Agreed. But actually all these things are so simple that even a child can guess them before investing.
Identifying cryptocurrency scam icos and many more is easy and hard at the same. Yes, it is actually quite easy to identify a scam project by just looking at the board members of the project, its supporters and backers. But at the same time, it is hard because sometimes fake Infos are posted just to trick users from investing and that's the hardest part identifying if those people are real.
I know cases when a trusted advisor is in the composition of project members, who, as a result, also becomes a victim of a scam. It is best to interact with projects of the superhigh level of trust for example TELEGRAM or IPOs of large exchanges like Bitfinex, Binance and so on.
I don't trust advisors, they are also asking for money just to write good review, I have some crypto projects who has a lot of advisors but they all asked for money too, they don't even check if a certain project is good or not, they are just after if their fee can be afford by the project before they will write reviews.
But, still there are some high reputable advisors who just don't after the money, but making sure the project is legit.

There are a lot of scams in this cryptocurrency world. Safety is my priority so I recommend to buy Bitcoin ONLY on the reliable cryptocurrency exchanges (like for example CoinDeal, Kraken or Coinbase), this is the most important rule for me. It's good to verify the information which is said on the internet. do not trust everyone.

The first rule you need to remember is that something sounds too good to be true it probably isn't. So this should be the first allert for you.
If anything at all looks suspicious you should make some checks, some guidlines are already mentioned here. Double check every information you get and if the smallest thing doesn't seem to be right, don't get involved.

for me is simple, I only rely on general information. if that doesn't meet, I'll consider it a scam, here's the criteria that I hold:
1. check the web and roadmap
2. Check sales or progress
3. what is the value of the coin
4. check social media
5. Check the telegram / discord
6. check the ICO / IEO list
7. check the market
8. check out Coinmarketcap.
if all is crowded, I consider it not or not yet a scam. if some are not updated. I assume is a scam.

Actually, it is difficult to determine the scam projects nowadays that even you carefully follow the above suggestions but still many are become victim of scam like the Centra tech project that even its used Mayweather for promotion and unlock it in the exchanges but still it become a scam project in the end. Therefore i think the government should upgrade the existing regulations because of these scams that can managed to penetrate the market.

Many investors in a certain project doesn't indicate it is a good project. I've saw many projects that they accumulated millions of dollars but in the end they disappear suddenly leaving their investors in a big disappointment. Cryptocurrency is now booming and scams are growing as well. Best thing to do is only invest on those who are really popular and in the top spot of coinmarketcap like eth, ltc, eos, xrp and so on. That will guarantee you a good profit for long term as they have real use-case for their projects.
Good article that would be helpful to identify if a project is a scam or not. That's the reason why we have to do a series of research before joining a certain project. Investors would do everything to attract and gain every user's attention. Their social media and the developers behind is an important factor that would help us know if we're on the right track.

You can identify with scam crypto with low trusted of investor with this altcoin, many altcoin although success on listing with big exchange market after faced problem by owner and government regulation at their country will make price down and become scam altcoin, you have sell before price dump and altcoin delist from exchange market.
That is a possible way, but this too gets overcome by scammers giving perfection. Identifying scams is really a big task, it needs more learning, even the experts fail at times. This is all because of the project outline and the way it is taken forward. I go with projects that give regular updates through all possible means and the participation of the senior team people on different conferences and meetings conducted worldwide having relation with cryptocurrency market.Most of the projects are building a solid platform to hide their true intention, they will do everything to gather investors and they will build a community to support the project.

No inovations, no great team, no support from community = no deposits
Just checking with telegram channel group because there are many member of bounty and ICO investor, we know with scam bounty campaign or ICO investment with thousand respond about this campaign and ICO, many investor will said true about what his investment and have check with team, owner look real or fake, just check few hours you will know about bounty or ICO is scam or not.
You can also validate if the team is real maybe they are just using fake identities to gather investors. Nowadays checking for the popularity of the project is not enough just like before, you really have to see if the project itself is possible to conquer crypto world where they can be another crytpto that will be the topic of many crypto websites.

To make it simple, Study and learn first about the investment or project you are participating in.
There are many ways to find out if a project is a scam. The first one on my list is Transparency, Of course if you want trust from the potential investor you will show yourself and let them know who you are and what you have accomplished and achieved.
This is where a project is first known, so we don't have to believe their marketing right away. We need to analyze it so that we can be sure.
