If you come across any of these points you have every right to be suspicious

[Rowenta]

Most especially for newbies, be curious and suspicious when you come across these in crypto space projects

1. Cheap website design of an IEO project, most especially the blue like website that's very common since ICO days for example https://pzmcash.com

2. Teams can hardly take good pictures, I mean team pictures that looks too blurry on IEO project website, how hard can it be that team can't take neat high def pictures of themselves?

3. Team using same picture of themselves they used on website on their social media profiles like LinkedIn or Facebook

4. Team decide to stay anonymous

5. Team using crappy exchanges like p2pb2b or vindax or latoken and they start claiming they sold out, when was the last time that projects sold out on these shit exchanges??

Also look for documentation. The projects using the same text on website as whitepaper and announcement threads are 99% scams. And try to find if the text they cooked is plagiarized or not. Plagiarism is the first sign that the project owner are thief.
Another thing to watch over is tokenomics, specially how do they plan to reward their investors. Sometimes there's nothing to provide the coin with value while sometimes the promises are too good to be true, avoid both.

[Ceyflix-Rez]

Good one OP, plagiarism should be on the list too, it's very common nowadays among new projects and also repetitive projects that have nothing new to show to the world but good lists though

[Sourhearrt]

Lol I like your second point OP, this happened with kingcasino scam project, you can easily see that the team aren't real because the pictures on the websites looks blurry somehow like it was copied and pasted, also no single video of the team were shared

[Coyster]

3. Team using same picture of themselves they used on website on their social media profiles like LinkedIn or Facebook

It means they are impersonating photographs of others, prolly popular figures, and they have limited access to pictures since it's not theirs. Fake project devs do this so anyone curious who researches about the project will wrongly think they are real and that the team behind the project exists.

5. Team using crappy exchanges like p2pb2b or vindax or latoken and they start claiming they sold out, when was the last time that projects sold out on these shit exchanges??

Projects that use pump and dump scheme to deceive investors use these exchanges, it's their go to exchange to manipulate the price and volume (even when there is no volume) of their token; and since the exchanges are crap, they dump them there as well.  

[Maxstl007]

It's a bad sign when new projects use exchanges or plan to use exchanges like p2pb2b, it's probably possible that the project is a complete scam Project or they have no knowledge about which or what exchange is better which rarely happens

These things easily indicate that one can atleast avoid crappy or obvious scammy projects but it definitely needs open eyes some analyses and decision to say no to even luring projects. It is sad to see that people still fall for low quality projects when they can easily wait and find a quality project.

Anyone that can take all these into consideration will easily sieve out any scammy like project. And also checking of documents will also help in doing this.

You have stated very good points;but still it is a complicated scenario; there are projects who are not anonymous and slowly delayed and died down the project in a suspicious way leaving investors and hodlers with nothing. Any project linked with p2pb2p2 should be totally ignored; any project linked with vindax or latoken should be totally ignored too.

I hope that every newbies here can read the OP but i doubt they will understand that given that they are still new to cryptospace and all they follow are the sweet-talking of these so-called project developers. OP's right, how come the team can't provide a neat picture that represent themselves to show soon-to-be investors that their project is legit.

Low quality web interface, beginner level website layout and poor color schemes are a red flag for me. I try to skip projects that do not attract me at the first impression it just tells me how serious the project and team is about the venture.

It not about newbies only for the investors that invest base hype cant be excluded. I used some minutes of my time to check on the project but i don't see something that sweet about the project which will lure investors into their trap. Besides, there's nothing about the project concept and if it happens to be a genuine project i don't see it flourish in future.

[tycsols]

Personally i hate when team of a project or their representatives do not take their own commitments seriously or keep changing their statements  the worst thing is if we have already invested in such a project seeing these things is very discouraging and usually for me it puts a negative impression about the project and i try to exit from such project.

Scam projects usually make good promises at the start that are only too good to be true and their statement keeps changing particularly when the campaign is almost over. To avod this scam projects, be more suspicious and even cautious by checking carefully the background of the team behind the project if they are not using other names for legitimacy. Second is through their whitepaper. Check thoroughly if its not copied from those previous successful projects which are already known to the bount hunters.

[aemma]

All these points are true and sadly these projects will always tend to continue with their scamming activities because it seems there are people who invest in whatever they see because if that's not the case I think exchanges like P2PB2B would have gone down. Another point I want to add is that, the team will always avoid technical questions which will likely expose their lack of knowledge of the project they are building. Furthermore, just like you indicated, they type of exchange these projects host their IEO is also a good way of knowing how serious the team are because no good team will build a project and allow an exchange ruin it for them.

[maxreish]

In short, "FAKE TEAMS".
Project teams with low quality website is not only one of the ways to spot of the project is shady or not but also the team itself. Most are fakes, using someone else's pictures or names. Also, one thing is to know if the project has a useful product/objective or just promising impossible goal? Also, you can also spot suspicious projects just by joining their telegram group. Feasible developments is important, if one failed to show this and keep promising impossible events, it's one of the reason to be suspicious.

[Novatech8]

I always have something against low quality pictures of team members and lack of videos of the team, if you come across a well founded projects everything about information will be clean as crystal, when there isn't anything shady about a project you will know unless you want to believe

[mezzaluna]

Those are exactly the points that we need to research for when we are stumbling around new projects. We exactly need to do some research because IF they are legitimate, then the project would appear anywhere online. If the managers or creators of the project are real, they wont be scared to be publicly known because it is their creation and it would be great advertising if they can personally tell the people about the project they created.

Another point is to stay knowledgeable on how would you think that platform would work once it starts operating.

[Gorosden]

When new projects aren't properly built and you start seeing some awkward things like low quality pictures then something is way off, it's easy to detect scam projects with what OP listed on here honestly, same kinda thing that happened with kingcasino this year, a clearly scam project that still manages to run away with people's money

[tvplus006]

Very often, scammers do not publish photos of their team at all, explaining this by privacy and the fact that no one knows exactly who is the Creator of bitcoin. And often, such projects do not have a whitepaper. In addition, if you check the domain, we will see that it was registered just before the scam was launched.
