If you find a Project or ICO that looks scammy, what steps do you take to warn the community? Do you just ignore and go on to the next one?
If you only have doubts about the project and you think it might be the scam you can post a topic here so people can discuss it. But if that project is not a scam, it's terrible news that the wrong information could have a negative impact on the project and the plan might fail because of the information you provided.

Yes I report scam because it is bad for are community for those scammer and prevent to scam others as well.
Better tell another person about that project so you and your friend not got scammed. Also post about that project in forum like bitcointalk or redit or any other crypto related forum. Make sure you have enough evidence to tell that project really scam not just some accusation with out proof
I think that you have hit the right spot. The community is tired of the FOMO and the FUD as well, so providing evidence is the key. Given that it is not very common to find it, I think that either people don´t research or that they don´t share the results. Posting this question is trying to create some awareness in the community.
Yes and by doing this we can prevent others to get scammed as well. In this community that everything is uncertain and even though we smell something fishy yet we don't have any evidence to accuse someone or ico as scammers because in the end they might be the one pointing fingers to you. Likewise, prevention is always better than cure.
Alert everybody in the telegram group so that everybody will be aware.

I never report a scam ICO because there is no proper authority to report it but i usually tell my friends to avoid it. Besides even if you report it, they will just create a new one and it is the responsibility of every investors to make their own research before investing in any ICO.

I do report scams, I think that it is one of the most healthy ways to keep the bitcointalk environment safe and clean. It doesn’t really matter whether the admins or moderators will hear me out, the important thing here is I dod my part as one of the regular users or member here in the bitcointalk community.

How can we be sure of whats a scam to report?
What makes it suspect?
If you see the person who developed the coin and you saw the scam happening then it would be very different. What makes it suspect?
First of all, I am trying to ask everything in telegr am, bitcointalk. If they answer and post normal answers, I can analyze a bit more and decide scam it or no. But, anywayy, you should post proofs, so everybody can see it! Bitcointalk, twitter, telegram, etc.
I don't know where and whom to report to on ICO but I do on TG is dat I report any Scammer. Have seen several of them.

It actually came to my conscience and consciousness that I should be doing that so as to play my own part to help gullible members here because if mode take the report, they would handle it and by that, avoiding harm to members.
If you have intuition that that is a scam, ask first until you're sure.
If you knew that that is a scam, always tell others so that less people will be a victim of that.
Just be aware of scammers and it is good to share what you know to others.
Spread the word if you know of a scammer

There is big difference between 2 things .
1- Have a suspicion about project that it might be scum , then you have to just stay away and warn your friends , because you really can not go around call someone or project a scum based on just suspicion.
2- Know that this project is a scum and have a proof to back your say , now you have to open a thread and warn the whole community about this scum , and I believe that anyone get scummed because you didn't report such a project while you could , is really not a good thing . Turning your eyes away from a crime while you can stop it ( make you part of it ) .

Very often, when it becomes clear that the scammers of the project - learn all at once)
But, of course, I distribute this information, suddenly someone else does not know.
Well this is one of our main problems as a community. We lack unity when it comes to standing against scams and frauds. Everybody is so focused on his own interest and benefits so they don't care anyone else. Personally i try to report every scam i face to lower their numbers. Because crypto is built to solve the problems of real world frauds not to joing them.

Ignoring it wouldnt help anyone,but spreading the word on every relevant threads would be the best thing to do so people would be warned from these schemes/scams.Because nowaways people always find their ways to take advantage other's weaknesses,you can report these scammers to moderators,or if you find a project that is a scam post it in a relevant thread so you could help other's from not getting involve with these schemes.
It would be best if someone created a website where we could log in and report with proof and have admins verify the proof and then start a database.
We need to protect one another. I have been scammed you have been scammed we all have. Let us try protect newcomers from these thieves.

First make sure that you do a very deep research about the ico, you do not want to be wrong and then not only you lose credibility but you will affect an honest project, but if you have your doubts about a project there is nothing wrong with raising questions about it this is a forum and that is why we are here, so as long as your questioning is valid there is nothing wrong with exposing possible scams.

If I notice a fraudulent ICO, I usually report it to acquaintances and my followers on the blog. Jump to:
