Those are characteristics used by team previously and you are right
Modern characteristics

- team gives you all updates and answers every question regarding growth and development
- team lists on a crypto currency exchange with good volume; good price
- team continues to promise and promise and promise
- team then starts to dump discretely and list on another exchange
- team dumps substantial amount of tokens in exchange and never reply development questions
- team abandons telegram groups to telegram moderators
- token dumps and get delisted
- telegram moderators are forced to quit groups
- project dies mysteriously

Yes, it's a terrible feeling when the team suddenly become poor in communication and no update from their social media. Also, the guaranteed profits like Bitconnect promised to their investors, in crypto everything is uncertain do not fall on this kind of scheme.

[nakata121]

As a bounty hunter, of course we will feeling annoyed and angry when the project that we follow ends with a fraud, especially if we do invest in the ICO project, surely in addition to anger we will get substantial losses both regarding time, work and money we have invested, now indeed we have to be very careful in choosing a bounty and ICO project so that we can avoid the scam project.

Scam team has right plans but investors and community doesn't understand the main reason. Always promising for big work like top exchange or partner with top company. That's was so cool " team plans to take vacation. You won't banned, if you are asking for development or roadmap plans even for scam projects.

[dataispower]

It's true that when a team gives deaf ears to the community, it's obviously going to turn out scam. But sometimes this is not the case with a few projects, some do not understand that communication with community matters a lot. Well personally any project which stops giving updates about their development for long, I dump their coins and move on.

Haha. These are hilarious. Well these are what you look out for after investing already which I think its a late time to do due diligence on a project. The best time is before investing your funds, what are the red flags you look out for? Some examples are, newly created Telegram and social media accounts, Whitepaper plagiarism, team profile not available for confirmation on linkedin and social media, unreadable smart contract on Github, shady token allocation and metrics and so on

Yes, the above mentioned items of the OP are not the real items to be looked out for before investing in any project. It is already too late if you found out that those items are present in one of your invested projects. But if in case you encountered those items after you invested, you need to get rid of those coins as much as possible, if it has still value in exchanges. Don't wait too long, because you might end up bag hodler of worthless coins.

I remember asking a simple question in a community forum and I was removed for no reason. I observed the roadmap and asked why the team ain't following the roadmap. I was holding the coin and removing me from that group made me lose hope on that project, since project development was too slow and team hardly give updates. I counted my loss and dumped the coin.  In essence, any project without solid development over time or no updates to the community  is going to fail. Let's be careful what we invest in.

They held IEO, and then lock the token purchased by the investor when the pre-sale or a private sale. Bounty participants will receive tokens 6 months later. Market down almost 500% after first release on market, and Team, they gone. Their telegram group become promotion channel after that.

Good projects often have specific plans and they always follow the roadmap they wrote. I think that if a project clears the investor's question, that project is definitely problematic and you should not learn more about that project because it will definitely make your investment worse. I have encountered a lot of these cases in the past and it makes me feel very depressed and I tend to sell more.

That's a very shady act from the team removing you with invalid reason. However, you did a good job dumping the coin you are holding which has a high chance of being a shitcoin at the end. There are so many fake projects that are being left behind by the devs itself and the investors.

A well managed and potential project give us a direct directions of where the project is really going by being transparent enough and giving us updates of what is the recent activity, etc.

The scammer project team will be increasingly bored responding to their community until finally silencing their community, a sign like this will easily identify the scammer project.

And it seems to me that majority of the projects offered in the ICO/IEO/STO market right now and even before have these characteristics.

Well, to be fair with them, if this is annoying to us, they are also annoyed by community members constantly bugging them about the dates of development announcements, or product release, the partnerships that are going to be entered to, and so many information. But since the community is everything to them, they must handle such stuff properly and with cool. The moment a project treats community inquiries, suggestions, recommendations, and the like with annoyance or even hostility, they already failed.

a good points there for those mad fellow who think this comunity are for scam and be rich overnight ,but some stilluse fake pics for others to use and get the funds to move on also can create a bad market for the token in other word to let it show little hope for the buyers or investors and later disappear .

i dont even think of getting involve in any project now with all that this bear has expose in a big time.

That is a sign of scam. But until everything is complete, it is definitely our mistake. I have some awareness, that they promise a lot and make sure to list it on some major exchanges.
Those are the common fantasies of fraud projects that we need to avoid.

no wonder if a project offers sweet promises to investors and other crypto communities, because it includes a form of seeking attention so that investors are interested in joining in it. This needs to be considered once again before investing in a project, make sure that it is a good project and you should always be careful. Never accept a large gift offer.

Huge discounts in the early sale.

Prelisting on the shit exchanges.

Faking project team's document.

Faking project reviews.

Faking social media engagement.and much more...

Actually there are many characteristics in a fraudulent project but what I hate the most when the stake calculation has been completed but the gift of prizes that enter our wallet is only half of what is written in this spreadsheet is not fun, why should the team do that even though it has become our right to join the project, be honest, O team, so that the ICO project will continue to grow.

no its not your rights to join thier project but its them because they are the owner  .

 they can accept or reject you when you apply  but if let say your already accepted and you saw your rewards already calculated on thier spreadsheet and they dont make any announcement about the reward changes  then its really thier fault if they wont pay as what they promised or written on the sheets  .

 you can accuse them by making a scam accuse on the scam accusiation board as long as you supply the format with the correct info/data   .

I agree that projects that do not have good communication to their communities can be categorized as failed projects. The team developer should respect the community and investors because the community and investors of a project can run and to maintain the trust of both, the developer team must actively provide information

[whtchocla7e]

Some key features of a fraud project, if you encounter it, stay away immediately. Besides, a good project always has enthusiastic support from the project, the way of working and the remarkable news.
