Possibly scam UIA - LISK_BTS

[nmywn]

This is not first time, same with LISKICO scam.
There is serious issue with "find markets", which i belive is a main reason why newbies buying scam assets. It happen not all the time, but mostly => http://imgur.com/Ye26jas
Same with any OPEN.asset.
Fix this and no problem anymore.
You can't expect that people navigate markets via Home.

I think as its decentrilised anyone can issue his own asset.......but we should have a way to let people know in dex that what assets are decentrilised like bitassets n bts...... for other assets shoould have a way to provide a rating, a verified mnarket a stamp, or something  like that..........I agree that people must be free to release his own asset any time, that is decentrilised n freedom....but we could offer a way to  let people cautious what can be bad.

A couple days ago I wanted to purchase some lisk. Having never used bitshares before I downloaded, transferred in some btc, and went about my way. Found LISK_BTS and bought some, then started to look into transferring to my lisk wallet.

It seems like the lisk UIA is likely a scammer. Here's a link

And here's a steem thread on the same topic.

I've learned a valuable lesson, thankfully only with a few USD, but how can the community combat this so the next person doesn't go through the same thing?

Usually, people access BitShares through a hosted wallet/exchange. The operators if this have control over the "default" markets (those that are presented to the user).
They should do proper due diligence before adding any asset to that list. Anything that is NOT in that list should be approached with caution!

Sorry for your loss!
