I advise you to look at various reviews from experts in the crypto field. In my view it's a little difficult to see if the project is a scam or not. I don't understand how scammers work but what I see is they offer amazing numbers. They offer amazing returns that are earned in no time.
The scammers are always giving bullshit promises. He was using the words to fool people. It's always too good to be true. People can easily detect it as long as they do know that so well how it's working right now. The problem is so many people are not even aware about that.
You would able to see there have been a bunch of people keep believing with scammer's words. I think that they were uneducated person in crypto.

There are so many new projects launching everyday and some of them can be good and some of them can be a scam as well. How can we identify it well? Perhaps we should have more discussion about it so we all can learn from everyone's experience.
And talking about identifying well, that is hard to do knowing that scammers are smart too. They keep improving their strategies which makes it hard to detect if it was a scam until someone claims that they got scam. It is too unfortunate that yeah, someone had to lose their money before the community become aware of the situation. And I believe that everyone is aware of this thing but guess what, because of greed and the instinct of many people to -instant rich, many still fall into scam projects.

There is no fixed formula or method for detecting a scam project, it's all relative. Scams in the crypto market are not new and extremely difficult to deal with, we cannot tell which projects are scams until they scam us. Like the fall of Luna and FTX, both are reputable projects in the market, and we only know they are scammers when they trick us. To avoid scams, the only way is don't invest in altcoins, don't be greedy, and want to get rich quickly. Just invest and be loyal to bitcoin only, you will never be scammed.

Before making an investment in any cryptocurrency project, do your homework and research carefully. Always verify.
Any cryptocurrency forums or social media will help you, like there is some community where you can ask about a particular project, just like on this forum.
Be wary of unsolicited messages, and claims of high returns. These safety measures will help you stay safe from cryptocurrency scams.

Yes there are so many projects launching day by day. To avoid a scam project you have to research first and read their white paper to see their goals and how they will establish the project. And also check the credentials of the people who are managing the said project, do you think they can be trusted? We need to do extensive research on a particular project we are interested in investing. We need to be smart and vigilant before we get in to an investment so that our investment will be worth it.  
Whitepaper meant nothing right now. It's better to see that from another aspect like team, code, etc. It's very hard to determine the scam project this day caused by scammers are always discovering more and more new wasy to scam other.
The only thing that must be noted if anyone must use their due diligence before try to buy something in the market. There are so many scam coins in the market right now. We must always be careful with it.

My trust in new projects in the altcoin industry is down. It happens when you are rug pulled twice and scammed once.
usually i think, coin that could rugpulls are just those shitcoin with some random tokenomics, never once i've seen some coin that's good, with real tokenomics, even verified by certain platforms, could ever make rugpull, i mean maybe there's some case such as that and very few at that also, but the thing is, always invest in a coin that's good, whether from the background of the devs, even the fact that it got partnership from good companies like mysten labs, even partnership with binance.
there's reason why project like sui getting massive recognition and is being invested by many, their devs was formerly at diem project, because it failed they decided to move on and created even better project, that alone already could make many trust them, and in turn, many are getting profit and not getting rug pulled at the end of the day.

There's already a lot of advice and discussion about scams and the best to check them all is the
Scam accusation board

Here on this board members will guide you on where to see the signs and where to look, usually they are faking their whitepaper and the development team are fake people using popular accounts on LinkedIn.
If it's crowdfunding better away, until you have proven beyond doubt that the team and the whitepaper are true and legit and the platform that they are going to create will benefit the whole industry.

Looking for a gem is not easy today with lots of projects being created. Scams cannot be avoided anymore as they are getting better at making promises and faking their identities. A new way to identify scams is not about what is written on paper anymore.
Find lawyers and vloggers who are dissecting them and they might bring light to the purpose of those scammers. The very least we can do as investors is an early exit rather than losing it all. Forums like this and discord/telegram pages can also help with the community trying to corner them until they make a wrong step.

TBH, I can't consider projects like FTX or Luna to be scam projects, because here we are talking about something more specific like a planned scam. FTX or Luna can be described as an accident rather than a (planned) scam. [If you know the actual chronology of the 2 big projects].
For FTX I think it was just some bad decisions internally andfor Luna I don't think that was just accidental. Do Kwon was likely being hideous that he really is planning to scam his investors, there has been some signs that it was an obvious scam, I just can't remember that twitter thread anymore though, it was likely the same thing with Bitconnect. Moreover, I don't think there's something as accidental, if they scam people then they're scammers.

It will be hard to fine such types of developers in the market today as most of them are already engaged with one project or the other that are already gaining reactions, most of the developer that are launching new projects lately I most likely to be newbies in the business without any experience unless the old timers that want to break away from their current project to start up a new one which may likely not be a success as per se on the long run.
Most of projects do run into those unknown or anonymous devs which its really hard to trust up and fund up with these kind of projects. You cant really be able
to come after of your funds once you had been scammed. In today's time where lots of scam projects had been existing where rug pulls are common
and scamming away investors is really not that something new.
Some of the shady projects may even make their team member identity unknown or use a fake team just to lure potential clients, this is popular among most recent projects that are busted for scams in various degrees, so I won't take team and developer as a best standard practice to know a reputable and potential project.

If I must invest in any project, what I normally do is to make sure I follow up with the project right from its token sale era till it gets listed on multiple exchanges and gains traction with enough volume before I buy some and hold for a while and that is subject to what their usercase are and what proven real-life problem there have solved.

you could literally just invest in the verified project under the IEO of famous exchange like binance and even kucoin and you're set.
those projects have been carefully reviewed and meticulously selected best among the other and will definitely have good future than the rest.
but there also come downside of it usually you get your investment locked for centuries which potentially make you lose your chance of gaining profits.

Never trust any project that promise you very high thing. Moreover new projects, if youbare new investors, it is better to stay aaway from this. But if yiu are going to take higher risk, jist use small amount, so if the projects are not successful, yoi are still okay.
Btw, scamers commonly also do their great jobs to make their projects seem like very legit projects, moreover they sometimes also create fake telegram group and other social media to look like real. They also create convoncing Whitepaper and sites. That is why, always be careful and never believe too much in the new projects.
One of the shadiest things that you should see this as a red flag already on which devs are telling about some projection of huge or high value or prices for the project outcome or value in the future.This is something
that you should really be that wary and be avoiding on things and this alone would really be that signifying that you are dealing with a scam project. Always DYOR and making your in depth analysis and research
about the project. Its not only just reading up its roadmap or whitepaper but also trying out to study their codes or contracts whether there's some shady inside is happening
like those buy and selling contract integrations which slowly shows up some rug pull specially if the coin is still on dexes.


only invest in a project coming from developer that seem to have good background like they are alumni of some prestigious university then you will likely encounter good project with such developers.
even better if the project was also funded by the likes of coinbase, and binance.

Analyze it well, gather informations about that project and look for its community.
You can easily tell a project is scam by doing this but of course there are professional scammer who makes the project more realistic so there’s still a risk for new projects. If you really want to be safe then invest only on a coins that is already listed in the market.

If you have to ask that you are better of not buying new projects. Weeding out scams requires experience about the whole crypto token sale field. Knowledge about the tech and different blockchain solutions that already exist. Knowledge on how to do team and company fundamental research.

Knowledge on how to check if the the code is valid. Knowledge about tokenomics, valuation, and existing scams so you don't need to learn everything from your mistakes.

And even if you know all this you might fell into scam, or make money out of scam. (they sometimes rise as well) So if you are not sure on how to avoid scams, save your money and buy eth and bitcoin.

Research and due diligence are essential when it comes to identifying new projects. Always do your own research, look into the team behind the project, the technology they're using, their roadmap, and community engagement. It's also important to be cautious of red flags such as unrealistic promises, lack of transparency, and a history of failed projects. Learning from the experiences of others in the community can also be helpful in identifying potential scams or unreliable projects.

You need to pay attention to what they mean, especially the 5W+1H formula, namely what, where, when, why, who and how, ha; I think it's quite effective to assess a project as your initial impression of recognizing it, maybe after that you can see in what it's trying to do/is doing in its work, after that you also have to verify their project's supporters and can also ensure that it's working what they do is real and not a project that relies on sentence structure alone, the average fraud does that.

You can check their website. Compare with some projects that have committed fraud and fraud. Scam projects usually follow the same pattern. They design the website as attractive as possible, make a promotions (possibly using funds from previous scams) and they have incomplete expert profiles and do not have valid records on their information. I advise you to study in this forum the history of projects that have been scammed before.
Yes, we have to analyze it directly and compare it with other projects to catch a conclusion, and we need to make sure that the data that they submit is complete from the developers, it gets +1 trust points, and usually it is like that, the result of past fraud in use it for further scams, so be very careful.
