It is important to look at smart contract address and to see if it is correct one, and, of course, to read yellow messages with important info.

I wish I knew this before, I could save me some of my BTC. It was DarkStar_ who spotted it. He sent the token twice but they were failing. I thought may be the GAS price was low so, I suggested him to higher the GAS price. He almost was going to try it again but before that he realized that the contract address was actually wrong. Shit happens.

I hope you won't do the same mistake again.

I hope the same. To me I will always prefer the exchange from now if it is a token which is unknown to me. Fuck research (LOL)

...are issuing fake tokens, giving them symbols of true tokens and after that they simple send tokens to etherdelta. Whoever buys them will buy fake worthless tokens.

So basically they are confusing people with same name. I noticed this interesting thing after gone through the scammer's token address....

X is was the original token later it became fake
Y is now the new token.

Transaction number 2 is actually when the old ones were replaced.
Transaction number 3 when that scammer sent to new real token to somewhere, may be in an exchange.
Transaction number 5 was the stub on my back
I am not sure about the transaction number 4. Hope he did not do the same to someone else.

My point is... have a look on the token name and symbol - anyone can get fooled if they do not have prior knowledge.

I am so sorry for what happened to you,man. I had witnessed a somewhat same situation that happened to aTriz. He was also scammed by someone who gave fake tokens as collateral. Refer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3038096.msg31956800#msg31956800

Yes, I learnt it from DarkStar_ as I said I wish I would had the prior knowledge. By the way, it's ok, I will recover. Just wish that it will never happen again to me and to anyone else.

Don't do that. And don't accept alts. The top 100 ones in coinmarketcap should do. And double check always, like marlboroza said.

I am actually not sure. I guess I will only deal with the tokens or coin that are known to me and will do an extensive research.

There should be a new sticky in the lending section about these fake collateral, just so that others aren't scammed in a similar manner.

I think the same. May be mod/admin/staff can use this topic and aTriz one as reference.
