I was thinking you would have included the ANN Thread of the project on the forum because that is where actions would have been effected. For now there is hardly anything anyone can do other than the awareness being done here that will only affect those who deem it necessary for them to visit this section of the forum. Their publicity I believe would be outside the forum. I wonder how people come up with lies that could easily be busted by mere search on the internet but it's not their fault, as long as those lazy people who called themselves investors that cannot do basic search before putting their money into a project they will continue to have hope to pull this off anytime they feel.

I missed this one. Tagged.

They often expose scam ICO's which doesn't have threads on this forum.
For now there is hardly anything anyone can do other than the awareness being done here that will only affect those who deem it necessary for them to visit this section of the forum.
Whoever search for "steincoin scam" (or any other ICO without announcement thread on this forum) will find this thread and will be warned on time.

Not everyone is capable to recognize scam, especially if they use pictures and linkedin profiles of real people. Also new investors are always entering this space, social media friend recommended this ICO as good one - it is really easy to trick people, besides, most people still forget to ask questions because they think someone might get offended - and they are very wrong about this, investor has to ask questions and they should be given clear answers. Many reasons why they fail to recognize scam.
It is better to have this kind of warning than no warning at all.
