Scammers and thieves are everywhere.
More and more people opening their eyes to crypto, give more room for confused people and easy targets.
Here are some things to consider diving into an ICO;
In ICO´s scammers are especially active in social media and showing up in Pm´s. (Personal message)
Often well spoken and wondering about how you do, and thank you for your trust.
Dont fall for it.
Most ICO´s won't give "special price for you, my friend", and certainly won't ask for your personal data.
At least any serious ones.
Most of the time the giveaway is their lack of ability to spell right. (Most of ICO teams are beyond grammar school.)
Check who is it that contact you, name spelled correctly?
I also would advise to contact another person in the team for a confirmation on the person in contact, or mail you might have received.
Dont send assets to an address thats not official by the team.
Social media like Telegram, Instagram etc is a very good way to make sure you talk to the right people.
Maybe you already know someone who knows a bit more than you do?
Happy shopping!
