Title: Scammers have besieged ICO Telegram Groups
Post by: sirkings0003 on January 11, 2018, 05:31:45 PM
Seeing that ICO Telegram groups have millions of prospective investors looking for where to invest, scammers have moved to the ICO Telegram groups. If you have not been chatted by these set of scammers, here is their modus operandi.

They first join and monitor the activities of their target telegram group with a particular telegram account. Create another telegram account that bears the name of one of the admins of the group. They will then private message or chat the active and unsuspecting investors. They would promise to give them a higher percentage if they will invest. When you agree, they will now send you another contract address they call "bonus contract address". They will go ahead tell you to "pls send the contract hash and amount of eth sent for Identification so that you will get the promised bonus." Once you do this and they confirm that the money is in their wallet. You will never hear from them again.
