Topic: SchillingCoin SCH - SCAM - Plagiarized Project, recurring patterns in other proj (Read 170 times)

What happened::  

The project that goes by the name SchillingCoin SCH (Ticker: SCH) is using plagiarized:

1) Images

a) Logo is 1:1 copy of another coin (SchillingCoin, Ticker: OES) as you can see here:

b) Layout of announcement thread is copied from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anninmax-is-a-dependable-digital-asset-exchange-and-financial-system-5063944 (the link for facebook was left unedited yesterday and it redirected to inmax facebook page, see archived version from the thread: https://web.archive.org/web/20181119134437/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5071252)

c) Image used in WHITEPAPER and announcement thread is copied from http://www.noahdatatech.com/introduction-blockchains-means-big-data/

d) Masternode setup guide copied word by word, even the grammar errors and the screenshots from a coin that is originating from the same developer (Mozart-Coin)

2) Code (not really plagiarized, but apparently they are using a paid service for the genesis creation, which in turn says a lot about the expertise)

Also they have created a self-moderated topic and are censoring any critics, proof to be seen here: https://web.archive.org/web/20181119134437/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5071252
There have also been reports of an unfair swap being done, lots of people have been banned from the Telegram channel. (Invite-Link is not even working anymore)

Additional Notes: There are some other projects which come from the same team including the aforementioned mozart-coin.com and also human-chain.org. (similarities between the project undeniable, same peers connected to one austrian IP-address, which in turn resolves to some kind of middle-man that runs the whole operation)

The operation seem to follow the same pattern:
1) create & announce mn-capable coin
2) start overpriced private sale of mns
3) abandon (look at the other projects, no recent activity at all, completely quiet)
