There are more and more ICOs that have been hacked and the most current one is the hot ICO which was hacked a few hours ago where their website, email and Slack was hacked or misleading. Enigma is a recently launched ICO, its Pre ICO was out very fast where it was rumoured that they got Youtubers to pump it, they also delayed the Crowdsale by 3 weeks so more people could join even after selling out the presale. They increased by 4,500 people in 3 days. The crowdsale was supposed to be last week, then they delayed until September 11th and now phishing email & links were distributed for enigma. Already more than $400k has been send to the wrong address $ETH. The ETH wallet

Hence, it is helpful to always check the website and account before sending to an ETH account.
You might wanna check It might be helpful to check the scam database before investing at [Etherscan Scam Accounts[(https://etherscamdb.info/scams/) where the hacker's account will be listed.
So always, remembers to always stick to some golden rules:
- don't let yourself get rushed
- always check the email address of the sender (the spelling and addresses)
- if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't true (some email telling you that they are giving you free extra discounts)
Always do your due diligence and research ya ! TO THE MOON!!!
