SCAM ICOs are everywhere. Everyday I am hearing news about scam icos. This is becoming a severe problem also it is degrading the reputation of cryptocurrency. This needs an immediate solution.

I didn't participate in any scam ICO. That was my luck i suppose. The first time when i was scammed was on crypto world and i deposit bitcoins to a "cloud mining site" after 2 or 3 days i made the deposits site was no more available and never get back on, and not got my bitcoin back.

You always should choose ICO after many verification and check the team always. Is a hard work and sometimes you must be very open-eye to detect scams.

I have not been able to participate in a large number of campaigns yet. To reduce the likelihood of participating in the scam campaign, I choose projects from well-known managers or groups of managers. This compensates for inexperience in the choice of bounty.

This is really common even if you have done your research. I have participated in bounties that never paid or the project was a scam and tokens are worthless now (e.g. Centra).

This is why I dont join a lot of bounty or airdrop or ICO unless I am very sure about the project.
You can easily get scammed here.

I joined a lot of bounty campaigns and I don't even remember how many I have finished and how many are really paying and legitimate. All I can say is hustle hard mate, these times might be tough for you because you're quite new here but just hustle and you'll see your fruit of labor.

I think this happens to everyone who participated in bounty campaign especially in their early days. As you gain more experience, you can better distinguish which ones are likely to be scam and which ones are likely to be legit. But even with good experience, some would still fall to "soft cap not reached, no payment to bounty participants"

Some time ago I decided to participate in bounty programs. Started with airdrops, twitter and telegram campaigns and later took a look at signature campaigns in bitcointalk.
Created account, reached Jr.Member level and full of optimism applied for the first signature bounty without deep enough researches about the project. Even absence of info about team didn't stop me. How stupid I was.... The ICO turned out to be scam and no desirable tokens received of course Smiley

Do not be so stupid as me, read about project, take a look at the team, read whitepaper and check some ratings. It can save you from wasting you time for 4-8 weeks....

By the way.. how many scam ICOs have you participated?
