Bottom line: Suspect everything in the cryptocurrency space other than Bitcoin to be a scam. Grin
That sums it up nicely.

It is interesting to see that Rfinance made their first announcement thread week ago. First they hired someone to do it for them, but when they were busted for plagiarism by @AhmandM in [WARNING] RFinance (RFI) Plagiarized Website Contents , OP of that thread naturally deleted it. So what else will scammers do than open a new one as they don't really care about reputation. For them it's rinse and repeat business anyway, where they churn out new scammy projects one after the another. It cost them very little time and money, while profits are huge.



Oops I did not realize that Ahmad already posted an accusation on this project. I'll be locking this thread now to prevent any further damage.

This Rfinance plagiarism was reported before by other member AhmadM:

Probably OP didn't see it before posting his own, but one of this topics should be locked now

I am very sorry but I did not realize that Ahmad posted an accusation against this project before. Thank you, I'll be locking this thread now.

Flag supported. I hope more DT members also come in to support the flag and keep it active.
Supported it. I saw this project being advertise on pump and dump groups. It seems the clone industry of new presale events are very hot.

This is not working on the real world of uniswap. Some traders dont mind if the whitepaper are copied, website created early, as long as they can gain profits on trading on these shitcoin thats all that matter to these guys.

The advice now should be any one thinking of Investing in any DeFi related project should just abstain from joining any with finance at the end of the project name. There's a 99.9% possiblity of them been a scam.
People should learn to check whether these yield farming has been audited. There are projects ending with finance proves legality and pass some audits. By knowing the fact on this and method they are still safe from scam.

Supported flag and took it a step further by tagging the account representative on forum, I was just commenting on a thread above yours few minutes ago regarding any new project ending with Finance been a scam, this just backed my statement. We're seeing what happened with the ICO crazy all over again. Back then any website with an attractive design and name get the gullible Investors fund without any stress.

The advice now should be any one thinking of Investing in any DeFi related project should just abstain from joining any with finance at the end of the project name. There's a 99.9% possiblity of them been a scam. Do your personal research and only invest what you'll be comfortable loosing.

With some many scammers running these scams by just cloning everything, I dont think it will be long before people tend to think of DeFi to be a complete scam. It will be a biased opinion just like what altcoin projects have ended up being. As long as people know when the suspect a scam they should be safe.
