As for me there is no legit ICO at the moment. If I'd plan an ICO I'd better change my mind after the SEC statement about their standpoint on ICOs which were and will be made without their approval. So just forget and avoid them.

[bigcash2011]

To be honest not many projects that are raising funds at the moment are trustworthy, just see how many legit and real projects were there in last one year and we all know that most of the projects are on hold, dead or not showing up for unknown reasons, only a handful projects have produced a working product or are under development with timely updates and transparency so i would say that we should be very careful now both before promoting a new project and investing.

It's not actually a bad idea to put up stuff like this against scam ICO,  but I also know some guys will abuse this thread by dropping even genuine projects. 2018 was the worst year with regards fake ICOs, making crypto enthusiasts extremely skeptical about investing in them. However, there are still cool ICOs but please before you make any investment, do proper research since investment like this involve risk taking.

[Ini35]

Bounty hunters have got a lot of responsibility in detecting scam project. There are investors who have interest in investing in ICO, but do not know how to go about carrying out research to know if it is scam or not.
We promote projects for investors to see, so we should try to give them safe project that will not cause them their hard earned money.

[milewilda]

For projects that are just still running as of these moment. Detecting them as fraud would really be hard until we do find out if they finish up their ICO.I know what you feel but theres no significant move can be done
to stop these scamming. You can check out these threads to be aware on projects that are scams.

If fighting against ico scam is not not properly planned I don't see it leaving the crypto only for more scam to pump in. I think there should be an organization even if not from the government but voluntary organization who will verify any ico before being promote if not we are still not save.

Great list you can add Konios after distributing their coins to bounty hunters, they are not updating anymore, their channel has no update and we never hear from the team anymore, the ICO failed but they are now listed in LATOKEN.

A lot of strange icos can be considered as scam icos but that needs more identifying to get the proof. Basically put your concern on the telegram group and repository activity.

It is difficult to define when an ICO is a scam. For example Desico project seemed to me a legit project but  when
the  bounty ended they decided not to pay the hunters only thanked them that they were promoting the project
 for months. So, from the perspective of the hunters DESICO is a  SCAM.

[aioc]

We already have a section for the scam but for better awareness I'd like to see one here, not many members are reading the scam sections so they are not aware that the ICO they are promoting is already tagged as a scam site, I see the list going to hundreds in a matter of days.

Thank you for informing us about fraudsters. But we bounty hunters alone do not resist scammers. You need to stick together and maybe then there will be fewer scams.

[frchowe214]

Bounty hunters will not promote a scam because they will not get paid from it. It is better to spread awareness on how to identify and avoid these scams so they won't be promoted by anyone

[bittraffic]

Its not just the fraud/scam ICO that you need to warn each of us but all of the hunters must have the guts to ask for the escrow. This should have been a mandatory or else you don't promote them. The DESICO scam will keep on happening if we don't ask for escrow. ALL the participants think they are very legit of course they but in the end you can't just force them to pay but if the funds are escrowed you'd feel safer.

[travwill]

There are already similar topics on the forum where scam cases are sorted out, perhaps it would be much better for you to post your posts there, you will get timely feedback and your topic will not be lost.

[knuckey]

Honestly this is the cause of the decline in the trust of everyone towards crypto and I am sad we cannot stop it. But we can still prevent and warn everyone to minimize victims who will be deceived by ico scam. Therefore I suggest always to actively discuss and also frequently visit these two boards Scam Accusations and Reputation

People.. I advice I stay off this coin I just lost $600 on the shit https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paragon/#markets
Due to price manipulation by the developers on yobit..

[amos77978]

Also there's a popular trend on telegram whereby you'll be added to multiple telegram community via bots without your permission.. delete those groups theyre mainly scam project with nothing to show
