Title: Scammers claiming to be Poloniex, but are not Post by: MWD64 on January 02, 2017, 05:32:41 AM A comment today on this page of my site:
https://bipcoin.org/?page_id=25 says: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hi, I am Busoni admin of Polo Exchange, we have been reading through your thread and are wondering if you would like to be added to our exchange. We feel we could bring a lot of attention to your project from our customer base. We currently offer: Coin addition: 1 BTC Holding of ICO: 2 BTC Please let us know how you feel of our offer, Regards Tristan D’iagosta -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It claims to be from Tristan D’ agosta at email poloneixexchange@gmail.com IP 86.45.252.233 is in Ireland, Laois, Portlaoise is not a proxy. Is sent from a mobile network. While I'm sure the person at the other end of this email would take my Bitcoin if I responded enthusiastically, I'm sure it would not result in my coin BipCoin being listed on Poloniex Exchange. First, that's not Tristan's email. I know Tristan's email address because a friend whose coin is on Poloniex gave me an introduction. Tristan's email is not a gmail address. Second, I doubt anyone at Poloniex Exchange has a gmail address that misspells "Poloniex"! lol. Just wanted to give a heads up for any other altcoin devs who recieve the same scammy message. It's not Poloniex. And these people will probably come up with a different email now that spells Poloniex right, like PoloniexTristan@gmail.com or something like that. Poloniex company email addresses are not gmail addresses.

If you pay me 1 BTC I can get you onto Mt. Gox! Please respond at mtgocksclayton@aol.com But you must hurry, I am moonlighting as the Minister of Finance for Nigeria, and the rebels are closing in on the capital, I must find a generous person to help me secure the treasury's balance outside of the country! Title: Re: Scammers claiming to be Poloniex, but are not Post by: MWD64 on January 02, 2017, 08:24:35 AM Nice info! Thanks Yup. I could totally see someone anxious to get listed there falling for that. Wanted to make sure people were aware of it. If it happens to anyone else, please post here. Though I figure they're likely to switch it up because they probably follow this site and might see this post. I'm also curious if anyone gets similar but different scam attempts as web comment posts or emails. And it's good to post them to help others avoid them. I look at altcoins, especially CryptoNote coins, as something where it's go to be in cooperation rather than cutthroat competition. Title: Re: Scammers claiming to be Poloniex, but are not Post by: SHAWN-MIDWAYS on January 02, 2017, 09:27:18 AM Why not contact Poloniex to alert them of the scam that's brewing under their name so that the alert any potential victims from falling for this cheap scam! Better late than never. ;)

We just received the same e-mail. Hilarious, especially when you know we are already added on Polo, but if they didn't take the time to check that probably means that they are sending these e-mails to a great number of people/projects. I'll send Polo an e-mail to let them known too. Title: Re: Scammers claiming to be Poloniex, but are not Post by: MWD64 on January 02, 2017, 02:09:22 PM Hi ! We just received the same e-mail.

Polo wouldn't offer this also, it'd cost more.

because basing on the current support system of poloniex it would be a surprising thing that they would have the time to scrape up coin owners and sent out some emails about listing. In first place it is already shady as hell.
