His site says "Anonymously send and receive SMS messages with bitcoin. Built during Hacker Paradise South America 2017"

Possibly just a hackathon project that was never meant to have full functionality

I have access to Hacker Paradise Slack group, let me try to reach him there.

Edit: contacted both him (though he was offline) and the group asking for more info

I'm friends with a founder of Hacker Paradise. I sent him a link to this post so hopefully he can look into it asap.

It seems like this was a project someone worked on during one of our trips in the past. While he's not scamming people, it does look like he copied the text from smsprivacy.org.

We don't have any connection to the project, but we've reached out asking him to change / delete the copied text. Hopefully this gets cleared up shortly.
