While the results of legit ICO projects dwindle, there is an increasing number of fake projects staging scam ICOs. The latest one was found by Fintelegram partner Octo the Scam Hunter: FlukeCoin.

3. Telegram Group and Social Channels
The Telegram group was created on 5 October, seems with little activity and with random responses…
Regarding the social channels, there is no any track/record for it, although Flukecoins website has fake links to it.
FlukeCoins: The WhitePaper
After a short reading of the whitepaper of FlukeCoins, it seems as they do not really give out a solution nor any real explanation about the benefits of the FLUK token use or their proposed Eco System for the FLUK token.
Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy
The section is missing from the website, there are not even fake links for it.
The website of FlukeCoins has no company information address and regulation policies they are under. — Very suspicious.
