The idiot(s) doing the marketing for an ICO called CryptalDash.io decided out of the blue to add people to their Telegram channel without asking for permission.
And when I pointed out that I was added there without my consent, they removed me without even a single "sorry for the inconvenience" message.
I'm pretty sure they did that to others, as well.
Last time I had access to their Telegram group I counted 1.6k members. All added within hours.
And that's exactly why some businesses in the blockchain will fail before even launching.
Don't take people for granted.
Don't use people's names for your own benefit.
Don't use people's power without their consent.
Just yesterday there was the story with Othor.org happening, a joke of an ICO and a clear scam:
What is wrong with these people, I wonder...

Someone from your team or maybe someone impersonating a member of your team created a Telegram group in which they added over 1,000 members in a couple of hours.
I found myself among those who were added without my consent.
And once I raised the issue I was thrown out without an apology, without an explanation.
If this wasn't you, investigate who has done it under your company name.
I understand you don't have a product or a public ICO. I'm involved in the marketing of several ICOs, Aimedis being one of them.
That is why I am telling you, that kind of action is not healthy for your brand.
I will leave this article up and your comments, of course. I believe in the freedom of speech and anyone has the right to defend themselves.
I do highly suggest you investigate this asap and find out who created the group on Telegram on your behalf. It could be a scammer looking to make profits out of people by using your company name.
Please secure your official telegram groups and channels prior to the actual campaign. This helps prevent incidents from happening.
