After deleting their first Ann, they made new one. I don't know why they thought that they can get away with it unnoticed

Haha yeah, their thread appeared while I was drinking my coffee and browsing altcoin section.
It surprised me that they obviously don't think that it's a big deal to copy someone else's work as there are team pictures on their website from some kind of conference or whatever that is. Most similar scams hide their identity.
Good point about the flag, moved to the first post.

After seeing this thread, the scamer immediately edits the ANN thread to "DELETE"
This is what the scamer continues to do and doesn't think creatively about their project's white paper.

Yep, by deleting their Announcement thread and not even answering they just confirmed what we already know-they are scammers.

A good catch indeed! Their website is still up but loading page is very slow. And guess what, they are aiming to be worth $1 upon listing? I hope people will not buy this crap.
Filipinos this time???
Remember potential scam site = https://wonproject.co/

Just to note that this is just one small part, there is a lot more proof to be found in Remiit whitepaper, but this is enough to see what is going on here.
