I have been always checking out all these points you have mentioned for a long time before investing in an ICO. There is a huge chance of falling for fraudulent projects if the ICO has shady information and unknown team behind them. Hopefully, it will help the newcomers who are interested to invest in ICOs.

As mentioned in one other similar thread, you can never be safe from investing in Scam projects, also if you have been around for years. Also the scammers are getting better and better and it is hard to spot if a project is fraudulent from the past..previously you could detect that easier, now scammers getting more professional and don't make as many mistakes as before...be careful

I really appreciate your effort for putting this points together. But sadly, it's easy to say than to execute. Now the scammers have also evolved their techniques. They plan a lot in advance so it has become very hard to spot a fake social media profile. The attributes mentioned in the website can be sourced from a professional content writer which again becomes very tough to spot any anamolies.

It is little easier to spot a fake ICO projects through their twitter activities. I have seen a lot of ICO projects those who tweet about only their projects with a lot of jargons and copied text from their website. Only a handful of them post about their real pictures and their team members. Once you see an ICO is continuously posting about their participation in various crypto summits and their tours and sales pitches, you can at least trust that they are not fake and genuinely trying to get better attention.

I usually use this determination factor before joining any bounty program.

Correct, scammers are not going to sit and do nothing while everyone now is able to detect the way they used to scam, they are adapting as well and they are doing it at such a speed that I think investing in this market of icos is no longer safe and if possible it should be avoided, some may think that is too harsh but taking into account the huge number of scams I do not think that is the case.

Yes, nowadays the scams are increasing so it becomes very important to be careful while investing in anything. Whitepaper is the mains source of all the info about the project. We should read it carefully, make sure it has some real ideas and realistic goal. We should also read about the team of developers, we will not find much information if they are a group of scammers.  Moreover generally I have seen there are just merely faces on the paper rather than people really working behind the project.

[organelles]

It is good that you have made all of these points. A lot of people really need to see this so they can know the kind of things they are getting into when they invest. It is good that we are all enlightening people on the ways that the can avoid being victims of scams which is a good thing. Always make sure that you are not investing in scam projects.

[rabia_laskor]

That's a useful post you've written over here. I agree with you in all the points, one should only invest the amount they can afford to lose, the world of cryptocurrency has been unpredictable until now, as much as it is risky. I only get involved with the verified sites to avoid scam.

I do not really know if the scammers have actually gone up or if we are just getting better at detecting them, to be honest I am leaning towards the latter since now there are many members that have been scammed and now are dedicating their time to reveal scams and they are doing a great service to the community, but as soon as there is a new bull market new and inexperienced investors will flow in the market again and the scammers will have unfortunately an easy time scamming them.

Check the Social media accounts, If you think that its extremely fascinating adequate. (Join their message bunch so as to be refreshed.)
Check the Projects polished methodology (How they handle clients, control cheats, and so forth.)
Take after their Roadmap and other specialized points of interest and check whether they meet it on time.

This is good information, we should always be alert when it comes to our coin and to avoid being scammed again. We all need to realize that with each passing day the scammers get smarter and come up with more sophisticated ways of scamming people so we need to be just as smart. My advice, never open suspicious links and make sure that the links are correct before putting your information.

Its true all

[Docnaster]

I always read horror stories of people being scammed, but have never been scammed myself (well except for insignificant amounts when I'm in an extreme hurry or something). There's one simple rule to life. Trust nobody, sure it will cost you opportunities, but when you have very little money, some times you simply cannot afford to be scammed as it could set you back severa months in recovery time.

[Don Lord]

that's good information, I think you'll be rewarded, do you gave good food for thought, we must always remember and keep this information in my head.
