I am not a victim of any of the scam projects in the article, but I have an acquaintance who is a victim of Bitconect. The sad thing is that he knew it was a scam but still engaged in the desire to make a profit before it collapsed, I believe a lot of people have the same thoughts as him.

I almost invested in bitconnect but somehow managed my self no to invest on it. I have been in a lot of projects who had their excuses and disappeared like a bubble. A project with no working product will not survive. Almost all of the lists that are in the article is true, I've been in a project who promises a good ROI in a small span of time is obviously too far from reality, no business or investment will double your money or will let you earn easy not unless it is not legitimate or scam. Be aware when investing, do your research, your money is your responsibility.

That was the saddest part of most of the investors in Bitconnect.
They knew that this is a scam but they still continue to invest hoping to get an easy profit from their investment.

This should have served as a lesson to him that if ever he knew that a project is a scam, he should have left immediately to avoid more losses.

I was almost a victim of Centra, almost but not. Nice list you have there but too few in a world mostly made up of scams. There are more than you can count actually. Have you heard of Titanium of Michael Stollaire? It was a quick sold-out as well. But, just like most of the ICO projects, it also ended up a scam.

I've never been a victim of the scams listed there, but one of the most popular scams is Bitconnect. Even my friends have been victims of this scam and have lost a lot of money here in our country.

I did not experience getting scammed but almost engaged some of it. During Bitconnect’s popularity way back 2017 I was almost tempted to invest in that ponzi stuff because of my ignorance but fortunately the scam was exposed early I consider myself lucky also teach me a lesson to do a research first before I invest in any project.

Great article to enlist exit scams that existed in the market. New people in crypto could learn about these scams in advance to further prevent having bad image to cryptocurrencies and related projects. This is one of the reasons having a central institution regulating and implementing policies to these services and ICOs would be beneficial in consumer's part. Scams would lessen since they someone would punish them if they're promises never made, or when consumer's rights are violated.

Not literally a scam, but a project with not yet listed on big or trusted exchanges for a long period of time been in 1 exchange that is hard to trust with, though teams are still active but finding it hard to be listed in known exchanges. The only way to get the earning in bounty rewards is to withdraw it as as fast as we can. Since two things might happen, the exchange closed or the ICO project exit even if their project seems interesting. We should be updated more after in projects we are investing with since chances are they will escape when things went down like our today's market.

I was Bitsane costumer because they list a project that I am working with, to spot on an exit scam we can identify it by looking at their service and customer service.
when some people have a problem with their service and their customer service does not bother explaining what happens with them, we can be sure that they are trying to put some act by ignoring the complaints while on the inside they are thinking how to make an excuse to solve this problem. One of the most used excuse was a hack, Bitsane claimed one of their internal did something behind their back caused a loss to their costumers assets and their service.

"No team details" ? I do not agree.
Showing team photos should be optional. Insisting that developers have team photos is probably why some are using fake photos.
There are other things you can demand for in place of team pictures.

Am referring to "no team details" on your article: https://selfkey.org/the-ultimate-list-of-exit-scams-how-to-spot-one/

Haven't experienced any scam project before but have experienced much project yet to list on any exchange but they keep promising year to year that they will list soon. It's a painful feeling to have such altcoin token in your portfolio

[Strongkored]

About working poduct being important but often forgotten by potential investors, and the working product is closely related to point number 2 imaginary projections, no working product will be launched if the project is far-fetched or absurd.

Honestly no team details and no working products are the fastest way to detect bad intent projects, imagine a scam project exiting with 30million dollars this is enough courage for scammers to keep evading crypto space

[TanakabZX]

I remember maplexchange, centra and bitconnect very well, its a big shame that the scammers exit and no arrest was made, these are reasons why scammers first aims are crypto, with the help of tokens they create many will fall victim, and it seems OP is not aware that today scammers comes out with real photos and addresses, they always have full team details now

[slaman29]

Anyone heard of the wework scam now? That is another example of how everyone who should have spotted the exit scam as early as 2017, did not.

And now when the house of cards came apart, everyone is acting so shocked.

I think more and more as things happen in this space, we all deserve to get scammed, if we all continue breathing life into the obvious scams that are populating the space.

No, that a victim of anyone of those scammers because I don't just invest on some projects with a big hype. The problem with those victims are they are thinking of big returns, huge ROI in short amount of time that's why they fall for this kind of traps.

Just like Centra, wherein Floyd Mayweather and other celebrities did endorsed it, so many irrational buyers jump on the bandwagon and it's too late that they found out that it was a scam.

FOMO's really attract investors who are not carefully doing their research, hoping that they will get something big in returned they just quickly follow those hypers and become a victim of those scam developer.
Good thing to read and examine all those information about how to quickly spot scam projects, by seeing one of those in criteria you can easily stay away.
