Hopefully this is just a false alarm....

Recently the Electroneum was backed by prominent UK sport celebrity. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/12/harry-redknapp-cryptocurrency-electroneum-twitter

He removed the tweet recently...

Also somewhere I read that the coin was supposed to be listed on Cryptopia which was denied by the admins themselves today. https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/forum/Thread/2584
