Most of peoples would lazy to read their whitepaper , but for fact some scam project just copied another whitepaper , they just too lazy to make their own. another thing you can check their social media and their admin or moderator. Most of them using fake admin or moderator account
The copied and plagiarized documentation that projects offer us is a big problem in the cryptocurrency space. Moreover, this problem occurs not only in scam projects, well-known projects copy some ideas word for word, this happens very often, they literally rewrite other people's achievements for their needs.
Indeed, only a small number of startups have truly ingenious concepts; these startups become the pillars of the entire cryptocurrency market. Basically, only these ingenious ideas have a chance of success in the future, the rest are either scammers or loss-making investments, both of which lead to the loss of investor money.
To avoid all these plagiarized projects, it is best that we just allow them to be fully established before we think of investing in them, at least by the time they enter exchange, one problem would have already been dealt with.
I mean the problem of scamming us before they get to enter exchange, from their entrance into exchange, we could now filter it further to projects that are on quack exchanges or projects that are on reliable exchanges like binance, kucoin, bittrex because I believe that project that would have made use of these exchanges will still have some level of integrity in them, even though they can also fail when the developer is such that is inexperience and lacks the enthusiasm to push a project forward.
