Hard to avoid a scam, we need to idendify them before we invest. Here is some tips.
3 Ways to Identify an ICO Scam:
1. The Developers Are Anonymous
The first and most clearest sign of an ICO scam is that the token’s developers are anonymous or otherwise-unknown.
2. The Token Does Not Have a Clear Use Case
Another sign of an ICO scam is that the developers are unable to clearly articulate a valid use case for the token.
3. The Whitepaper Sets Unrealistic Goals
If the whitepaper sets an unrealistic development schedule, it either means the developers are using deceptive tactics to attract token buyers or they lack the necessary experience to give a sensible scope to the project. Either way, this does not bode well for the success of the project and its corresponding token.
My suggestion to avoid a scam is read whitpaper thoroughly and carefully, go to their site to see who is the developer and check their background history.
Go to several site see how people comments and discribe about their project.
hope this help you and wish you best luck for future investment.

Now, there are a lot of projects every day that cheat people and just disappear with money. You need to be very careful and carefully choose a company for investment. I advise you to carefully review the project team, or there are no cheaters in it.
to begin with, there is a lot of data on the fool - that is, people are mentioned in the team who do not even know that they are involved in the ICO. Next, check the competence of those involved. Further realism of the idea. Next, check the white paper on how there just described idea, there is one water and common phrases. The most convenient way now is the rating from ICO trackers. At least this is the primary selection, which makes sense to pay attention to
If you want know seriously scam this project or not you can do some steps

2) Team: try find team on social media and ask about project
Or you can use simplest way, join to the scam chats and see what peoples think about selected by you project

Protect yourself by not being so gullible. There are several scammers in this forum that take advantage of newbies. Learn how to read and apply what you read. Do not immediately plunge into something you are not sure of. Do your research regarding the offers, or if its an ICO, research on its team, scrutinize its whitepaper, and go to reliable sites like icorating or icobench etc to know the credibility of that ICO. You will lose money if you are gullible here. Always be cautious and ask feedbacks from other people.
