Don't invest in ICO's unless you have a high risk tolerance, even the legit projects have a high chance of failure.  I've read that over 90 percent of ICO's in the past year have ended up failing.  The obvious scams are easy to identify because they usually copy their whitepaper and have fake team member pictures.

Scammers are the ones giving the cryptocurrency community the bad name and at that pushing people away from the community and at the end given the entire system bad image before the public, and the only way we can over come scam is to stop being too greedy and always take our time to study each opportunity before jumping to it.

It’s so hard to know that the ICO are scams. Unless if you’ve been a victim before. Have you heard about Myshield the first decentralized Anti-Scam platform that will definitely help us eliminate and destroy those Scams in Crypto industry. If not now then when? So join the community now. t.me/MyShield_TM
You are talking nonsense, an effort to try to eradicate scams is fine and that is something I could support but to say that you are going to definitely eliminate scams in this market takes away any credibility you may have since that is impossible, just look at society at large, there are very clear laws and punishments against some of the most serious offenses like murder or rape, has that stopped those that commit those crimes? No, do you know why? Because they think they can get away with it.

And in this market that is mostly unregulated where it is almost impossible to know the true identity of the other person that you are talking over the Internet, the scammers are finding a very easy way to make a lot of money, so the easiest way to avoid being scammed by icos is by not investing in icos, it is that simple.

What you are doing right this is called one kind of good promotion but this is also one kind of scam to attract the people in the telegram channel dude. I invest on ICO i know my own rules to check the project whether it is legit or not dude.

Please check the white paper and understand whether the blockchain platform is good for that project or not.

The concept of MyShield is good, however, it still doesn't guarantee that you won't be scammed by a project's ICO. I mean, who/what could predict a sudden scam exit or hack and theft of ICO funds, especially if the project is top-notch and has a robust team?

its hard to know but for me i dont want to join in some icos that have a low members in telegram and not active and the twitter followers is not big or in fb also and if you want to join in some campaigns  try to join in trusted managers so you are protected from scammers try to read also their roadmap and also their partnerships and website.

If somebody emailed or called and said they were from the IRS and said you owed back taxes that had to be paid immediately… would you send them money? Believe or not, many people do. The old school method is to have the victim wire money via Western Union or transfer funds to a bank account. Now con men are contacting victims and demanding that victims transfer Bitcoin to their wallet. There’s an easy fix—don’t trust those calls or emails. Legitimate authorities wouldn’t contact you that way – and they won’t ask for Bitcoin, as you can imagine.

I have not read over the telegram channel fully yet but it sounds like a great idea.  I really doubt though that it will be able to eliminate all the scams.  Scammers been scamming since the dawn of time and people have been falling for it time and time again.  Anything in the right direction is greatly welcomed though.

as soon as the us dollar measurement disappears,

scams can be spoted when there is no product in development

as long as the us dollar evaluation stays doiminant for distintion between scam and no scam, it wont be easy to distinguish scams from failed rejected or unfinished projects

the us dollar even evaulated shitty projects worse than many good ones
