Hello everyone,

I'm making this post to make everyone aware of an alt-coin that goes by TedChain as it is a scam, Several days ago it came to my attention that my Bitcointalk account had been compromised.
To my surprise the person who took-over the account is claiming to have a 'gaming platform' coin that goes by 'TedChain', I immediately reached out to the 'dev's and posted on their thread but was ignored.

I proceed by contacting them via Telegram to which they admitted that the account isn't theirs and claimed it was simply a "misunderstanding" but offered to buy it from me,
Seeing as they had decent community feedback i offered to sell it to them for $100 USD. For a company who claims to have a 'revolutionary' coin, They wasted my time and are now claiming to not have any money and that they're waiting to make money off the crowd-sale scheduled for July 17th.

I can't understand how you claim to have your account "hacked" and then offer to sell it to the "hacker".

Surely you can see the issue with that.

You are willing to sell your account for a $100 to someone you are accusing of being a scammer.

Rather simple if you read the texts provided in the thread, The person who took-over the account claimed they'd purchased it off someone else and offered to buy it off the correct owner in exchange for me not going through with the recovery process to which i agreed. It wasnt until further research that it was determined that this person and the "hacker" were one in the same.

At which point i initiated the recovery process which has been a total waste of time.
