I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this:
...

There isn't much we can expect from a project with Hamza Khan as one of the advisers (if that is true at all). Hamza Khan is founder and CEO of Stellar Gold and a well-known scammer! A self-proclaimed ICO expert who promotes a lot of SCAM projects but has a lifetime ban here on bitcointalk. Grin

I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this:

What was the need to modify the face of one of your team members like this?
I indeed he is one of your team members?!

Nah, it is not the way it works. What you have stated above has absolutely nothing to do with the matter discussed here.

Clearly, you have some reading to do Wink

There is nothing wrong with doing research to get direction on a particular topic. The problem arises with the usage of whole passages of text copied verbatim from the source and pasted into your work, with just a few words changed here and there. There is no citation, no reference to the original author, nor is it clear how extensive the 'borrowing' was. This is blatant plagiarism!

Another thing we can talk about is copyright infringement. I guess you know what that means? The content you used in your whitepaper is clearly part of the copyrighted work, and I sincerely doubt that you got permission from the author.

The writer has messaged me. He stated that a few sections are what is being questioned of 37 pages which is comprised of over a hundred or so sections. The last page of the white paper cites all information sources that were used significantly; this with other sources included.
Customer service models and ways of doing business become standards that are cited and used by entire businesses across the world. This fits in that category. It is generic business principles not anything technical or specific only to AoS. Nor is it presented as such.
I would hope that people would read the entire paper and would have saw that and with a little care to think about it - realize it was about generic principles of doing business and clearly states it is a model that is good and should be followed. Again, it as well as other sources are cited at the end. People should be more careful in making accusations without proper investigation.

It is virus season, and there are more dangerous things than corona lurking in bitcointalk forum Wink

Thank you for reporting.
It is clear case of plagiarism, and I left nice little feedback gift for their profile.
Did they expect they can get away with this or should we wait to see all famous excuse case 'it was not me' now?

@dkbit98 Thank you for your support and the feedback.

As far as I know, plagiarism is not acceptable in any percentage and should not be taken lightly, especially in such an important document for any project, such as the whitepaper.
There are many other red flags, such as the lack of a physical address for their company nor the mention of this project by their so-called advisors on their social profiles. In fact, the more I look at this project, the more I see another quick money grab ICO with nothing to show.

Will keep an eye on this one. Wink

What happened: [AoSPooling: Art of Science] [REALKOYN] whitepaper contains plagiarized content

Scammers Profile: AoSpooling

Original Reference: Subscription Marketing for SaaS - Anne Janzer

Additional Notes: To my knowledge, Anne Janzer, the book author, is not a member of the AoSPooling team, however, large portions of her book were copy/pasted into AoSPooling whitepaper. Although some references to the sources are cited at the end of the text, this is an unacceptable as whole passages are blatant copy/paste. The fact that the original source is copyrighted material is ignored and no credit is given to the original author.
