Avoid Being Scammed Again

[mary0919]

I've seen many users complaining about being scammed by ICO projects most of them are new investors which probably gonna be the next generation of investors in cryptocurrency industry. I've been here in the cryptocurrency industry for a year and I've invested into different projects and seen how they disappear in the thin air, so to avoid this I want to share to you my criteria on choosing the right ICO or project to invest in.

This is not guaranteed but maybe in some point it may help you atleast to reduce the possibility on getting scammed by ICO's, the list below are my personal criteria how I choose Project to invest with using bitcoin or other cryptocurrency:

• Check the Background of the team (If the team didn't give info about each member of the team such as name previous projects, background, etc. There's a possibility that they will just run away with your money if they didn't give info's about their team.)
• Read their whitepaper and look if it's really worth to invest with, their concept, etc. (This is important to know what the project is all about.)
• Check the Social media accounts, If you find it very interesting presentable. (Join their telegram group in order to be updated.)
• Check the Projects professionalism (How they handle users, control frauds, etc.)
• Follow their Roadmap and other technical details and see if they meet it on time.
• Look for the projects community and see if the community is active.
• Look for special proof and validation.
• Do your own research about the project such as review about the projects or you can also check the projects ANN thread to see comments who's agree/disagree or the communities idea about the project because ANN threads is like an open forum where you can ask, give insights, etc.

NOTE: Investment is one of the riskiest way to earn money. Invest only what you can afford to lose, in investment there's only to possible outcome it's either you will earn or you will learn. Learn from your mistakes.

Just like what I've said this steps are my personal steps on choosing ICO/Projects in where I'm going to invest in. This may not help you but I hope you'll learn at least a little in my little sharing. Have great day every one, ciao.

PS. If you have something to share in order to avoid scam or any topic related feel free to share so everyone will learn from us.

I have already experienced this buying ICO projects then after the ICO nothing happen,  the developers are running. Their social media are no longer been updated. My friend told me its now a scammed, Lesson learn, I was too greedy to invest without reading the content of the projects. I was invited by that project. For me, It is better to work here, joining some bounties, signature campaign and everything that can earn bitcoins from our hard work done.

well yeah, i've been scammed a multiple times when i'm new into investment and actually i'm about to quit since my first 2 investment at that time is both ended up being a scam. That's why i made this thread on purpose to give newbie investors information in regards with investing to ICO's.

[MigoAmigo]

Don't get scammed. If something seems too good to be true, then it usually is. A scam always looks like you are getting the best impossible deals but don't fall for them.

[taranbam]

I would say that this is a roulette for today ... Even with a professional team, you can lose time, for example, the project does not collect enough money for the next stage - the result is a stoppage of the project and distribution of their hard money to investors (at best) in the worst case of money just disappear. There are a lot of nuances and with an accuracy of 100% you nick

[freesia_pnp888]

thank you for this! i mean, i have never got scammed but these tips could be useful.

I think we all experience getting scam but i guess if you know already bitcoin works it wilk surely be a thing because as bitcoin continue its journey we already know that it gives us a big profit as we invest but not investing in othrr platform but in the sence of buying tokens or bitcoin thisbis where we could get a big profit also we cant get a 20percent up gain easily.

[lonlonmarlon]

yes to other users avoid and keep safe to other scammer and also your bitcoin wallet keep safe that to scammers because more people her wallet is scams that's only my opinion.

[walemil]

Thanks a lot for  this helpful post. I am certain this will guide a number of people henceforth. I have learnt my lessons and in fact, I don't see myself going near any lending ico again because they don't provide team information and make unrealistic promise.

Shitcoin Cash fork is officially live - enjoy those free coins

(there are none

Effect on all prices? Let's see what the lying Chinese govt coin's shitfork does to markets and itself.
Nothing will happen. It will be just another crypto like any other, subject to the market scrutiny. The same happened with Bitcoin Gold.
It is the 4th largest crypto mate - deserve it or not - with a leadership out to destroy BTC. I wouldn't dismiss it so casually.
