That was already old, but we cannot deny that those people are insane and crazy, that hacking was there happiness for their life, but it was sadly those people who are victim of this scam.
Everyone thinks like you, this world will not be stealing without fraud, so the society is so we should be more careful in the storage and trading. We should not ignore these shortcomings but see them as lessons to avoid.

I would not have spotted the difference. I have to be more careful now in buying tokens on decentralized exchanges such as forkdelta and etherdelta where listing new tokens is really easy. Thank you the helpful info.

Thanks for sharing!
It is very disheartening that some people will devote their time in doing bad to their fellow humans.
Why can't scammers devote their time in doing legitimate things that will fetch them money, other  than scamming other people.
Humans are too difficult to handle though.

Because there is really a Multiversum on IDEX.

But if you analyze very carefully the MTV on forkdelta doesn't match in IDEX because of 2 factors.

1.) they have a different smart contract. on forkdelta (0xcd53c76b8a350b7f9815d6ddc4617bf37c7288ff) , on IDEX (0x07a7ed332c595b53a317afcee50733af571475e7)
2.) The have Different token extension. Forkdelta (MTV) , IDEX (eMTV)

I hope that this short analysis will help others to avoid this kind of scam.
make your analysis first before trying to buy or invest on a token.
Yeah that's a good catch from those scammers. My practice is to use only the link given from their telegram channel and if they will not recognize the listing of their token from those exchanges then I will not buy or invest on that exchanges as we can't be sure of that token. Anyway, we should always vigilant on those info as scammers are everywhere they are pretending to be a legit.
In my opinion, since different tokens are created exponentially, and the abbreviations of these coins become all look alike. We will have to be especially vigilant when buying any tokens on the exchange.

You always should be careful and check the token contact addresses. If you take part in such garbage, you would lose a lot of money. Always check everything and never trust people that are offering arbitrage or pumping opportunities.

The great declaration, as well as thanks with this information, I am certain presently there should have already been numerous sufferers suffering from ripoffs such as this, ideally with this particular line it can benefit to create individuals conscious of not really slipping to the exact same rip-off.

Pretty interesting, but still I don't really understand this strategy. So what's the scammer's profit in this case? Does this fake MTV token belong to him or what? I know it's pretty easy and cheap to create your own ERC-20 token, and you don't have to go through any verification to get listed on Deltas, so it seems to be true...

Hi everyone,
I just want to tell everyone about the new scheme of the scammer to scam. especially those people who really doesn't understand much about centralized and decentralized trading platform.

I have read several people posting about arbitrage coins like for example MTV arbitrage
Please check this link as an example:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mtv-arbitrage-chance-5050943

upon checking what they the link that they are using, you can see that they are pointing you to Forkdelta.
when you check the trading on https://forkdelta.app/#!/trade/0xcd53c76b8a350b7f9815d6ddc4617bf37c7288ff-ETH you will see a token named MTV  (Multiversum). The scammer wanted you to think that this token is the same token found on IDEX.
Because there is really a Multiversum on IDEX.

But if you analyze very carefully the MTV on forkdelta doesn't match in IDEX because of 2 factors.

1.) they have a different smart contract. on forkdelta (0xcd53c76b8a350b7f9815d6ddc4617bf37c7288ff) , on IDEX (0x07a7ed332c595b53a317afcee50733af571475e7)
2.) The have Different token extension. Forkdelta (MTV) , IDEX (eMTV)

I hope that this short analysis will help others to avoid this kind of scam.
make your analysis first before trying to buy or invest on a token.

I see the new strategy as a very cheap one and as an experienced person in crypto world it very easy to know that its a scam. Those guys are amateur scammers and I don't see any reasonable person to fall for this except the greedy ones.

Wow... Much thanks for this, can you imagine the extent hackers and Scammers go to just to have what doesn't belong to them,
Most times I wonder why don't they spend same amount of time doing those shit for the right thing. Think of people who have victim of such act.

I was almost become a victim of that type of scheme and token used was Telcoin. The OP will give you a link that will make you convince that Telcoin is selling lower half a price at forkdelta compared to Kucoin. I actually was eager to trade that time but I did my own research. I went to coinmarketcap and visited the website of forkdelta from there then search for telcoin. I was surprised that the price showing on the link the OP given and price from the legit website of forkdelta showing different prices. We better always check the legit website usingcoinmarketcap and also the contract address of the token before attempting to trade.
This thread got my attention and your comment about Telcoin in Forkdelta. I was planning to have an arbitrage to buy Telcoin in Forkdelta and sell it in Kucoin. But now I will not going to buy and I will be more careful and make sure to check the smart contract first especially when trading Dex exchanges like Forkdelta/EtherDelta. Thanks mate, I'm glad I saw your comment.

Arbitrage is not as easy as it is front by those creating service out of it!  It require serious capital to arbitrage successfully between exchange and trading platform sometime could spring a surprise in which you may not have control over!

Thanks for spotting this one. You saved a lot of people from investing and bounty hunters from spending their tine and money just to be scammed. I am site that a lot of scam ICO's will do thos especially when this strategy works for them. I just hope that the scam ICO's will come to end as they are ruining the reputation of crypto.
