Tonight I have got an email about 'Status RSK' ICO.
It says I was chosen as one of Conony.io user for invitation to a closed Status RSK private tokensale available only for promo-code holders.
Their web site says it is a Status.im clone, a decentralized chat bot protocol that automatically converts smart contracts into simple chat conversations, compatible with Ethereum but built for the aka "new Bitcoin smart contract Standart RSK'.
Why I think this is a scam?
Because their method involves a large set of psychological manipulation
- I set my time zone on Colony.io. They say they found my email on Colony.io. I've got this email late evening, when impulsive behavior is more possible;
- There are no any information about founders, developers, etc. Only contact email on GMail account.
- There are a message on their landing site that 32,51% of tokens are already sold. Wow! So I need to buy it immediately? But this number remains from yesterday evening till today 8 a. m. - not even small change.
- This ICO invites to send money from any wallet, from any exchange, just send promo-code with every transaction. A good idea to get more money from greedy to freebies lame ducks...
And more and more and more...
I think this is scam and you should not participate in this ICO.
What do you think?
