With the rise of digital currencies and blockchain projects, investors face various new types of scams. One common scam is when criminals impersonate project insiders and privately contact potential investors to sell so-called ICO privileges and shares. These scammers often promise high returns and exclusive investment opportunities, but their ultimate goal is to deceive funds. Here are some key tips to identify and avoid such scams.
 

Identifying signs of fake insiders:

Unofficial communication channels: Scammers often contact individuals privately through email, social media, or instant messaging apps, rather than through officially recognized communication channels.

Excessive secrecy and urgency: They may claim it is an “exclusive” or “confidential” opportunity that requires quick action.
 

How to protect yourself:

Verify identity and information: Before making any investment, always verify the identity of the contact person. Check their email address, social media accounts, and official website information.

Use official communication channels: Always obtain information through the project’s official website or official announcements, and do not rely on personal contacts.

Handle unsolicited proposals with caution: Be cautious about unsolicited investment proposals, especially when they come from individuals who appear to be insiders.
 

Preventive measures by MTOOEX:

Enhance user education and awareness: MTOOEX actively educates users about digital currency fraud prevention through publishing educational articles, hosting webinars, and providing online resources, increasing user awareness of various types of ICO scams, especially those involving fake insiders.

Additionally, for all ICOs and new projects, MTOOEX issues clear official statements outlining its involvement and relevant policies.

Verification of partner identities: Before promoting any ICO project, MTOOEX thoroughly verifies the identities and backgrounds of the project team, including verifying team members’ identities and historical records.
