A few days ago, while investing in ICO, my precious Ether was scammed
I came up with an idea.

If you have a scam address, it would be very helpful if you register with the report function on the site.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Etherscam.info collects scam address of ethereum (including stolen/hijacked address).
We plan to provide APIs to be used in wallets or exchanges to prevent scam in real time and money laundering.

Do you think this project is meaningful?

This proves nothing. Anybody can make any claim, the dollars in your wallet can be stolen by someone too.
It is better if you do not sent your Ether to a scammer. Prevention is better than cure.

If I'm not mistaken, MyEtherWallet has created a solution for avoiding phishing and scams. They call this solution as the EtherAddressLookup. This is a Chrome extension where it detects whether the domain you're clicking is a phishing site or the ETH wallet that you are sending your balance to is used for a scam or fraudulent activities. You can download it directly on MyEtherWallet or download it in Chrome using this link. It's free to use and you do not have to pay any subscription fee to them to use their Ethereum address checker.

Can you explain how you will decide which projects are scams and which are not? Because you possibly can ban even a non-scam project, it would be a pity.
