Somewhat related is I got scammed by Hextracoin. Lost my bitcoins through that ICO investment. It is hard to not fall for these scams when over the past year a lot of crypto has been increasing in value 10 folds. Its noobs like myself who fall into these traps the easiest. Not knowing any better.
Dam, sorry that happened to you. That sucks and you're right, it has been booming really fast so it's a hard temptation. Getting in right away isn't bad when you come up but I'm more of a wait and see if they're legit and establish themselves first.
