Probably this is the power o scammers. Scamming people becomes their work, their efforts, and their income.
Actually, through IEO, it can really decrease the chance of scammers to deceive the investors because they should use the third party to work, that is an exchange. However, there is also still a small hole that they can take apart, that is by choosing the small exchange or not trusted one. That is why t is very important for us to be smarter when going to invest in the new project, analyze whether the exchange is trusted enough, analyze their team members, and other transactions.

They will not giving up but they will more smarter. They just use their good ability to bad option. Spam from email is most favorite to steal our asset but if we are smart i think its not big problem. Be careful, crypto world really danger if we not taking care our asset and our privat file.
That's phishing if am not mistaken. In order to be safe, I always login to exchanges via Coinmarketcap because that's where the correct website address is. Also, another way is checking the group or channel, take note of the admins and then check for the website which is mostly in the pinned message. But in all, going through Coinmarketcap is the best..
You are right,this is why its always necessary to check the https// sign to confirm if the link is secured or not and secondly you have to check the website alphabetically e.g https://www.coinbase.com can be changed to http://www.coInbase.com,if you dont check it properly you will fall victim.
As the IEO is growing and every investor wants to get more profit that's why scammers stealing the excahnge account,so every investor should careful about emails and exchanges clone websites.

Unfortunately, no one is safe from scammers, but you can take some measures:
1. Add the exchange to your favorites and access only this link
2. If you trade in ethereum then you can use the metamask, it will warn about a phishing site.
3. Try to use decentralized exchanges such as bitshares
4. Use 2 factor authentication + confirmation by mail
5. And of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the official pages of exchanges in social networks, they write about dos attacks and changed ip
Always be careful, especially by reading strange emails or dms on telegram. Scams are everywhere and before sending your funds, please assure that the project is legit to protect your money. Otherwise you will regret not spending some time for research before investing.

I’ll add from myself that in addition to checking the website address, be sure to activate two-factor authentication. For all the actions that are possible: access to the site, withdrawal of funds, changing settings, and so on.
I often get this notification scamer from Emial and their Telegram told us to click on the link to get money even though it is clearly a fraud, we must be careful.
It is easy to fall for such phising sites if you do not take time to check the url properly. I bookmark pages i use often to avoid confusion. Some exchanges are aware of this scam and make a security provision for that- all genuine message from them must always carry your UNIQUE ID chosen and only known by you. I think Kucoin does that.
that's why we must be careful before clicking anything that will give us possibility in result loss our money caused by phishing or hacking, but these scammers are using various way to scam others just like some scammers are creating fake contract and create a buzzword if that was an official project that launch IEO from the big company like facebook and then they are spreading fake massage in all of the places to make others believe if they are real project but they are scammers.
I don't know why those scammers won't rest till they defraud crypto enthusiasts. Before signing into your exchange accounts in particular, cross check thoroughly to be sure you are not about to access a phishing site. The best is to bookmark all URL of your exchanges or use tools which detect phishing sites on your browser.
