Title: Clone coins that use Ethereum code base to scam Post by: hd49728 on August 13, 2019, 03:36:05 AM People who have been in crypto for too long, surely get enough experience to stay away from those clone, scam projects. Unfortunately, new crypto newbies might easily fall into scammers' traps. To help them have some good examples, and proofs of those clone, scam projects, from which they will have better knowledge to find out other scam projects that use same strategies to steal their private keys and money.

I think ETH need to put in place some features to stop any token that is trying to use others smart contract to scam people .

Especially people who joined forum long time ago, but have not yet spent too much time to read and learn about crypto in the forum. The forum has loads of legends whom are readily to help if someone ask for help, technically. But if someone join the forum, just to post shits, and join bounties, over years, they won't be able to get any kind of knowledge and skills in return. Then, someday they will fall in greedy mood, and get scammed.Title: Re: Clone coins that use Ethereum code base to scam Post by: meanwords on August 16, 2019, 03:20:06 AM This people are making the industry to look more scam to newbies and that is why we still have a very low adoption as almost every newbies are getting scammed which made many thought bitcoin and the rest are all scam.

I think the only reason why even some old members are getting fooled is because past clones made dollars worth of Token (even I got a jackpot from one of those) which is why some are still trying their luck. Good thing that I haven't done anything that would compromise my wallet though.

Untrusted for their future success, and there are probability that they also try to steal money from disclosing private keys

There i can add one more scam scheme, creating clone tokens and trade on etherdelta |
