It's easy to know if the ICO scam is easy or it's not okay to review the project well as well as their ICO team. Also on the ico team background if they are true and if they run the projects very well and no issues upon them.Chec also the details related on the project.
Of course, I understand that today there is a very big problem of communication with the raid by scammers on the market of ico companies. But the fact is that it cannot be considered an output to the production of a security token, which, in turn, require passport data from the investor and the two participants in the cryptocurrency. In my opinion, I was convinced by the result of the analysis that almost all companies that required to provide personal data could not realize themselves, compared to ico companies that developed and attracted participants according to the old version. We need to look for other ways to combat fraud.

I don't have the proper way to find any type of scams but we will not be some difference between good and fake so we need to be more alert for every time when we are get investment on this field it will helpful for getting out from scam investment.
I think that there are no clear criteria that would make it possible to know for sure whether the project will be fraudulent or not. It is very difficult to guess now. The cryptocurrency market is still in a bearish trend.

Actually, you don't completely avoid 100% of ICO scam. They disguise very well. You can only use skills to minimize the rate of scam. Find out about the DEV team, check their information carefully. Check their website, check website traffic, check chat channel telegram .... Hey guys, I'm new to the whole ICO world, and BTCtalk as well.

In checking good ico or not, first you must check the flow of their project through their whitepaper, then their team must also not a fake it should be real not a dummy only, then they must have a huge community in their project. And having an escrow is an advantage too. Do not be deceive by their promises.
No, no, friend, request is bad. I led too many projects and received too few coins from them. So investing in ICO is not an option today. Invest only in a cryptocurrency that already works and is in demand. Everything is doomed to failure.
There isn't a sure shot way of knowing whether an ICO is legit or not. But you can definitely follow these things:
1) See if they have a nice and technically sound whitepaper. Whitepaper says a lot about an ICO.
2) Do a background check on the team. If they aren't visible on the internet, they have things to hide.
3) If an ICO has unrealistic expectations out of their token offerings, it means they haven't done their research properly. Shows a lack of dedication and planning.
4) See the advisory board. Big people means good ICO. No big shot advisor would want to be seen as a scammer.
For example, a new ICO is coming up. I stumbled upon them through some site. These guys are trying to make good use of blockchain. If you look at their site, it's clean and clear. Their whitepaper is very descriptive. Also, all the founders can be found on the net. It's a good initiative. Check 'em out here - http://enkidu.io/

This is clear enough. Unique and original projects have legitimate teams easily verifiable on social media or Internet, they also have a non plagiarised whitepaper and workable Tokenomics.
I think it is difficult to identify whether the ICO project is a scam. Many projects will try to hide the bad aspects in the early stage of crowdfunding, making people feel undetectable. It is not easy to find out the real situation of the project until the end of crowdfunding.
But, no matter how they are to hide the bad aspects, it will still be visible.
I feel analyze gets to the basics, can find something else
First of all, check as many reputable sources as possible about this project; if there are few references to it in the media, then this is sufficient reason to think, and continue to check even more carefully.

The easiest way is to find information about ico on the internet because what I see is a lot of people / websites that analyze an ico for a website that I just know is concourseq, and if you are diligent you might be able to find out yourself and start checking profile profile photos use applications like tineye for example
I think finding information about ico that is scam or not from the internet is not easy. because most of the ico managers have anchored investors in advance so that investo can contribute funds to the ico. yes, so far, searching for a project that does not scam is difficult and sometimes it does not match our predictions.

Now a days this the most problematic thing we are facing. There is no doubt that most of all ICO's are Fake/Scam. But there is couple of things that you can do for invest real ICO. first of all read there whit paper and try to know about that project. Join there telegram official channel and ask about the team, future plan, road map etc that you want to know. if you got 100% positive answer then you can invest your money on it.

First do research on the project teams one by one and make sure they have location or even phone number to be sure they really exist and the last is to make sure that the really have expertise and working product for the project
