Attackers also may try and steal funds by injecting messages into Facebook groups, telegram groups, discord channels, and other communication platforms to steal funds. For instance, a user may show up and declare that they are helping the team and could everyone please fill out some survey or other. The survey collects email addresses and, naturally, those email addresses are then sent emails that look as though they are coming from a related domain to send funds or get a special sale.

Who can and cannot speak for the ICO should be extremely clear, and anyone who claims to speak for the ICO team but doesn't should be flagged and banned immediately.
