Additional Notes:

I can't be sure if they're a scam project or not due to the lack of concrete evidences, hence I am open for anyone tried to help with this matter, but so far, several things are pointing toward that directions, as such:

1. No team details
Initially, I asked for team details, I think it is quite reasonable that a project that runs on remittance would have the people behind the team be known to anyone investing on the project or remitting their money through the platform, but they asked me to go through discord to "meet some members" which --as I've shown and told them on the original thread-- is not exactly convincing

and their final answer for this matter before I pursued other matter [point 3] that's more interesting was, the snipped quote came from the same post for this quoted post below and snipped quote on point 3

Hi holydarkness,

[...]

you can ask the administrator in the Discord about my reliability with investor communication and updates.

All real investors get my personal contact information and a KYD before.
Discord now has 47 Members!

2. Discord members
Now, this is fantastic. They've been around since 17 October 2022, on 2 January 2023, they managed to get 47 members, then 300+, then 500+ in two days. As I am pretty much sure discord "followers" can be bought just like telegram, I peeked into this extremely drastic increases and found a glimpse which I believe is not too far away from my suspicion --that those members are inorganic--

3. Going IPO
They claimed that their investor will have portion of the company in Canada, as in IPO in real life,

Hi holydarkness,

Yes, owning the parent corporation of Advantage. This is like no other token/coin. The wallet will soon be complete and we will then look for the next round of investors.

There are only a few spots available [...]

Which raised my eyebrows. I'll openly admit that I am not well versed on IPO procedure in Canada --anyone from Canada and familiar with this issue, a contribution and insight will be much appreciated-- but I am quite versed on the stock and bond in my own country and I know that the buyer would have an account in brokerage or bank account, basically a third and appointed party that intermediates the company and the buyer. We can't just go to a company, arranged a meeting with their staff, be it higher or lower seats, and buy the shares ourselves. Likewise, a company can't just decide to go public one day and sell their shares freely to anyone. They have to get through thorough process like registering their company for public offering, waiting for some grace period, being audited, doxxed, amongst other things. A quick searches told me that Canada basically applied the same rule, which they initially deflect by saying,

Hi holydarkness,

You make a lot of assumptions. Already some % of the corporation has been sold and the legal papers reviewed and signed by real lawyers on the investor's end and our end.

And it isn't clear where you are getting a lot of your information from. You absolutely do not need to be a part of a brokerage to invest in a corporation in Canada.

and after I pointed out the sources on this post, their statement changed into

Hi holydarkness,

Yes that is quite incorrect, but allow the truth to come out.

Canada has absolutely no restrictions to buy stocks but you need a bank to buy them and if its already listed you can buy yourself using a simple brokerage account which takes 2 minutes to set up.

Short story: You can easily invest in Corporations and buy stocks in Canada without restriction.

If you want to be a part of Advantage by investing we would love to have you.

300+ Discord Members.

Upon pushed further about the matter, how exactly would they suggest investors to buy the ownership and do they have all the required documents for going public, they went into the defensive-offensive mode of "you're rude, we don't want to answer your question anymore", much like the telltale of scam projects we have in the past. Well, I am "snide", but that's simply because they kept circling around the question that's very easy to answer if they're truly legit.

Hi holydarkness,

Clearly there is no point talking to you further. You've gone from rude and ignorant to downright snide. Please excuse yourself from Advantage.

As stated on the earlier part of this post, I am not sure if this is a clear case of scam, the three points I raised above might means nothing and I am simply too paranoid, but as my... eccentricity had provoked them enough and made them refused to talk further to me, and I can't clarify the whole IPO permit and team details and other aspects for legit project, I hope this thread can provide a better outcome as well as inviting other pairs of eyes and insights.
