He received various messages on Twitter with people addressing the scams that they found.
Someone said: “the domain names these scammers are using are reg thru [email protected]. I am reporting the videos I am finding on youtube…, but new ones keep popping up. There will be no way to take them all down the way it is going the only way is to educate people in crypto.”
Before this, Hoskinson was telling people that he would be taking a break from social media.
Alright Kids, this week has been action packed and exhausting, but we made some incredible progress. I’m taking a social media and AMA break until the hard fork on the 29th to deep focus on Goguen and the next parts of the roadmap. See you soon. pic.twitter.com/ECiDVD2QVq
