I just joined an ICO, is there any possibilities that I will be scammed. They have just collected $5-10 million.
There are possibilities of scam, especially if most of them just a whitepaper project, meaning only a project with idea without working product. But you shouldn't be worried if you invested in a famous one because usually they are legit. There are a lot of icos that haven't release their product yet after a long time but there are also some with great dev that keep progressing onto their roadmap.

I think it will all come down to how they are actively recheck and record the activities of the members specially if the update is weekly. You can also check it if the community that you have joined are full of outstanding admin and manager.

If you feel you might be scammed, then you need to check it. Whats the ICO name? You need to do research and check if the forums have mentioned it anywhere.
There is might a possibility that Ico will be scam, if they just collected a huge amount of money and at the end they will suddenly disappeared. As we know still there is ico a legit ones in this case if in doubt research should always do.

Some are scams, some are money laundries, but many of them turn out to be a legit crowdfunding project. Some of the legit ones are bound to fail but others are going to succeed and build value.

NOT All ICOs are scams. If you joined one there will be a slight chance that the one you joined is a successful one. Just read their portfolios and white papers for more information about their project if you want assurance and safety.

I saw many ICOs already , the percent of success in ICO is only 20% , but if you hit the right one, your profit will be x10 times. So that explains why many people are still investing in ICO even most of them are scam projects.

its so unfortunately for you. in my opinion ico is not a scam. ico is a new way to develop the business by gathering or seek a support from people by funding the money that will be use to doing the project. the investors will be payed back by the token or coin that can be used in the platform with particulat advantages. so ico not a scam. maybe this kind of thing still new and this kind of way still on developing.

From what I noticed a lot of brand new accts holding ICOs can be scams. One of the best way to find out of an ICO is a scam is try calling them on a phone or ask them a bunch of questions. Scammers normally won't like giving out a lot of information about themselves. There are some ICOs that are "legit" in the sense they don't run off with the money, but they might not produce what they said they will or simply too incompetent to do the project. Basically they take your money and buy time until the project loses hype or dies off completely.

Be an observer when an ICO is a scam. It is ok if you are part of bounty campaign. The ones who are greatly affected are those who invest. Those who joined bounty can dumped those coins without investing money. But those who invested money while the ICO is a scam will get negative profit and just burn down their money.

We should accept the fact that some ICO are totally a scam. It’s hard to determine whether it’s a good project that will result successful at the end or it’s considered to list of scam project.
We should consider few things before we can invest for some ICO. Better to check the quality of the project, its unique features that other project don’t have. Make some research about the real status and the reputation of team behind the project if it’s real or not.

I have been involved as an investor in a few ICOs and I know there are decent ones out there. Research should profit you OP or any other person going into  ICOs as that woukd enable you sieve through the scamming ICOs. Bitbase just proved it by running away with investors money. Just do your research before investing.

They collected big money already, and ussualy by that amount this project will succes and continue entered to the market. In my opinion many ICO legit now and has working product that uniqe and interesting. Now we should spend more time and doing some research to find it, like learn about purpose of the project, what problem they want to be solved and know in detail basic personality of team founder.

I don't mean to spoil your fun though most ICO's are a scam. There is not much you can do about it other than to not invest in it.

yes ICO is a scam but it can be avoid do not join the ICO very quick just wait for a week or two see there spreadsheet if it is a legit ICO but if the spreadsheet is not updating bewarned just find another ICO until you feel that ICO is safe and no problem at all

This is very stupid advice.
You can't say that ICO is scam just because someone did or didn't updated bounty spreadsheet.
There are more important things to look at such as team, roadmap and other things, spreadsheet is not one of them.

The table can be faked. Therefore, it is very important to study the project and be able to analyze it in general. It's useless to sit feedback too, because often they are made from fake accounts
