That is true as innovation in technology happens very often, scammers and hackers adapt to security measures that any company and forum does. Also even though a project is very questionable because of these warning signs though they are legit it is very hard to distinguish as they are the same with the scammers. The thing that users need: self regulation.

Very useful information. yeah, being scammed by the ICOs or bounties that spent our money or energy or time will be very weird and bad. I also felt that scam. however now, we must be able to avoid the scams by learning and analyzing more about the ICO or bounties that we are going to participate in. This consideration and analysis are very important and crucial to do. Your information is also very useful for us. Thanks so much.

Good observation. It takes times and efforts to do research about a project. But it is worthy to do because it can make us safe from online fraud projects.

I truly value your exertion for assembling this focuses. Yet, unfortunately, it's anything but difficult for the state than to execute. Presently the con artists have additionally developed their methods. They design a great deal ahead of time so it has turned out to be difficult to detect fake profiles from social media.

There has been various ICOs with legit team, roadmap and whitepaper; they also had huge community compares to others but still vanished with all the investors' money. Though good ICOs can be identified by following the steps you mentioned but scammers will come prepared with everything as they have understand that people are more aware now.

Scammers are there no matter what, though there will also be good quality ICOs to invest on, with legit team biuld ups, some users will still be losing money and going hayware on their investments. There are always prepared and aware scammers just as prepared and aware users are.

This post will be a lot helpful for the newbies here. We all know the red flags, we all are aware of the do's and don'ts, but still we fall prey for the trap. The key is to not be greedy. It is greed that blinds us from being sensible. Never go for the amount of the money, but go for the demand of the coin instead.

Thanks for this wonderful effort, this is much need in the Crypto space, because the rate at which scam project are popping up is giving cryptocurrency a bad name.

Not being scammed is not an achievement but a struggle every time. Scams though preventable in most cases sometimes comes in never predicted form. One of the key for not being scammed is patience. Don't take decisions in a hurry. Don't go after instant profit.

When investing in ICO projects you often worry will be fooled. Or you have been tricked so you do not want to continue investing in ICO projects. Have been cheated once you should experience not to be fooled twice. Consider who that investment, how capital and how to develop?

"I have seen a lot of ICO projects.I really appreciate your effort for putting this points together. thanks for the information it’s really helpful for me and all the newbies."

Thanks for the great effort. You have figured out some really important points. I think we should keep these things in our mind before taking any decisions.

This is very good information, especially for newbies. I remember when i first discovered crypto and ICO's, i was just randomly investing in a lot of ICO's just because they sounded good. Unfortunately this wasn't enough, you need to really inform yourself as much as you can before you make an investment.

I really appreciate your effort for putting this points together. But sadly, it's easy to say than to execute. Now the scammers have also evolved their techniques. They plan a lot in advance so it has become very hard to spot a fake social media profile. The attributes mentioned in the website can be sourced from a professional content writer which again becomes very tough to spot any anamolies.

It is little easier to spot a fake ICO projects through their twitter activities. I have seen a lot of ICO projects those who tweet about only their projects with a lot of jargons and copied text from their website. Only a handful of them post about their real pictures and their team members. Once you see an ICO is continuously posting about their participation in various crypto summits and their tours and sales pitches, you can at least trust that they are not fake and genuinely trying to get better attention.

I usually use this determination factor before joining any bounty program.

thanks for information...i think you can get merits from someone.thank you
