Scammers have a new target and this time its CoinDesk as they try to impersonate CoinDesk reporters and editors in the last few months, promising inclusion of projects in return for a fee.

At least two unique victims have paid hundreds of dollars in bitcoin and ether to these convicts and reached CoinDesk just subsequent to acknowledging that something wasn't right.

Thus CoinDesk makes it explicitly clear through an announcement that the news site doesn't, and will never, accept payment for coverage.

This to and fro between the scammer and the news editor is generally well disposed and, in certain nations where associations regularly pay for news coverage, 'expected'.

Hence, CoinDesk advises its users that it's working with the new site's legal counsel and tech group to discover ways for impeding these impostors and in the meanwhile, requests the users to kindly verify the handles of the accounts contacting them.

The clients can likewise email the writer or the editor directly in the event that they have any inquiries.
