Ask HN: Somebody is using my identity for an ICO scam. What should I do?

4 points by call_me_k 8y ago ↗ HN

I just found out that somebody is using my picture, name and links to social networks in what seems to be an ICO scam website. They pretend to be a translation app on top of blockchain technology and listed me as part of the team working on the app which I am not. I am not sure what to do! Any ideas?
