We have been working in the eventful world of ICOs for over a year, so as promised in our Telegram Channel here are some insightful truths and tips to help you run a successful campaign.
1. Scammers are everywhere
Let’s start with something fun. The first thing we learned is that there are numerous ways you can get scammed, the most popular being adopting the identity of an influencer. Some were basic but others were quite creative, even managing to fake any email address by using tools like Emkei. To give an example, here is the email we got after being contacted in telegram and asking the impersonator to validate from the real email address:

Tips on how to avoid being scammed:
Most likely you won’t be reached out to by a popular source, so if you receive an offer from a youtuber with a lot of followers it should be an instant red flag.
Message the official channel asking for confirmation about the offer. By notifying them of a scammer using their name you might even build a relationship.
Check the email source and look for ‘received from’ section:
