Yep, that's against bitcointalk rules--but putting the scam accusation aside for just a minute, OP registered in August 2020 and is now a full-blown scam buster familiar with a rule like the one above, which I suspect most members who've been here 2 months wouldn't have a clue about.  The cynical little devil that lives inside my coconut has to ask whether OP is creating threads like this with the hopes of earning merit.  There's no doubt in my mind that he's a true newbie.

Back to the topic of the thread:  yes, this does look scammy as hell.  And it's a pretty well-known fact that sites like Coingecko and CMC don't do a great job vetting coins/projects/whatever.  I don't see how they could, unless they had a full-time staff whose task it was to analyze the facts and data that they receive on a daily basis and check everything for veracity.  That doesn't happen, and it's not going to, so as with everything else in crypto you have to do your own due diligence before sinking a single penny into anything.
