ICO scams 2018 explained - and how to avoid them

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Whenever there’s an opportunity to make money there will be people trying to scam you. ICOs are a very popular topic right now and many try to participate, however they are not only risky due to their early stage nature, but also because there’s many hackers, phishers and scammers trying to fool you into sending money to them instead.

Beginning of this year was especially “abundant” in such ICO scams which is why I decided to create a video to go through examples of some of the techniques used during recent token sales and how to defend yourself.

The more educated we all are the harder it’s going to be for scammers to profit from their activities, so please leave the comment about what scamming techniques you’ve noticed and share this video with as many people as you can!
