Topic: [WARNING] Golda.store Plagiarized Whitepaper (Read 111 times)
This is an outright copy of somebody else's whitepaper and yes, their team profiles is quite doubtful. I have sent inquiries to some of the members mentioned on the website and let's see if they will confirm or refute the claim of golda project. Will post here once they responded. Also, I hope this project will not post this on the forum because they are already busted even before setting their foot here.
Actually I also want to ask about this question but I don't see active telegram groups and as such are difficult to contact, their whitepaper copies clearly want to reap the benefits of the gold project they are developing so I think there is no doubt that their intentions are indeed to prey on investors.
@cheezcarls Scamer will not display their profile and of course without permission other people have used their profile so I have started to suspect and investigate this project after the website interface is the same as GramGold and sure enough they copied everything.

I've seen a few Facebook contacts of mine who are promoting the Golda airdrop with their referral links in their timeline. But I didn't mind it until I saw this scam accusation thread about Golda.
And just a heads up! I've checked the team members' LinkedIn accounts, and I had a gut feeling that the real team members are hiding their real identities and using others' LinkedIn accounts without permission.
If you take a look at Emal Safi's LinkedIn profile, he didn't state in his background that he's the CEO and founder of Golda, but rather as the Aircoins CEO. I have checked his LinkedIn posts and I don't see him actively posting anything about Golda.

And also Roy Ingbre, when I clicked the link, it redirects to Emal Safi's LinkedIn profile. So this guy has no existing LinkedIn account.
Same for Simon Vrsansky, he's currently the head of marketing at Coinmate crypto exchange and not mentioning Golda to his position or in his posts.

As for Sharon Collins, she's just a web designer at Sh Collins Design and not mentioning her position or any timeline posts about Golda.

So for me, this is clearly a potential scam, not just plagiarizing whitepaper.

@Talkstar All of what they made in their own projects only stole content from other projects and the new domain they used to believe that this project was just running and would continue to grow even though it was clearly not appropriate for us to follow even though there was an airdrop campaign underway.
They don't care about the stolen contents they use to steal people's money. Usually their main target is new and immature investors who have limited knowledge about crypto investment. Specially who don't know how to detect fake team and plagiarized whitepaper. I saw so many users who post here after getting scammed by this kinda project and realized what mistakes they have done. In this field bitcointalk scam accusation section is playing a great role and saving a lot of investors everyday. You can't stop this scammers and they know that bitcointalk scam busters will reveal their scam face if they make ANN here. Thats why most of the time they stay far from here but sometimes their promoters share links to gather affiliate bonus.

@Jating is clear that this project will not have ANN here for fear of being caught that their project is plagiarizing other projects and they are actually promoting it in telegram and social media groups and with airdrop so that many have fallen into it. But I hope I will not invest in this project.

I've seen this recently and read their promises but then I almost think to somehow invest in it, as Digital Gold were successful and they still have their bounty running upto now while already listed on the market. And isn't a good investment on a gold-backed currency? (If only I had a chance to invest in Digital gold back when it wasn't listed).. But still, Nice catch op! Glad I knew this before investing.
I've also searched their team and it was even more suspicious.
Just stay away from them and save your money & time. This scammers are running their website with a new domain and stolen contents. If i am not wrong then this kinda platform owners run multiple projects together and in everytime they steal someone others whitepaper or team. They know that their project will not last for long but expectation of making some easy money give them confidence to run. I've also searched their team and it was even more suspicious.
Those who can't make thieir own white paper, we cannot expect anything good from them. Also there are many fraud projects in the market who are using fake teams and fake projects only to get some quick money. Such projects disappears as soon as they are identified and they come up with a new name to scam again.
Nice catch, it looks like they just wanted to ride on the popularity of Digital Gold and just put some little spin on it, "GOLDA", what the hell is that name, Lol.
@Insanerman - we both missed the boat, that project is really doing good, their campaign is still running, indicative that they are real and legit, maybe we should did more research earlier. Instead we regret our decision now. Anyways, as I have said, another good catch here, and obviously, since there are no ANN thread, I do hope that no one will fall for this scam.
