According to
Coinmarketcap ranking criteria, for being eligible to be listed among the top 200, the coin/token must fulfill some requirements.
Most probably, the token you are talking about doesn't meet the requirements and that's why it's not displayed in the first two pages.
Probably or most likely this had been the reason on where a certain project hadnt able to meet up the requirements thats why it isnt displayed on 1-2 pages and if you are really that kind of investor whom do check out on
the coins that you are possesing into and find out that it isnt on the right ranking then you would really be basically having these kind of reactions which isnt really surprising.
I dont see to be a scam but rather misleading on some case but high likely the link given above is the culprit or reason.
