I think that doing crowdfunding through ICO is more dangerous than IEO.
In IEO, they have a third party (Exchanger) who manages the fund. So, the developer and the team cannot commit fraud easily.
And also the developer and the team need to pay a large fee to list it on their Exchange.

IEOs are a great opportunity to raise money on the falling market, because they are representing a very strong trend at the moment. Moreover, it gives a guarantee that those tokens that were sold are going to be listed on an exchange directly.
Absolutely correct, IEO means creating the positive purchaption in the investors mind and another thing is it's best way to huge funding collect to showing big exchange. And it's a big hype against ICO at the moment.
As the author said we must be careful what we are investing in. Dot get so closer to hype before you do your own research. Do not be so greedy otherwise you can loose a lot like any of the ICO.
To be honest, the combination of ICO and big exchange is really huge. That's why IEO is really popular on big exchange and sold out fast but when it listed on small exchange, the sell is low and not even sold out.
IEO is not 100% safe i agree, so i hope there is no problem on IEO in the future.
even developers team launched their crowdfunding in IEO , i think there is still possibility tobe scam.maybe not in early stages, but after few months we have to keep update from developers team.exit scam after listing in exchanges still possible to happen.IEO is not 100% safe i agree, so i hope there is no problem on IEO in the future.
Binance started this IEO platform first and we already know how well Binance has been performing, they have already blocked every loop holes that the scammers might take advantage of on their own platform, and the only safety they can guarantee are that of its users and those participating in any IEO project they approve.

I guess so when the IEO become popular, and many projects follow the previous projects, that will be a good time to start to be a scam project like we saw in the ICO. Now they need to convince the investor that IEO is the new solution to make money from cryptocurrency and I am sure that they will use many ways to show how good are the IEO. So if you want to invest in the IEO, make sure you prepare for the worst and always research before invest.
An ICO is much more risky than an IEO, as the projects are being verified by exchanges, too, before starting the IEO.
Or, big exchanges will never risk their reputation to allow bad projects on their platform.
exchanges also bet their reputation if their IEO failed and could not give investors profits.but so far IEO many times give investors alot of profits moreover IEO on binance, okex and huobi. Or, big exchanges will never risk their reputation to allow bad projects on their platform.

You know what. For every single ICO and token offering, there are so many risks but this one IEO is the newest one with such implemented strategy and security so the legitimacy is already proven...
I think the IEO hysteria will subside in couple of months, especially if exchanges wont add more layers of bot detection. But even if they sort out that issue, the human bot farms will still be a pain in the ass and a big obstacle of successfully participating in an IEO for a regular guy.
The best chance to get in is to buy when it's trading live, you can have a good price with a good timing. If they will pump it, of course don't get in yet, big investors will surely make profit by pumping it but when it's stabilize or will trade below it's IEO price, that would be a good time to enter.

The most dangerous thing in life is not to be able to see ahead of time,if you can't see ahead of time,you will always be cut up in the mist.So many are tired of ICO,as a matter of fact, ICO is almost dead,then came IEO presenting itself as a saviour of those investors that have suffered as a result of ICO,looking so tempting because some big exchange are backing it up,but i tell you,it can be more dangerous than ICO if you are not smart enough,atleast in the case of ICO,if price dump,it will dump on everyone,meaning there were some level of transparency,but for IEO especially with the big exchanges,the only thing we get to hear is that,it was sold out in seconds thereby creating an atmosphere that will make everyone to be looking forward to buy the moment it hit exchange,and the selected set of whales (hmmmm),who are already holding on to the coins are also ready to dump on people at a ridiculous price at exchange,after dumping it on people,then come a dump in price because the coin itself does not worth the price in the first instance,but because so much hype has been created in order to enrich themselves.I hope someone will wake up and not be cut up in the pool of loss.
My candid advice,if you can't get it at IEO,don't be fool to buy at a ridiculous price the moment is listed. The rich are getting richer,don't be trapped.All the best.

What we must be aware is, the hype of IEO. We must take action with clear planning, not based on the hypes around us.
IEO is a good thing, investors can investing their money to some trusted projects in cryptocurrency and whales are not a threat for us.
I have long understood what the IEO is. This is another trap from exchanges how to get your money. They show you the illusion of growth in the price of a new coin and offer to buy stock tokens at the beginning in order to be able to earn money on the growth of the price of a new coin. However, the problem is that far from everyone can buy a new coin, but exchange tokens are required to buy. On this and earn exchanges.
IEO looks nice opportunity to attract a exchange listing in a short term, the true is that exchange ask some big amount of tokens and pump this coin to get big profit right after trading starts.
Well I think the IEO or ICO have the same risk. There is no quarantee the token/coin that being offered on the exchange/IEO will be a successful project or has high price. There is even a possibility that prices will be controlled by whales due to recent IEO hype as the OP mentioned. I think everyone should be smart before making decision.
Despite possible whales' control over IEO token there's a guarantee that investors will be able to sell it at a some profit in a week or less. ICO sale requires much more time to wait for an exchange listing.
you think IEO may be scam. however especially,in cryptocurrency world,a lot of coin are doubt scam.if you are afraid of scam excessively,it is better for you not to involve cryptocurrency invest. Many crypt investors understand that a certain number of coins are fraudulent or suspicious. on that,they aim for short-term profit, stand still, or partner with the exchange to aim for profit from listing

Most of us pray and wish to buy a token in the IEO and sell it when listed. Because it's really risky if you buy it after listing when the price has increased many times.
What I can say in all these is just the abuse of systems. Certainly whatever that has happened to be a success always has its fake coming up or present. ICO investment was a huge success until it was abused, same will be for IEO's, however people are becoming more wary and careful going by a lot of horrendous experiences in the so called crypto investments. However with the proliferation, there will appear to be more scam than real till it becomes increasingly difficult to find a genuine one then the post will shift
It will also be abused in a way later on. Its just a matter of time before its going to be uncovered. There were lots of exchange projects last 2018, those exchange projects must have seen this IEO coming which they probably have been paving it for newer scam trend. Not all team are trying to partner up with exchange launchpad though so there are still ICO.
