Hi friendz, I am creating this thread to save newbie member from Scams. Please share ongoing scam that you spoted I am sharing here few scams that I came to know in past few days.

1) GRAM Token (Telegram ICO) (TON.FUND) - This looks pretty real and well done, but the site https://ton.fund/ is SCAM and it is NOT from Telegram!
2) Gainbitcoin/MCAP/Bitcoingrowthfund: There all are scam currently online by offering attractive deals as mining contracts. They have cheated all their previous mining cusomers and now started with a new website and name.
3) Airdrops: 99% airdrops are scam and launched to steal your email and password that you are using for your wallets etc. Recently I saw DADI token airdrop, when I caontacted DADI they tols me that there is no airdrop.
4) Yesterday a bot account with same ICO admin avatar and name contacted me to deposit directly in ETH address to get 50% extra bonus tokens. I conveyed this to main ICO chat group and came to know that its an scam bot.
