Title: Scammers are focusing on IEO Funds
Post by: Stanlo on August 08, 2019, 07:13:48 AM
IEOs are becoming a threat to those who rely on choosing project from any exchanges,low rated exchanges have already joined the IEO rollercoaster and projects funds are been raised through these low rated exchanges which to me is a very dangerous risks for anyone who invest in projects from low rated exchanges or even new exchanges.

Do not forget that many new projects are coming into crypto space focusing only on the funds they will raised through IEO/ICO

what you call "low rated exchanges" are the same as top exchanges that only have lower volume. they both are doing the same exact thing too. the only difference is that the bigger exchanges have a better popularity so they can get bigger scams that hide their tracks so much better than the shitty ones that have to choose the small exchanges.
in the end the big exchanges like Binance started IEO because they wanted the extremely large amounts of money they earn through bribes they can get in return for advertising the scam fundraising operations.

I have come to know many new exchanges through crypto projects I have participated in launching IEOs. It means that many new crypto exchanges have targeted IEOs to get attention of as many as traders. Some of such exchanges maybe fake. So I also want to ask people that you should take a look at exchanges and its reputation before participating in any IEO.

The question im dying to get answers for about IEO is

Can a scam IEO projects make it to popular exchanges with high reputation like binance? I think the answer is NO because binance will want to safe its reputation and when taking over a new project's IEO they will make sure that the project teams are real.

I think investors are the one who needs to be careful when choosing IEO projects from new exchanges or not very popular exchanges because when they get enough funds from IEO projects they can easily exist scam.

You can focus on top exchanges IEO projects. The exchange is not the only thing to participate in ICO or IEO. The exchange will be guarateed lition on their exchange. The next thing is you have to do your own research about that project before invest in any ICO or IEO. You can focus on their project, future updates, team etc.

That's why we must try to do a lot of research especially to put a lot of our attention to the any IEO that runs in the low tier exchange site, as far as i know low tier are applying the easiest requirements for a new a ico to use that launchpad platform.
This is why low tier exchange's launch pad is riskier compared with the major launch pad.

Exactly, we should not be too greedy to invest in the IEO. Just keep track of big exchanges and join their IEO. Do not try to join the IEO of smaller exchanges because they are not afraid to lose their reputation, they only care about the money raised from the IEO

So what's the solution for this new and low rated exchanges? Of course new projects will choose this exchanges because they are still needing funds. So the cheaper the exchange to start their IEO is much better than taking risks on high rated and expensive exchanges.

These illicit activities have already been known for quite some time and fortunately more and more people in the crypto-community are all getting aware of this schemes and becoming more vigilant than ever. Again, conducting a comprehensive and thorough research on the integrity of these projects is a must so that we can combat this fraudsters and altogether discourage them from doing this shameless acts.

what exactly are you saying in essence? that all low rated exchanges are possible scammers, you could be right or wrong as this is just base on your personal assumption and nothing else, many project go for the low rated exchanges because they are more affordable and their conditions are more flexible than that of the high rated money milking exchanges, what is the benefit of given almost half of the worth of your project to a high end exchange when you can get similar services for less ???
Those who list on low end exchange know the reason why.

I invest in IEO projects but binance is not the only exchange with the best projects,IEO projects from binance brings quick profit but im not entirely investing in IEO projects for the quick profits,Gate.io,okex,huobi have fantastic IEO projects as well and this exchanges are very popular,its better to select projects from popular exchanges and remember that projects from okex can be better than the one from binance,you can easily find out by doing research

this is IEO's weak point, where they use Exchange to raise funds after they leave and no longer develop their projects, scammers use IEO to get rich easily, but in my opinion, IEO still has hope for success, if they have reserve funds to increase the price of their tokens after IEO is finished, I think IEO will be very dependent on market demand.

Do you have any facts about this? Are all new scam projects? According to you, it turns out that there is only one protection against fraudsters - a large amount for IEO, since scammers do not want to invest heavily in their adventures.

We know that. But this market is not regulated so everyone could raise a money for a nice idea. But that is all, you pay for an idea and plans but not for products.
Only reverse-ICOs would make sense and protect us from this situation.

yeah right and it has been proven that there are many lauchpad that offer ieo scams and even some of the big top 20 exchanges, some are indicated to offer ieo scams. I am not surprised because ieo is very similar to ico trend in the last few years.

Post by: YuginKadoya on August 08, 2019, 03:16:50 PM
The Said thing can sure happen, If it happened on the ICO popularity then Scammers will surely be focused on the most popular thing in the crypto now, And I think a lot of bounty hunters as well is focusing more on IEO, This is a sure thing to happen, If the popularity of ICO had created Bitconnect then history may repeat itself, but I am not saying it will be probable to all IEO and that project is not legit and I am surely not suggesting to do not get involve in IEO anymore, I am saying to be cautious and plan ahead in every decision you will make, Projects like this make surely make you profit but if not given proper research it will also lead to losing all of your invested money and time as well.

For those who's been victimized for sure they won't believe it anymore but to those who still chasing big exchangers to facilitate the sales then IEO's are still an option for investment, it's needed to still do your research and make sure that you fully understand the risk factors that accompanied by  the project that you'll going to invest with.

Many IEOs in small exchanges do not get less investor pension targets because the price of tokens after the listing falls, so investors run to even bigger ones,

Somehow many IEO projects actually choose small exchanges. it will not strengthen investor confidence. it is tantamount to making their view of the project a failure before the war. Even though sales are successful, small markets will not save prices when trading begins.

It's always up to the investors to decide whether they will put their money into that IEO or not. Some low rated exchange that the sole purpose is for making IEO and getting the money is indeed a threat but with proper information for all the people, they will definitely be aware and avoid such an exchange.

After victimizing ICO investors now the next target are IEO?well what can we expect from them?this is their life to take others resources without even spending something
This is why we need to be precise in every investment form we will be having here

yes you're right, that's why we have to be more selective in choosing which projects to invest in. don't believe too much in the promises they say, good projects usually don't provide promises but tangible evidence. my suggestion is better we don't pay attention to the IEO project in the small exchange. it just makes you waste time.

I don't think they are frauds. These are bad projects like projects that are mobilizing capital through ICO.
Small exchanges such as Exmarket, VinDax, Bitforex, IDAX will often not be responsible for the price after the token is listed on exchange.
That is also the main reason why prices plummeted in less known projects.

It means you arent aware what idax did to many IEO projects,starting from xcrypt project idax sat on their money and never send it back to the xcrypt team after all fund are raised successfully,same thing happened to cryptomarketads project,this means not all exchanges cares about their reputation

I agree with this.
That large exchanges like Binance are indeed very good for those of you who want to invest in IEO. It is not recommended for low exchanges that do IEO. Because now almost all low or high exchanges do IEO. This makes scammers included in the scope of IEO.

That is true, and the scammers will use IEO funds to trick people. But I think that is difficult because if they want to trick people into investing in their project, they need to pass the exchanges verification so their project can be list on that exchanges and the presale can start. Maybe their way to trick people will not as big as in the ICO but yes, the possibility to trick people still wide open. So the investor needs to be careful to invest in any projects.

Firstly, I don't think this should catch us off guard but it the crypto exchange site that offers IEOs that need to tighten their verification cause the last time most of the exchange site is not doing good verification of project before they decide to launch the project IEO and Binance is a good example of an exchange that does the very best verification of project.

Things will surely get better in the future about projects funds raising,dont forget that ICO was replaced by IEO now and there is no guarantee that in the next 2years IEO will still be the better choice for fundraising projects,every technology ever created takes time to get better but for now investors should play safe by staying away from IEO projects from new exchanges

If you invest ICO or IEO, If project not good or their pre-plan to do scam people they can do any time and any where. We need to research first before doing any invest any ICO or IEO. Now a days lot of project just come for money and then they scam and vanish.

This is not that surprising to me because I already knew that it would get to that point and that scammer would really have a very nice time with it because we have lots of people that are quite too greedy and too impatient to fall for it. We already know that these low exchanges would never do due diligence like these top exchanges would do because they are not after the protection of their name, they are just after the money that they will make out of these scam or low quality projects.

For IEO, I think people have option to fall or not fall into scam unlike ICO, for IEO, the best option not to fall into scam is just for them to go for IEO that are on these top exchanges like Binance, Huobi and all the other reputable exchanges that are listed in the market.

Just as important as fund raising for every crypto project might be, most especially for development of product, priority needs to be placed on the integrity of the team. That is the only way you can be sure that your invested fund is safe.
I have seen trusted team and I have those on the other side too. Make sure they are keeping to their words and that shows you are good to go with them.

I won't recommend to take part in IEOs on exchanges like Latoken, Probit or Bitforex, because such exchanges are manipulating the sales and when it says that an IEO was sold out, in fat there were only several hundred dollars sold. Be aware and take part in IEOs only on proven exchanges.

IEO peojects from popular exchanges are the best,their popularity and reputations is enough to push the IEO projects to its success,investors should focus on exchanges like binance,gate.io,huobi,okex etc for IEO investment rather than low exchanges with lower volumes,only few IEOs became successful on exchanges with mediocre rating like latoken and the rest

Of course investors will be interested in choosing IEO in large exchanges like BINANCE.  Only novice investors are victims of nonsense and unclear news who invest in IEO in low-volume exchanges.

It is not only Novice that are risks of getting scammed but every potential investors, Binance have also run several IEOs that ended up dying few days after trading is enabled, do you think it is only novices that invested in them. The best way is for all exchanges to make sure they don't list shitty or scam projects.

Quite frankly, I have not been impressed with some exchanges when it comes to IEOs especially IDAX, Bitforex, Latoken and Exmarkets. They seem to have little or low standards on the projects they pick and most times IEO investors end up on the loosing sides after IEO sales. I think investors should be careful with their investments else they will loose more

actually all the exchanges that are either low ranking or high rank have the same potential related to fraud in IEO, only for those exchanges that have high rank they will maintain their popularity when they will cooperate with developers who will launch the IEO program, at least the few investors feel more secure and trust high exchange rates.

Yes, if investors only use hysteria and hype, it might end up in vain. Risk is unavoidable, even though IEO is carried out on a large exchange, then investors need to be careful. The popularity of the exchange is effective enough to attract investor confidence, if supported by projects and good strategies, it will be profitable. dwyor

Post by: dongosquad on August 11, 2019, 11:58:46 PM
Fraudsters always use various methods to cheat. Currently, Ieo is quite popular, and fraudsters try to use it. The safest way to avoid that is to choose a trusted global exchange such as binance. A binary-class global exchange will not arbitrarily accept ieo cooperation, in order to maintain credibility. Although there is no 100% guarantee that there is a success, it can at least reduce risk.


Title: Re: Scammers are focusing on IEO Funds
Post by: guoyu78 on August 13, 2019, 06:23:55 PM
We all know that IEO is one of the safest means of fundraising currently and there is no fear of losing funds to scammers, since the fund raising are being conducted by trusted exchanges and not a random company, so the way scammers try to enter the market these days is through the launch of exchanges with so many promises in order to get people on-board who will thereafter be scammed of their name while buying fake IEOs from these exchanges and then this exchanges make away with huge amount of funds that was raised via these IEOs.

There could be some exceptions on every safety precautions and preventing measurements like even highly secured exchanges are getting hacked and we are hearing that through out the history of cryptos. So, being cautious against scams and always spending more time for doing our own due diligence are high recommended.

As expected where these scammers would jump on where the hype is.IEO is now their target yet they know that most people already following it.
I cant see a point why an investor would include into its option on investing on IEO into small unknown projects?

For now, its much wiser if we do just focus on Binance or other top exchange IEO than risking into smaller ones.


Title: Re: Scammers are focusing on IEO Funds
Post by: odukoyaewatomi27 on August 14, 2019, 07:28:19 PM
I agree with your point. I say it that the only reason why IEO was able to work was because it started on very reputable exchanges which guarantees the legality of the project. These small exchanges don't have the reputation and integrity to do the same, so investing in IEOs on small exchanges is at the investors risk.
