Enigma is a recently launched ICO, its Pre ICO was out very fast where it was rumoured that they got Youtubers to pump it, they also delayed the Crowdsale by 3 weeks so more people could join even after selling out the presale. They increased by 4,500 people in 3 days. The crowdsale was supposed to be last week, then they delayed until September 11th and now phishing email & links were distributed for enigma.
