Better tell another person about that project so you and your friend not got scammed. Also post about that project in forum like bitcointalk or redit or any other crypto related forum. Make sure you have enough evidence to tell that project really scam not just some accusation with out proof

If I saw that the project is fraudulent, then I would create about the topic on bitcointalk and would try to draw attention to this problem

If I see a scam(but I cant say that this is totally scam, for example some ICO - it cant be scam before the team takes money and leave investors alone)
I go to the topic on bitcointalk and ask some questions about the project. And all who reads the answers make their own decision depending on what they see. I think this is the best way to clear out the scam coins

I haven't report such scams as I'm not good at scam busting but I'm helping through informing other community members if there's an ICO who turned out to be a scam. When there are people / newbies who are promoting their coins and if it has a scam accusation just tell others that its not a good one to trust with your money.
Do you just ignore and go on to the next one?
I'm not ignoring it but if there's a post on Scam Accusations just give the link to those people who are promoting those ICO's.

I am spreading the awareness to the whple bountyalk community,so i would be able to protect these new users coming it to our community and for those who are lazy to get some researching.A lot of people here doesnt really read news,but if they have heard something negative they will do panic selling that can result to bloodbaths,the best thing for you to do is to start a thread and then spread words!

It better to make research before putting, maybe because they are part of project so make it research.

Do report scam? Yes l, if i have to. They should be reported because they lack attention. They are to greedy. They want more thats why they scam. So for everyone, be careful to those projects that looks scammy. Dont trust easily. Research about their project thoroughly. Dont get scammed. But if you do. Report it.

If a particular project is a scam, what i do mostly is to use social media of that same project to warn others that are into it and to also raise alarm to intending members or investors.

Nobody actually cares nor listens to scam reports. It's because so many are spamming and trying to discredit competitors.
Of course some project are clearly scams. If anyone offering guaranteed profit aka profit generator - hundred percent it's scam.
We need scam reports on blockchain

It's becoming hopeless. On so many occasions i've tried warning people, making posts and talking in their forums, there three outcomes:

1) The most ideal situation, people listen to you
2) Your post gets deleted/moderated, or actively buried by said coin's puppets
3) People are so invested, they attain bag-holder status, and will do everything to reject your statements and avoid it altogether.

I hope you are not stopping with your efforts. I do have witness similar. But perhaps we have saved for someone some coins and avoided any additional loses. It is so sad to see so many scammers in this economy. It has such a huge potential but new investors are scared already, as they can almost daily read about stolen coins. So education is helpful, and we should make sure all become "crypto fit" and do not fall into any trap.

Just try to make a warn to the community and then we can try to block or ignore that scam project. Rather than only ignore it without made any awareness to the community and then more people can getting scammed by scammers. Just try to make a thread on reddit or here with more explanation why it can be considered as scam project.

Yes of course they deserved to be reported so other people will not waste their time joining on that shit ICO. But some ICO succeed on their project yet the bounty is not given for almost 2mos and the developer keep on promising but in the end no one receive the bounty, so I think better to report on social media.

I try to raise awareness if the project is a complete scam.

But I have been wondering about a different kind of Scam.

I have friends in this Forum which have been here for much longer and have told me about 2 projects which are quite successful and haven't paid at least part of their bounty for MANY MONTHS.

CENTRA- Twitter campaign has been completely ignored.
Utrust- as i understand most of the bounty is unpaid till this day and they actively postponing.

I dont understand why these seemingly successful companies cant pay their bounties, it cant be so hard an moreover is it SCam? and what can we do as a community?

This site can be the most reliable platform to announce scam ICOs. You can pretty much write a post and include your proof as well to justify why or how was the ICO a scam then people will decide whether it is or not then the community will recognize it as one, depending on the outcome. But be careful with your judgment, you might be accused of something.

There are so many fake ICOs nowdays, and very often it is not obvious that some project is scam. So if I can not be sure in my opinion I will not say anything to other community members.
And the devs will also do everything to save the reputation of their project, so they usually just "hire" some bountists to stand up for them.

To tell you the truth mate, i have not reported an ICO that is a scam. In the first place how do we know if it is a scam if it is an on going project. We might have a wrong perception on a particular project. We can only knew that a certain ICO is a scam when it is already over and they already had vanished.

I currently do not look for an ICO investment, so I do not analyse ICO projects and report them if it looks like suspicious. But I regularly read in the scam accusations section here on bitcointalk and have noticed that people report suspicious projects there. So if you have interest in ICO projects, I suggest to first check there.

Basically pinpoint the scammy aspects of the projects by asking questions that will expose those parts on the community's page or forum.Usually they may not be able to answer or answer unsatisfactorily and that way people will be drawn to the red flags about that project.That works better than screaming'scam' on the page which could get you banned and your message never delivered.

If it looks scammy just avoid it, unless you have proof that it is a scam then report it to a mod or make a thread.

IMO i will report it soon as possible or i will make a post about some ponzi on my social account like twitter and facebook so that my friends can prevent such issue. 'cause those scam is very unpredictable now adays they copying some of the legit,   so much better to make a list of it to assured that we are in a safe site.

On the off chance that I saw an undertaking that resembles a trick I don't generally put such a great amount of thoughtfulness regarding it, i'm simply attempting to caution those individuals who ask my recommendation and furthermore my companions. Cause I truly would prefer not to charge a task that it is a trick perhaps their undertaking just did'nt generally go well and I would prefer not to decimate the campaign administrator of that venture.

If I believe that it's a ponzi scheme or a scam I will definitely informed to ppl. Something I definitely informed is if :
1. Pyramid model
2. Lending platform.
For other projects I just informed that there is something to be aware of for example if project :
1. Has a team that is not appropriate
2. Websites that mimic or plagiarism from other projects 3. No WP and Roadmap
4. WP imitate or plagiarism from other projects .
I do not dare to say that it's a scam before there is much evidence and it's very supportive if it's a scam.

Yes of course they deserved to be reported so other people will not waste their time joining on that shit ICO. But some ICO succeed on their project yet the bounty is not given for almost 2mos and the developer keep on promising but in the end no one receive the bounty, so I think better to report on social media.

Scammers are normal where ever you go., in business, lifestyle because they are not contented of what they have especially in online business.

First thing that i do is reading their white paper if it is not good, i just ignore them. Then finding another ico. Everyone of us has the power to choose, we dont have the power to dictate another persons decision.

I will first get some information from some pages on the bounty thread, usually some members will ask if the project indicates a scam. if I am following, I will ignore the task the next day. But not all bounty suspected scam will really scam in the end. These are some cases that my seniors experienced, they actually pay at the end of ICO. and of course this makes regret for completing the task only partly because they initially thought the project was a scam..

I prefer not to shout to anyone else, because I was probably wrong. How if the project then be a successful project, if the project definitely a scam then you should inform everybody to avoid the project.

They are so prevalent throughout the space that it would take forever to let everyone know whether its a scam or not. I think people should use their judgement to make the decision.

I will pay attention and make sure the movement first, if there is really a new scammy indication I leave and tell others especially my close friends to be able to anticipate his actions not to get caught and fall on the losses caused by the trick of the trick.

of course, if the ICO was certainly a scam then as much as possible immediately reported because so little is tricked and enters into it. therefore be very careful in choosing the ICO.

If you're worried about friends or investors investing in what you know about the ICO scam then you will immediately give them information. Of course, if this happens, nobody said, You're really upset. So just help, for nothing to prey on ICO scams

You can always warn them through the comment sections of the thread of that ICO itself. I was once saved by people in the comment sections post a lot of comments about how the ICO I was  about to join was a scam for a reason with a fake team profile and so on which I was very relieved to be not part of.

It is mostly difficult to know for sure of a scam, early enough to warn others, but we can create an awareness through our doubts, asking others to give an opinion or experience stating for or otherwise. This not only saves defamation of a good project, it helps investors too. Not to voice your fears or doubts deprives everybody, so one should definitely word their doubts, not an outright declaration screaming scam!

I don't think you can report scams in crypto world because it's not that easy either you get hawked or you get out safe and the best thing to avoid that scam related projects is to research the whole project angels before you even think about inventing and also watch out for community responses about such project because nigative and postive comment based on facts could really help in these situaion

I post about the project in their very own bitcointalk forum and i give my reasons as to why it is a scam and what the community should ask the team if they do not trust mine. I was the first one which called graphene power a scam and yet people continued to invest in it, bounty hunters continued to spread the evil! At last when their very own bounty didn't got delivered, it was then they come to their senses. Warning a community is every sane investor's job and the rest you need to leave it to people to go with their own judgment. No convincing them or spoon feeding as to why its a scam.

depending on the case we are facing, I must be absolutely sure first that the project is a scam. we can not act without evidence of strong enough evidence, because there is a fatal effect if we are mistaken. because it involves pollution. so, will not be the same depending on the case we are facing.

Scam ICOs wasn't look scammy rather it looks sometimes more truthful than the true ICO. More will notice that it is a scam after the campaign for not paying the bounty hunters and not giving the coins to the investors. That's why they didn't report coz of not knowing the true color.

Well, these can be seen immediately and immediately need to warn people about this, because we are all one big family. But unsubstantiated allegations are also fraught with consequences.

If I see a scam(but I cant say that this is totally scam, for example some ICO - it cant be scam before the team takes money and leave investors alone)
I go to the topic on bitcointalk and ask some questions about the project. And all who reads the answers make their own decision depending on what they see. I think this is the best way to clear out the scam coins
If i see an ICO that looks scam, I will just move on ( 90% of actual ICO's looks scam to me anyway). Digging deep analyzing takes me time and time is money in my case.
I really don't have time to check all ICO's to see if they are scams (maybe it's just may opinion and they are legit after all).

Instead of spending time analyzing and making waves for a potential scam project, I prefer to focus to find profitable ICO's to invest in. But maybe it's just me, i know what I want. I have bigger goals in life.

Maybe it's too late when you report it. The OP idea was to spot scammy ICO's before actual scam happen. If you report after that, it's worthless.

I think for our fellow bitcoiner there should be a sense of dividing the other fellow in the science of blockchain or things that we do not want, for example some kind of fraud or the science that also others to share another fellow.

I think there are forum rules on this. But if it really looks like a scam I think it's better to report such project as it may just ruin the integrity of the site. Who else would want to call bitcointalk.org a forum for scammers? None I guess, so it's better to let everyone else know about them.

You should report it, in our community scammer has no place to be, we do not want anyone of us to be scam because i know the to be scammed by someone. Also leason learn do not deal with somebody without using escrow because using third party will lessen the risk of every transaction.

Right now there are many scammer launching ico because in this meyhod they can easily collect the trust of many investor by posting good and better site and white paper with a solid team that is why be careful in investing in ico.

I recommend to avoid such personal message from one of the team of ico because the legit ico will never do personal message to other user asking you to invest in their ico, they have a telegram channel to show transparency to all participant of their ico. Goodluck to all of us.

If i found a scammy ICO, of course i will warn the community. But how can we detect it whether it is scam or not. We read white paper to know how good the project is, not to detect if it is a scam.

I must good to share to this furom to make people aware to that project.
That is the right idea to share if you have notice that there is a scammer to make as awareness of all people. Scammers is so intelligent but as our helped and teamwork we should avoid with this one and make sure that they can't damage to everyone of us here.

I am ignoring these projects, too much scam nowadays. Also, people are not obliged to listen to my words, I am just some person from the Internet.

Even though they are not obliged to listen, you should still tell them if it is a scam or not. At least it will give them a reason to think before investing in scam ICO.

There is no official department or ministry to report it to.  If you are talking about reporting in the forum, as of now i still do not invest on a suspicious ICO but if i became a victim 100% i will post it in the forum so they cant victimize othet investor. We are just one community and reporting a scam ICO will surely make the community avoid the scam.

Yes it will be a very good solution for all members of the bitcointalk forum. we will dodge them. But how to identify a fraudulent project? I really do not know much about identifying a fraudulent project.
Can you give me the most accurate answer? I will be very grateful to you for that.

To warn the community, you must have good evidence of fraud. Just your opinion is not enough and it does not interest anyone. I often see topics where good and honest projects are accused of fraud. It's just a hatred for the project or for the manager. If there is no confirmation, then it is better not to do so.

I can write about my suspicions in the thread of a project. But I will not discourage people from participating in this project because I can not know for sure whether they are fraudsters or not. I can be wrong too.

Well, of course, as a normal person, I will warn others, on the forum in other networks! if there are those who noticed scammers and are silent and quietly coming out of the ICO, I do not even know how to call it ... nasty .... this is the most adequate thing that comes to mind !!!

I don't report any scams because I don't care.
Besides I am not into investigating ICOs and coins legitimacy except when I am joining signature bounty campaign.
I am very careful on participating Bounty Campaigns due to limited accounts in this forum so I would spend time on each ICO that offers bounty campaign so that in the near four I could get good tokens from them.
But, I don't report scams and frauds, that's what I am always ignoring.

A lot of people don't report scams unfortunately, because they think someone else will do it.

Basically, the bystander effect.

Even if you're unsure, I'd recommend sending in a report, you never know what's gonna happen.

I will just ignore it, other people don't care even if you tell them that those are potential scam icos in the making. Scam ico's now are very common since it is the new way of scamming other peoples money now.  Its our job to research first about the ico if they are legit projects.

I will not report it and if I see one ICO who is smelling that its a scam, I ignore it and find for another one. Lets take this situation: You saw an ICO that for you its a scam then you told it to your friend who likes to invest with that project but because you said that its like a scam, your friend didn't invest with it and then after 3-4 months, it reached its hard cap lets say. Now who has the fault? you because you said that it was a scam yet it is not. So its better to just ignore it and don't say it to anybody or anyone.

That will be the disadvantage in cryptocurrency we don't have a institutions that will be responsible for those scammers. That we can send to them a link for them to investigate if they are doing it right with a fair to the investors. So sad that we don't have that protection due to anonymity in every transactions. All we can do is to aware every circle of friends to double check before they will transact or support that ICO's. Also, we can share it here under Scam accusations for awareness of the community.

Even you report that scammers nothing gonna happens because no one can stop them on what they are doing so the best to do to each and everyone aware that they are scammers inform or post about what they are do so to those who can read your articles was aware that the site was a scam even you report them they can't stop scammers because not only one nor two nor three they are so many so that we never stop them.

There are thousands of scam projects in this business. Which one will you report and to who? It's almost impossible to stop all these scams. Everybody should get educated and protect themselves. I can easily spot on scams now. If you are not sure about a project, just don't invest any money to it.

No i usually posted these scam projects here in altcoins discussions so that people will be aware to the potential scam projects,you should tell everyone to be vigillant because a lot of projects today are scams,created just to raise funds then will runaway at the end.

I've been into a fishy-smell ICO as part of the bounty but got busted because of their poor whitepaper where they mention a VIP person that is unlikely to join them. So right after that moment, i immediately inform the bounty manager that the ICO he/she managed is a pure scam.

Where do you report scams? Which authorities? Governments don't look out for them. They just ban them all if they want.
It cost too much to investigate all projects. Who will fund this? Everybody should make their own research.

How we can make sure wheater the project is really scam or not? How if wea are wrong to say scam to legit project? It can kill the project itself.
If i know how to make sure it, i will not go to the next one directly, first i warn my friend not to invest then this forum at the second.

It's a little tricky to report a scam, because of a lot of things. Mainly, because this is your own oppinion regarding a given project. For me, it is better not to report a scam, but to write in the forum regarding what you think is scam in a project and to debate it with the other participants in the forum. You cannot always know everything and in the end something that looks scam in the beginning, in the end could happend to be the new best thing...

i think there are many cases that even when we know that ICO is a scam, it is still not easy for us to convince people to believe in what we said, however we have the responsibillity to protect ourself and community from negative effects of ICOs, reporting to Everybody in this Forum is the way we can do to warn people about the ICO, showing evidences or telling it to Media pages like Telegram or Twitter, they may don't have much result but at least we can warn some investors careful with their investment.

I haven' informed yet and haven't warned anyone! I haven't got a lot of experience and I cannot tell straight away, whether the project is scam! Right now I have a few projects, that I think are scam and I'am still working on them, because I am not sure whether they are scam! Anyway once I get enough experience, I would definitely inform people!
The project's that I work on and pretty sure they are scam are AGT - Social Media Platform on the Blockchain by Argent, CryptoPuppies.Land not quite sure, but likely and Xandracoin (facebook campaign)- Ultra-Fast Decentralized Digital Currency Bounty campaign! Xandracoin launched facebook campaign and after first week, they written in the thread, that facebook campaign is finished! I suppose I should get stakes for my first week work and I asked them whether I will get my stakes for the first week and I get no replies! In their Telegram group, I can only participate, but can't ask a questions! I'am not very worried, but it's quite upsetting and I think it's disrespect to us (bounty hunters).
Well that's all for now and I hope we get less scam projects! Good luck to us and our projects

If you find a Project or ICO that looks scammy, what steps do you take to warn the community? Do you just ignore and go on to the next one?


If i find ICO that looks scammy, i inform all my friends about it, i write about this in Telegram groups, and also on the forum. I don't like when deceived people, so i'm making maximum effort to warn colleagues of the danger.

Never give up

If I notice a fraudulent ICO, I usually report it to acquaintances and my followers on the blog.

First make sure that you do a very deep research about the ico, you do not want to be wrong and then not only you lose credibility but you will affect an honest project, but if you have your doubts about a project there is nothing wrong with raising questions about it this is a forum and that is why we are here, so as long as your questioning is valid there is nothing wrong with exposing possible scams.

Actually you could report it here just make sure about your claims and really research if it is really a scam. You can  post about it here making all the people in the community aware of it. Keep the threat alive  by checking on it and replying on the inquiries posted as replies.

It would be best if someone created a website where we could log in and report with proof and have admins verify the proof and then start a database.
We need to protect one another. I have been scammed you have been scammed we all have. Let us try protect newcomers from these thieves.

Ignoring it wouldnt help anyone,but spreading the word on every relevant threads would be the best thing to do so people would be warned from these schemes/scams.Because nowaways people always find their ways to take advantage other's weaknesses,you can report these scammers to moderators,or if you find a project that is a scam post it in a relevant thread so you could help other's from not getting involve with these schemes.

Well this is one of our main problems as a community. We lack unity when it comes to standing against scams and frauds. Everybody is so focused on his own interest and benefits so they don't care anyone else. Personally i try to report every scam i face to lower their numbers. Because crypto is built to solve the problems of real world frauds not to joing them.

Very often, when it becomes clear that the scammers of the project - learn all at once)
But, of course, I distribute this information, suddenly someone else does not know.

There is big difference between 2 things .
1- Have a suspicion about project that it might be scum , then you have to just stay away and warn your friends , because you really can not go around call someone or project a scum based on just suspicion.

2- Know that this project is a scum and have a proof  to back your say , now you have to open a thread and warn the whole community about this scum , and I believe that anyone get scummed because you didn't report such a project while you  could ,  is really not a good thing . Turning your eyes away from a crime while you can stop it ( make you part of it ) .

If you have intuition that that is a scam, ask first until you're sure.
If you knew that that is a scam, always tell others so that less people will be a victim of that.
Just be aware of scammers and it is good to share what you know to others.
Spread the word if you know of a scammer

It actually came to my conscience and consciousness that I should be doing that so as to play my own part to help gullible members here because if mode take the report, they would handle it and by that, avoiding harm to members.

First of all, I am trying to ask everything in telegr am, bitcointalk. If they answer and post normal answers, I can analyze a bit more and decide scam it or no. But, anywayy, you should post proofs, so everybody can see it! Bitcointalk, twitter, telegram, etc.

How can we be sure of whats a scam to report?
What makes it suspect?  Huh
If you see the person who developed the coin and you saw the scam happening then it would be very different.

Better tell another person about that project so you and your friend not got scammed. Also post about that project in forum like bitcointalk or redit or any other crypto related forum. Make sure you have enough evidence to tell that project really scam not just some accusation with out proof

I think that you have hit the right spot. The community is tired of the FOMO and the FUD as well, so providing evidence is the key. Given that it is not very common to find it, I think that either people don´t research or that they don´t share the results. Posting this question is trying to create some awareness in the community.

I do report scams, I think that it is one of the most healthy ways to keep the bitcointalk environment safe and clean. It doesn’t really matter whether the admins or moderators will hear me out, the important thing here is I dod my part as one of the regular users or member here in the bitcointalk community.

I never report a scam ICO because there is no proper authority to report it but i usually tell my friends to avoid it. Besides even if you  report it, they will just create a new one and it is the responsibility of every investors to make their own research before investing in any ICO.

Yes and by doing this we can prevent others to get scammed as well. In this community that everything is uncertain and even though we smell something fishy yet we don't have any evidence to accuse someone or ico as scammers because in the end they might be the one pointing fingers to you. Likewise, prevention is always better than cure.

If you only have doubts about the project and you think it might be the scam you can post a topic here so people can discuss it. But if that project is not a scam, it's terrible news that the wrong information could have a negative impact on the project and the plan might fail because of the information you provided.

For my own experience, I only reported the scammer once in the telegram group. This guy put a fake airdrop information, and I reported that to the admin in the group. The admin banned this guy immediately.
BTW, I have no experience reporting the scammer in the bitcointalk forum.

I never report scam and I didn't ever reported any scams that I encountered. It's just that, I don't care to other people after me. It's up to them if they will spend time on research on how to know and spot that the ICO or a Crypto project is scam and bogus or not.
When I found out that the ICO and a project is a scam I just trying to stay away from them and I didn't tried to hit key buttons of my keyboard to do any reports in order others will know...
I just don't wanna waste time on that, and I also thinking that I was wrong so, for me, it's better saying nothing than creating buzz.

If I will encounter an ICO that looks like a scam, I will call my friend who knows a lot in the world of cryptocurrency, I will ask if this ico should be trusted or not. If I saw something like that I will just simply do not participate and I will probably do not go report them because I do not know how to and I think it will just waste my time instead of spending it into something valuable. I will also tell people I know so that they will be alerted and can not be victimized by scams.

The best thing to do when you find a scam coin is to make a post here on the forum and post the proof. When other people are gonna google search that ICO, they will eventually find out the scam information you provided.

Yes reporting these people to mod so they can easily get banned from this forum,plus i am exposing these scammers to the relevant dicussions so if most of the people will know or be educated on how to spot these scammers,we can help each other so our community would be scam-free.These people shouldnt be given any chance because they are stealing other's hard earned money.

I think this is not enough, because anyhow the scammer can collect huge money, would be nice if the forum administration can ban Announcements thread of this "project"

you are absolutely right in analyzing other people's projects. That's just still come across negative but also people can make mistakes. Although I know that some projects and resources are engaged in the analysis of the company. I hope for their quality work.

Unfortunately, high-level scammers can not always be recognized. Now scammers have moved to a new level and are trying to carefully think through their project so that inexperienced people can not expose them.

do you have any idea where and how to apply? I also would to add one project add for scam review.
but one more time, I think the forum administration has to ban scam project or we have to create a google form and add there and all community have to make tweets and repost this info

i wholeheartedly agree about the scam projects but i also wished they would enforce their policies on spam.

i swear i see at least 3 or 4 threads about viberate daily.

It's becoming hopeless. On so many occasions i've tried warning people, making posts and talking in their forums, there three outcomes:

1) The most ideal situation, people listen to you
2) Your post gets deleted/moderated, or actively buried by said coin's puppets
3) People are so invested, they attain bag-holder status, and will do everything to reject your statements and avoid it altogether.
I completely agree. I also had difficulties. I have created a subject, but I was heard. Though proofs to skam were very strong. I have in vain spent time. I consider that such information should be placed there where it will be estimated.

I've fallen for a few scams. My lottery and gambling addiction didn't help with that. There should really be some competent scam police some day

I definitely will if I came across with one. It is our responsibility or obligation as members of this forum and the crypto system as a whole, to warn our brothers and sisters of such activity. We should not neglect/ignore such occurrence because many will be victimized. If we don't want to be scammed, then we should feel the same for others.

I mostly ignore it... when i take the effort to sort things out with facts and it turns out to be a scam, nobody listens. So why should i bother to do so much effort.

Me? I didn't encounter such scam here in my bitcoin life. But if I encounter it then all i can do is to report so that this will be gone and there's no victim

Whenever there is the opportunity to report these scams, because they do a lot of damage to the community, and the worst that damages the entire crypt ecosystem, losing confidence in investments, and leaving the ecosystem as if it were all a scam, so the best denounce these scams by possible means of communication

I think, we must tell others if we have a confirmed information. In such way we can help each other and we'll be better informed. Noone wants to lose his money.

If I come across with  scammers I definitely do what is right I will  notify  the brethren not to join on their project because it's very hard to be a victim  of scam. It's one way of showing  my concern to my fellowman.

this is one useful bitcoin talk.
but you must have strong evidence and the right foundation if you want to spread the news ICO SCAM.
because if it does not have strong evidence it will be a boomerang for those who report it.
and I prefer to ignore it if there is an ICO SCAM.

Here is a tool if you want to report scam token or ICO. You can send it directly to BLUE team on this link: https://www.etherblue.org/report
They will add and review the address and make and exception to their wallet. Like a warning notification.

If i'm very much sure that its a scam, I would gladly share it to any of my social media account so people who use crypto will be aware. I would also share it here in btc web, it doesn't matter if they believe me or not, the important is that I had done my part to spread awareness.

before telling people that the project is a scam, we have to make sure we do not make post in the thread, then we can get red trush, to prove it you can trap by making ANN thread question, if true their scam project will not answer the trick question, and it can be proof and you can tell everyone that the SCAM project

If I find an ICO scam I will report.
It is rather difficult to tell if it is a scam or not.
the more important we are more thorough in searching for ICO

Better to post it in other bitcoin forums to warn them in what scam you have encountered. But also you must find or collect all evidence you saw to prove you accusation. So that less people would get scammed by the said project.

I always does mate. Because we are a community and we have to protect each other. So you should do it. And you should also blacklist the members of the team if they show them to the outside world.

Until know i don't have qny experience about the scamming and i thank that because there's no one try to scam me. All of the people that i have talked and have negotiations was great. But for me if i have an scammer then it must be report to the admin because scamming is one of the bad doings and need to report immediately because they steal what's on you

Im not that old here to know directly those scam ICOs or scam members here, but if I see some obvious ones who were scamming people I directly report it to admins here on the forum or give some DM to DT's here. or maybe putting a red tags on that member whoadvertising scam projects for people to be aware on what the scammer offers!

Yes of course , scammer are one of the enemy of those who want to earn they steal the money in the bad way so there's no way that it can't be reported but many of the scammer have a dummy account and i hope that can it be fixed that the dummy account can't enter in this kind of industry because big money involved here.

I do report scams, I think that it is one of the most healthy ways to keep the bitcointalk environment safe and clean. It doesn’t really matter whether the admins or moderators will hear me out, the important thing here is I dod my part as one of the regular users or member here in the bitcointalk community.
The only problem is that there are so many of those scams going on that is impossible to get them all, it seems the faster the mods move the faster fake projects are created so we are in some kind of the cat and the mouse game where the scammers seems to somehow always get the upper hand no matter what it is done to stop them.
