I am selling some coins in the alt section, and i have recieved a message from this guy:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=711383



After we talked on telegram where he refused to escrow and insisted he will go first, i accepted.



While i did recieve some sort of EDO coin



It wasnt the real Eidoo coins, as shown in etherdelta



After i showed him the etherdelta print...he split!


He has made a thread about selling this coins too:

I'm real sorry for this situation, but

U must change the tread name because i have think u blame eidoo, and is not good.

Yes, very misleading subject.

I read about a similar case, where another user (prospectorsPR, i think his username was) tried to take out loans in the lending section using fake ethereum tokens as collateral. As far as i understand, he would either create, or use an existing token with an identical ticker name as the coin he impersonates.

In the lending case it was targetcoin (TGT),the scammer then sends his fake TGT coins to the victims real TGT address, and if not paying attention to the details, or waiting till 100% sure you have the coins in your address and that you can sell them in the proper market also, which you should always do, then you might fulfill ur end of the bargain seeing how much trust he put in you.

The same guy (prospectors) tried also with a fake Eidoo coin in another thread, I apologize for not bringing in links. Might edit this post with reference links if i stumble upon them again.

Be careful when dealing with Ethereum tokens is what i've summarized.

I would not be surprised if this is either a copy-cat or the same guy attempting to scam more.

exact
title must be changed because misleading people

eidoo project is one
the scammer is another one not correlated to project
