You are right, I found below in LOCUS web site.
Hello, this is Locus Chain Foundation.
Recently, our local agent and employees have confirmed that there are con artists that state they are selling the mining priority by falsely representing Locus Chain’s agent in the Middle Eastern and Eastern European regions.
Locus Chain has not yet proceeded with any agreement related to mining.
In relation, if there are any organizations or people that claim they are collaborating with Locus Chain and its business, please check the registered partners and advisors on Locus Chain’s official website
