Hello everybody .
Tell us, how do you recognize the scammers? I've met a lot of fraudulent projects and I can say that I learned by bitter experience, but every day it's more difficult to distinguish a good project from scammers.We do not want to lose our money and do not waste time in the empty, participating in the companies bounty.

Reliable projects always stay in active contact with the community. Even if they do not have many news to place within their social networks pages, they always answer question in online chats. In the same time, if the team had not made a post for several weeks, project may be abandoned.

In this forum there have been many who made a thread about how to distinguish legit bounties and scam bounties, you can read them interrupted during your time. And also in this forum there were a thread that makde bounty managers who have good credibility and they will know the future of the project scam or legit. Had better, you can read it yourself.

Now scammers have become more inventive.I believe that the ICO market has not outlived its usefulness. If the team is aimed at a good result,it should follow a few simple principles:
1) Real profiles of team members on the site,with links to profiles in social networks. Moreover, these people should be active and regularly update the information in the profile (photos,videos);
2) Regular maintenance and updating of information about the company on social networks(Reddit,Facebook,Twitter);

absolutely right and all we have to do is do not rush to invest or choose ICO because there are now a lot of fraud. so we have to be more careful about the vision and mission of the ICO that we will choose

I look at the team and especially at founders. Everyone today has a social network profile, and if we see in whitepapper that founder was working with some project for a long time but we could not find enough information about that project in social media, that means that either this founder has a small experience in advertising his project or this project even did not exist. So I try to avoid projects like this.

check, recheck and then - check again.

Your are putting your hard earned money in the hands of someone you've never met, so the cardinal rule is to check every bit of information and make sure it is accurate - check the website data, cross reference team member information with social media sites, investigate every key team member to the best of your abilities.

Once you've verified the validity of the project and its members move to step 2 - investigate the market that project is in...is it ripe for success or filled with competitors?

And my own personal bit of crazy - if the project demands a minimum contribution amount that seems rather high - stay out, as they would normally only take that step if they want to insure "seriousness" of investors, while the project may be valid, i am adverse to comply with high demands - a reliable project ought to let me decide how much I want to invest in it, they should welcome all members of all sizes not seek to create an exclusive club.

I think you need to be extremely careful and cautious. It is necessary to watch constantly. Track all your actions. And the most important thing is not to hurry. so as not to make mistakes. For which then you will need to pay.

I think you have to be more careful. Don't give your account to someone you don't trust. make a little complicated password. always open your account and check if there is something different.

We also suffer. There is no one way to learn scam project or real. There is faith in the bounty manager. And analysis of the very idea of the project. Everything else is 50/50 like in a casino.

the most important thing is to be careful yourself,because often the holders themselves give their assets foolishly. A separate device to work ONLY with crypto, a separate e - mail, antivirus, VPN, password generators-this should be enough))

I think we should be more cautious when we are selecting any cryptocurrency project, we should carry out a due diligent search to ascertain the validity of the project through reading the project whitepaper and other related documentation. We should be very careful not to lose our money.

I protect my self not to believe in projects that give you much more profit if you invest with them and don't click any referral link that given to you by unknown person don't to rush or excited to what you see because it can be a threat to your money's security when you're not careful.

I think experience plays an important role in all matters related to crypto, so this is difficult because in every search there is always a risk that we will face, especially in the ICO project. bounty or investment there is no difference. the point is always to try to learn first and try to analyze it

There's nothing you can do about scammers and all the other crappy things happening here. You cannot control that, but you can control yourself, and you can choose to be smart and wise when it comes to making decisions and actions like knowing when a project is suspicious. And that's also why you should first do your research before getting into things.

I disagree with you. SCAM is not impossible to understand the project and people. First of all we can not believe in every opportunity. Sometimes promises don't match reality. The SCAM problem can hurt all of us, but we need to read, investigate and query. If we do, the risk will decrease.

Although I am not a skilled bounty hunter, I am very willing to share my method for you! I hope to help you!
1. Read the white paper (I think this is the most important step)
2. When you think the project is good, you should try to join their group (telegraph, Twitter, Facebook or other social groups) because you can get more knowledge about the project through language exchange!

Well, I think there are many posts about discussion as you ask. in essence you have to look for a lot of knowledge and especially the desire to read a lot from various references to increase your insight in terms of investment or ico. this is important, because experience plays an important role in making knowledge, especially about technical analysis

You can protect yourself only by yourself because everything depends on you and your decisions are key to the success. Be careful about your moves and manipulations with money.
