Gasfiles is ripping off Adbank
An ICO which started on the 14th of Feb calling themselves GasFiles has completely ripped off the website, logo and whitepaper of Adbank.
Look at the unbeliveable similarities here - https://imgur.com/a/cbQh6
When this was mentioned in their own Telegram, they palmed it off, with some suggesting it could have been a pre-purchased template.- https://imgur.com/a/cofwO
When asked again, they have said it was outsourced, but this doesn't explain why even the whitepaper is almost identical in style.
Adbank have since tweeted claiming they had built the page 100% from scratch.- https://twitter.com/adbanknetwork/status/964907706808242176
The CEO's linkedin claims he was a freelance webdeveloper for 15 years, but cant make his own site for the ICO.Even his CTO's LinkedIn claims he's a web developer, specialising in custom built sites. - https://imgur.com/a/TCbQL
Suposedly raised 64 ETH so far but their ETH wallet says otherwise - https://etherscan.io/address/0xa54a1b3a6203cef877b759b64c6d205421e9f86c
They claim that the token will be listed on HitBTC and etherdelta... Easy enough for any token.
This probably isn't the first time this has happened, and we need to call out ICO's which are obviously scams or led by an incompetent team. These guys are the reason the space gets so much negative publicity. There aren't many regulations so as a community we should be vigilant in exposing those who are pure opportunists in a growing market
