I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud!

on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !!
and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens!
with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects HuhHuhHuh

It is as it always has been, you using it to shitpost.
I do agree with you that a lot of them look real but seeing scams icos and coins for so many years it is quite hard to believe more than a handfull of projects are of any future.

Edit:
To be honest, this is insane. Like who offers such services for just $20? Well it's a good thing that the ICO market got naturally shutdown due to the decline in the investors patronizing them generally.now i understand the reason why we always see thousands of new start up projects without any real life solutions just a plagiarized whitepaper and a fancy whitepaper
When doing something simple to do, cheaply, price fall down naturally just as ICO's, as you saying.
Edit2: How the hell a newbie "always" complains about ico?

This here is one of the reasons we ended up with 70% scam ICOs between 2017 and 2018. It is so easy to build a template website while plagiarizing whitepapers. For as low as $50, scammers can cash out millions siphoned from unsuspecting investors all in a short period of time. I am glad that this disgusting trend has been nipped in the bud finally.

Every where there is business transaction that involves my money, you don't need to know how scams or fraud erupts. It is usually some greedy people's habit to take advantage of whatever is catching people's attention to making money. And with the knowledge of technology people can easily build the project site to decieve and get people down. And that's why we need every details to recognize them.

This is not a new things. Scammers are doing this for a long time because of the ease of creating a token and launching an ICO. The total cost for launching an ICO perfectly is below than $500 and scammers are taking that chance.
It is true that it is not easy to detect ICO fraud or not but it is not that hard. Very few scam ICO are well planned. If investor takes a deeper look at everything, it is easy to decide whether it is scam or not.

In fact, this is part of the market and it is indispensable. If it's one of the really good and international projects, why not raise capital in a centralized market and need an ICO in a decentralized market? more than 95% of ICO projects with high rewards are fraudulent projects today. This is also a big part of the decentralized financial market because no one can guarantee the security of your assets. So when investing, think carefully. Especially in the current economic situation, we can not make a lot of money during this period.

We cannot complain about those jobs that we took.
We picked them. It is not them who picked us.
At the end, it is our choice.

If they fail to make the right amount from the offering then so be it. They will vanish.
But don't lose hope. Maybe someday you will find the right ICO that will make you some good money.
We cannot blame others from making a wrong decision.
Researching deep will only be the answer for picking the right project that you will support.

During the time ICO was famous, there are many members or professional who knows about blockchain and coding taking advantages of the process and we cant persecute them all in a swoop. Yes, if they can be caught, then they must be punish by the law but the thing here is the decentralized nature of blockchain cannot pinpoint these people. How many have run away already for this and keep repeating the same fraud by introducing newer project? Ive guess for now, we can do is to avoid ICOs so rhey cant scam or steal money from investors.

Fraud among ICO projects will go away when states begin to regulate this type of activity, that is, the relevant state authorities will check and register the team of each ICO project, and possibly issue licenses for this type of activity. Then it will be easy to apply to such a team in court at the place of registration, because everything will be official. In the meantime, the period of the wild west continues in the activities of ICO projects. However, sooner or later, it will end in vain.

The scammers will do anything they can to trick people, and not just using that way. Sometimes, they use email, promotion, or even send a gift to many people to attract them to participate in their project. But unfortunately, that is a big trap to get big money that will be sending their money to that scammer. That link is one of many examples for someone that is trying to open doors to someone to use that way to trick the people, and maybe, there is many more like that which we don't know.

So what is your point in posting things like this then?? Do you think that this is still new here already. Oh I forgot, you're the new here since you are a newbie ranked Tongue.

imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers
At first place, why are the investors are getting scammed when they invest on a new project? Because they aren't doing their own research and they are just investing because that is what they saw in the internet. Because these are the projects who is the noisiest in different social media platforms. Because they saw some popular crypto enthusiasts saying something about their project.

What lies beyond that things are the facts that they will just scam you because scamming in an ICO right now is very easy as long as you know how to attract investors. What is the best thing to do to prevent this?? Don't fooking invest on these new projects and focus on investing on old coins. Is this really hard to do or understand?? There are many established and trusted coins out there already. Why do they need to invest in these fooking new projects.

Yes, I agree that the most trusted investment place at the moment is the Launchpad binance, because the binance always makes a very extraordinary job that can benefit everyone, so the right choice for investing at this time is the Launchpad binance.

This is a typical event here on crypto. Scammer busy laying some traps on newbies and investors. There is nothing new here OP. You cant possibly stop those guys from soing evil things here especially if its involve money. 2017 up to now, you can see how those scammers evolve like the innovation of cryptocurrency. Very scary to know that they are professional in this kind of business.

That's right, now everyone is very smart at seeing projects and also very smart at making research on any project, and this I think is very reasonable for everyone to do, because in the last few years there have been very many scammers on most projects.

That is why investors started being smart, however, there are still a lot of investors who still fall victim to scam ICOs and IEOs. Even scam projects look legitimate, good thing that ICO reviews and known personalities promoting an ICO have lesser impact this day unlike during the alt season.

In 2017 and 2018, there were a lot of projects done the way you described to scam investors. They only need to spend $ 100-500 to create everything about a new project. Then do bounty at this forum to attract investors, then they have received hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars from each fake ICO they created.

As time goes by, investors are learning from the past. The reduction of interested people investing to ICO was massive. They've learned a lot from the known bear market 2 years ago and it became helpful to determine the scam and fraud projects.
We can't handle those people who are selling service to create tokens but, if these greedy people stop thinking of availing that service then these developers might stop offering too.
