Most of the ICO's are shit.
The best way to know that an ICO is legit, is seeing that the team already has a working product (for example, BitDice has a running casino for 3 years, and now they come with an ICO). And, what Whipsplash says: the more info you can find beside their webpage, the less likely it is that is is a scam.
i see, thanks for your info

Something I found very helpful was joining their telegram/slack channels. I feel nowadays people tend to ask more specific and detailed questions to make sure the team are legit/have a plan. I think it gives some valuable info by looking at the teams responses and by the questioners response to the answer! Even if you don't know what questions to ask yourself, observe others

according to your questions and statements I will answer it, with the recent frequent occurrence of ICO which turns out they are cheats. I am also really confused to find a gap that can prove that ico is scam, maybe my advice we have to look in detail about it from the team and their social media accounts. by looking at their team's preview of the truth of the ICO they are building.

Sad to say but for me it is hard to tell if an ICO is a scam because they are now smarter and they are just posting good things about their ico and most of them had a very good introduction of their product or coin and that makes other people invest on their coin but for me, it is better to just be careful in investing in ICO because sometimes we don't know if it is going to turn out as a scam or not so just invest what you can afford to lose.

I recommend to check the whole of the project if you want to avoid a scam. from start whitepaper, internal team members. if the whole check and it was convincing maybe the project is arguably not a scam and ready to follow to participate.

The only way to know if it's not a scam, is to see if they have a working product, or at least a prototype of it. See the quality of the code, or ask an analyst to do this. Most ICOs have only a white paper. This may not mean it is a scam, but a potential bad investment.

if the the icos pre tokensale accept cash as payment or through credit card and not on cryptocurrency payments like ethereum or bitcoin, that ICOs are suspicious and not only through whitepapers, roadmaps and dev teams we could check its legitimacy but also their engagement to other notable establishments or some partnerships with mainstream media.

So many new ICO, and they all have new idea and tech listed on their webpages,
and even the websites use the same template...
but so many new ICO, how to check if it's scam, or worth to invest...
We can check from their communication with members at social media ( FB, TW, Telegram ) and also their performance day by day. Their communication channel is the easy way to check how they built trust with members. If there's so many members problem can't solve by support team ( cs ) that become main indicator not to replace your money with their project. After that you can see their performance from news update and how much fund they get. That all and thank you.

right, look at what has been done by the project developer team that you are interested in because it will be seen if a project is the right goal then they must have made a good result program is still beta or already running.

Always do a research or ask people who has an idea about the reputation of the particular ICO, also read the whitepaper of the ICO. Almost 90% of the ICOs are scam so better watch your step when investing in one.

There have been lots of ICOs, maybe we can't know and be certain of about their success and result but it is not so difficult to understand which are real, which are spam. Just more research and some experience.

in choosing ICO. you should consider sharing various aspects, such as the managing team, the vision / mission and the allocation of funds they offer.

This is why doing research is the best thing to do when you are planning to invest on ICO because this thing will really help you out if you are putting on a scam or not.Choosing the potential ones is the hardest part on these kind of investment specially there are lots of projects to choose from as of now. If you are careless on selecting on them for sure you will end up on losing money.

Questions like this have been asked not once or twice but several times. The onus is on you as an individual to go ahead and do your research and be able to discern things on your own before taking decisions about investing or not and thank goodness paying campaign participants to post in the ANN thread is being discontinued so one is expected to see some objective comments there and that is a way to start.

Research. No way to be 100% certain, but read whitepapers, talk to devs, etc. The less info you can find, the greater likelihood of a scam.
I would also to this comment to check on the team, check if they LinkedIn profiles and if they do, what kind of experience they have.

Make sure the team has demonstrable software to prove that they can actually develop.
Most ICOs have nothing to show in this regard. Some have code at Github but it's meaningless if you cannot run the software to see how good or useful it is.
If they cannot prove that they can develop software, then the team members' fancy titles, bios or CVs are meaningless at best, fraudulent at worst.

It seems like there's a new ICO just about everyday or two. It is very difficult to follow all of them. I usually look for something in a project that I would actually use in real life and if a token or coin is really necessary to keep the platform going. Some ICO's are just out to milk your money and no one would actually use it when the platform is released. Just do lots of research before investing.
