I would like to predict that the ICO for AIOS (All in One Social) Network is a scam.
Now I am a little new to the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) market, but I read an article once
https://steemit.com/scam/@moonjelly/how-to-create-an-ico-scam-in-5-simple-steps
about how to do a scam and so I thought I should take a look.
Here is the company’s website.
https://aios.life/
Here is a screenshot of the "people" involved.
Now to me it seemed like they were a little too perfect. Each photo was a great picture. The people are so handsome!
So lets starting picking on John Smith first.
First do you think we could come up with a name that is more generic or harder to research?
No.
Then “John Smith has almost travelled the whole earth and have worked for many international companies as an advisor.”
First off… he “have” bad grammer. It should read he “has” worked for many… but I doubt he is real.
Those native speakers of English might notice other "imperfections" in the above sentence, but we don’t want to give them all away.
Next let’s pick on Martin Ortiz –Marketing Head.
He sure is a handsome fellow.
If I was a Muslim girl, I am sure he would give me the buzz.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with Muslim dating sites, but if our head of marketing is on a Muslim dating site you might want to look for a new ICO! To me this is pretty obvious proof that he is stock photography.
He is likely taken from this picture.
In fact, you can find his photo all over the web on numerous unfinished websites.
Which you can see
https://girldoesdigital.com/person-module/
or here
http://www.sagehairandbeauty.com.au/dev/person-module/
As I Googled each name I did not find the expected Linkedin profiles. There are red flags everywhere. Now I may be going out on a limb here, but suffice it to say. I call this ICO a scam!
To Help the search engines lets be clear!
Is AIOS a good investment?
AIOS is a SCAM!
AIOS (All in One Social) is a FRAUD!
DO NOT INVEST IN AIOS!
LIES, FRAUD, CON MEN, EMBEZZLEMENT, FLY BY NIGHT, GONE TOMORROW –with your money.
People if I am wrong go ahead and post a few video clips of all of the above people, working together in the office. (A single photo is too easy to fake.) And start answering some questions… I would like a video clip of each of these people saying. “I am so and so and I work for this company. Give us a short description about yourself with a couple of verifiable facts, -where you live, where you go to church- and then tell us about your vision for the company going forward.” One or two of these people may in fact be real, but if they are all real. If this is a real company, it would take like five minutes to shoot some video and prove it to the world. I believe most or all are simple taken from stock photography.
Now this is a test of Steemit.
I expected to get crucified. People don’t like being exposed as a scam right before the ICO. And getting into a flagging war could be very bad on reputation. I cannot fight this alone. Adsactly -the poster- has a reputation of 65. I have a reputation of 47. I am going to get crucified in a flagging war, except I am counting on you to cover my back. So please, especially if you have the reputation power go and flag this post.
and comment about it being a scam. If you have the ability to spread the word do so. Let’s fill the internet with the companies name and SCAM. FRAUD. I started with proof. I have included documentation. I have pointed you all in the right direction. Now I need your help. Let’s go show the scammers that when they take on a social media community, that their fraud will be exposed.
Steemit Community, lets make an example out of AIOS and make Steemit the fear of every scamming ICO out there.
So it is also interesting. If you look at the various accounts that are promoting this ICO. They also promote another ICO for Magos. In situations like these "guilt by association" is actually a good tool to use. Birds of a feather flock together. Several of the "people" posting about AIOS, also post about "magos." so what is happening is someone has created a bunch of accounts, then after several generic posts (about stuff like food) they promote the ICO. It is then liked by other accounts (also ran by the the same people). Some of these accounts promote AIOS, MAGOS, AIOS, MAGOS. The "odds" that all these ICO just happen to be like by the same people is low. Each of these posts give multiple likes upvotes and comments to each other. Quite a smart scheme really; but with the Steemit tools one can see what the accounts are doing.

Unfortunately I am playing hooky from work atm, so cannot follow up on this presently.
Absent further information I am unable to judge what is actually the situation, so I am resteeming for more exposure to folks that might, but currently am unwilling to commit support to either faction, due to my ignorance.
I'd also suggest making @sherlockholmes aware of this issue, as I have no doubt that he would be willing to undertake investigation of the matter, and may be able to respond in a timely manner if this is a time sensitive issue.

Their website sure does look fishy to me.
Especially the "Team."
It doesn't give any specifics of their resumes.
And the Hispanic fellow (Ortiz) having his face on a Muslim social website seems odd.
There are so many ICO scams out there.
Thank you VERY MUCH for trying to save people from throwing away their hard earned money.

I took my time to investigate this before stepping into something that I didn't understand.
It seems to me that all that the original investigator/poster wants to do is save people from having their money stolen in a scam AND not allow Steemit to be used to promote this type of scam.

I did some googling of Eden Fernandez. First of all, Eden is more commonly a girl's given name. Secondly, Harvard's CS degrees are officially:
The descriptions for each team member are very vague. There's no specifics about their education, association with previous projects, or other pertinent information.
Ye Seul is the name of a popular South Korean idol, FWIW.
I suspect her photo and the others (aside from the one you found) are ripped from social media pages.
By the way, the AIOS website was built using a free app, Mobirise. The MAGOS site uses WordPress.

I feel like people who fall for stuff like this kind of deserve it but....it hurts crypto in general so I am glad somebody is pointing it out. Some inventions seem like "scams" but get so involved that it is hard to tell. What do you think of "Bitclub"? Have you looked at it?

Thank you for raising the alarm. I am not taking sides on this at all because I don't know anything. If you're wrong and they are legit, then careful investigation will reveal it. If you are right, then you've done all of us a great service. Either way, it gives us a reason to do our due diligence before investing. Thank you for your courage. Good work.

It is sort of fun looking back at this post 5 months later. A little bit of light will brighten a whole room. This post and me posting links on about 45 plus other seemit posts, including the support I got from the steemit community, ended this Scam ICO. I am sure promoters went on to a new project, but this one failed. It was quite an adventure and probably my post of the year.

see this is the problem with you not having a known discord username anyone can easily make a user with the same, i saw some comments they said you made but couldn't find your profile in any of the servers so i believe claims to be false and comments to fabricated badly.
first they make it look like it is a call to you with you in chat with you writing in text then it shows text to text chat and words that are said have no context whatsoever accept to do a promote of adsactlys shitcoin all it shows is a user with the same name as you saying something with sexual reference to his mother with no initial dialogue doesn't make sense

I agree with @Isacoin. I did misintrepret one of his posts (He was asking for screenshots from @adsactly for proof of my rude interaction. I thought he was asking for the screenshots of my proof which were hidden due to flagging.) @Isacoin clarified and edited his post. @Adsactly is sticking to his false claims I was rude in a private interaction. While @Adsactly in one place admitted AOIS is a scam, he has not updated his promotional posts to indicate this as he was clearly told to do.
