What happened: Fake Coin98

Despite the identical name of the coin Coin98, the launchpad of which is currently being held on Binance, this coin has nothing in common with the original coin. The main purpose of this fraud is to sell a fake coin within the framework of the launchpad conducted on the binance. To achieve this goal, scammers use the free distribution of a fake Coin98 coin, the contract for which differs from the original coin, and sell this coin at a price that is ten times lower than the public sale price.

I knew it someone will be copying this project. The coin98 will be listed on Binance launchpad and for sure this is enticing to scammers and will be used to lure some newbies into investing. Thanks for sharing this mate will definitely suppory your flag.

Anything to be available for scamming will be used by them. Does the fake coin98 have liquidity somewhere and being traded?

So obviously they just literally make a copy of a token smart contract of the coin98. These scammers arent good if they want to have a realistic approach then they should have put some liquidity so it would become looks so real but nah! They literally used it only for scamming newbies.

So airdroppers thought they already hit a jackpot but just a mere token created for fun and this scheme.

This trick is almost the same as the previous finding of $crypto$ KLAY even I saw the website is almost similar to the sale they provide so obviously this is an attempt by scamers to continue to drain investors' money for those who don't really know about Coin98, I think this is still under control with the same group because of the script is still the same and no changes.

I really appreciate finding this faster and I support the red tag.

Yes, it looks like this scam was created by the same scammers, only they are getting more brazen every time. Last time they didn't post their scam on our forum, and in the case of Coin98, they brought this shit to the forum in the form of ANN, Bounty and Airdrop, hoping that they will be able to better promote their scam here.

Sounds like there has always been an impersonator website of every single project which released on Binance launchpad in order to deceive noob investors who were carried away by the hype, earlier was Klaytn then as for now coin98. I bet those individuals also would try to impersonate the next project that releases on Binance launchpad
