❌$ARGON RUG PULL❌ A few days back I was asked by $EROS dev to help with creating a marketing team. I suggested some names to him but he said he will think about it. He asked me to create a TG group, which I did and made him an admin. He added a few other people and I asked him why he didn't create the group himself. He gave some excuses about being ban and I let it go. As we all know 1.1 $Eros was given out as airdrop and it went on to an ATH of $87. I sold mine when it was $24 so I reduced my engagement in the marketing group. He reached out to me to help them with an article for a presale and we even planned a "marketing stunt". So far the token is real, I'm ready to help in any way I can. He gave out 1.5 $EROS to the marketing team to appreciate our efforts. And asked us all to add to liquidity with $50 worth BCH (from our pocket). I did as instructed. However, after writing the article, I decided to add some details from their website and I noticed some grammatical errors and also most of the details on their site were plagiarized. I was having doubts whether to go ahead with publishing the article or not. I had two options. -Publish the article with a disclaimer -Refuse to do it and leave the team. I reached out to some people with vast knowledge in this and pointed out things I noticed. They all rally around to check and investigate @Carisdaneym was of huge help. Even with the inconvenience, they all checked the site and investigated. Various attempts to warn everyone in the group was turned down. In fact, the admin deleted messages and screenshots she sent to the group and ban her. I unpublished the article I wrote for them. Thankfully, it was only up for 10 minutes and had 5 views. I also disbanded the Telegram marketing group I created for them and blocked all ties with them. We warned members of their TG group but people were bent on buying the presale and ignored all warnings. Messages were deleted and some people were kicked from the group. This morning, the admin locked the group, deleted his account and carted away the BCH raised from the Pre-sale Long and short of this story - SmartBCH is still new and things like these are bound to happen. This isn't the first, neither will it be the last. Kindly do a proper investigation before committing your money to any project. -Ask questions from people who are well vast in the field. -Once you see a red flag, take it to the group. Let everyone know and see how they defend themselves. -If the admin deletes messages asking important questions, beware. -Ask for the use case of the token and see if it's reasonable. -What plan do they have? How many tokens are allocated to pre-sale and liquidity? -Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. -They are connected, a member of the marketing team was involved with MCASH, EUP and LEAP. When I challenged him he said he was also a victim. He is only there as a designer. The benswap team are already working on how to curtail this and prevent further rug pulls, especially on IBO. Hopefully, things will be put in place soon. But on our part. Let's be vigilant and watchful. Thank you.

It's their fault that they didn't mind the red flags 🤧
