COIN DEVS: BEWARE OF SCAMMERS CLAIMING TO BE FROM POLONIEX. I (busoni/Tristan) am the only one who has the authority to list coins. Furthermore, I will never approach you and ask for a bounty.
Found myself a funny email in my inbox today. I wanted to notify you and other developers of this.
Name: Tristan D'Agosta
Email: poloneixexchange@gmail.com
Subject: Addition Of MAR

Someone tried to do the same scam to the BipCoin dev team. It's word for word identical. Poloniex doesn't use a gmail address, but the scammer does.

It claims to be from Tristan D agosta
at email
poloneixexchange@gmail.comIP
86.45.252.233
is in Ireland, Laois, Portlaoise
is not a proxy. Is sent from a mobile network.
While I'm sure the person at the other end of this email would take my Bitcoin if I responded enthusiastically, I'm sure it would
not result in my coin BipCoin being listed on Poloniex Exchange.
First, that's not Tristan's email. I know Tristan's email address because a friend whose coin is on Poloniex gave me an introduction. Tristan's email is not a gmail address.
Second, I doubt anyone at Poloniex Exchange has a gmail address that misspells "Poloniex"! lol.
Just wanted to give a heads up for any other altcoin devs who recieve the same scammy message. It's not Poloniex. And these people will probably come up with a different email now that spells Poloniex right, like
PoloniexTristan@gmail.com or something like that.
Poloniex company email addresses are not gmail addresses. MWD
