How to check if ICO is scam or not?

[maculeth]

at the beginning of the period it is still quite difficult, but if it has been running in the middle of the period, then you can find out whether it is scam or not with a 50% probability level. just check the community in the chat group, if it's not active, then ico is also not active.

First look at the team, then find some of persons from team on social and ask then about this projet, if they say you what they hear about it first time ))) you know what need to do.
Then analyze idea, look for altenatives and compare features, find the bestest

really, the strength of the team, the strength of partnerships, functions, needs, and also competition need to be reviewed, and repeatedly to ensure that the team really does work well, and professionally. sometimes a good team has made 70% authentic.

check their team. just by checking the team, we can know whether they are cheats or not. because they include their social media, such as LinkedIn. You can check whether their LinkedIn is appropriate or not. example of zeux bounty. someone checked their team. apparently not in accordance with the original.

Investing in ICO is indeed a very good investment. And all that also depends on the whole ICO project. How to check whether ICO is a scam. Actually that can be said to be difficult, because now many ICO projects are really good but when the sales are finished they disappear and the project is well managed. You must see and analyze the whole project, it can be from the team and others.

There is no strait jacket method for checking a scam project. In fact, some scam projects are carefully planned in such a way that all researches will prove futile. One of the ways to check out for scam projects include the making of extensive research into the profiles of the team members - sometimes what the team members may present as credentials may not be real and this can be ascertained through a follow up on their social media accounts, checking for coherence in information.

A popular team means if there can be defined as a reliable ico. But remember we can take bittorrent as an example of how the ico which was having a real product can give us the best ico. those bittorrent buyers are getting tons of money from ico instantly.

Only one of your bad decision, you could be lose your all money. In running ICOs, I got some real ICO so far from scam check MCB, Mobu and Quarkchain.

Yes, I am very careful to invest in the ICO now, because many ICOs are cheating Investors, and I want to ask about the ICO MCB project, is the project a SCAM? because I was interested in the project.

I run an airdrop faucet...
you can see that it is not scam because members are paid if they ask payout.
Have a look and you will see from yourself because every thing is open and clear.

Claim few times...sell your tokens and ask a payout.

You can’t be 100% sure of the ICO, but in order to reduce the risks you need to check the team, the project itself and the white paper!

[kipozer]

I think that only by experience can people really get something, because otherwise I can’t imagine what happens if people continue to invest in projects that are not going to do anything. The cryptocurrency market will simply miss this opportunity.

Hey guys, I'm new to the whole ICO world, and BTCtalk as well. I've been reading about a lot of scammy ICOs that take people's money and run away. I'm looking to invest in a couple of ICOs but have no way of knowing if they are good or not. Can anyone tell me how I can go about doing this without losing any money? 

The most important is to check credibility of development team whitepaper and all numbers.
To check people behind project i look for theit LinkedIn profils and do their pictures do not belong to someone else. Also very important at the beginning is to check if they didn't use text of whitepaper from other project. To check this things I use this tool: https://www.duplichecker.com/

[Nivelir]

I still do not see any options to use any generator, which today I can really check the possible options for investors. The analyzer should already exist, but for some reason no one shares it.

[mikaeltomcruz12]

Try to look if what project is all about and I think the other factor you should need to do is try to look into developer try to check if the last project of this developer was a scam or if this has negative trust.

[gowobonyok]

it is very difficult to identify, because ico cannot be said to be a scam or not at the beginning of the period. we can conclude when at the end of the ico or in the middle with some irregularities. for example a team that runs away, a project that does not fit the road map and a whitepaper for reasons why they are fooling investors and participants and then they bring the money.

[lizarder]

it is very difficult to choose ico at this time but if you want to choose you can use some references from the review site ico the rest do your own research and look for ico that does not have competitors (similar projects) and there is no indication of fake team

[AzamNurWahid]

actually it is very difficult to determine whether I have a scam or not but maybe with the presence of a few ico ratings and this discussion will help you in doing research https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 and maybe some of your research can avoid losing a lot of money when investing

[agusiska]

the simple way to check it by check the biodata of the CEO and all team of that project, mostly scam project copy other database to lure newbie investor, and then rob them.

Here are few: anonymous tean, unbelievable bonuses, Promises that their token will reach this much value, no MVP (minimum viable product).

Basically, you will experience a difficulty when you, your self will be just the one who will going to figure out if the ICO is scam or not. You need some other people that will help you figure it out because it is very hard to know it by just using a method called inspection.

[kevinzxz]

in my opinion to check ICO is scam or not very difficult, because we certainly know the ICO is a scam or not after the ICO is finished, so if we want to invest in ICO it is very difficult to know the ICO is scam or not, therefore I would rather invest on altcoins that are already list in coinmarketcap compared to investing in ICO, because investing in ICO has a big risk.
