Of everything that people say is the right way to analyze ICO fraud features. We must know two things, namely good ICO characteristics and fraud to be more complete and not easily trapped. I am personally more likely to see from the Team because in my opinion the Team is the person who determines everything from the project.

Yes, the team of the project is a factor that can handle everything. If they have enough power, they can make the most unnecessary presence valuable. You should also do research on the forum and other places. You can surely find something if ICO is scam.

Always do your own research about the project but if you are new on crypto then I suggest you to seek advice from experts or if you have friends that has a wide knowledge on this space. Most of the people get scammed because of their laziness on reviewing the details about the team and the project.

I think that first of all you need to study well the project team and large investors who are planning to invest in the project. If the project team is suspicious, you would not advise you to invest in this project.

Please tell me how to known a scam ICO to protect myself
BTW now i should buy ICO coin or buy coin on exchange?
Thank so much

This is an easy one, if project mention it's an ICO, then will be scam, if it isn't scam in that monet it will be scam in the future, and that's because the nature of icos made them that way. More than 90% of ICOs already run with the money. So be careful.

What i've noticed is fakers are usually using ready made sites. If their site is built on a common, free template, and you can see it doesn't have a lot of features and nobody paid for making it, you can smell a scam. A legit dev team won't be afraid to invest their money into the project.
Next thing I usually notice is the fake pictures. If the pictures of their team members were taken from other sites you can expect a scam as well. If you are planning to put fake pictures, it's better not to include them at all.
Any fake info should disqualify the project, like a fake address, fake picture of an office or the office building, company registered at a common address used by many other businesses, where they're just renting a room to be able to post a location. Check everything.
I have interest of reading your post but I don't think not all people can understand some part of your statement

** If their site is built on a common, free template, and you can see it doesn't have a lot of features and nobody paid for making it, you can smell a scam** is agreed but those mere persons in crypto may not able to study all project pictures and make comparison to see  that he found those same pictures in the other site. But creating a platform to be checking that will be the best solution so that any fake project found is banned and announcement can also make other social medias to alert bounty Hunter.

Very well said, even these ICO's already succeed into their sale then sooner or later they would just still end up on the same path like dumping
all the way to the floor.

There might be some coins which do succeed and climb up on rankings but 98% of them would really end up dying so I don't still consider them to be legit.

I think that it is still better to buy coins and tokens only on the exchange, since the cost of them during the ICO itself will be higher, and most often the cost is much higher.

If everything to their team together with the developer or the owner are anonymous, well you better think about that.
Or avoid it immediately. Then, check the WP(whitepaper) if is fake or not. And I suggest you to buy altcoins in the exchange rather than
ICO, because of it are really dangerous to invest in it.

There is a lot of ICO project scam at the moment and I think it's easy to recognize it. You can find a lot of scam ICO project in the Social and at the website tokentops.com. And at the bad market at the moment, you should not invest in ICO, please buy the top coins like BTC, ETH and hold until the next year.

To find out the fake ICO and what I have done is checking. What I check like Sites, Teams, and on social media channels. They must have a very experienced team and active social media accounts. I tried to join the telegram channel and they had to have an active team. If they kick us from the telegram channel because they ask when the coin will be sent, I think it's fake.

Every can be fake smoothly when they create an ICO project.
The best way to avoid Scam ICO nowaday is buy token of the
 project, which is supported by big exchange sites such as binance.com.

Scammers are getting wise and always look for new ways to attract investors, this is my DONT s
1) I will never invest in any ICO or projects with anonymous developers or teams
2)if teams are available on website I always use picture tracking tools to search the pictures ,who knows you might detect that the pictures of the teams are stolen identities
3)the project must have a working product backing it up ,not just unrealistic promises

You should always read the most important document of any project, the whitepaper. In a scam projects the team members are too lazy to write a good one. Moreover, I would look at the product and the community numbers.

most times it is almost impossible to tell which is a scam ICO and that has made most people to become very inquisitive about any ICO related project and also become over careful with those coming to scout for funds to enable them carry out projects. always ensure to read the details of the team and make enough research to find out

Check more deeply about their ico concept and also see if they have a team that is indeed genuine or fake. because most of the ico from the team they cheat and manipulate

You better see in advance in terms of the team from the project. Because many fake projects use photos of other people to be included in the team. This should be avoided before investing. It's better to invest in ICO than in exchange. Because you definitely get a bonus from investing in the ICO.

Right now it is just a risk ,
I mean every ICO could fail and every ICO could be a scam,
It is the risk of an ICO investor.
It is hard to tell if the ICO is a scam or if it would survive.
