The project 'Blacksales' (blacksales.co) appears to be a defunct B2B sales automation platform. External verification reveals the company was removed from Trustfolio due to 'cessation of activity.' The submission contains highly questionable and hallucinatory claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product,' audience 'everyone') which severely degrade credibility. While the core concept of sales automation addresses a real problem, the lack of operational status and deceptive submission data result in a near-zero score.
