Ok. Just a few minutes of research later, I, too, could clearly see that this is a scam/fake ICO. It was set up by the SEC in the U.S. I just couldn't post right away, cuz I'm still new to posting (I was a lurker for a long time before recently finally creating an account) so I had to wait 6 minutes.......
Amusing, I suppose, but also crazy. It is pretty nuts to see some of the comments on here-- did you guys who are speaking positively of the "project" go to the website before promoting the "bounty?"  Or, are you just trollin'/having a laugh?

For anyone who has not gone to the website:    If you try to click on "Buy Coins Now" buttons, it takes you here: https : // www. investor. gov / howeycoins    
......
Kind of does highlight just how easy it can be sometimes to scam ...  Undecided Cry Undecided

That actually looks more legit than some of the "real" Icos out there.
Lol, indeed. I agree with you-- Overall, the language on the site was not any worse than what you see with the "real" projects out there. Just makes me wonder at how many people were posting things like "great project" and more positive crud, who obviously hadn't even thoroughly checked the website out......  or, maybe they DID, and were trolling to see how many people they could egg on and fool? Who knows.

On a related note.... the proofreading perfectionist in me cringes when I see such mistake-ridden, confusing English in white papers and on websites for some of these projects, especially when they otherwise look promising. I can't help it. Sigh...
