I've seen few projects that decieved investors into thinking that they will list on binance or okex and Kucoin without these exchanges confirmation, my advice is once a project claim they are going top exchange do not hesitate to go to the top exchange social media, if the listing is legit the exchange will atleast say something about it. Wise up
We must really be wise before believing on such claims from projects because it is obviously some of their tactics or strategies to caught the attention and interest of the potential investors and bounty hunters to get into their project. Do not be easily deceive on those words. Better to see it right after the project promotion because proof will speak for itself and then that will be the time you must believe on its authenticity. Claims are just plain words to attract people. It is still the best to see it right before your eyes that they are already listed on a top exchange before you believe on such claims. If project developers are getting wise on announcing that their token will be listed on a top exchange, then be a wiser individual not to easily believe on such claims until such it was already proven true.
Even if participation in some project does not involve paying them - its still highly important not to give them personal data so they can't sell it afterwards.
I actually think that those scammers who pretend to be quality project are slowly killing crypto industry because one day every investor will be too anxious to put his money into another scam high risk project and our industry will stuck on the same spot.
