After reading their whitepaper then ask yourself these questions:
1. Does the document make sense to you? (Did you get a picture of the whole idea they are talking about?)
2. Is project going to provide any real solution to any problem? (scam projects usually provide vague solutions which normally does not point out the blockchain aspect in it)
3. Is the document having original contents (scam projects usually copy people's work)
4. How old is their official website (most scam projects usually have new websites)
5. What has the team done already towards the project.(scam projects usually do not have any detailed roadmap)
6. Check the team's profile on linkedIn and also their number of connections. (fake ones usually have low and no real connections.)
7. Check the token distribution. Is there equity and equality? (the scam ones usually allocate higher percentages to the team)
8. Did they give any abnormal price speculations? (i joined one bounty(Crestonium) who promised 3 times profit within 6 months else they are going to refund investors monies back to them. They ended up being a scam)

No matter how vigilant you are, you can still get scammed but at least, you can reduce the risk of being scammed. Enjoy your day


Yes, to avoid being scammed I first check the telegram of the project how many are connected to them and how fast they reply to the members and investors. Then I will check the roadmap the whitepaper. The team that managed the project is also a very important thing. How well they plan the project and how interesting it is to the consumers and the public. Although, sometimes how much checking and evaluating we do before investing sometimes it is hard to choose a good project and a good ICO. But we should be careful with our investment to avoid lossing our money.

Everything at the present time good thing. Until they are unsuccessful in per-sale ICO. They become Scams. Every project before the start of the thing looks very good. White Paper, Team, Investor. Everything looks perfect. So scams are becoming more sophisticated and dangerous now

Yes it is a good way to avoid fraud in ico projects that harm investors. many of which I found ico projects that use fake data to create team members and advisors. always check the truth of the ico project.

I think we should pay as much attention to gtihub code development as possible.
If a team has maintained active development in the past, the project is generally not a hoax.

I think the rise in scam projects these days is so alarming. Even those ones who didn't mean to be scam eventually turn out to be scam because the ICO will not be successful.
