1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Telegram ICO (TON) on: February 19, 2018, 01:23:35 PM
I would not be confident, and would also like to know the real ICO adress.

Quick search by whois request on the quoted site domain "ico-telegram.com":

The domains don't match, I doubt Telegram would take a risk on hosting it's ICO on another domain, despite DDOS risks.
Also the registar name of "ico-telegram.com" @ namecheaphosting is not very encouraging, the URL is ".com" whereas telegram is ".org"
All this point to a badly driven scam try.
Best regards :-)
