All participants of the bounty companies fell for fraudsters, or soon they will fall, I try to first consult with experienced people and only after that I join the company.
There is actually nothing hard in being able to do things yourself when it comes to being able to identify scam but the thing with a whole bunch of people is that the laziness to do research is the main reason why they always try to look for a shortcut or just take some unnecessary risks at the end of the day.

So far so good, I would say the best thing to always do is to on your own be able to take into account, the team as well as the product when it comes to investing into anything or even joining bounty campaigns. As a campaign participant, you frustrate the scammers from even getting any recognition from you, let alone getting that from an investor.

Hello everybody .
 Tell us, how do you recognize the scammers?
i suggest to don't easily fall and put a trust ,which make a hard research about the project ,especially the team behind which is very important, 'cause most new project nowadays has a fake team behind, reason why sometimes there are some projects that always turn into scam suddenly. So be aware and always bear in mind to obtain specific information first before jumping in and don't easily fall in any testimonials.

Hello everybody .
 Tell us, how do you recognize the scammers? I've met a lot of fraudulent projects and I can say that I learned by bitter experience, but every day it's more difficult to distinguish a good project from scammers.We do not want to lose our money and do not waste time in the empty, participating in the companies bounty.

Few things I consider before investing in a new project:

1. What they are promising is it really achievable or is it too good to be true.
2. Authenticity and Credibility of people behind it. Are there real names with real people with real address.
3. Partnerships, are they genuine, did the partners themselves made a written communication about the partnerships

If I cannot find even 1 of the above answers, I stay away from that project.

I think the golden rule here is to stop looking for impossible offers!  There is no free money anywhere and if somebody is making outrageous claim on making you money,  you should know that what the person is concern about is getting the money in your hand!

Spend more time choosing projects. It is not one or a few days. You need to track the transparency of the project and do the research, team test, WP, update evaluation at ANN, OP. These should be practiced regularly.

The most important thing for protection from scammers is to always ensure that the projects we follow have well-known teams, we can know from various sources such as linkedin, telegram, whitepaper and so on.

Exactly! Actually one thing about investment is to always trust only in yourself and your judgment and always see everything in the light of it being a scam until proven otherwise. How to now prove that is left for each individual on how they really intend to go about trying to analyze the team, the product, the business solutions, and so on.

A lot of people actually do not always know what to look out for to be able to know whether to be investing in a project or not, and that is the reason why they fall so easily for any scam. Ask questions, dig deeper, be certain and well convinced before even making any attempt to invest and if you find some things questionable, then, do not even take the risk.

On Telegram channels, stay away from those posing as "admins". Real Telegram community admins will never PM you directly and solicit any crypto or give you a "bonus".

Your attention must be turned on because only you know all details of the projects you are participating in. Be careful in the choosing and talk with people more.

WP shoud contain clear statements about the ways of developing the project. When team promises enormous profits, but cannot explain how they could be obtained, the ICO is fake. But please, differ the complicated explanations and fake explanations, it is important.

Even a detailed study of the project does not guarantee protection against fraud, but it does reduce the risk of getting into a fraudulent project. Now a lot of people identify fraudsters and post them for everyone to see, which is certainly good.

Advisors and team member could help to define fakes. When you are not able to find any reliable data about team member or about advistor, you should be worried. Be extremely attentive - it may be hard for beginner to find out that linkedin profile is fake, but you will learn it!

it is difficult to distinguish, it happens that the project has already collected everything and has been realized, and for some time created the appearance of activity and burst at one moment, for example Centro.
To reduce the risk, you should carefully study the project team, its goals and objectives (their reality). Well, if there are prototypes of the project or development, something has already been implemented

Recently, a lot of slag projects. Recently, I ran into one, worked for 2 months, and then the project simply thanked the participants for their work and said that it no longer needs our services, since it became self-sufficient. I know one thing for sure; I will no longer register as part of our internal project.

It is not easy to distinguish which ones are scammers out of all of the coins, you just make sure that you are looking at all of the right information when it comes to the coin that you are looking to invest in. Look into the creators, make sure that they are the ones working on the coin, look into the product, this will give you a good idea of if the coin will last long or not.

It is good to have a checklist  when searching for a good investment and not to be scammed.
Like looking at the team experience, technical part of the project, social part etc. I always check the GitHub activities as well.
