Cheating with the test tokens GRAM

After the release of a GRAM of purses there were characters who decided to make a test network business. First stating in a few major channels that the test Grama can be an asset, fueled gullible audience, and then began to make deals with real money, forming a pyramid of the test tokens. And like any pyramid immediately appeared followers: there were buyers test tokens for real money, channels and chat rooms exchange.

However, not everyone knows that the test network testnet is for testing the blockchain, and the bot created for the issuance gram contestants create smart contracts. Moreover, the testing Protocol has changed several times. So Grama available in purses several times in recent months have become unavailable.

Bot issuing test tokens actually stopped working due to the fact that a large number of users have started without stopping to ask him Grama, thereby having a bot several times already. The results of the test gram bot is now strictly limited.

Do not give in to speculation, participating in the deception of users. Created Testnet network test, not to test human greed.

We began testing of Gram Wallet wallets in our chat more than a week ago not to satisfy someone's commercial interests. So from now on all offers in our test gram TON Info Chat, will be nipped in the Bud by blocking with the report.
