ICO itself is not a scam, but projects and teams themselves are often a scam!

Cryptocurrency is a revolution in the transaction but also used them to hold a major Scam.

ICO is a round of public fundraising, usually launched by a technical startup. The startup sells cryptocurrency tokens to investors; investors buy in the hope that the company will develop into a large business, which will increase the price of tokens.

There are no exact promises that ICO will turn into a good business. Investors are forced to give credit of trust together with their money. This is where the Scam begins.
Scammers on ICO's now have become sophisticated also in their ways to deceive people. No matter how good we are in our research, these people have ways to scam others. That is why regulations by goverment are being done right now.

In all areas there are scammers. And crypto is no exception. We need to study the project well before investing in it. After all, many scams can be easily calculated if you study the project in more detail. There are also projects that are not going to deceive investors at first, but then they realize that they will not be able to implement the project and investors are left with nothing. This is a risk and we must also take it into account.

There are good things attached to cryptocurrency and then there are bad things. Its a two faced sword. It can be good and can be very bad. There are people who became billionaire because of it and then there are people who lost everything to it.

You are definitely correct because while the cryptocurrency is developing there are lot of people who use this as front to scam others but sooner or later people will learn from the previous mistakes and the fraudulent activity will be minimize as long as the guidelines for checking the  legitimacy of an ICO is followed.

Envion has been the biggest but complicated kind of scam for me, after raising big amount of money i think greed took over and the people behind either intentionally played a game or we can say drama, or some people out of all the people behind this project tried to exit scam with the money whatever the case in the end investor and supporter of this project is the biggest looser, even pathetic part is that they ran a 2 million bounty campaign where thousands of people participated and promoted this project but unfortunately not a single person was paid.
I hope some authority will take notice and refund investors and reward bounty hunters too.

There truly some ICOs that have been able to deliver based on their promises. What I do nit like is making a promise or setting up a milestone that is not feasible and definitely not achievable. For such project, my firm advise is for people to run far away from it. If a project ids out to make vague promises, one would have noticed before the project ends. Which is why i like to do thorough research before investing on any project.

It is best not to be a uneducated person on this matter and learn to study more regarding on the project to prevent possible scam instances. If you make a investment without making assurance on the ico project, you are risking your investment.

Of course, now there are many ICOs that are good but must be stopped because of many problems and complicated. There are also fraudulent ICOs and make people trapped because they are not researching about the ongoing project. Many ICO frauds appear, you should be careful when choosing an ICO or participating in an ICO.

The Biggest ICO Scams of 2018


Biggest ICO Scams of 2018
Here are the various types of ICO scams that users should watch out for:

  • Malware scams
  • Fake exchanges
  • ICO scams
  • Pump and Dump scam
  • Ponzi schemes
  • Fake Bitcoin scam
Now that we know about the types of ICO scams, Let’s take a look at some of the biggest cryptocurrency and ICO scams in recent times:

OneCoin
OneCoin was one of the worst scams to have surfaced in the market. The whole idea turned out to be a classic Ponzi scheme. The details on its coin are sketchy, many people believe that the coin was never created. There was no working prototype and several of the team members had been part of previous ICO scams. The founder and COO of the company, Dr. Ruja Ignatov is supected of posting false qualifications on the official site.

The website was poorly designed with plenty of typos in place. It also faced technical problems on a regular basis. Even after repeated warnings from several governments, people still invested their money into the project. In fact, OneCoin scammed investors by a whopping amount of $350 million. Back in April, the Indian authorities had raided a OneCoin meeting, arresting 18 people.

Centratech
No one suspected Centratech to be a scam. Especially because it was being endorsed by celebrities DJ Khaled and Floyd Mayweather. The move attracted substantial attention from investors and users. The company also proposed a service that would allow users to spend cryptocurrencies as fiat money. The company had said that it is looking to partner with Visa or Mastercard but none of this happened.

Once the company raised $32 million during the ICO sale, the founders were arrested by the SEC and put in jail. The SEC said that the founders took extreme measures to make sure that their truth would not be discovered. The company even went as far as creating make-believe biography of their team. The celebrity endorsements was simply a way to bring investor confidence while protecting the reality of the situation.

One of the few instances where the fraud was caught on time and the amount was returned to the investors with interest. The founders were also barred from participating as directors or officers in future security offerings.

Pincoin
One of the more recent scams in the crypto space, in fact, there is a lot of anger related to this particular ICO among investors and the general population. Their initial ICO was monumentally successful. The ICO raised $660 million dollars from 32,000 investors. The company further honored their promise of returns and cash rewards motivated the exiting users to bring in their friends and family to put in more funds into the project.

Folling the success of the ICO, Pincoin announced that a token called iFan would be developed. This token would be used to compensate the investors. But as soon as the token was issued, the Pincoin team disappeared from the office leaving a less-than-useful website and a lengthy whitepaper behind.

Had the investors taken time to research the project, they would have found that none of the information about the team or the company was verified. This scam serves as a reminder to investors to always research thoroughly before making a decision.

Bitconnect ICO Scams
The company was accused of a Ponzi scheme for a very long time. Bitconnect officially stopped all its operations in January. This move was as a result of a cease and desist order from American financial regulators.

The users of Bitconnect were encouraged to trade Bitcoins in favor of Bitconnect Coin (BCC) on the company’s platform. The users were assured substantial returns for their investment.

The company also started a lending feature that allowed users to lend BCC to other users and earn interest as a result. It further publicized this feature in a typical Ponzi-scheme fashion. Since the company shut down its operations, multiple users have filed a class-action lawsuit against Bitconnect. The claims amount up to $700,000.

Plexcoin
This company was shut down in December 2017 by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after being discovered as an elaborate Return on Investment (ROI) Ponzi scheme. Plexcoin had offered its users and investors more than 1300 percent return. According to the SEC, the company was able to raise $15 million from thousands of investors before the government agency intervened.

As the aftermath of the SEC ruling, all funds of the company were frozen and the founder of Plexcoin Dominic Lacroix was put behind bars.

This was the first incident in which SEC diligently took action against an ICO via the Cyber Crime Unit. Since the Plexcoin’s services were classified as a security, SEC was well under its rights to press charges.

But not all projects are scams, I agree that market is full of fakes, but we also need to support new good ideas, as they are one of the factors for further development of the market. I often look at www.icoguide.com rates to find good projects, as the rates at this web seems to be real.

Pincoin and iFan

Pincoin and iFan took place in April 2018. Two ICOS were held by the same Modern Tech company in Vietnam. 32,000 investors gave a total of $660 million.

Both ICOS are classified as multi-level marketing Scam. iFan advertised a social network for celebrities through which they could promote their content. Pincoin promised 40% of the monthly profit from the contributions made to the online platform for investment and auctions.

It's sad to know that there's a lot of ICO who got easy money.
How come the people behind that project you stated deceived the people who trust in them.
They create fear from people who want to trust crypto.

Can you add bitconnect, biggest Scam and shitty coin, Until now in my country there are still demand lmao. And one more TBC (The Billion Coin) Best joke ever.

Yeah, I hate Bitconnect too. Since earlier 2017, I found a lot of Youtuber who promoted Bitconnect. Fortunately for me, I am not too interested in Bitconnect. Well, personally my biggest scam that I've experienced was Otho Network. They have a good idea, solid team, and interesting site. But until now, I can't believe that this project will turn into a scam. More details can read the topic here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/othonetwork-scam-beware-a-good-lesson-for-all-3021869

There are no exact promises that ICO will turn into a good business. Investors are forced to give credit of trust together with their money. This is where the Scam begins.
Indeed,people are eager to put their money to these investments though most of the new projects are scams,people just want to earn faster that is why they are risking too much,sometimes the those ICOs which promises things that are good to be true are the ones which has turning into scams,thus you will need to have some research before joining any of these ICOs.
