We can’t trust anyone!

[Slash61]

You are absolutely right. You should only trust yourself. Remember guys, never get scammed on telegram. Admins will never PM you, so just ignore any PM on telegram. Try to keep your wallet safe and never share your private key with anyone!

I recently was PM by someone who claims to be an admin a project ico, even up to three people who PM me today. with almost the same reason, impersonate asked for the address of the wallet, but when I see that person's profile, it turns out that he is not an admin, I left him.

Yes, theres lots of evidence that shows how scammy ico rating sites are.
Especially ICO bench, they literally ask you to pay more to get a good rating.
So whenever an ICO advertises that it got good ratings on these sites, I immediately don't trust them.

However, ICO rating websites are really useful to navigate from.
They are way easier to go through then teh announcement thread here on bitcointalk.
I can quickly see the token and ico metrics and a general description of what its about.
So I use them to quickly find links to ICO websites where I can start to do my own research.

As with all things crypto, it is always better to do your own research.

      I believe in good ICO rating sites in the known ones. For me, ICO rating sites are the START point when conducting research for a potential investment project. It's a guide, a real help. The final decisions are taken by us as a result of our research, but little help does not hurt. However, I do not recommend that someone choose their investment project solely on the basis of reviews on ICO rating websites.

[Evushko]

Trust, but verify! Additional information never hurts! I look at the ratings of companies, but I am not under a delusion!

[seyola89]

Hey guys. Remember, in crypto sphere we can’t trust anyone! ICO rating sites are lying to us, you have to do YOUR OWN RESEARCH always! Remember this, and don’t let yourself be scammed!

Personal research and conviction is the best. But some people feel they don't have the luxury of time to dig info themselves about what they want to invest in and don't mind believing other people judgement which is not healthy to me.

[alrose]

I have both positive and negative experiences about using ICO ratings as a basis when choosing a project for investment. You can listen to these ratings, but remember that only you are responsible for your choice.

[djgtr]

Maybe some ICO rating site are outright lying... but I think many don't know 100% if a project is going to turn into a scam or not. Some scams can be "well done" or very elaborate and fool many people.

I agree, not all the project are a line into the right way some are scam they just want to enjoy. It is worth the project if yiu are going to search tge exact and the rught ICOs so that you will be leading in the right path through success  You can say the earning is worth it if you do extra effort on it too.

[Esterklu]

Yes, you should not trust. I never trusted any ICO rating sites, but it doesn't mean that i am not using them. Only your own research will help to discover project.

Hey guys. Remember, in crypto sphere we can’t trust anyone! ICO rating sites are lying to us, you have to do YOUR OWN RESEARCH always! Remember this, and don’t let yourself be scammed!

You're right. Icobench, icotracker and other rating sites evaluate projects only for money. You can listen to their opinion, but the conclusion can not be done. You need to study the team, website, whitepeper by yourself

[Xclusive5]

Most of the ICO rating websites are not sincere with their ratings. They only give good rating on the basis that they have been paid by ICOs to do so. Therefore its difficult to trust the authenticity of ICO by ICO rating websites.

[Harriti]

Wowwwww. Maybe this is the best news of the day. LOL. You should know that you should never believe in any ICO listing site out there. All ICO listing sites are paid to promote for ICO projects so no need to know if it's a good ICO project or not, they just care about projects which willing to pay as much as possible then they'll give these projects the best rate.

[slightmoon]

Yeah, ICO ratings we can't prefer for the ICO investments as the good factor. It's good to take in consideration but on the base of just consideration of ratings we can't find the best deal every time. Used to make list on the base of ratings, good website, whitepaper and good team. After all those things go for the research in good manner.

[nulan]

In reality proper You need to handiest accept as true with your self and always Try to preserve your pockets safe and by no means percentage your password (key wallet) with everybody and keep safe your wallet this poin the most important. because there is a chance the villain will act so always be careful and be aware of all possibilities.

[CoinCowgirl]

Yes, yes, yes, it is so pity, but you are absolutely right!! It`s only a shame a have learned it the hard way......

[tterrorpipa]

Always remember, the ICO review sites are just a small hint to you on what to choose in the bounty campaign. The overall decision on it relies on you. That is why you must extend your research on it to prove that it is legit.

[santino11]

True! some ICO rating website is cheating the people. they accept payment for money.
If you will give them some incentives then they will give you high ratings.
This is being pollution into our community! we must have our own studies and research and never depend on ratings alone!

[rahul7timt]

yes it is true but your research may also prove wrong. so one needs to be extra careful while investing in ico projects. after seeing the results of ICO projects now i am very selective in making ico projects. but i am also sure that ico's will get back on track soon. Again people will start investing in ico projects just need to add filter that will identify and remove the scam projects.

[dadatosin01]

I dont really know if it will be east to spot scam project, either ICO reviews site are lying or not. My advice to everyone is to do our own due diligence on any project that interest you and many invest more than the amount you can afford to loss. Sometime the project could be in good shape  and greed will just got into the CEO and run away with investor money. Example is the Extoke exchange recent scam. Everything was going on fine and the exchange platform has already be launch and it has started attracting some listing before the greed got into Ben ( CEO) and run away with investors money. About 40,000 people lost money to that project. So be wise and commit yourself more than you can bear.

for now, indeed we must increase our awareness of things that are promising, even against the ICO, or other digital investments. well, even in the real world, we need to be careful. we don't know when a scammer will come to us.

[bit..what?]

Trust is really a big crypto problem.
You really should not trust anyone, because so many scam people are in this area.
Therefore you should always be careful.
