How scammers harm the reputation of your crypto project and defraud your community

Scammers have various tactics, but we will focus on the most common one that directly affects the founders of legitimate crypto startups.

You have a real crypto startup, a community, and you are actively working to attract new users. As soon as your project gains some traction (the community talks about you, you buy advertising), scammers enter the game if you have not implemented the measures described below. Believe me, if your project has not been affected yet, it will be soon.

So, what do scammers do? They create a token with the same name, symbol, and link to your project in the contract code, so that the links appear on websites that track the appearance of new tokens: DexTools, ListingSpy, and others.

Users (gem hunters) see the new token, click on the links to your website or social media, see that the project is good, with an active community, and buy the scam token! Yes, buyers should check the contract before purchasing tokens, but as we know, not everyone does this.

Advanced scammers can create a Telegram account impersonating your admins and post a link in your chat about the sale of your token. This works if you do not moderate your chats well. They often list their scam token with your name on the exchange together with you or slightly earlier. This is how less attentive investors fall into the trap. Sometimes they completely copy your website, place links to your social networks, and indicate the scam token on the website. There are many more details, but not now.

As a result, part of your community and potential investors may buy scam tokens, thinking they are purchasing your project’s token. When they discover the deception, they may start attacking your project and demanding a refund, publishing negative articles and reviews. Yes, you can say that it is not your token and that buyers should always check tokens before buying, but this will not save your reputation.

Sometimes scammers list their scam token with your name on the exchange together with you or slightly earlier. This way, less attentive investors fall for the scam.
