I was lurking around Telegram looking for a good ICO to join. Then this post appeared https://medium.com/@cryptomedics/fake-private-ico-group-scam-exposed-db421b63dbaf. The scammers created a private ICO group to lure people in saying they are genuine staff of Hedera Hashgraph looking for new investors. After investigating the scammers, the CM admins found out their leader, his name is Jonathan Teroskyi. They also said that at least there are four people involve in the scam. Additionally, one of the CryptoAdmins said the con artists even shared their own group in Hashgraph official telegram group, some people even got invited personally by one of the fake accounts. Please share this so people wont get scammed by these con artists anymore.  

Here is an image of the scammers teamspeak (looks very professional):

It's a good thing you know how to read and investigate. There is a lot of scammers lurking in this world and luckily for you to know it before it's too late. I don't know if you are a newbie just here in the forum or the cryptocurrency itself but I think you are not the type of person who just want to invest without prior research. Keep it up and be careful not to fall to hands of those crocodiles.

You are well done. Thanks for the work you've done. Our community needs more people like you, because the number of scammers is growing. I myself would have done a similar job, but unfortunately I am very busy with my basic work.

It is very good that you posted this information here. This momezhet, turn a blind eye to other people on the project and they will not invest in it. There are also those who will risk and lose their money.

Thank you very much, you are the one who is trying to fight against these SCAM projects which have the only goal of raising funds and just disappear. Thank you very much for your effort and I hope there were more people like you trying to get rid of this trash projects; however, new ones are created and it's really impossible to track if they are scams or not

Whenever someone contacts you on telegram to offer you a good deal to invest in an ICO, it's always a scam. All ICO's are warning to only send funds to the addresses that are mentioned on the ICO's website. So it's better to just block the people that are contacting you to propose you these offers.

It is a good thing that some of these fake ICOs are being exposed, I really do wish that a lot more could be fished out and more people would be relieved from the possibility of being scammed. Thanks for sharing your findings. Hopefully, people will be more careful and do their own part as to not getting scammed.
