No you cant ignore these scam projects because even those good looking projects might turn into a scam.These people are working professionally so people wont see any redflags to their campaigns and you will only know its a scam when they already runaway.You should be getting informations to whome these people are so incase they runaway you can easily tracked those bastards.

Honestly you can even those good looking projects might turn into scams,so you wont be able to know what will happen after the ICO.
There are ICO really that seems shocking when they turned to be scam out of no where, one minute their good then after the ICO they will just run away as if nothing happens , always be careful. It's better to have companies with background that will not risk their names.

icos are good way to invest but there so many scam as well how to recognise the scam icos ?

Scammers are inevitable. They are everywhere. It is up to us to be careful at all times. You cannot stay away from them but you can avoid them. How? By simply being smart and alert. Before investing in some coins you should check there white paper. It is the most legit and most visited site to know whether the coins are legit or not. The purpose and the objective of one coins are written all there.

Basically you cant,because not all the scammy ICOs are going to scam you and not all the legit projects wont,it is depends on the people behind the project if they wanted to runaway they can easily do that,especially these people arent using their real identities which is why they cant be tracked easily.

you can see the roadmap, is it really legal in the sense that the project is real. usually there are listed projects that are legally permitted his permission. and you can find out what the project offers whether it really makes sense or not.

It was hard to ignore scam ICO. Why ? because in the first place, we can't identify if the specific ICO is scam or genuine. We can't judge their white paper and platform. Because even their white paper and platform is like genuine, there should be possible that the project is a scam. You will only know it at the end of tokensale.
So, instead of ignoring ICO. I will advise you if you are an investors, you should avoid to invest to those new ICO instead invest to trustworthy token like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, etc...
And if you a bounty hunter and wanting to avoid to work under scammer. It was hard to avoid, yet be happy if the project you've chosen is not scam.

There are definitely ways to minimize your chances of getting scammed during an ICO.  Research the team is very important, find out if they are real people or not.  Don't invest everything you have into ICOs, only put a small portion and the rest in well established projects.

Basically you cant,because these people are professionals,the website and whitepapers are good enough not to be noticed as scam,the people behind these ICOs looks legit ,but might turn into a scam all of a sudden and you wont have any idea when will these people are going to scam the investors,so as a good investor you should be doing your research.

It will be almost impossible to completely avoid scam ICOs since much of the market is grossly unregulated.But we can at least reduce the chance of investing in scam by a good research.That will most times eliminate 90 percent scams.Look  out for crappy whitepaper,plagiarism,phony team members,advisers (contact them if a notable figure is listed),website,vision, concept (does it deserve funding in the first instance),originality,social media page-is it a new page or outright rubbish,activities,is there a parent company or research group,what is on ground,is there a viable project already,roadmap etc.The list is endless.Ask questions,it is your right to know.

Some of the ICO scams looks legit,until these people turned the table so no,you cant really avoid scam projects but you can choose not to join any so that you wont be losing anything! it is risky than trading blindly because you are going to lose everything if the project that you invested to has turned into a big scam,some of these projects are allegedly connected to previous schemes so i can say these people are in group.

To ignore them simply press the ignore button. Grin
Block them at telegram if that is where they try to invite you.

To recognize a good one then look at their roadmap.
See the product that they will be making and try to imagine if there will be a good sense into what they will try to make.

The team should be good at cryptos and also have a marketing strategist that can explode their market cap. Grin

First of all, look at the site of the project, how it is executed, qualitatively? Whether there are spelling mistakes in the text, read the whitepaper, see how it is implemented. Everything should be at the highest level and look very good. Then the project has a good chance of being real and promising.

It is necessary to determine the idea of the company, to evaluate the popularity (popular projects are rarely crooks) and, of course, to study the team.

Do your own homework.How? Research and investigate things regarding or towards the project.It is very hard actually yet scam ICO's nowadays is really hard to determine on the earlier phase yet they do design,market almost on legit way which we do even believe that they are real without knowing that their intentions is just to scam.This is why sometimes intuition will be a big help,when you see shady things or act then better to skip it out.

The simplest thing you can do is go to their website and see all the criteria ICOs need. And contact the bounty team directly for information, go to the Telegram community to see if the members are active. These are the ways to help you discover a scam ICO.

One of the best legitimacy tests you can make to an ICO is speaking directly to the management team. If their backgrounds seem shady or anonymous, or you don't even hear back from them, chances are high ICO is a scam.

A real conversation with the founder of the project should be one of the first steps of your assessment.

To recognize a scam ico, I think you should take a look the announcements about the ico and the bounty campaign page of it. You should read the comments  and do research about it, I think these are maybe the most important ones.
