Thanks for the warning. Moneroconnect was also a thing for a shortwhile after the bitconnect finally collapsed.
I'd say the general population is still pretty clueless on cryptos, but the knowledge is creeping up just slightly. I can't wait until all the shitty alts are finally weeded out as well.
Unfortunately, like weeds, it seems every time one shitty alt is removed two more spring up in it's place.
