Red Flag #7: Their website is almost identical to the template demo

I just wanted to share some more information about the Athos Meta Capital website and to show how lazy these scammers really are. Their website is almost identical to the template demo from Themeforest. They didn't even bother to change the images used in the demo, including client/partner logos in the footer. Considering that most of the content is plagiarized, they probably made the entire website in less than 15 minutes. This is not something you would expect from a company that claims to have more than 10 years of experience in the financial business and a massive capital available to invest in potential projects.

Thanks for your review.

We are very delighted that our project are expanding in many crypto communities and are paid a lot of attentions from users

The crypto field has general terms and there are thousands of projects being born everyday, we think this is not a big problem to analyze.

When we blend ourself in this market, we took Cardano as our goal to strive and we work night and day to achieve our targets

Regarding the game field, we have experienced it for 10 years, and there are thousands of game versions similar to us nowaday. Fishing Games are very popular in people's lives, we have implemented many game projects and gained a lot of good reputation. And now we want to apply this game to P2E blockchain model so that we can bring more benefits to users based on the clever ATM tokenomics

As far as we know, Gila Studio persists in the belief that this is their game product. Indeed they copied and imitated our products on the app store so many times.

Please read our game information here https://docs.athos-meta.io/ecosystem/p2e-fishing-game, we believe that this product will put a new brick in the crypto game market. Stay tuned with us for upcoming news

I would like to know what you and "your team" use for mood management. Sounds very good.
You are here accused of plagiarism, and this is negative attention to your Athosmeta project. I believe that when you understand the negative ratings and the active flag, then you will ask here for it to be withdrawn because it is a mistake.

Based on all the evidence, I tagged their account and created a Newbie warning (Type 1) Flag against user AthosMeta: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3019
Please support if you agree.

Supported, now I am going to red tag them.

As I mentioned before, here is more information about ATHOS META's parent company, Athos Meta Capital.

Website: https://athos-meta.capital/ [archived]

Red Flag #4: Domain is less than three months old

Quote from: https://whois.domaintools.com/athos-meta.capital

81 days old
Created on 2022-05-24
Expires on 2023-05-24
Updated on 2022-05-29

Although the copyright notice in the footer of the website says ©2018.

Red Flag #5: Plagiarized content

Speaking of copyright, most of the content on the website is plagiarized from various sources. This is only a sample:

Original source: https://labs.binance.com/

Original source: https://blackmamba.ventures/

There is more plagiarism than this, of course.

Red Flag #6: A non-existent company

They pretend to be a legitimate business but are actually a non-existent company. Apart from the fake phone number and email address, no other contact information were found on their website. There is no address, no physical location, no company registration, nothing.

Based on all the evidence, I tagged their account and created a Newbie warning (Type 1) Flag against user AthosMeta: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3019
Please support if you agree.

Thanks op. ANN Thread is locked as well. I will close the bounty campaign too.

It is important to research about the project before launching any campaign, if you could have done the minimum research then you would not have seen anything like this. Whenever you get an offer to manage a bounty campaign, you should not accept it blindly without doing some research.

It is unfortunate that many copy content projects are allowed to do their marketing in this forum due to unprofessional managers.

ScamViruS, Previously we did a research about this project, They recently (August 10, 2022) updated their wp.

If you have researched the right way, then how can you take the wrong step of launching a bounty campaign for a half-finished wp project? And you didn't check when they updated wp?

You should look into these aspects before managing any bounty campaigns in the future, because if you make mistakes over and over again, it will take your reputation to a very bad level.

It seems you took more than just that from Cardano project. You have used identical sentences from their materials, and you have incorporated them into your content. This is called plagiarism.

I'd like to see some proof of that. Where is your team? Where can I find your previous work? Where is your portfolio or code repository?

As far as we know, Gila Studio persists in the belief that this is their game product. Indeed they copied and imitated our products on the app store so many times.

So you claim that they actually stole your product? A bold claim, but I'm skeptical. Can you back this up with evidence?
I can see their game is quite popular on Google Play Store, where can I find yours? Anyway, I have forwarded this information to Gila Studio, awaiting their response.

OP, you can probably create an actual flag for this user, you confused me a little with so many flags in your report, but without a flag for support. Cheesy

I didn't think of that. LOL!
I will still wait a little longer for the representative of this project to respond before I decide to create a Flag against them, also, I have contacted the Gila Studio developers and we will see what they have to say about the use of their intellectual property.

If he ^AthosMeta started the business with plagiarism, cannot expect any honourable work behind everything so, it should be marked and neg. tagged.

Yes, it's all just a hype-word marketing full of terms like yield farming, staking, AI bot trading, Meta(verse), P2E gaming, NFT... Basically, everything they could think of is in there!
I'll update this report soon with new information and additional red flags about their parent "company" Athos Meta Capital.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Last night I did a search on this project, and I was planning to make a report today, Cheesy

but the OP was quicker to uncover so it's much better to know.

Waiting for a response from AthosMeta as the representative of this project.

Little did I catch

gotta let a coin be a coin

Wash, rinse and repeat - even reading the plagiarized content is a bunch of gibberish. What is any of that really mean? Do they have a github? What did they fork this off of? Good hunting on this one, FF. Hopefully, folks don't get pulled in if it's phony.
