thanks for the suggestion, right now we can see many ICO that just find the money and not run their project in real or we can call it SCAM. and it will make the investor trapped because the bonus and the fake benefit that the developer said, so we should think twice also do some research about it before we invest on it

Thank you very much for this wonderful post. in fact it is very enlightening and life saving. Some of us have little or no knowledge about these sscammers and their tactics. A friend of mine stopped crypto investment because these scammers manipulated him and emptied his bitcoin wallet. We need you, the experienced ones to always lead and guide us like this Grin

Thanks for this thread, now I have some points to review back before jump into some ICOs. Do Your Own Research (DYOR) is very important and must be done before dealing with an ICOs. You give me a clear explanation about how to review ICOs. Once again, it's a very helpful thread.

information is very useful, but today the SEC has released education related to ICO to the public, as a repressive action to avoid any scam site that offers investment by ICO.

The SEC created a site explaining the scam criteria for ICO. the site is howeycoin.com, this scam site was created by the SEC to provide education to every society, so they can choose a good ICO and do not have the potential scam.

some of the common signs of ICO scam are.
1. high profit
2. SEC claims complain
3. pump and dump only.
4. endorsement of celebrities

The best way for avoiding ICO scam is not investing in ICO. Even if you check all basic criteria of ICO and its legal, you still have a chance to get scam. So minimum your risk in investing ICO is not investing in ICO time. If you really like this project, follow their telegram/twitter and facebook to get news/information and know when it will be listed. When it be listed on exchanges, its your time to buy more because at the moment in bear market, all new tokens/coins are lower price than ICO price even with bonus. So buy and hold when it listed, is best way.

Your suggestion will be a benefit and safer than directly enter into an ICO earlier by waiting post ICO, actually there is other benefit other than avoiding Scam ICO that is the certainty for entering the project which pass the softcap. But this kind thing should not take generally because if everybody wait the project until enter to exchange, there will be no more successful ICO and lead to no project enter into exchange. So, it is better to still support ICO but the research should be deeper. I hope the ICO is still required to be supported as the starting stage of a project in crypto.

You have made short post but not enough facts on this, I suggest you to write more facts so people won't loss in SCAM ICO's.
I would give plus one to you for this topic.
Thank you for your feedback. I will work on it and I'll update the post after making your suggestions.
Https mean: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure, if a site have it, that doesn't mean the site is legit and not fake, it simple mean the your connection with the site is private,
you can even get it for free, what you can do, is to check the Organisation that the certificate is Issued To.
Yes it is, but I'm referring on the dots below the website. That's why I put an example image that will guide you on that violently little things.
