in my opinion you cant know it for sure before the first payday.
but you can minimize the risk of being scamed by:
- choose a campaign managed by a member that did it before and received positive feedback
- try to find out if the project that is advertised in the signature is legit or not.
- dont choose sig of projects that look fishy.

e.g
i know that byteball is not a scam and i know that the campaign manager managed a lot of campaigns before and kept promise.

In addition to what has been said above by vlom, it also matters whether the project will be actually worth something or not.

Even if the project isn't a scam and pays the participants, the tokens paid could be worth nothing if the development of the project does not meet expectations / standards.

find one that pays in bitcoin, ethereum, waves, or other well established altcoins
and preferably with weekly schedule payment, so you won't waste much time if it turns scam
sig camps or bounties that pay with its own token rarely are worth keeping in the long run :P

edit: if the sig camp is scam, most likely the project is scam too
but even when the sig camp is paying, there is still chance the project is scam ::)

- Find campaign managed by well-known Managers (Atriz, Yahoo, Lauda)
- If it's ICO, find out about their project, sometimes it is easy to smell bullshit project from their ANN topic ::)
- Make sure campaign fund are escrowed
- If the payrate are too good to be true, it is

In addition to what has been said above by vlom, it also matters whether the project will be actually worth something or not.

Even if the project isn't a scam and pays the participants, the tokens paid could be worth nothing if the development of the project does not meet expectations / standards.
Then again, if it's worthless, at least it still has some value to it :P
Has there any ICO project that don't meet expectation and flopped completely?
