It claims to be from  Tristan D’ agosta
at email
[email protected]

IP
86.45.252.233
 is in  Ireland, Laois, Portlaoise
is not a proxy. Is sent from a mobile network.

While I'm sure the person at the other end of this email would take my Bitcoin if I responded enthusiastically, I'm sure it would not result in my coin BipCoin being listed on Poloniex Exchange.

First, that's not Tristan's email. I know Tristan's email address because a friend whose coin is on Poloniex gave me an introduction. Tristan's email is not a gmail address.

Second, I doubt anyone at Poloniex Exchange has a gmail address that misspells "Poloniex"!  lol.

Just wanted to give a heads up for any other altcoin devs who recieve the same scammy message. It's not Poloniex. And these people will probably come up with a different email now that spells Poloniex right, like
[email protected]
or something like that.


Poloniex company email addresses are not gmail addresses.

You are smart enough to be able to cut the scam and  many people are fall victim of this scam activity every day. I will advice that we should be careful especially this time that we are new in cryptocurrencies development. Many experts scammers are going to come out with many ways of scamming people and our thinking before fall victim is very important as it is easy to identified scam if you are not greedy.

This seems to be a trend for scammers. I also noticed a warning at Idax.mn. Be careful and do not believe any email or DM you receive from anyone.

Didn't expect to read up that there are still some coin developer or owners do able to receive such emails even nowadays knowing that these scamming attempts is already been known and wont really work
because basing on the current support system of poloniex it would be a surprising thing that they would have the time to scrape up coin owners and sent out some emails about listing.
In first place it is already shady as hell.

Sounds like they wanna make some money when people don't do their research properly. Polo wouldn't offer this also, it'd cost more.

Just pushing another agende is all. Taking advantage of the polo name to gain interest on whatever ot is they trying to achieve which could be anything who's to know. Never believe anything like this it is far too easy to do and why would it be done this way ? Clearly fake dont be fooled. They hoping to catch a few folks off guard with their antics.

Hi !

We just received the same e-mail. Hilarious, especially when you know we are already added on Polo, but if they didn't take the time to check that probably means that they are sending these e-mails to a great number of people/projects.
I'll send Polo an e-mail to let them known too.

Thank you for your service!
