Yes, that's the main purpose of having a community, in this thread you can do your own research using the various tools above. If, one day you find a project that is "suspicious" you can try to verify by your self, but if with the tools mentioned in the OP does not succeed in making you successfully verify, try to visit the scam accusation board.

Thanks for the good topic, we, the beginners should know this information, there are many scammers in the virtual world and it would be easy for you to get scammed if you don't have any idea about fake websites. Beginners are the common victims of those scammers because they know that they are still new and they don't have good experience yet.
The common things that I am usually doing when I am going to try a website especially an investment/trading website, I will read first some reviews about it and I also checks its official website.
There are also good topics about this:
Ignorance the cause of scam and hack.

Not sure if you've missed reading "my previous post" but you might want to consider removing those websites from the list.In addition to my previous post, the following websites no longer have a purpose for the list:
That project is already suspended.
Nice work. I want to add to your list a few extra searches and also other useful tools: www.icoethics.com/tools
"icoethics" is no longer accessible to the public since it's password protected and no one can create an account on their website.

Since the creation of this topic, it remains relevant for everyone. After all, every day we see that scammers publish new scams instead of disclosed fraudulent schemes. A very useful Guide not only for Newbie, but also for all forum participants.

You can also try "Cloud Vision":
- Apart from checking duplicate pictures, it also helps with extracting texts from images [and few other things...] (useful for checking plagiarized content in whitepapers that are made from images/screenshots only [instead of a normal PDF format]).
It appears the above two services have altered their system (no longer suitable for finding duplicate pictures [you might want to remove them from the list]). - Apart from checking duplicate pictures, it also helps with extracting texts from images [and few other things...] (useful for checking plagiarized content in whitepapers that are made from images/screenshots only [instead of a normal PDF format]).

I found good tools to compare similarity picture. This tool is good for members who have a coding skill. Check this out:
Demo version:
I can't explain too much about this, because currently I do not really understand to use this tool. I hope other members can give explanation about this tool later.

Thank you very much for doing this for us. This is very helpful and I have bookmarked it. I can quickly run a few of these checks and pick up the scam quickly without wasting time. No more wasted time on bounties, trying to figure out of they real or not. This will eliminate most of them probably. At least half. I also think you should add that you should whois the website of the accused to check for things like a domain registration that is ending soon. A real team will never have a domain that will expire anytime soon and you will be shocked to see how often this happens with scam websites. They domain flip all over the place. I get very suspicious when a project claims to want to stick around but their domain expires next week?
You deserve some merits but I have none to give
silly merit system.

This is a great thread - I think investors should all have their own must follow steps every time they see an ICO that is interesting, follow a couple links, check for copied content, check for fake or edited team members, etc, etc
I don't have a specific tool I use, but more so a piece of advice - A lot of ICO's nowadays use fake advisors, and they often put random advisors there that actually have nothing to do with the project. Google and find the advisors, and if you can't find if they are involved in the project, DM them if your bothered, or just give up and assume it's a scam.
If the photo was edited, then always less confidence. You can check how the photo was edited.

Hey do you have methods to share to deal with AI created faces like what the user a few post above mentioned? Thanks.
No, still I have not find any kind of tools for detect AI created faces. It's a bit difficult to identify since it's really look like real picture. But we could identify few face by using our brains. There is few common mistakes on the picture because I have tried and investigated it. 80% picture have few common mistakes and I don't like to expose it. Because may be scammer would misuse it and they would aware. So create few face then zoom it and investigate deeply. Hope you will found something wrong. March 15, 2019, 04:37:42 AM
This one also good tools for checking both plagiarism and duplicate image. Support till 1000 characters for plagiarism checker or by upload file with .docx/.txt format, then for the duplicate image you can check by upload an image or enter the image URL.

If a newbie posted this he could easily reach a higher level in just a short period of time, this kind of post deserves a merit and I wonder why the guy only has a few merits, but great post, this will helps us all, because we are investors and bounty hunters here.
