Being aware of SCAMS

[Eraldo Coil]

If there is a SCAM project, what contents do you expect from its social media accounts and bitcointalk thread?

The scams projects are hard to understand. There has been an application software which has invented to detect scams. You can search it on google to get more informations. I hope it would be able to meet up our expectations.

if there is a scam project, I will tell everyone, so do not be fooled, because project scam is very dangerous and harm everyone, we must dare to prevent fraud

It's getting harder and harder to spot a scam. The best way to be secure is invest in only those ICO which your are in full confident of.
Though less worked scam can easily spotted verifying their team member, affiliation, location and work. But high profile scammer can reach anywhere and will convince even the president to talk for them.

Anonymous developer, the developer doesn't have a lot of track or at least linkedin account to prove of he is a real human. The bitcoin talk thread was using self-moderated to prevent someone that will be posted the truth about that scam project to be deleted by the scammer that created the thread.

I think to avoid scam ICO projects you have to do a due diligent search about the project to ascertain the authenticity of the project concept. Make sure you know the project team you are dealing with. They are real people or fake people? Check them using social media accounts to know their past experience. Can they deliver?
Do as many more research work as possible through the project whitepaper. Thanks

I just suggest you to ask people who knows more how to identify a scam or not and learn how to identify them.

Most of the scam projects are define by developing team and road map because if you looking to good projects only so some worst projects are not succeed in the market. These are all automatically failed in the future they called scam projects so peoples are only invested in reputed project but beginners are wrongly choose the useless project it is the exact scenario of Scam. I think current generation everyone is aware in the Crypto investment.

May be seen from his team. Must have a good Advisor.
we can see the Advisor on the Icobench rating website, I usually choose ico with advisor who has been successful with some ICO. although that can not be a benchmark, stay cautious.

The main thing to do first is a google reverse image search on it's team members, and also run a whois.com report on the domain. I did this for Upfinex and discovered that the domain was registered by the same person (or fake identity) who started BeonBox, which I confirmed as a scam. They were very careful but I was able to find one team member on google reverse image search who was actually some Russian guy completely unrelated to the project. But some red flags to look for: promises of specific exchange listings in the future right there on the website, project described in broad terms that seem very familiar (copying the idea of another project), team members with no linkedin pages and supposed advisors who don't even mention the project on their linkedin page, github repository that really just contains updates to the website and only has one contributor, white paper with excerpts that are plagiarized from other projects, reddit posts where there are always 10-15 responses worded in the same way, etc.

By to publications in social networks it is difficult to understand whether it is a scam or not. The sign of fraud in the thread on the BTT, except for self-moderation, there can be a lot of enthusiastic reviews about the project.

Whether ico project that has bad ratings and reviews can be suspected as a scam project? I've been following a bounty that was done for several months. It's a very long time. And finally the project was scam and failed to list on the exchange.

I'm very annoyed for very long work on projects that cheat many people and finally we are not paid.

[ichanjay]

I think for me. This is one of the most important thing to know before involving yourself in crypto. This place is very dangerous for beginners and newbies. Everyone should be cautious and extra safe when dealing in any transaction especially airdrops, icos etc.

Scam ICO projects are inevitable to join to since they have deceiving and yet looks like a promising ICO after all but these projects needs to be banned from future transactions and the developers must be in chains/prison as frauds.

Well, that's probably too good a promise. There are also a lot of empty words, the lack of a concept, as well as the obscurity of the ICO creators.

[noriksiayol]

Being also a new on this business, for me it is hard to detect and identify a business project that forms of scams, and as far as I've known that even those people who works here for how many years are sometimes victims of scammers. Hopefully crypto management can find a way to avoid and eliminate scammers in order to provide the total good reputation on cryptocurrency business. Because many people afraid to join crypto business because of scammers.

After invention of internet many fraud and scam are created same case in crypto market because it is fully online based market so many scam are available and they are using people and they stole their valuable money so we should aware of it so that we can invest in proper place.

[croptodic]

Nowadays scams are everywhere so we have to be aware about scams. People giving many kind of contents in social media it should be good or bad, bitcoin thread is also there to give contents. First thing we have to do is try to save our projects from scams.
