I've seen the post on this thread, it seems difficult to know a project is a scam or not. Even for the legendary. I always follow all the projects I think I can do while praying that the project that I follow is not a scam.  |

one way to find out a scam project or not is to pay attention to a site offer
Does the offer make sense? Is it not excessive? If the offer makes sense, there could be a chance of success. But if the offer is too good, there's probably something wrong.

You also can analyze the activity of the project team in the bounty and ICO preparing process - if you start to suspect that the ICO success is more important for you than for the team it may be a sign that project is a scam.
And of course, you may rely on your luck

If the web page is easy and not very elaborated and the team is only one or 3 persons, and not more than 12.

I always follow all the projects I think I can do while praying that the project that I follow is not a scam. Indeed, it is not easy to judge if the project is good or is a scam. Even a project that looks good at the beginning can turn into a failure for various reasons. Investing in ICO is always very risky. That is why risk assessment is very important. |

The first thing I always pay attention to is how the project team reveals their personalities(photos on the site, profiles on social networks and more). The concealment of these data are the first sign of a Scam.Also be sure to pay attention to the team's activity in social networks and on the Bitcointalk. Hiding the smart contract address is an obvious sign of a Scam.

Yep. I think everyone in this forum also joined at least 1 time in a scam bounty  )). Unfortunately I joined 2 times ). At the first time, it's Lydian bounty and the second time is Envion bounty campaign . Until now, I still don't receive reward for my work. LOL. I think it's almost impossible to find out which one is scam or not, sometime you need to use your luck |

Honestly, when you have a good knowledge and background in that field, you can know easily if this project is a scam or not, so before you start in that area you must learn and understand the basics and trust me, knowledge is power. and unfortunately, I see that many people easily fooled because of these ICO's scams, or fake projects, the main reason for this is the greed of many of them through the airdrops, and other easy money.
In addition to that, if you read the Whitepaper very well then you can know if this project is a scam or not through the technical things. Plus, the cheaters are everywhere in whole internet and the issue is that scam projects develop over time, So be careful of them and do not rush when choosing the right project.

I think if the ICO project admin team don't use real profiles in twitter and LinkedIn then the project may be a scam its better to avoid such ICOs and more over the admin team should be active in all social media platforms

Ultimately they can all start off as a legitimate business and turn into a scam. The business owners/ICO partners often have good intentions and then when they are not getting the returns that they wanted, or can't cover the investment they made, those will a lot on the line or not great moral codes can bail with the peoples money.

You can't really identify if the project is a scam or not from the start of its campaign. They will make promises that the project is going to be something, hyped everything, provided promising WP that most of the contents are to good to be. You will only notice it as the ICO goes along and the Main team starting to dimish one by one.

I think one of the best ways is to know more about this project's team. If they have big experience and worked in serious companies, then there are no reasons to worry. If their team doesn't look too impressive, then it's better to be careful with this project.

At least learning the team is the main goal that the future participant of their project should pursue. Due to technical information, you can very little about the real goals of developers. |

do you ever follow the work bounty signature program, social media campaign but ended a scam? then how can we know the project ended a scam or a professional? Give me more tips
thank you
Nope, i never had that. Other people will tell you to read all of their WP, team, and their project, is it good or too good to be true. But it doesn't guarantee you will be not scammed by them (many scam project even managed by some reputable member on here back then). I only can say, it's based on your luck. There is always a risk to join in any campaign (including getting scammed) For sure is based on luck, until now No luck for me =( |

I don't think you know exactly what the project is. Even one that seems reliable can turn out to be fraudulent. As lucky.

I think you can try looking at his website, use hypestats to view daily and monthly visitor data on his website, Also read the whitepaper of the project
