The Sole admin of a large Facebook steemit group posted this.
I did not even notice that he was an admin and as soon as I saw this post pop up on my news feed
I had to say something the post screamed scam to me and I know how the crypto space is full of scams so
I first remembered that I did not hear any mention of an ICO that would be held for SMT(smart media token) to confirm I quickly went on their website https://smt.steem.io/ no mention of an ICO so I commented on the Facebook DON'T GET SCAMMED PEOPLE.
He quickly removed my message and replied, here are screenshots of our conversation in the comment section
At first, when he mentioned he was the admin, I took a look and discovered he was telling the truth he is the sole admin of this steemit group, I thought its possible he tried to leverage his admin trust to trick people and exit scam and so I asked for evidence.
He presented what he had and it is not certain if he had malintent but what is certain is that he is misled.
Frist, he shared the twitter profile https://twitter.com/appics_official
So at first, I thought this was just another social media ICO trying to copy the smart media token idea.
So we went back and forth and he shared a steemit post from this company
https://steemit.com/steemit/@appics/announcing-appics-or-the-next-generation-social-app-or-first-smart-media-token
First of all its right in the title... but I tried to explain to him what this was apparently and he did not reply to my last comment so he might have realized his wrongs.
Either way, something still seems off with the ICO he is promoting, Its supposedly the first smart media token to launch on the steemit platform, Great news ! isn't it ? would we not hear about it from the steemit teem seems like a big deal.
I will continue to investigate and keep you guys posted with any new updates
stay safe in the crypto space
