The problem is, investors are easily persuaded by a good white-paper, credible team (which is usally fake), a good web design, and good investment return promises. That is why conducting a research before investing is a must, if you can join any of their social group such as telegram, twitter, fb or any platform where you can ask questions directly to the team, do so.
You obviously have not really mingled online with people who invest! They don't even really need a whitepaper or do their own due diligence. They just look up a rating on ICObench, look for a few youtubers and even just listen to Mcafee or Molina.
People are people. They believe in dreams and fast returns. Sad but they don't even really care or understand about whitepapers or teams.
