very often scams are ICOs without defined hard/soft cap, ICOs with very general projects, very often roadmaps are also general.

Great article, thx for sharing!
yes, I agree aswell, and in my personal strategy for hunting ICOs I always look at the team first
second I look at the project, scope, market problem
third, I look at the token metrics
fourth, only in the end I look at the whitepaper!

I do not have enough knowledge to point out a scam ICO, but I have a way to help you choose ICO quality, you choose the ICO project that the legendary members, heroic members. They are doing ICO projects do you follow them. These members are already experienced in the Crypto market. The projects they choose have a very high success rate.

Great points raised up in the article. Although I am not too sure about results of searching addresses from google maps because they are not always accurate, but I believe wen all this precautions are taken, a scam will surely be spotted.

one more thing most of scam icos use someone else profile pics , so google the image of all team members . some of icos have too much high hardcap of more than 50-60 million $ , so check the project why they need so much money .

It is indeed a good article. The mentioned points are suitable as a reference to identify if the ICO is scam or not. In addition to that, searching project names on websites like icobench.com or trackico.com could also help,these websites rated projects according to the quality of their whitepaper. These websites are not 100℅ accurate,but can serve as your reference.

I think if you see dozens of posters posting about the ICO on here in every thread (even ones that have nothing to do with it) with no information about the company, team, etc. then that's a pretty good indication that something is off.

Look for contact numbers and search online for clues from Social Media and sites like Ripoff Report. Do not invest unless you can verify the owners work history etc, LinkedIn is a good place to start. Here is BlockSims by Shehar Yar, a scam I found on Ripoff report.

Before you invest your money in a startup, find out who its managers are, who the founder of the project is, where these people come from, what kind of education they have, whether they have relevant work experience, how they came to the IT field, whether they have been in business for a long time. A startup conducting an ICO must have an official registration. Assessing the ICO, you need to admit yourself whether the idea really needs a blockchain or it's just a beautiful package. Not every project requires decentralization, which this technology promotes, but many in the pursuit of profit simply "tighten" it. If you see that the startup don`t need blockchain and it`s own token, but at the same time they are promoted, do not invest in this project.

Continuously check for unoriginality in the sites, whitepaper and in addition different parts of an ICO. While these signs are promptly not obvious, any sign of written falsification expands its odds being a trick. In numerous past cases, new ICOs have obtrusively duplicated content or other related substance from another organization without earlier consent and have ended up being fraud.
