I'm not sure if everyone received the same email as me but I recently received a dubious email from someone claiming they were conducting the ICO for Telegram. I instantly disregarded for a number of reasons and thought I would ask if anyone on here actually participated.
Here are my reasons for thinking it is a straight up scam:
- 1. Terrible layout of the email: The email which was sent out did not have any of the branding from Telegram whatsoever. This is a straight up red flag. If it were real they would have had their branding all over that shit to give confidence to people.
- 2. Lack of information: The email pretty much just said that they are Telegram and they are doing an ICO. Again, another massive red flag for me.
- 3. Not an official Telegram email address:Again, if this were the official Telegram email announcement the message would have come from an official telegram.com email
- 4. No proper mailing list:If this was the real telegram ICO they would have used an official mailing list instead of just copy and pasting a load of emails into the send field.
So there are my reasons, if anyone invested can you tell me the outcome of investing? I personally think this was a scam by some kids.
