Joshua Miller has shared a screenshot of a conversation between a crypto enthusiast and a scammer pretending to be Charles Hoskinson.
Scammers impersonate Charles Hoskinson in social networks
Input Output Global’s (IOG) NFT business lead Joshua Miller has taken to Twitter to warn the global crypto community about a novel scam campaign gaining steam.
Screenshot of a conversation between two Instagram users; One of them describes himself as IOG CEO Charles Hoskinson. Reportedly, Charles Hoskinson thanked his correspondent for the support and very strangely asked if his voice was inspirational.
However, the scammer makes a critical mistake: he describes his role as “Owner and CEO of Cardano Foundation.” Actually, Charles Hoskinson is the CEO and founder of Input Output Global, a development studio behind the Cardano (ADA) solutions.
At the same time, the Cardano Foundation is a Zurich-based non-profit organization called Cardano.[एडीए]Designed to monitor the progress of the blockchain. Therefore, the Cardano Foundation has no “owners”; Frederick Gregard appoints it as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from 2020.
Cardano (ADA) node ecosystem inches closer to Vasil hard fork
Mr. Miller stated that Charles Hoskinson will never message his subscribers on Facebook. Also, he has no Instagram accounts; as such anyone who writes on behalf of Mr. Hoskinson on these social networks is a scammer.
Right now, the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem is entering a critical phase of its development as Cardano has a Vasil hard fork. As previously covered by U.Today, over 14% of Cardano (ADA) nodes have upgraded their software to indicate support for hard forks.
This fork is set to dramatically increase performance and developer-friendliness of the Cardano (ADA) blockchain and its dApps building tools.
