It turns out _all_ of this guy's previous and ongoing projects are pump n dump scams, so I was happy to support this flag... I actually opened this thread to make sure there was a flag on him, and there is, so good work.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Here is another obvious scammer with slightly different tactics:

@Rikafip is this enough to open a scam report?

Can't see reasons for a scam report, though I might think if it's under the "no begging" rule of the forum.

I am completely amazed at how insensitive people can be. Probably one of the worst types of scammers.

Sadly it is always like that when some major crisis happens. During that Amazon rainforest fires it was the same situation, bunch of people saw it as opportunity to get some money by making various fake projects and advertising it here.

lol in all fairness, bomb was the same way with tons of clones and random projects based on it springing up everywhere with people trying to get rich quick. I think in general, people make tokens / coins for almost anything. I do wonder why some people bet big investments on such projects though...

I wouldn't compare this to all those deflationary copy/paste projects, as this is way worse in my opinion. End goal is maybe the same - cashgrab, but it's another thing to copy some bad project, and another to copy few articles and raising money by pretending you are fighting some disease.

What happened: VaccinaCoin is just another attempt to profit from current Corona virus situation. They took 2 articles, copied it, added few of their sentences, and now they are trying to raise the money for vaccine. But we all know where that money will end.

VaccinaCoin is supporting Moderna in the vaccine design process

A 11 billion dollars company supported by a shit token ?!?
YES this is definitely a scam.

Yep, they can't even explain in their own words what all this is about, so idea of them helping multibillion company to find cure for virus is absolutely ridicolous. These are the worst kind of scammers; while people are dying all over the world, economies in the free fall and almost whole world paralyzed, they went for this disgusting cash grab idea.
