Everyday, we face some threads here in bitcointalk with complain that people are targeting others to scam.
I found some people are doing that in different ways. Yesterday, I have visited a IEO group and asked for attention from admin. Couple of minutes later, someone knocked me and started to ask if I want to invest? He claimed he is an admin of that IEO group. I checked his profile and the admin from the group. For a moment I was fool. The scammer who knocked me was using the username of the original admin, in his (scammer) bio profile.
But, I further looked and got the different.
Don't send any fund if anyone ask you, no real project's admin will PM you.
Messengers were created for communication and the most that you can do is complain about spam. For any investment, it’s worth several times to think over and double-check the data of the development team, as a rule, all investments are made on exchanges or on their personal website. And thanks for the warning, I think newcomers will definitely draw their conclusions, but the scammers do not sit idle and always come up with new ways to cheat.
