You should always check ann thread of the coins and visit the official token sale page. Don't trust any telegram channel or email you might got from email that looks like official.

Sorry for your loss but you should and many other should learn lesson from this.

I agree that we should check ann thread first before joining their token sale. I think telegram is a nice one to interact with the developer and team. I also look at their twitter and facebook page for some update.

If this is real, then I feel sorry for you. But in any case, there a lots of ways from which you can have chosen to how you will invest. When you invest, you need to sign up in their website with your information and then afterwards, the process of investment are given. In your case, you joined a telegram with 350+ members which is fishy enough but didn't bother to pay attention. Iagon is quite known in the community so it is impossible to only have 350+ members. Also, you chatted with the CEO and instructed you to send eth to invest instead of visiting their site which is odd. Too many loopholes in this scenario, most people with common sense could have sensed that there was something wrong.

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.

A very disappointing event, of course, I am very sorry for your loss. More and more ways are being done by fraudsters. Hopefully the incident becomes learning and more vigilant in making decisions.

It really does suck when these things happen. Which is why we should be extra vigilant in choosing projects to participate in. Bad elements are lurking around the internet space all the time seeking for new victims. These are smart people and the only way to counter them is to be smart ourselves!

DOn't get fooled and scammed by those scammers. Be aware on technology on the internet some will give you high returns but let's make it shorter you must take care of your money and keep it safe. Put your private key on a safe way. Ask help or permission if you want too.

How can you invest such large amounts in one project?, it is better to distribute these 5 ETH for several hundred dollars to different projects, this increases the chance, not to lose all money and at least to return something.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's a very expensive experience, you lose 5 ETH. Well, the fraudsters are getting smarter to hide their crimes, we must make sure that the websites and social media accounts and their chat groups are official accounts. One thing we need to understand does not believe it easily if someone sends you a PM to ask for some money or join an ICO project. Have you reported the Iagon scammer telegram group?

That is so painful. It is always best you get your links from ICO rating sites, they usually have the correct links to the website and social media accounts.My sympathies please

it's a bad experience, as an investor and bounty hunter, we should be more careful to follow an ico, because if we are not careful we could have got a scam ico. experience ever passed can be a learning in choosing ico in the future. and hopefully not to find a scam ico again.

i am so sorry to hear that but do not be disappointed and do not give uo and i thonk that you will cope with this situation soon

What are you trying to say? Are you drunk?
Well, to OP that was your lesson you must be researchful first before you grab the opportunity, because just like that situation you've never know you putting all your money into risk and turns nothing. Can I ask you why you invest in that huge amount to them? The good thing more convincing to me that it is true if you include to post here the TX hash.
So, next time be careful.

The fraud as you have encountered is widespread. Therefore, before dealing with any stranger, you should go through the escrow, and if you are the impersonator of the ICO project, you need to confirm in the telegram group before transferring the crypto to them to minimize the risk when trading with anonymous.

this is a verysad ztory, bir you are not the only one and i thin,t hat thwpere are a lot of people who have also been scammed

people can get scam,ed, and unfortunatelly it heppensa more odten thae n we would like it to. move on and hold on, you will cope

I agree, the lesson is serious. Now there are a lot of such situations and one must be so cautious, because at every step they can deceive. I wish you that such lessons were as small as possible
