How to know when an IPO is a scam?

[precrime3]

It seems even that with a trusted escrow, the general concensus is that any coin with a IPO and any percentage of premine is a pump- and-dump-profit-scam-run-away-to-hawaii-and-ride-in-my-laborghini. Im asking this as I would like to invest in some coins (not naming coins, unless relevent as I do not want a flame war between trolls and puppet accounts) by buying a stake in the IPO, but IDK which ones are legit, and which ones are scam.

Stick with BTC and LTC and you won't go wrong.

I know, but there are some promising new coins, and I like taking a risk on getting a piece of NEW pie if that makes sense

Always use a trusted escrow. If feedback from other investors are bad u should cancel. Always go for innovative coins

Edgecoin? They are using Annonxxx (forgot the numbers) I would like to invest in them, but IDK if I can make the cut-off date. I would also like to invest in The Munich Project, but IDK if all the people in thread are calling it a scam just FUD spreaders/ trolls or not. I will look back and see what coins I'm interested in that have a IPO currently, and post here to see what you guys think.

the ones that are built on trust aren't scam (i.e. SatoshiCoin is based on trust of Bitcoin Blockchain).  all the Public Keys are listed publically, pretty much proving that we have a structured plan.

Whenever it says IPO

Same as in real life. If someone says you have to send them money before you can make it you may as well just use a lighter on that $100 bill

My judgement? I prefer doing research Which is kinda hard to do, as when looking through threads all you see is scam, IPO scam, shove this up where the sun don't shine, etc...
