Scam implies theft. Those forks aren't being used to steal money from people.

What if one of the proponents of those projects is a guy who pretends to be Satoshi Nakamoto? When we all know he isn't, and know and he can't prove it. Should that affect the credibility of a project?

I mean it's not really a scam, but it's definitely fraud.
