No wonder - fraudulent schemes in the crypto industry are not news at all. Many of them were used long before the appearance of virtual currencies and, apparently, will live for a very long time. You just need to learn to recognize the scum and observe the technique of financial security.
It is true, scammers are everywhere even before cryptocurrency exist. When there is money, expect scammer will come to the scene because they want a piece of it no matter the consequences will be. The best that we can do is protect our wealth and learned more ways for protection which are available on the net.
This is the big problem in crypto market. Everyone wants to make money on illegal ways. They announce fake ICO, collect funds and ran away. It is hard to know the project authentication. I never believe in such ICOs. I always invest my money in big and reliable coins and which are also listed in exchange. I dont have enough money to try new experiences.
