Hi everyone, in this article, I will write about Those markers to identify a phishing ICO. However, the following are just the signs so people realize a ICO would then only, not for signs of the ICO that auto scam. Same start!

1. anonymous team signs would probably know. The first thing to do is check out our development team of an ICO project. People will need to know the information as the company behind the project, the address of that company where and who participated in the project. Because if this is a good project then why do they have to hide his identity.
In addition, if a person is really interested in the project, they will also want to know the CEO or CTO of project is one, or even find a way to contact to ask about the project and the things around it.So, anonymous team is a sign need attention first.

2. the Whitepaper is a Whitepaper ambiguous big barrier for us because English is not his native language. Moreover, the whitepaper of a project will usually be very long so read the whitepaper of a project would then have to say is a pole figure. However, read the whitepaper is required to do as if people want to invest in ICO, will probably not capture off, but it is required.
Things to note on a whitepaper that is explained deep into their problems. They can talk about ideas, markets, etc., but if it is a really good project, they will have explains about the use case of the project. If it is a scam, the ICO project in the whitepaper will also at least talking about technical problems, they will not talk about blockchain, the issue of decentralization (decentralized), etc., which they will usually try to talk about the idea of the project or how Nice out.

3. No community or at least interact with Each community the project will usually have a separate community to discuss the project. Customize every project they will develop their own communities on the various media, be it on the [Suspicious link removed] thing people need to search in this community is whether it is big or not, whether there are more people asking questions for the project and how the development team answers those questions. When through mark 1 then means everyone in the community knows who is behind the project, so if the developer wants to fool even a large community so it will be very hard.
But a new project, how to have a great community? If the project really good then that team ICO developer will build his community before they ICO. Of course, nothing is certain, but most is.For her, an ICO project has his increasing community will feel a lot more secure.

4. Activity on Github no more Github is a site that any project ICO would also have to use, because this is where the development team for people to see what they're doing, have the results out. When checking the Github project ICO that somehow people find no or little development team's activities, then this is a sign of very suspicious.

5. The web site set up fake fake ICO ICO will probably become a hot trend for the scam in this year. In the year 2017, there have been many cases like this and have made a lot of people lost a lot of money, of course, the scam is the people who most benefit and this is also a game easy to use but there are many prey crashing head on.
At this time, we need to know a trick to know is that this site is safe or not, that is the test SSL certificates (SSL certificate). When people on a site of an ICO would then look next to the domain name and click on the Green locks. When check SSL certificate then we can know is the company behind the site, for example, the name will appear in the Telegram's ICO the company's Telegram such as if a name appears in any other company, it is certainly a fake site adventure.
It is these signs an ICO scam. If find useful posts then leave 1 Like, okay the medical doctor. Happy investing!

This is the biggest problem for us or someone that wants to be an investor because of the fact that a lot of these devs and team behind ICO's sometime choose to stay anonymous

Ive worked for a few ICO projects and at times I've been surprised how it was just a handful of people behind the scenes pulling a lot of ICO strings.

Whenever there is an opportunity, there are criminals who will try to hurt
the people who are doing well with that opportunity.

I  have also certain Point you should know when dealing with
cryptocurrency exchanges.

DO NOT rely on a Google search to receive contact information for an exchange.
Scam artists cheat the system and send their false numbers and contacts to the top of the list.

If you get a message like these below at whatever exchange you are using: IGNORE IT.
“Given recent outages, please help us verify your identity. Click on this link where you can enter in your username and password”
“You have reached platinum status. Please sign in at ABC to receive an extra bitcoin”
Etc., etc.
NEVER give your password or other account information to a site using a link given to you in an email.
ALWAYS go to the website directly rather than using any link provided to you in an email.
Our goal is to help you maximize the potential of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You can, and will, generate great wealth from cryptocurrencies in a safe manner by playing it smart.

A scam ICO can be covered in a very professional manner that it is very hard to detect.
I'm addition to what the OP stated, before investing, always check up,
Track record, if it's a pre established co-operation. How successful are they. And how credible.
The working product shoud be feasible, practical, and useful, targeting a particular point of global interest.

It is safer to invest in already established currencies with a working product.
