But it could be a scam.<p>Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram tells it&#x27;s a scam on Twitter https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;durov&#x2F;status&#x2F;953047295309774848<p>One article in french tells it&#x27;s indeed a scam https:&#x2F;&#x2F;journalducoin.com&#x2F;altcoins&#x2F;ico-telegram-scam&#x2F;<p>Another article in english shows doubts about this ICO https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.financemagnates.com&#x2F;cryptocurrency&#x2F;news&#x2F;scam-alert-theres-something-funny-telegram-ico&#x2F;<p>Any more information on this topic?

The website gramtoken.io was a scam, that&#x27;s what Pavel Durov said, but Telegram&#x27;s ICO is very likely to be real (see here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;01&#x2F;08&#x2F;telegram-open-network&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;01&#x2F;08&#x2F;telegram-open-network&#x2F;</a>)
