Title: Spectre Security Coin is a scam and impersonating an established project Post by: mandica on October 22, 2018, 06:13:00 AM A new thread and coin appeared: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5054438.0
They call themselves Spectre Security Coin, SPECTRE for short and their Twitter name is 'SpectreCoin' and they want to use the ticker 'XSPC'. They are simply trying to impersonate an established project, Spectrecoin (https://spectreproject.io). Spectrecoin has been using SPECTRE for short since 2016 and are using the ticker 'XSPEC'. It is clear that when they want to use the ticker 'XSPC' and the same name as the real Spectrecoin / SPECTRE to sell masternodes it must be considered a possible scam. Why would a serious project use near identical identifiers as a long established project? To cause confusion in order to sell their masternodes. Compare and make up your own mind: The REAL established project: Name: Spectrecoin (short SPECTRE) Ticker: XSPEC Purpose: Serious privacy coin with long term active development GitHub: https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre The impersonating project: Name: SpectreSecurityCoin (short SPECTRE), Twitter name: SpectreCoin (only difference a capital C) Ticker: XSPC Purpose: selling masternodes GitHub: 404 error IMO https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5054438.0 - SpectreSecurityCoin is a scam attempt and a clear rip-off of name and ticker to cause confusion.

There are too many similarities for that to be random. I agree that it has to be a scam.
Title: Re: Spectre Security Coin is a scam and impersonating an established project Post by: Blobboy on October 22, 2018, 02:59:10 PM names are completely different. i fail to see how this is a scam. i have left the user who left this a negative trust rating for false accusations on the premise that they dont want another coin with a "similar" name.
both coins have different names and different tickers. this kind of accusation is unprofessional. and if this causes the coin to be a scam. then bitcoin cash and bitcoin diamond should rename their coins. cause of "similarity's" in the name and tickers. the user instead of having a civil conversation. immediately calls them out to be a scam when they have no affiliation with each other. i can see that trust rating going down hill from the way mandica has unprofessionally called out a project a scam. projects sell masternodes to get listed on exchanges. thats not the coins purpose but it is your opinion on what the coins purpose is instead. on their whitepaper but for XSPC Code: What is the Spectre Security Coin Platform?

Totally legit project and totally different. Just take time to read and understand before doing such accusations. Deal with it. You don't own the word "Spectre" at all. You're just making yourself and your project more like unprofessional by doing such false accusations.
