EOS.IO Could It be a Hoax Scam token?

After reading the EOS TOKEN PURCHASE AGREEMENT I totally get the feeling like this is a huge scam.
Specifically the parts about the tokens having no use or value. US citizens they may be protecting you from this scam token while at the same time building up a huge demand which will come from the US FOMO(fear of missing out). Also the fact that they become non-transferable after the distribution period seems like you would be holding a bag of useless worthless tokens that could not even be transferred. What are the consequences of a US person falling for this plot and saying that they are not US? Does anybody think this is not a scam?
