Anyone can fork LiteCoin, like the crazy number of useless forks from BTC. Most of them are shitcoins, and some are scams too.

Only a tiny few of those forks ended up successful with a real team and support (from miners) behind it; e.g. Bitcoin Cash -- however many, including me, isn't 100% convinced that their solution is the way to go in the long term.

Please help spread this news to the community elsewhere if possible btw. Post on Facebook and Twitter, etc. so that people will be careful with giving out their private keys. The more people getting scammed, the more people there are to lose confidence on cryptos and start FUDing it aggressively instead.
