them an email today reporting that there is a scam listed, probably they will take it down. Usually, they are very good at taking action, not like other sites that we report and they ignore.

Maybe they changed administration, or maybe they didnt call it a scam because the OP has not accused it of a scam yet: "Bit-Paradise - FAKE TEAM"
OP should consider updating this thread subject line and add the word "scam" in there, and on the main post as well.

1- evidence

- Fake Ceo - 1st image = stock photo (fake)
- CEO - replaced with 2nd photo that doesnt match the first one.
- A video was requested, and the person on the video presented is not the same as the 1st or 2nd image.
- A new image of the CEO was requested
- They presented a badly photoshopped image that doesnt match any previous photos/video posted by them.
- Unable to fabricate a new image they replaced the CEO completely.  

2- evidence
- Plagiarized whitepaper

Also they didnt provide evidence that they have a license to operate a casino.

You can find all evidence listed above on this thread - archived here

It's a lie, they are not the most authentic because they can't even do a simple due diligence by checking the scam accusations board to see if the project was listed as scam.
My guess is bit-paradise took their  project to get listed on AirdropAlert knowing that they already lost trust here.

And probably bribed them some money that's why they are deleting your comments. My advice is to keep off such ICO and Airdrop listing websites

Same ICO Airdrop is posted on AirdropAlert..

Most authentic Airdrop promotion site (They claim it to be)!!!

Sounds like that you came here to talk about (promoting???) Micro.com.br -(Possibly another scam???) -  Cryptocurrency is not supported or regulated by the Brazilian Government, and gambling is illegal.  
We are aware of many scams made in Brazil and there are people there teaching how to create scams. There one person that was an adviser in a few scams,  after caught, he deleted all his social media and disappeared (maybe he is still working but with another name).

 
Bit-parasite still listed in many places, on the typical scam promoters platform, such as ICOHolder, Bench, and a few others.






Unbelievable, all members failed KYC and ICOBench still listed them with 3.4 ratings.

Yes it is, look through this whole thread for more information.

OP, coolcryptovator or ICOEthics might have knoweledge of more other useful tools, but those are the one i also know about.
Otherwise you are welcome 

Thank you. I know most of those, except tineye. Will look that one up. 

There are very many tools on the web that can help with image recognition and image search. Some ore premium whereas others are free
We have google images, yandex images, Amazon Rekognition, tineye, bing images etc.

How do you locate images like that? Some kind of facial recognition through image archives? I always want to do it with projects that I think are shady but haven't found a good way of searching. Also, the image compare ICO posted earlier is cool too.

Really expected from a self-Moderated ANN that already has 3 posts from 3 users already deleted.
The scammer is trying very hard to bump the thread by updating it but it's getting no attention from the community probably because of his red tag.

Another interesting find is the Name of the fake CEO they claimed was real has suddenly turned from Jerry Wang to JD Venkatesh. He's nolonger Chinese or Korean

My post was deleted on his thread though -  

Interesting to know what their ICO results be? Are they going to hit their targets after getting the red trust? And checking the reference link, the exchange of thoughts are worth reading. It will give you a certain picture what's going on with this project. So are they going to hit the paradise soon or not?



Now, this becomes more interesting!!!

New topic, new account, new attempt to trick people into their scam. Did they really think this would go unnoticed?

Please tell me they haven't changed their CEO's photograph again?

Grabbing someone else's photo at the very early stage of development is already a big NO NO to trust a project. Just because they were caught red-handed, they formulate excuses after excuses. Thanks for all these individuals who dedicate their time of seriously digging the facts and sharing it to the community.

Took time to read through the replies that were made while away and i must commend ICOEthics, Morvillz7z and the rest here on how you stood your ground and handled the whole situation.
Bit-Paradise just messed up even the little chance they were given.
I could see it from the ANN maker's bitter responses that something was definitely not right.

Another fake image and now fake whitepaper = Now we can give them a red trust that they deserve. They didn't want to answer the questions, and we had more, such as provide evidence of this:

SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS ONLINE GAMING LICENSE REQUIREMENTS:
" The company must pay the Government a registration fee of USD 80,000 and an annual license fee of USD 40,000."
