Topic: Are ICOs scam? - page 15. (Read 5447 times)
Like the others said, not all ICOs are scams. However, if you want to avoid getting scammed by the fraudulent ones, then you need to know everything about the ICO you are investing in. To tell you honestly, it's really hard to say if an ICO is a scam or not, except, of course, if you're going to do a full background check of the ICO's nook and crannies, that is, examining the people involved or behind the ICO, checking if they have budget escrow, and finally, it's not a run of mill project or in other words, it's not just a plan but they are really working for the project to happen.
Their are alot of scams in the ico's but for me not all the ico's are scam, we just need to be careful in what we are joining ico's, and i believe that if we have research and know our doing we can prevent from being a victim of scam, so we just need to be alert and careful. And also we just need to deeply figure out what is real or fake.
Yes there are a lot of scams but there are good ones too, you have to research deeply and figure out which is real and which is fake.
The posibility is quite low depending on the reputation of the team, the project behind the ICO and many other factors.
We can't say icos are scam but most of it seems scam these days. Ico means initial coin offering so every project that related to blockchain technology can make their own ico. That doesn't necessarily mean ico will be a scam. There are a lot of legit icos.
Yes it is true, and the fact that I experienced was a large profit when I invest ICO. I'm so glad because invest when ICO being the easiest way to get a huge profit. For example is when the Pre-ICO Populous World I invest around 10 ETH and if sold now I can get up to 350 ETH. 
Well SEC charged two ICOs for defrauding the investor today.

i like 5-10 milloin hardcap ICO's the big project doesnt't give profit to their participants in the short term but lower the 10 million hardcap ICO's can be 2x 5x 10x easily
I do not thing that ICOs are scam. So far i never heard that some one has been scammed. But it would be wise to do a bit of research before investing in anything. I think there are some really good ICOs out there, it is only up to you to find what you want and which is best for you. At the end, i guess the only question is will it succeed or not. Chose wisely.
Uncontrolled speculation is the basis of every ICO, they only offer projects that may not have been all-time-tested. The risks are huge but all can be overcome by escrow participation in their sales. This year many ico are responsible, if they do not touch the soft cap then the funds will be refunded back to investors. I never thought about the possibility of scam because I just think of it as a lottery.
and also, check their whitepaper, If the whitepaper is not just pile of nonsense words, pretty sure that it's worth investment, otherwise, big no.
Some ICOs really pure scam but some ICOs are legit. You should check their advisor and team member.

I heard that there are some ICO scam but of course there are a lot of legit ICO. Some of the coins just fail for some reason. The best thing to do is always research who released the coins. Check what are their plans in the future and how will they differ from the other coins in the market.

Unfortunately we are seing more and more scams each day. This is a great economy with so much profit potential so it's normal to see scams. To avoid them you need to be careful while chosing one to invest. Analyze them deeply before making your investment in an ICO.
I can not give you an accurate explanation of the ICO you follow, but sometimes you also have to consider many things before you follow ICO. like what projects they run, how they view and who the team is doing. I think those three things are one of the success factors of ICO. with that you will not get scam anymore.
I just joined an ICO, is there any possibilities that I will be scammed. They have just collected $5-10 million.
If I may know, what ICO do you follow?Usually, the cheat ico is when he disappears when ico has finished.
What does it mean 'they disappear'? How could it be possible?
Maybe they are referring on developers leaving their tokens for good. Take their money then leave the coin. I've been seeing 1 satoshi shitcoin values in YoBit and maybe those are the coins that are dead for good. No devs, no community with investors money stocked in a 1 satoshi coin that they can never recover unless some whales started pumping that shit.

if the sales when ICO reaches the target may be ICO will be successful and will not be scam.but if ICO is not successful it might be off and scam.
