For some time now an ICO attracts a lot of attention: TON "from" Telegram. But it could be a scam. Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram tells it's a scam on Twitter https://twitter.com/durov/status/953047295309774848 One article in french tells it's indeed a scam https://journalducoin.com/altcoins/ico-telegram-scam/ Another article in english shows doubts about this ICO https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/scam-alert-theres-something-funny-telegram-ico/ Any more information on this topic? For people investing in the ICOs, TON is the next big thing.

The website gramtoken.io was a scam, that's what Pavel Durov said, but Telegram's ICO is very likely to be real (see here https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/telegram-open-network/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/telegram-open-network/)
