Topic: how do you identify a transparent project team? - page 10. (Read 1163 times)
Real pictures of core team members. Also when a project starts doing AMA that's video covered I regard them as being real team. A physical office where people can visit is another method of know which project isn't fake.
If the project is a scam, it would be really silly of its team to show their true identities. In most cases, they just find some pics online and use them as the images of their “Chief Financial Officers” or “advisors,” as was seen in Empire Card who used a picture of French actress Sabine de Poncins, little known outside of France, as the portrait of their proud imaginary CEO Patricia Harrison. There have even been reports of Ryan Gosling “working” for a project as a designer under a completely different name.
Some scammers are, however, way more intricate. They know it’s quite easy to reveal a fake pic so they just hire people to pose as their CEOs, CFOs, and so forth. Rumor has it that certain scammers even pay homeless people to pretend they’re leading a disruptive startup to a bright and radiant future. This fraud is much harder to call out, but at least those guys help homeless people in some way, so here’s your silver lining.
Identifying the genuineness of a project team is one of the diffcult things in this space, in time past there were projects whose team was hidden but they didn't scam investors but nowadays any project whose team is hidden gives a second thought. Nevertheless, i think the best place to get started is through social media to track their online presence and to know a little about them; Google can also help to break down the search. Thereby, with the results from the search, link it to the idea they are trying to create and see if it adds up. Some scammers are, however, way more intricate.

First, make sure that the team is really real and you can browse through the channels available in the project's bounty thread or make a video call about the face and whereabouts of the company and it's important to research on the Google site too. now many cases of fraud using another project whitepaper, the scamers change several copies to make it look real.
It would still be easy to identify them even if they hire all those people or homeless people you talk, the best way to catch a thief is through the LinkedIn, if they hire an homeless person, it means their linked in will be new, a good team must have been an active person in a business line, and from their profile you should be able to know, form the year and from some research you make on the google page, it should point you to knowing which project is doing some certain thing at that particular time.
I think it is high time we ignore team that do not want to show their identity to even their video, project team right now needs to really go to the length of showing their face to the public and even the location of the said project if they are really true.

I need to know the team before I invest in any project. They should have social media accounts and public releases published in major media like yahoo finance, forbes or something like that. Furthermore, they should have a detailed plan and keep the community updated.
We can see how the team can be directly involved in their projects through social media, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, I think in modern times like this it is certainly straightforward to access someone's information via the internet, if on social media alone, they not do promotions the project, of course they are a fake team and the project uses only their photos.
Check the project carefully, the idea behind the project, be sure it is new, or at least solve problems.
If you think the project is good Invest in IEO only why?
All exchanges to run IEO should ask the team to pass KYC, team should provide there ids for that, at least founders should provide IDs.
People still think that cryptocurrency startup projects are transparent because they developing a new blockchain technology. Of course that they live in ilusion and they need to invest into many scam ICOs to understand how to choose the best projects. Without failure there is no success.
The way I identify the project team that is transparent is to find out their origin on the Google site, their website, social media channels and in the bounty announcement. I always follow an experienced project team like the project I'm currently on because this team has a good reputation in managing previous projects.
there are many ways scammers try to deceive investors including one of them using homelessness and changing it as part of the project team, often I find their profile team photos look ridiculous that they have edited, and to ensure their transparency we need to explore both in the forum , social media, or other sources.

How much money does it take to turn a homeless person into a person who looks like a financial director? Homeless people often fight and have bruises and scratches, and they also have bad teeth.
It seems to me much simpler and cheaper to hire actors to make the photos that fraudsters need.
In any case, I am glad that there are people on the forum who are looking for scammers and help people not to be deceived.

Now there are banks of photographs that collect photos taken by professionals. There are photos of people who are not found anywhere else on the Internet. Many fraudulent projects can buy photos on such sites. I also met a project where the "main developer" once a week on a video answered user questions. We only later learned that he was a hired actor.
Scammers are becoming more inventive every day.
The only time I believe a project team is real is looking for their project on icobench, once the top team member like the CEO and CTO has passed KYC exercise, I trust the project is real to an extent but without this, I'm always sceptical about project team members.
I do this using the official site of the project. First I look at the linkendin profiles, if they are not there, I immediately discard this project, and if they are there, I check them for activity and look at my work experience, does it match what is described on the site, and then I look for profiles on social networks by name and surname.
First I will look at their previous experience, then find out their background in several sources including, on forums, social media, and several other sources listed in their gift chains. overall it is difficult to find fraudulent projects but we can reconsider if you feel there is something suspicious with the team and that is what needs to be decided before you fall into it.
there were teams who shows faces on youtube videos actually that still turned out scam. its why you should be anxious to a project that offers project that's too ambitious. just to cite one example of the team who show their shameless faces on youtube but manage to scam people, BUBBLETONE project is just one. this is why even when this is suppose to be decentralized, we really need regulations because of them.
I think there are many ways we can take to find out whether the program that we are taking does not fool us. The first step is to make sure you are following a program that is registered on a trusted platform. secondly before you join you should do a question and answer with the project development team by entering their telegram group. then you can contact directly the contact of the development team admin of the program. well that's where you can find out whether the program can be trusted and transparent in conveying their work processes in developing the program.
Its really not an easy task identifying the genuine project team but its is very much achievable when you follow the right steps. What i do in situations like this is go through their linkedin profiles if available but in a situation where it isnt, you will have to manually search with the provided names on the project website and cross reference with what you see on linkedin or Facebook.

The scammers will always update the action according to the new trend. For example one of the actions that the team on a project after doing research looks convincing, but the reality at the end of the project is a scam.Some scammers are, however, way more intricate.

One of the characteristics of a transparent project team is that I feel that the team can be relied upon and the team communicates with the project group to the members.
with use of reference as the white paper on projects website as the ico terms of offers deliverance, investors might gains of customs with difference on unit as option on identifying details to returns with one of decision to put of option on market with the ieo exchange.
