Post by: andulolika on April 16, 2020, 12:12:39 AM It is as it always has been, you using it to shitpost.
I do agree with you that a lot of them look real but seeing scams icos and coins for so many years it is quite hard to believe more than a handfull of projects are of any future. Edit: To be honest, this is insane. Like who offers such services for just $20? Well it's a good thing that the ICO market got naturally shutdown due to the decline in the investors patronizing them generally.now i understand the reason why we always see thousands of new start up projects without any real life solutions just a plagiarized whitepaper and a fancy whitepaper When doing something simple to do, cheaply, price fall down naturally just as ICO's, as you saying.Edit2: How the hell a newbie "always" complains about ico?

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: cryptonewbie on April 16, 2020, 12:34:59 AM This here is one of the reasons we ended up with 70% scam ICOs between 2017 and 2018. It is so easy to build a template website while plagiarizing whitepapers. For as low as $50, scammers can cash out millions siphoned from unsuspecting investors all in a short period of time. I am glad that this disgusting trend has been nipped in the bud finally.

Post by: TIDOVEE on April 16, 2020, 12:49:31 AM Every where there is business transaction that involves my money, you don't need to know how scams or fraud erupts. It is usually some greedy people's habit to take advantage of whatever is catching people's attention to making money. And with the knowledge of technology people can easily build the project site to decieve and get people down. And that's why we need every details to recognize them.

Scammers are doing this for a long time because of the ease of creating a token and launching an ICO. The total cost for launching an ICO perfectly is below than $500 and scammers are taking that chance.
It is true that it is not easy to detect ICO fraud or not but it is not that hard. Very few scam ICO are well planned. If investor takes a deeper look at everything, it is easy to decide whether it is scam or not. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: chip1994 on April 16, 2020, 03:53:36 AM I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud! In fact, this is part of the market and it is indispensable. If it's one of the really good and international projects, why not raise capital in a centralized market and need an ICO in a decentralized market? more than 95% of ICO projects with high rewards are fraudulent projects today. This is also a big part of the decentralized financial market because no one can guarantee the security of your assets. So when investing, think carefully. Especially in the current economic situation, we can not make a lot of money during this period.on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !! and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens! with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects ????????? https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token (https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token) imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: Reid on April 16, 2020, 04:04:35 AM We cannot complain about those jobs that we took.
We picked them. It is not them who picked us. At the end, it is our choice. If they fail to make the right amount from the offering then so be it. They will vanish. But don't lose hope. Maybe someday you will find the right ICO that will make you some good money. We cannot blame others from making a wrong decision. Researching deep will only be the answer for picking the right project that you will support. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

Scammers are doing this for a long time because of the ease of creating a token and launching an ICO. The total cost for launching an ICO perfectly is below than $500 and scammers are taking that chance. Fraud among ICO projects will go away when states begin to regulate this type of activity, that is, the relevant state authorities will check and register the team of each ICO project, and possibly issue licenses for this type of activity. Then it will be easy to apply to such a team in court at the place of registration, because everything will be official. In the meantime, the period of the wild west continues in the activities of ICO projects. However, sooner or later, it will end in vain.It is true that it is not easy to detect ICO fraud or not but it is not that hard. Very few scam ICO are well planned.

Post by: michellee on April 16, 2020, 04:50:04 AM The scammers will do anything they can to trick people, and not just using that way. Sometimes, they use email, promotion, or even send a gift to many people to attract them to participate in their project. But unfortunately, that is a big trap to get big money that will be sending their money to that scammer. That link is one of many examples for someone that is trying to open doors to someone to use that way to trick the people, and maybe, there is many more like that which we don't know.

Do you think that this is still new here already. Oh I forgot, you're the new here since you are a newbie ranked :P.
imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers At first place, why are the investors are getting scammed when they invest on a new project? Because they aren't doing their own research and they are just investing because that is what they saw in the internet. Because these are the projects who is the noisiest in different social media platforms. Because they saw some popular crypto enthusiasts saying something about their project.What lies beyond that things are the facts that they will just scam you because scamming in an ICO right now is very easy as long as you know how to attract investors. What is the best thing to do to prevent this?? Don't fooking invest on these new projects and focus on investing on old coins. Is this really hard to do or understand?? There are many established and trusted coins out there already. Why do they need to invest in these fooking new projects. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

Post by: blockman on April 16, 2020, 02:20:31 PM As time goes by, investors are learning from the past. The reduction of interested people investing to ICO was massive. They've learned a lot from the known bear market 2 years ago and it became helpful to determine the scam and fraud projects.
We can't handle those people who are selling service to create tokens but, if these greedy people stop thinking of availing that service then these developers might stop offering too.

Other than that, the majority of ICO and its behavior will give a lot of profit although it is just for short term investment. I only saw, there is a few project that held some ICOs or IEOs who successfully launched and have a real function for this world at least in the future.

Post by: demonica on April 16, 2020, 02:39:50 PM There are numerous fraudulent projects that seems real and it is the reason why we should look for potential red flags before investing into ICO projects. It is never easy to identify scams, but there are different ways to check if it's real. Searching for information about the person behind the project and examining the whitepaper, since it has the information about the project that can possibly help you determine if it is worth the money.

Post by: lousie9 on April 16, 2020, 05:37:59 PM ICO fraud has been around a long time, projects like this will continue to appear around us and will never disappear in this industry. Scamers generally always have many ways to fool their victims, and maybe he thinks that ICO is an effective way for fraud with only a small capital of $ 50 like ICO Desaign looks real and then uses the Erc20 platform that can be easily used by anyone.

Yes, I do believe that as well. Many investors are now very careful in investing their money. That's why a lot of ICO or even IEO projects are having hard time in raising their funds. Very few can reach up to their soft cap targets. People learned their lessons well from fraudulent ICO projects. And I know a lot of them already stop investing money on this. As you can see, it is better to participate when they are already in trading rather than during their pre-ico or ico stages, because you will find out that their value decreases, even couple of weeks that they are in exchanges. Also, even if someone reported that a project is a scam, they can't get their money back anymore because the team already disappeared or can't be reached. I don't think they will ever return the funds to their investors, if they failed to achieve their goals. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

There are projects that spends as much as a million dollars to even start their project and they could turn out to be scams as well because they get insane amount of return on their investments.
You could simply use a million dollars to hire the best whitepaper writer, greatest coders that are willing to work for money, insane designers that can build unbelievable images, some awesome marketing department and use the rest to promote it with ADS and bounties and so forth to get even more community behind it.

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: Kezacky on April 17, 2020, 07:52:58 AM yes such an offer is indeed very bad for the reputation of the ICO, although we cannot blame those who offer the services of ICO makers, but with such services, Scamers will never stop to buy desaign, Whitepapper ICO to deceive its investors. need to be careful before choosing or investing in any project.

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: bitgolden on April 17, 2020, 02:37:33 PM When you use fake team, free website stuff (hell a .blogspot would do) and stolen whitepaper and just focus on getting as many scammers as you can to your real team and go out there and try to convince as many people as you can, you literally spend less than 100 dollars yet I can guarantee you that you will make thousands of dollars in return. Why? Because when you do an ICO there are just too many people who do not do research at all, their only research is you, the person they are talking to, whatever you tell them they take it at face value and go with it and sometimes they invest hundreds of dollars as well.
You can't get too big that way, you could only make some thousands of dollars and not millions like the real ICO's make, but its still a great return on investment for a scammer.

There are lots of scam project, but I think those that takes their time to go through the ICOs to know what's right and wrong will be able to point out whether an ICO is legit or not, and you should always learn from the experience of others and read articles that can help you in identifying scam projects. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: forexandcryptoauditor on April 17, 2020, 07:29:27 PM Yes. This could be the reason behind growth of fraud ICOs, but not primary. Nowadays it's very easy to acquire such cheap services from freelancers and the desired design with all essentials for ponzy ICOs. It's really good that the days are now gone for ICOs and for IEOs two parties should get involved to scam which are projects and exchanges. People are now very much aware of such scams and this is reducing to some extent.
Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: rexxarofmoknathal on April 17, 2020, 08:56:24 PM Any industry in which it is easy to steal peoples money will see it happen.
When it comes to fiat currencies, it's practically impossible to rob someone and get away with it, even if you're doing a fiat crowdfunding campaign or the like. With cryptocurrencies, that's not the case. People who run scam ICOs can simply funnel their illicit gains through mixers and anonymous trading platforms to get their money out, and absolutely nobody is going to invest to time and resources required to track them down. That's life. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: adzino on April 17, 2020, 11:11:42 PM I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud! Let me honest over here. People complain only when they don't get their rewards or manage to make profit. I bet most of the people wouldn't even care if a project was scam or not as long as they got their share of profit. They wouldn't careless if the project did not proceed forward and abandoned as long as they managed to sell their tokens to cash out their profit. This is not about the project for them, this is more about the money they will be making.on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !! and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens! with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects ????????? https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token (https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token) imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers If a person gets scammed because investing on those shitty project, then good.

Post by: Yamifoud on April 17, 2020, 11:19:57 PM I believe your complaint is right and it is rampant in the market. To the fact that we can't deny this thing that is why we need to find a way in order to be safe and not been fooled by these scammers. Besides, this scamming activity isn't new to crypto (maybe in you) and we are already aware of this but somehow the awareness has just been ignored by many because of a very attractive reward that scammers has been played. If we are blinded by these (broken) promises it surely we are the ones who's been their victim.

It will be hard to eliminate them and the only thing we can do is to avoid them as much as we can. It will be hard since it is unknown to everyone on how to determine the real and those good to be a real project, but at least bounty hunters should give more time to investigate and locate those fraud projects.

Indeed, if the ICO team uses videos from various conferences in its presentation, it will only increase the confidence of investors in the project.

The only thing that keeps them winning is the newborn babies who have joined the world of cryptocurrency without any good idea of the ways these guys operate. Let's be more careful about the offers these guys bring onboard and we should be more less greedy. Greediness is the major causes of these victims in the hands of the fraudsters.

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: mdzahed134 on April 19, 2020, 03:36:13 PM I hope there is no new ICO that popping up again. Basically yes, the scammer will help to ask some easy services to scammed the people here. Now no one will invest in an ICO because they know it's a scam. They will never waste money and time on such bullshit projects. Right now IEO is the best option for people to invest in to earn a profit, but we should only join IEO at the leading exchanges in this market to ensure safety.Other than that, the majority of ICO and its behavior will give a lot of profit although it is just for short term investment. I only saw, there is a few project that held some ICOs or IEOs who successfully launched and have a real function for this world at least in the future. But most of them only gone to the trash and being shitcoin. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: palle11 on April 19, 2020, 05:13:47 PM This is not a new things.

The total cost for launching an ICO perfectly is below than $500 and scammers are taking that chance. It is true that it is not easy to detect ICO fraud or not but it is not that hard. Very few scam ICO are well planned. If investor takes a deeper look at everything, it is easy to decide whether it is scam or not. It is not enough for us to keep saying it is not a new thing while ills keep going on here against innocent hunters trying to support project and get paid too. We can move ahead further to check this scammers by starting from those bounty mismanagers who have been flagged for running scam bounties. The forum can ban them and gradually scamming will reduce because it is really out of control. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: Starfranko on April 19, 2020, 05:32:56 PM I would agree with you after going through the gig.

In 2018 when ICO give us unstoppable scam/dead projects people thought IEO is the solution for that. And now IEO is running the same direction because of many shit exchanges.

Well that's exactly why there's such thing called white paper or such for the potential investors to review first before giving away their money to the project. The investors should know the thing or understand the project before investing and that a must, that one investor who usually just slacking around will have the consequences although I hope there's better solution to that.Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: Nnuego on April 22, 2020, 02:17:17 PM This is the main reason why I don't like investing in running ICO project because of scam. I do prefer already trading project that has strong team and potential. I can't afford losing money for fraudulent project that only spent penny in making the project

There are lots of them, having a white paper don't exactly appear to be a guarantee that something good will come out of the project, infact, white paper is not the issue, the team are, some of the dev team often let their greed get the better of them, money has alot of power if you don't know, if you are not dedicated to the cause, you can easily get carried away with the money you earned for the development of the project.

Try to find out anything suspicious from that project. Some legitimate review coming from experience users will us to convince that it's another from of scam projects. The deeper you research the more chance that you will not end up with nothing and just waste another effort and time. You can rely on previous real projects on how they execute their project and documents. Some whitepaper are just copy-paste in other project and team behind them is not real.

Post by: Kezacky on April 26, 2020, 05:59:47 PM Scammers are feeding fat while we are swimming in loss that is the stories of ICO in the past. I guess the rate of scam has reduced drastically over time thank God for every individuals that are taking their time to analysed projects before engaging in it. Scamers feed their victims in various ways, especially about high rewards and it always happens whether through ICO, airdrops or faucets. I feel that ICO fraud has not diminished and instead has become even more rampant. it is important for you to be more thorough before joining any project and not expect high rewards from the ICO project.Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

So bullshit projects like before certainly will not be able to deceive investorsTitle: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: DU18 on April 26, 2020, 06:15:58 PM I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud! One of the ways for fraudsters to get money from victims is by offering investments that have small capital but provide high yields, and even beyond human logic, but that is of course humans are greed become a weakness that is easy to be used by fraudsters, I think we have to be careful in every mode of fraud today because if we are tempted by what the fraudsters offer, of course we will only get into trouble, and also lose the money we have.on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !! and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens! with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects ????????? https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token (https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token) imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers Of course, before we make an investment, it's better to check with details about what they offer and don't easily believe the swindler's sweet promises. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: tycsols on April 26, 2020, 06:16:09 PM Haha even i saw one similar service at the marketplace section of this forum too, i think scamming and begging are the two easiest forms of getting easy money without doing anything yourself and i even categorize ponzi schemes, mlm programs and other similar projects, where there is no real business or revenue generation and just the money is circulated from one hand to the other, as scams.
Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: JungleOnion on April 29, 2020, 08:45:48 PM The main reason is lack of regulation. The industry needs safety standards that allow only validated startups to open ICO sales. Up to this date, anyone can make an ICO and is up to you to believe in the project and invest.
Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: ife2020 on April 30, 2020, 11:28:03 AM Fraudulent projects are always rampant, here and there; maybe perhaps you did not take notice.
But recently, fraudulent projects are enormous due to the impending bitcoin halving coming soon; several frauds want to take advantage of the general pump that follows altcoins after bitcoin moons. It is up to investors to do their research, and choose the best amongst the valid projects. There will be more projects as the halving draws even closer.

I think that regulation can be considered as the side factor but the main must be the bullish trend that happened with crypto has already made so many scammers were trying to fool the crypto users.

Post by: fullhdpixel on May 01, 2020, 06:55:08 AM I don’t really know for you, but scammers are not really new thing for me. Anywhere I go online, as long as it’s business and money that is being discussed , I’m always sure to expect scammers, it’s up to me to know the right thing to do and avoid them as much as possible. So, don’t act like it’s a new thing, because it has always been like that, there have been a lot of them right from beginning. The more the number of ICO projects continues to grow, the more there will be scam projects.
Most of them now are trying to make it look real, but still it’s only those who are dumb that falls for it. You shouldn’t rush into anything you see online, you have to be skeptic at first, take your time to research them and know who they are and what their project is all about.

Post by: ameliana on May 01, 2020, 05:57:15 PM yes, no wonder why many ico projects that use the erc20 platform end in fraud, because we know that making tokens using the erc20 smart platform is very easy. on the other hand this can also be an opportunity for fraud through ico + token erc20. Beware because scamers always have ways to commit fraud.

We have to look very closely to see which ICO is better positioned in a good market but in 2017 and 2018 there is a high probability of 75% scam project. Market value is too low but I think these projects is not good of ico project. There are many projects we need to learn from ico crypto market, the market to snatch money from ico project so the main symptom is need to learn find out the better ico project.

Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: Ozero on May 06, 2020, 05:27:37 AM The main reason for the large number of fraudulent ICO projects remains the absence of any regulation of this type of activity by the states. If states register, leave copies of personal documents of the ICO team and verify them, fraud among ICOs will practically disappear. Over time, it should be so. After all, fraud in all states is a crime and law enforcement agencies are required to prevent their commission.

I always say here,,, do not blame the technology, ERC20 and Ethereum and basically any other smart contract platform have done things that made previously complicated matters like tokenization and fundraising very easy, we should be happy for that.

The crypto space has been so open to having allowed this right from the beginning. Since it is a decentralized system where no one or no centralized body that would help curb some of these things is not available, then such is bound to happen. HAd it been the contract of Ethereum network is created in such a way that funds will be held in a safe place without the developer has full access to it before certain criteria are met, it would have been avoided. Well, I think there was a time Vitalik said he was going to work on that and that if investors want to take back their money before the end of the token sale and I case any suspicious activity is noticed, they can take what they paid back.

We have IEO now, but I prefer IEO with Binance because it has more chances of success with good quality projects, I guess all of the projects that conduct IEO on Binance are unique and top-notch. IEO from low volume exchange are not advisable. Those ICO cannot raise a decent amount anymore even legit projects cannot raise at least softcap in short ICO is dead.

Post by: wxxyrqa on May 08, 2020, 04:29:38 PM There are no sufficiently developed structures or companies on the cryptocurrency market that would control the development of new projects. If we are talking about fraud on the cryptocurrency market, then this is a criminal activity of scammers and should be prosecuted, according to the Criminal Code of a country. but for this it is necessary to create opportunities so that there is a real registration of all new projects with real names of those people who are engaged in development. Based on this, the number of fraudsters can be reduced significantly, and thereby protect investors from loss of funds.
Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: cepot9 on May 08, 2020, 04:58:22 PM Investors should still provide opportunities for projects if they are not successful in the first year, but at least the project will continue and have a future. That is what the community and investors want. But now the ICO project is just junk scattered in the cryptocurrency community that continues to commit fraud.
This is very detrimental to new projects that are really serious about building projects but do not get the support of the community and investors because trust has been damaged by the fraudsters.

I don't care about what the scammer paid to get his shitty website done. if any sales are not initiated on a reputable exchange am not ever going to pay attention to such a project. if only people can learn and not keep falling in the traps of these scammers.

Post by: beveryu778 on May 11, 2020, 06:38:01 AM Project scam has been happening for a long time, and they continue to grow until now. We can't complain in a situation like this, instead they teach us how to choose projects that are truly real, they offered us services to join their ICO, while we choose their program. If we are not smart and careful when choosing, then we will always be stuck in a scam project. Yes I completely agree with you, project scam has been happening since from very long time and now most of the people has learnt very well how to differentiate a scam project and real one. Also their are several people present here and those are working towards this situation to find the scammers. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

The problem is, investors are easily persuaded by a good white-paper, credible team (which is usally fake), a good web design, and good investment return promises. That is why conducting a research before investing is a must, if you can join any of their social group such as telegram, twitter, fb or any platform where you can ask questions directly to the team, do so. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? Post by: reallester on May 11, 2020, 07:31:44 AM I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud! lon the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !! and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens! with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects ????????? https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token (https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token) imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers This is sure to continue if diligent researches are not made on the projects before investing. Aside from research, fraudulent projects can also win the heart of investors by providing huge bonuses. If Greed is also shunned, I believe fraudulent projects will decrease. Don't invest in a project based on hearsays. Or other people's research and analysis. Carry out yours! Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

It's hard to find out a good ICO at this time. Most investors believe in winged words of ICO project and invest in it. It's how they lose. Don't believe in winged words, believe in what you see, how they develop and delivery production out Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?

You obviously have not really mingled online with people who invest! They don't even really need a whitepaper or do their own due diligence. They just look up a rating on ICObench, look for a few youtubers and even just listen to Mcafee or Molina. People are people. They believe in dreams and fast returns. Sad but they don't even really care or understand about whitepapers or teams. Title: Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant?
