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

This two has sections has become my favorites I am an investor and a bounty hunters, I need to check from time to time if the ICO I'm promoting has turned to scam project, every bounty hunters and investors should check these two sections.

we really have to fight the ICO scam project players, besides harming the investors they are also just wasting time and work on bounty hunters for a long time and testing the patience of the bounty hunters. Therefore, in order for this situation to not continue, we must unite to fight the perpetrators.

Ingot Coin is the first ICO that came to my mind. They announced that they were able to reach the soft cap and then announced at a later date that they never did. It was all for PR to attract investors. I believe they ran a more than 20 week bounty campaign.

it must be because with the existence of ICO fraud it makes a lot of people become a big loss or lose a lot of money, so if possible in the opponent, just the opponent because it is very good for us all later

There were a lot of similar projects that also tried to change something, there were created topics, which, of course, no one looked at the end, because most people simply forget about it. So now this is just another topic.

Good thread. I am yet to encounter a real scam. There were a lot of ICOs that started out with good intentions but failed along the process due to changes in regulations and failure to close some strategic partnerships.

If you really want to fight against scam ICOs than you will need to be vigilant by deloping your skills about the cryptocurrency market. Before investing in project or supporting any project as hunter than you must check each and every thing about project in brief like team, social media, roadmap, partnership etc. Last time I saw several projects which had 25000+ members in telegram community and there were only 10 to 20 peoples active in the group which raised huge questions to me, how only 10 to 20 peoples are active this group have 25000 members in telegram community??? Later I found those project may have used both account to show the strength of people on their social media community. Same thing was observed with twitter account of the project.

PLS KINDLY PUT DOWN THE NAME OF ANY COMPANY YOU THINK ITS SCAM AND NOT WORTH INVESTING ON AND GIVE REASON WHY IT SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTED
..

THIS WILL HELP BRING BACK THE TRUST WE ONCE HAD IN THE CRYPTO SPACE AND MAY ALSO GIVE LEGIT ICOS  THE CHANCE TO RAISE ENOUGH MONEY AND KICK START THEIR PRODUCT
I suspect two projects, Ethereum Limited and Ethereum Classic Vision. There has been a case of disappearance of the Ethereum limited team which is currently been discussed in their telegram group. Even the bounty tokens have not been distributed to the best of my knowledge. The Ethereum classic vision is currently also been rumoured as a scam project.

Look, you are currently promoting some ICO and you are fighting against ICOs? This doesn't make any sense!

I think that there are also many good projects. Usually if projects raised soft cap, tteam continues working on their product. It's better to invest in projects which are already have money for their development.

It is very difficult to identify a fraudulent ICO until it is over. In 2018 I was cheated by ICO https://www.glitzkoin.com/, after the end of the bonus program they hid spreadsheets and stole money from bounty hunters. The glitzkoin development team are scammers, stay away from the project https://www.glitzkoin.com/.

This two has sections has become my favorites I am an investor and a bounty hunters, I need to check from time to time if the ICO I'm promoting has turned to scam project, every bounty hunters and investors should check these two sections.

It is high time to make a platform that will automatically check and notify investors and bounty hunters about the next project scam, this will make life easier for many and save a lot of money.

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.

for the future, maybe we will need a system rule that allows it to reduce the many ICO Scams, this will certainly be very useful. For example the results of ICO sales that are not directly to the wallet belong to the developer so that this will reduce the possibility of a scam because their money is held by the agency in full responsibility.

Them biggest scammers of the year 2019

____4new .... http://4new.io ... this guys are so greedy it seems they didn't scam off enough money from investors by claiming to have a mining plant which does not exist... they decided to destroy a legit project named Airwire... Airwire.io by dumping off their token on exchange after a successful partnership... Airwire noticed what was going on and decided to call off the partnership


____swissalpmining ... http://swissalpmining.com

Alot of users may know of this one... https://shitcoinoffering.com/dead-snow-the-swiss-alps-mining-scam-ico/
 Read above article for more clarification

____Giracoin ...

Same swiss scammer  from swissalp mining...


____Tipbot .... http://tipbot.io ... Same user who scammed off users from a project named dividend in the year 2017 to 2018.. you can search out the word dividend from the search bar an see what comes out


More scam projects incoming


Honestly, these projects really dealt a blow to investors. My fiat is just tied up in those. I just hope a magic or something happens and they give a turn around.

Neluns project on mind now, they claimed to have raised 112 million dollars but it happened to be scam. I checked their smart contracts and what I see is less than 10000 USD. This is a project that is highly rated by ICO Bench and many other ratings site. Neluns is now requesting ETH from hunters before token will be sent to them.

Putting an end to scams in our world is similar to stopping the sun from shining. In everything we do on a daily basis, there are always people looking to rip us off and I say this because I'm in a part of the world where corruption is prevalent.

Limiting scam ICOs requires each and every one of us to be vigilant by making conscious decisions to further understand the crypto market. I do a lot of ICO investing and promotion and I don't take the part of doing my research lightly. The moment I sense a red flag, I pull out. Don't let the population on telegram or number of Twitter followers fool you.

Original post, ommited ..

I guess you will have lots of work to put down such a list  Grin Scams are very frequent in this industry and combining it with recent SEC statements - ICOs will have a tough 2019.
