I saw since last year lot of ICO's was scammed and project not true. So this situation ICO investor's are not come to cryptocurrency market. Why that project scammed please info anyone??
Many scam projects happen because the ICO market is not yet properly regulated. Also the law protecting the investors are not sufficient so they are complacent.

The people behind majority of the scams are aware that this market wouldn't last long so I think they just took advantage of it before it gets unpopular. They are also aware that many people in this space (including them) just want easy money, so they took advantage of it.

Why scammers want to scam other people ? Because this is how they love to make money . They don't want to develop new technologies and work hard for a long time to introduce them into people's lives. They prefer to trick away other people's money, because in most cases such things in the crypto space goes unpunished.

Nah, fake ICOs can easily be identified, not so easily, but it’s better to take hours in studying an ICO to know if it’s fake than to invest in it and be expecting profit only to be disappointed at the end. But whenever I want to invest in any project I start with checking the team to know if they are truly what they claim to be. I check for their LinkedIn profiles and everything. Then the whitepaper and website follows, then the rest.

In this market there were no restrictions and laws, so the scammers cleverly took advantage of this and cheated millions of hamsters. In addition, they did not even want to create a product, rolled out the idea, collected money and hid Embarrassed

Because in most cases it seems to me that people do not want to do anything, because they just want to get money, but this is hard work and we understand this today, I am sure that it will return to them in a different form.

Since the market goes down we meet some ico's that being scammed but not we are facing some success and waiting that many the market recovers to avoid loss price of tokens before it get listed in some exchanges.
Instead, better to hope that the project will be listed instead of thinking of the value being down, chances to increase is possible when its ready inside the exchange, but until that time ico's can still proceed and scam investors money instead of being listed inside exchange, there's lots of cases that happened along the way and until now most of those ico's are still ain't showing any progress.

not all ICOs are scams, but most are scams. well, this can be explained because an unprofessional team, as well as ICO, is a fraudulent way to deceive ordinary people. well, for those who don't do research information, of course this can be an advantage for scammers.

In this world I believe that where money flows in easily will become a target from bad eyes ,this is where scammers comes in ,since 2017 last bullrun ICO has became a target  but alas very soon IEO will eradicate all these present issues
I hope that IEO will totally remove those scammers here in cryptocurrencies. As we saw the year 2017, bitcoin hit an all-time high not knowing that scammers have a lot of investors who actually scammed by them. They take advantage of the market and use it to scam a lot of big investors at that time.

These fraudsters have been there for a long time. They use bad situations to get money without having to work. This also makes many investors stop investing. We must be more vigilant and careful in investing. Take your time to do research.

IEO will not completely eliminate the scam in the ico space, there is already a IEO exit scam happened in the chinese community, you should only invest in IEO when the exchange is trusted, people should be careful when investing, they need to do a research first before invest and they should keep in mind invest what you can afford to lose.

Don't worry it will one day cease, because IEO is going to replace this ICO crowdfunding, if there is no regulation happening we shall soon see the demise of ICO in cryptocurrency, because this is the one thing that stopped new people coming in, to cryptocurrency.
Yes, you are right, IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is much more attractive for investors than ICO. IEO is launched on the exchange itself and quite quickly reaches HardCap. The STO (Security Token Offering) concept is also interesting, it is safer for investors.

Scammers always come at any time, this is what makes the market red, I'm sure when they get crypto they immediately sell to fiat so that the price drops.

Since ICO has not trusted anymore the new is the IEO and we can say that IEO is legit because it is already on good exchangers so why we should afraid to invest?we must try to gain  trust now to recover losses on the past so try the OEO investments and dont forget to look at yanu.io ieo.

Well i think is also the fault of too much investors who invest on most if ICOs, and also the fault of scammers who make ICOs, but now i hope with IEOs will not be so much scams, and i hope investors will make profit.

Of course that would be their practice because they would not keep it in an exchange, They convert it immediately to fiat and leave the market, although some of these scammers are still among those making investment, some of them still end up being the whales too with the amount of money they have scammed from people.

ICO market has already been polluted, so I think the most focus of people now, especially investors is on IEO projects, at least we still have some faith in IEO projects based on the judgment of the reputable companies that carried out the project for the public to buy into.

in any business or industry there will always be scammers who exploit someone's ignorance and lack of experience such as new investors, for example.
I think this will be everywhere without exception. there are many ico projects that scam in 2017 until now, I think this is one of them which makes a sense of lack of trust and the collapse of the crypto market.
so we will really need regulation

There is no exact reason because a scammer always wants to scam people's money! It is the bad people's nature! The crypto market has many noobs and non-reader users who don't read things and easily get involved in a scam project! So, some smart scammer came out with a good looking website and some team member and then they scam people's money! But people are very smart now and that's why there are very few scams ICO project at this moment and ICO market is almost dying!

Scammers use the leak of the systems, the psychology of the free money hunters. Social engineering tricks are commonly used by the social media platform scammers. Scam projects can easily be exploited by the experienced, professional investors who have seen thousand times of same broken promises on the project whtiepaper.No concrete reason why they have chosen this way of making money. Dishonest people have no nationality, no special limits, no sense of duty and more.
