I think the big enemy of Crypto is scammers. All trust will be lost if it has been hit by scammers. I think Scammers must be destroyed immediately, at least we should be able to know, if we already know, I suggest giving information on social media or here so friends know.

Well you should better to invest in crypto not in the ICO's, many scam projects these days so keep off if you feel not safe to invest, just invest in trusted crypto like the top 100 in coinmarketcap.

[GamblingIsWrongWay]

Along with the advancement of technology and the development of cryptocurrency itself, there will always be people who commit crimes or fraud that have recently often occurred in the crypto world.
In my opinion, this is indeed requires policies and regulations about cryptocurrency so that there is no fraud or illegal acts from the scammers.
And of course we ourselves must avoid our involvement from scam so as not to harm others.

Not until we start seeing crypto scammers get arrested for real many new investors won't join,I have friends that won't join crypto because of scammers running away with ICO funds forever ,no way to arrest them and get the funds out of them,the few news I read about getting some scammers is not enough ,the more there is an effective way the less scammers will harm crypto

You just have to stop investing in all the projects in a row and start looking for quality projects for a long and hard time, and then you can stop falling into fraudulent projects.
If you are unable to find a good project at all and you are constantly losing your money, then maybe you had better stop investing at all.

Salient points made but I will like to chip in that ICOs are not the only aspects of crypto... We have a thousand and one cryptocurrencies in the market and some have shown to have great potentials already.. Using ICOs as excuse not to join crypto is an ignorant decision which i believe many might regret making in the nearest future..

This case continues because it is very difficult to catch hackers, we hunters cannot do much because of the lack of information and strength here. I think as soon as possible there is a hacker exterminator body because it is very detrimental to everyone if there is no action they will never stop.

Arresting crypto scammers will not stop the activity of investors investing into scam projects and getting their money robbed from them. The only solution to this problem, is by educating all crypto investors on spending some quality amount of time to research on  any project they come across in the crypto ecosystem  before deciding to either invest or recommend to any body for them to invest in.  This will limit the amount of scam projects available in the crypto space....

One of my concerns is that can crypto be outrightly scam free? The reason for this is that, we might not see regulation any time soon. The government is also waiting for more adoptions first before regulating. The problem now is, investors might not want to adopt considering the rate of scam.
The risk in cryptocurrency is high as a result of this.

[Wayrey2020]

Scamers have been since and not in crypto only so the are everywhere and in organizations, the only way we can help ourselves is by being careful. Scamers are never ready to give up on this as far as they still make some money from it and there are no rules in crypto which makes everything worse,

[chocopapaya]

I would say that knowledge will dispel any fears.
You can start by applying it to your own ideas about crypto.

Have you ever thought about doing some research on how many actual real scams there have been with ICOs?
Someone complaining on bitcointalk doesnt count.
But the rate of ICOs that actually do run away and steal peole's money.

Then, compare that to ICos that don't, and you will find tat the percentage of getting scammed is very low.
Saying, "Let's arrest these scammers!" is unrealistic and does nothing.

Regulations and law enforcement are different in each country.
In America, in order to "Arrest the scammers" you would have to vote for a legislator that has that on their platform.
Then you would put pressure on local district attorneys to enforce those laws.
None of that gets done by just saying we should do it on bitcointalk.

Scammers always want to try take advantages in many fields and in cryptocurrency market, we should make research first before investing. Scammers in crypto hard to trace because most wallet are anonymous. I think this is the reason why ICOs should be regulated by government

indeed there are many scammers who try to cheat new users or traders who are easily affected by the profits generated, therefore you should not be easily affected by what is on some internet media because there are so many scammers scattered.

[adterna]

ICO scammers are hard to catch, how to catch them, I am confused, and worse how to recover investor funds that have been brought by scammers, I think it is very difficult and scammers damage the image of cryptocurrency and this must be immediately removed immediately.

[futile-resistance]

That is why many thinks centralization and regulation will bring much sanity into the system. Many people have lost thousands to millions of dollars for good with their bad deed been investing in a project or ICO.

And what about the investment market of securities is not who has not lost money. And investment in real estate. And other areas of investment. Yes, any business built on credit is an investment. So now this difficult dangerous game is complaining.

I think there are scammers all around and this thing could not be eliminated in the presence of internet. Scammers are actually the guys with lots of expertise so they can easily deceive a man having no knowledge about something he wants to invest in.

This is what happened with so many ICOs in which people put in their money due to the hype these scammers would create on internet and hence lost their money.

[Little Mouse]

i believe scamming activities has reduced now in cryptocurrency because people are now wiser and things have changed so it will be difficult to perform any type of scamming. SEC will hunt them down.

You have zero idea about scam project, I guess because scammers around has been increased from previous and it will continue, they will always find new tricks however, the recent step by some of the forum member has helped to reduce the scammer in ICO, they always bamboozle the scammers with publishing there fake team or fake project

[BitBustah]

Its just like the real world, most scammers don't get caught.  This isn't a problem exclusive to crypto.  There is only so much the authorities can do and they have limited resources.  If you are concerned about thieves running free, think about all the murderers roaming the streets.

[ariyzt]

because nothing law on crypto that can make the scammer go to jail unless you reporting by local or international police, but that gonna be hard for sure

Scammer here in crypto have the guts to scam people here through ICO projects. Because there is no regulations in it.
They always taking advantaging with it in crypto currency. This is the truth happening here in this business industry.
That's why We always need to be careful in investing ico or participating in any project campaign.

Aside from without regulations, basically everyone can create their own project and hold ICO anonymously. Because there are so many naive users that blindly trust these people, these scammers find it so easy and made this as their playing ground of stealing money. They can disappear into thin air very easily. And yes, this is the major reason why ICOs are dying. I wonder how IEOs will end up to?
