Both are good coins with great future ahead..
I dont know why OP claiming them as a scam
I think op say this scam because OP didn't have ETH or ETC . or OP have bad dreams with ethereum

I think another reason is that some people invest money and then when they lose money on it, or make a bad prediction and sell to soon, they become bitter against the coin despite the fact it was their own actions that caused them to lose money on the first place.
