It looks like Waltonchain tried to reward themselves in their own competition on Twitter today. The official Waltochain Twitter account has announced the winners of their #ValentinesDay compentition via the tweet below:

Congratulations to all the $WTC winners who participated in our #ValentinesDay campaign! Please find the winners' list below and contact us before March 7th to receive $WTC. #Waltonchain

*Please guard against scams accounts asking for tokens.https://t.co/CLbMtDhZwI

Shortly after the announcement they tweeted the following from their official account

The tweet has since been deleted but some twitter users managed to take screenshots. It looks like Waltonchain tried to reward themselves in their own competition but forgot to switch their Twitter accounts when they tried to pose as a regular user thanking for the reward. This is incredibly shady. This sort of behavior is why #crypto is constantly surrounded by controversy. If I were invested in the coin I would take a closer look at what happened here re-evaluate my investments.
