We have seen scam projects in our environment and markets in a very long time, not only today. Especially at the beginning of last year, we saw so many project advertisements that many of these projects had made serious grievances and caused many users to experience serious damage and experience in this investment vehicle. Although the market conditions are bad today, and ICO projects are under-invested, unfortunately, the scammers do not give up on some things and are constantly raising money with different scam projects. The best and most guaranteed way to protect against fraud is through research again. My advice is do not invest 1 USD in any project without doing any research.

I certainly agree with you. There are lots of so called shitcoins around so we should be aware of it. We must be smart enough to choose where to invest. Having enough knowledge about a certain coin is an advantage.

1. Privcy
Privacy was a free airdropped coin which was distributed freely over the community for helping promoting the project. Later, they decide to reward more to the holder of the coin in airdrops. The more coin you hold, the more airdrop coin you get. Newbies started to buy coins for getting more airdrop coin and DEV were selling their coin. I am sure they had a lot of fake accounts participating in the Airdrop. Can you believe they scammed people in such a way? Now, the project is died, 24 hour volume is- $620 which was less than $100 couple of weeks ago.

Please also list here which exchange they were/are listed!

2. Profish
Profish was an ICO which came into the exchange before the bounty end. They were listed in mercatox and used to have some fake volumes. I don't know what happened to their ICO but they sold a lot of coins through mercatox and later, the price is now 1 or 2 satoshi from 650 satoshi. This is also a dead project. They scammed people.

I joined their bounty before and stayed a week there, they pause the campaign! saw that there is no volume on mercatox!

3. Helios Protocol- Be aware
Helios Protocol is now airdropping coin to their community. This attract my eyes when I see user vectisitch was vouching the project. He was a moderator in privcy, so, there's no doubt that both of the project are from same person and this helios shit is also going to scam money. I want to alert you guys not to invest in this scam project.

Luckily now we have ICOEthics to check if ICO project which we're going to invest in is scam or not. As I can see ICOEthics is working really good in this forum by detecting so many scam ICO projects. Let's help ICOEthics find out more scam ICO Smiley

agree with you, mostly ico project start on middle 2018 until now has many of them was fake, after they rob investor money, didnt pay bounty participant, and then run after that.
I don't know how people can get away with this scams. If the development teams are doing the scam then it means that those coins are not safe to invest in and people should find other coins to invest.

Regarding about those airdrops it depends upon the project and the team.

Looks like their main purpose is really to scam and that is why they are making it higher.
That is already a go signal that it will run at the end. They cannot just give freebies like that for the number of unlock tokens will go higher which means lesser value for their coins.
They cannot sell it but will rely on buyers who will give them ETH or BTC.

To learn more about the scam projects you need to visit the scam accusation section guys where you can find lot of exposed crypto projects with the proof.

This thread also need to moved there.
I guess it is still right to be posted here since the topic is not just accusing projects as scam ones but what are the scammers' method or how we might fall to scam projects.

Profish has not been clarified. And in my opinion, they are too complicated because until now all participants have not received tokens. We really need to be careful when working on the Bounty project. Thank you for your analysis and I think this is very useful.

Now that most of the people are well aware of scam ICOs, scammer has found another way to scam people. I have observed 3 projects till now which I will list here and give you a highlights how they scam people, specially the newbie.

1. Privcy

Very good analysis, indeed we have to believe that most ICOs are frauds that they use cunning strategies to get big profits in various ways, we have to admit that they are very good with wild marketing schemes so they can attract most people around the world, Thank you for sharing here, but this is no secret, it has been happening in the last few years, now the culmination of problems and unfortunately some of us do not understand everything we have shared here, do not let everything repeat because of ignorance.

Helios is not a scam project from what I can see. I know it a little bit because it is one of the liquidity programs I have been following since last year. I think the specific person you are talking about could be a scammer,,, but this does not automatically mean the project itself is one.

If someone tricks you with Bitcoin, for example, does it make Bitcoin a scam? Of course not, right?

Of course,,, what you say is good to watch out for. Nothing is free that is good in this world of crypto Wink

Unfortunately the Mercatox Exchange is working in very ugly ways. They are helping the scammers and many people know about it. I think there would be some punishments for that Exchange. There is a finished ICO project which is Athero, they seems to complate the ICO with $20 millions and their coin THO start exchanign in Mercadox. They made a big fake volume and after 20 days (today) there is no buyer left. So i believe that the THO coin will fade with the help of the Mercatox!

Do you really want to know how many scam sites are there and those who are caught and still running well better bookmark this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/icoethics-scam-list-2018-2019-5110020 The list keeps growing and I'm sure those on your list are already here people should take a look if the coin they are investing or promoting are already listed.
Thanks for the link, it's a useful thread to link down all the scam ICO caught by ICOEthics, Feb 2019 already found 33 scam project, yeah make sure to check the Scam Accusations before promote or investing ICO, I think we can't caught all the scam, but at least investor and bounty participants can reduce the chance of being cheated.

This is very fantastic post. You are really fighting corruption and such signals will aid to light off the scam ICO project and when this continues at no time there will be sanity in the ico project.
