[Warning]: George Floyd token FLYD

[Yaunfitda]

Just a heads-up to everyone, it seems that scammers has already ride on the current George Floyd movement across America and has created this so called FLYD token.

We all know that this is a hot issue, but I have a feeling that those behind this so called project to help George's family is a scammer. So we should not be carried by our emotions here, and we need to think logically. We have seen this kind of stunt being pulled by cyber criminals with Covid-19.

I think you can move this on Altcoin Discussion as a such this kind was appropriate there or maybe on Scam Accusations board. People are really sick they will even make a memento kind of innocent being just to get scam anyone because they think this might get the hook off of the public.

Yet another crap token using hot issue name to gain more attention/traffic. After we facing so many scam covid-19 token, now these fraudster creating george flyod token.

I think we don't need to take more investigation regarding this tokens, because this is 1000% scam. I hope no one will got trapped by this shit tokens.

Whenever a coin immediately pops up after a certain event (virus.. death..), you should immediately know it probably is a scam. A legit project doesn't take a week to launch, it takes months or even years to build something that has a possible future.

Next up we probably have BLM Token on the waiting list..

These people shouldn't use the guy at peace for this trickery.

Someone will always fell for scam even though it looks very obvious.

Whether it's for this coin or something that's the same as a corporate name or named after an artist, it's a fact that there will still be people that will fall for this scam.

Instead of using the term "white paper" these scammers used, black paper.

It's having a token sale on Uniswap. Any idea how that exchange works? You just enter the contract address in there and you can now sell any eth-based tokens?

That "A portion of all proceeds will be given to the Floyd Family and the BLM movement" is BS to say the least. They used the name and yet they only plan to remit a portion? Laughable.

Stupid scammers will always use the hot issue to be promoted as a scam project, I'm not surprised to see this case that happens repeatedly, only they do looting in a different way.

Scammers are always waiting for hot news. Which is trending and people pay more attention to it. And using this opportunity to come up with their new scam idea, they use that idea to create fake tokens and fake giveaway websites. Such scammers are having a bad effect on crypto. Because most of their victims are newbies. As newbies begin their journey in crypto, many lose their money as a result of encountering such scammers.

Damn you scammers   , always waiting for hot information to take advantage of and this is not a happy story to use, have some God damn respect for the dead, first was Corona virus coins and now a dead innocent man? Scammers are unbelievable, this is a serious issue, I hope these guys get caught

Oh well, that's why they are called cyber-criminals because they are the kind of people that will always take advantage of every situation, no respect whatsoever, regardless it's a dead man or the pandemic.

The only weapon we have its to really educate ourselves and not to fall for this gimmick. Trust is something that we should really be careful, specially everything that involves crypto.

Blackpaper? This developer have some guts to even invent a terminology even for a traditional tech paper for a new project. Charity launched projects are all suspicious, but this one does not need a discussion whether to know if its a scam or not. I really cant imagine these pigs using the incident of floyd. This issue has escalated a bloody loothing already on US now its started also here in forum. But I doubt there are stupid people will play out with this project.

Already "launched" and failed!
There were quite a few of them but I think only one managed to actually create a token, you can find it on etherscan

Every time a tragedy pop-s up there is somebody with a coin that will help out, there were a few of them created during the Australia bush fires, before they switched to corona virus scams.

Blackpaper? This developer have some guts to even invent a terminology even for a traditional tech paper for a new project.

Yeah, we're entering a new era..
Soon you will be labeled a racist if you listen to "White Christmas"
