Dear Community.
A quick note from us to make you aware that a few bad eggs are doing their best to dupe crowdsale participants into handing over their money under false pretences.
Sadly, a lot of successful crowdsales are targeted by scammers as they grow in popularity. TV-TWO has already had numerous people posing as official admins in our Telegram group (fake Philipps seem particularly popular).
All we want to say is: be highly suspicious of anyone posting odd sounding messages, or using Unicode characters (a URL phishing trick), and always report them to the group’s official admins — who have the actual word ‘admin’ next to their handle names on Telegram, like this:
No-one from TV-TWO — or any other legitimate ICO or crowdfund event — will EVER ask for your wallet address or payment details on a public forum. If anyone does, or if someone other than an official admin tries to get you to private message them — or even if you just feel like something’s not right — exercise great caution.
There are a lot of desperate people out there who think nothing of lying, cheating, and using numerous fraud tactics to scam legitimate followers.
Stay safe guys.
