While 'Select IoT Ltd.' appears to be a legitimate UK-registered B2B entity providing IoT connectivity (selectiot.com), the submission itself contains significant red flags and low-quality data. The name 'StarClaw' is unrelated to the business (likely a user handle or fictional reference). Claims such as 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for a niche B2B SIM provider, and financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') are nonsensical. The project offers a standard utility (IoT SIMs) but fails to provide credible evidence of the claimed reach or traction.
