There are lots of things that you should look out for when you are trying to avoid ICO scams. You should always look out for the icos which never seem to have a face behind their projects. Also look at the social media profiles of these team members, especially their linkedin to make sure that they have the projects listed on their profiles. If two of these things are missing then you know you are dealing with scammers.

Awareness is the original key to any fraud. View channels, resources and specialists to parse SCAM. Learn, watch. Draw a checklist. but even observing all the points above does not always help. And it's logical - one way or another there will be some number of coins, something scam that simply can not pass on

Avoiding ICO scam may not be that easy but sincerely, there are myriads of ways to protect yourself from being scammed. Those ways might not be 100% effective, but somehow they can help sieve out some scam ICOs. One of which is: any ICO that lacks good product to deliver, don't invest. It shows they just want to jump into the market, they won't last.

In fact, it is impossible to 100% know that the project is not scam. But I could give you a couple of tips.
1. Check the information, look at the developers, do they have experience, or do the team's data coincide with real people.
2. Constantly analyze the information that will be in ISO. For example: if the project reports that it was listed in some exchange, then check it. This is not difficult.
But this is not enough to protect yourself from scammers, but I tried, at least.

I do not think that you can hope for anyone other than yourself. You should always be on your guard and with the minor doubt dont have to deal with projects or investors in which you are not 100 percent sure. i think, the ICO scam is not a large hazard, but there are a lot of scammers with phishing emails and posts in social networks

I thınk you can't evade trick ICO's whether it is in your confidence Cheesy in light of the fact that they can look genuine and following a half year past of their ico they can state we are done we can't convey this item in light of this in view of that bla.. You can ensure this circumstance with blockchain or nothing else. In the event that you are not an unsafe individual you have to go ahead with BTC LTC and Eth or great demonstrated altcoins.

Only participate  in the bounties  which are managed by  sr.  Members, legendry members or hero.  These bounties cannot be a scam.  See the activity, merit and trust of the bounty manager.

It is too mush to find out which ICO is scam but before joining any ICO you should research about the project. Beside you can select the best manager, see the activity, merit, trust, etc of the manager.

Probably the most important thing is not to think that you can make money quickly in crypto-currencies. This is not true and you can not do it quickly, no matter how much you want it, you just have to understand it once and for all. This world is full of risks, but not such as it is in crypto-currencies.

You cant avoid scam ICOs, only if you do not invest into them.
I think that this bear market will have big impact on many ICOs and many scammers will be discouraged due to bad situation.

For get a small idea about the project, you should learn each team member belongs to ICO. Because, you cannot understand whether if a project is scam or not by looking on the project or  on its website only.

You can avoid only the ICO scam if you are a keen observer and do your research if about that ICO project you want to invest or if you are a bounty hunter in joining that project for bounty. Read the white paper and also take a look for the details . After your research if you think it is suspicious then don't be involved in that ICO project because there is a big possibility that it is a scam.

To avoid scam ICOs, you will need to adhere to the following strict measures:

1. Don't join ICOs without social media pages such as FB and telegram.
2. Don't join ICOs of individuals, only join ICOs of reputable and trustworthy companies with a formidable team. Eg.https://viola.ai/?r=5a2d62cf2225  
3. Join ICOs with a full product already rolled out and not one with non-functioning product.
4. If an ICO has an unusually plenty air-drops and generous bonuses, then it's a possible scam.

Sometimes it's very difficult to distinguish fraudulent ICOs, because scammers also know how to talk about them so that no one suspects anything. Therefore, participation in the ICO is always a huge risk.

Probably before investing in ico, everyone gets acquainted with the white paper, gets acquainted with the road map, assess the polestnost of this project, and much more

I think you should be more focus on their white paper there are some information that you can get regarding to their project, and also gather information to their team.
