ReplyDeleteHi Anon, unfortunately the ICO's are the latest scams to make money from. Stopping them is incredibly hard, one closes down, two more take their place. All you can do is report them to whichever jurisdiction they belong to, and then shout out in social media to raise awareness of both the scam and the parasites that promote them.
