Hi,

I am Busoni admin of Polo Exchange,

we have been reading through your thread and are wondering if you would like to be added to our exchange. We feel we could bring a lot of attention to your project from our customer base.

We currently offer:

Coin addition: 1 BTC
Holding of ICO: 2 BTC

Please let us know how you feel of our offer,

Regards
Tristan D’iagosta

It claims to be from  Tristan D’ agosta
at email
poloneixexchange@gmail.com

IP
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.

Sounds like they wanna make some money when people don't do their research properly. Polo wouldn't offer this also, it'd cost more.
