Yes it is. But here some additional way I'm using to detect scams. When you've made your own research try to make tricky questions about ICO and ask them to the ICO managers or to the team directly. This questions could concern to any side of the project: jurisdiction, roadmap, technics, use case, tokens distribution, listing at exchanges (this is mostly private information) and so on.

The capitalasisation is a good information too.
If the number of coins that multiply the ICO price is highe than major existing coins (for example then 10 first) : you are very probably in front of a scam.
Unfornately, there is a lot af scams.
