It is common knowledge that there is a large number of scams connected with ICOs and cryptocurrencies. Even those who are indifferent to blockchain know about it. But still some people contrive to fall victim to scam. So I have decided to tell you about the cases of scam that the FairWin team has faced over the past few months.

On July, 7th we started the first stage of the token sale, at the beginning of August we published a smart contract for purchasing tokens and launched the alpha version of our game platform on blockchain. If before swindlers tried to sell us advertising on other people’s YouTube channels, now we receive much more original offers.

Several days ago our Telegram admin was written to by a certain Mary George who declared that she was ready to invest 80 000 dollars in FairWin (sounds amazing!), but she had no Ether on her wallet to execute the transaction. At first, the “investor” asked our admin to send 0,48 ETH to her account so that she could conduct the transaction and invest in the project, and then became even more persistent in demanding as much as 2 ETH. You may have guessed, our relationship with such an investor was a short one.

Another interesting character “found” a bug in our smart contract and wished to receive tokens for it. He wrote about it in our Telegram chat. Certainly, there was no bug. As we found out on Etherscan, it was not the first time this person deployed this scheme.

So be on your guard in case you receive such a message!

In general, as soon as you begin a token sale, the contents of incoming messages change drastically. There are fewer advertising offers and more messages from advisers, crypto enthusiasts, more offers connected with the attraction of investors and, naturally, messages from investors.

Many swindlers begin a conversation with the statement that they wish to bring an impressive sum to the project. If a dialogue goes well, they ask either for a personal meeting, or a talk over the phone. In the process of talking your interlocutor smoothly changes the subject and suggests purchasing something.

As a rule, such offices look quite respectable. Many of them have a one-pager with kind of a vague description of the company’s activity. I would not consider such activity outright swindle or scam. More likely it is simply a way of selling things. Nevertheless, an encounter with this is unpleasant enough: you will waste a lot of time just to see this person foist something on you.

Be attentive and do not fall into the hands of swindlers.
