Topic: Easiest way to stop ICO scam is (Read 1049 times)
I think we can help stop scam ico by spreading the word and letting everyone knows that this certain ico is a scam. Spreading the word helps potential investors to rethink or not investing at all to these certain ico's. Always be cautious when planning to invest on any ico, always do background checks.
In my opinion there should be a topic popular on this forum, talk about scam ICO projects. I think that makes ICO projects scams very scary when they appear on the forum, so we will be less likely to make mistakes when investing in them.
we can not do anything against ICO that ends with a scam. because we only act as participants. maybe the bounty manager is supposed to analyze an ICO before being shared on this forum
You cannot stop ico scam in that way even if they will send your token right after you send your eth on their contract address we should be the one who research if the ico is legit
Let ICO holders automatically send coins to your Ethereum wallet just after receiving your Ethereum

In my opinion fraud ICO will not stop unless there will be some regulatory bodies to set the ICO that is not possible since cryptocurrency is assets decentralized, the only thing that you can do is make your own research in each ICO you want to participate to ensure that you will not be deceived. Don't let others give you a suggestion ICO, know their own and you will never be deceived. It's a good way.
Investing in ICOs is a risky thing. There is nothing to be certain about the amount of money you invest in will not be fooled, the issue of trust will be on top. So investing in ICO, you have to take into account risks, not just profit.
Not to invest in scam projects

That's no way to protect us from the scam. If the developers are not responsible for their product to the users then they can make a fork of the finished coin and issue for their own. Automatic sending of tokens does not solve the problem scam
Yeah it's so simple. If they really are scammers they'll scam us no matter what it takes just to make their plan work. We know it's easy to be look like a legit one yet you're just hiding in a mask. And there's no way to stop them and actually this is all will start in ourselves for being knowledgeable and keen observant.
You have to do a very good research to stop the ICO fraud. Once you have read and understood the project content, you can buy it. Who did the ICO come from? they are very important.

It's useless imo, i mean, yes you received your tokens from the ICO but if the project owner choose to abandon their project and run out after they receive the money from the investor, the tokens you received become useless and have no price. You can't even sell your tokens from the ICO. Just like, betrium.co is doing.

Scam nowadays are famous there's a lot of ICO's are coming. I think we cannot stop scam ico's immediately but we can avoid it. Before joining the project do your research, deep research if the project is legit and avoid also suspicious ICO's.
I suppose that it is not easy to stop ICO scams. The only way to reduce risk is just identify which ICO is scam. I have some that could share with you guys. Firstly be careful enough to do a background check on the members of the team and find if they had strong track record and reputation in the roles. Secondly, pay attention to the language and focus of the white paper and I would like you to pay attention to the overall feeling you get after reading the whitepaper. And maybe there are more you can find in this forum.

The main problem, we don't know which ICO will turns out to be scam, there's ICOS with high reliability because popular people behind it and ICOS with low reliability because there's just random people trying to be the developer. To reveal whether an ICO is scam or not, the community need to look further searching for the developer footstep to reveal everything, but however, i see some of people sucesfully revealed some of scam icos so it may work as you said.

but take a note that if the ICO head will left we cannot do anything
Yes, no matter how you do not fight it. If you are deceived, they will do it. You will be beautifully painted about the project and you invest in it, and you will not even suspect that they are scammers. Only your instinct will help you, which will stop you.
Yes. We can not prevent fraudulent ICOs, let's learn the analytical experience to dodge them, get rid of those fraudulent ICOs, and enter this forum to let people avoid us.
Sometimes it is really hard to determine whether the ICO is a scam or not. Everything can be faked in the internet. If you think the ICO is a scam, then might want to report to any admins or request a validation. You can consult to experts as well just to be safe since accusing is bad.
I don't think that ICO scams can be stopped. For, the people behind the scams are not predictable when they will operate the scams. We can also guarantee or predict which one is a scam or not. Hence, the best way is only to learn more about how to avoid the ICO scams or avoid the ICO that is indicated as a scam.
