I wanted to participate in the Iagon pre-sale. I joined what I thought was the official Iagon telegram. Turned out it wasn't. I followed the instructions on the pinned message, which directed me to send ETH to a specified wallet address. Turned out it was all a scam, and I lost 5 ETH.

Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.

If that was an airdrop or an ico then you should always read the platform or ico's before following the rules, in order to determine if the project is legitimate or just a scam.

Sorry to hear that man, some people these days are really aggressive just to scam innocent people who are trying to make money without making any kind of bad intention in order to live. But they are really worked on it, many of them are existed in telegram channels introduced their selves as one of the admin and trying to communicate you about transferring the Eth you are wanted to invest but sadly you transferred the Eth into their wallet address not to the ICO.

oh, shot. it's very unfortunately, I hope you can get a replacement. scammers are a major problem in the world of ICO, so many companies are increasing their security and trying to lure potential investors to stay cautious before investing

ICO related scam is a real pain for the serious investors. With fake channel, fake avatar doing dm etc, seen countless times people lost money with this sht (especially on telegram). Just do you own research, making sure everything is legit before a transaction guys.

Oh, that must be really painful man, unfortunately, scammers got what they want. Their shady tactics are more and more sophisticated every day. They will never vanish from this space and that is the reason why we should be really careful. If I want to invest, I double-check sites and social media (at least) all the time. Well, sometimes even this tactic does not pay off and people are screwed as they lost their savings. On the other hand, it was a lesson for every single reader of this topic and thanks for sharing your experience, we should keep our information channels updated, especially if we are talking about scams. This is the Internet, we have to stay cautious all the time!

Iagon is one of the top tier projects at the moment, I'm sure there are many cheats that will behave in the name of Iagon to deceive someone, be careful if you want to invest, especially with a large amount

The legit telegram group of Iagon has many members in telegram. We should be careful in joining a group in telegram as this is one of many scams, many people there are chatting the investors just to scam. 5 eth is a huge amount this is serves as your lesson so the very next time you should be careful.

Oh my bad, Sad

, You should be careful next time if you want to participate in a project and investing in it, 5 ETH is really a big amount to lose. These days there are a lot of projects that have the objective to scam people, they use a lot of tricky methods for that purpose. I know that there are a lot of people here can be scammed by these projects, I advise them to be more careful and search a lot about any project you want to invest in it before any move.

It was a great loss 5ETH isn't small money. This will teach all of us participating in icos to be extremely careful and vigilant.

For newbies out there it should be a combination of all the links to identify which one is the real official. Alot of telegram groups nowadays are fake or even before because of airdrops. The cryptos that is already trading were a trend with an airdrop but when you check their site which can have the official social links, they were not doing one. So be careful and do the extra mile to be safe.

Too many fraudsters divorced and they became very sophisticated. Therefore, you need to be very careful not to get into their network. Be careful.

Sorry to hear about your losses, there are plenty of scammers around. It is better to check the contract address properly before sending your ETH over. And don’t ever send your ETH to an address posted in telegram or anywhere.

I feel bad that you have scammed you should doubled check the telegram if its official or not. Next time to know if its a scam or not you should ask questions to your friends who knows better than you to make sure if its a scam or not and better check the members in the telegram.

And I have this bounty, the company introduced and it seemed to me that this is a serious organization. And I'm sorry your that 5 Ethereum has gone to fraudsters. Today there are a lot of scammers. Every day they come up with different schemes of income.

I have often had similar situations. Especially when I got on scam when I participated in bounty campaigns. It's really hard to experience it.. But it makes me choose bounty more careful..

You have to be careful. at this time a lot of fake telegram groups made by fraudsters. If you are asked to send a coin directly without having to go through the official web, you should reject it, because it is a fraud
