Don't believe what their team 'claims', there must be token contract address where all funds would have been sent and tokens would have been generated, check it. If it seems fishy then it probably is.

Op, can you name the project you're talking about? I can't tell if the project is scam or not but it might be their strategy not to list the token on exchange when the product is not ready in order to prevent big dump.

when a project has received 50 million dollars and it has been proven that they have promoted their project at an event, I don't think you need to doubt their project anymore. and most projects that already have large funds they will work optimally so that their project is known to the world.

There are quite a few large crowdsales that raised significant amounts of capital but have yet to list on a secondary market and this can be for various reasons including the current market conditions or not having a working product ready yet but if the team is communicative and demonstrating solid progress then it's unlikely it's an outright scam and some projects offer refunds if there are unforeseen delays or regulatory issues

I am sure it is a scam. But remember getting listed on exchange is not the criteria that the project isn't scam.
Take the example of CREDITS (CS). They have raised a lot of money through ICO and it looks like their telegram is still active. But
- The same group of people of around 20 marketing team members are there who keep changing their names and it looks like they are very active
- They release the tokens without informing others and selling the supply and whales earning big chunk of money like that.
- Not listed on even a single big exchange.
So in my view even if a project is listed on an exchange, still it doesn't guarantee the credibility of it.
And the scenario that you gave, it looks like it is a pure scam.

I also participated with a project that did the same thing. but it is difficult to say that the project is a scam, because until now the telegram is still active, moreover the project team is still there. maybe they are still developing for the platform or something, as long as the project team continues to be active I think the project is not fraud I don't know that's just my assumption.

I have join a project to which it claims that the team was able to collect 50M in USD but until now they could not be able to list the token in an exchange. Their reason was the team were preparing the platform for almost 3 mos. now. I am starting to believe it when they show something great after sponsoring a certain event to which the name of the project was being flashed in the screen. Is it possible that the team is telling the truth? They want to bring a project with demand so that the token will not be undervalued. What do you think of this project scam or not? I could not name the project for now to protect their reputation.
Seems like a lot of projects out there currently are just presenting their investors with big and shiny words like they will do that, they are doing this... bla bla bla. That's why it is always mandatory to do thorough research before investing your money or time (through bounty campaigns). And if something feels fishy it definitely is, and keep away from those kind of projects. Also, I'm sorry to hear if that turns out to be a scam.

This year is different from before, although an ICO can collect more funds than expected but this cannot guarantee to quick listed in exchange. So as long as all their social media accounts remain active and responsive I think this is not a scam.

if there are projects that claim to reach hardcap with fantastic value of up to $ 50 million or more but not listed on the stock exchange after a few months the ICO ends, it is worth suspecting that the listing fee is only 2-3% of ICO but not doing so, just because the reason is still platform development
But if that money comes mostly from big investors, they don't need it to be listed on exchange. What they need is to set goals and achieve to make the project bigger and bigger. But does anyone tell me what the project is?
February 03, 2019, 01:57:59 PM
They are preparing it in the next 3 months. So wait to know what they will do next. You should see their roadmap and find the plan to list token on exchange. They cannot list tokens after reaching hardcap . they are scammers to make money.

Maybe you better sight the ICO so that people know and can give you a good advise if you will just create a story regarding the ICO. And let us say it happened, yes it might be a scam due to the success of ICO and the time lapse for 3 months and they dont give a good reason.
February 03, 2019, 12:22:58 PM
If a project achieved hard cap than it mean project have a potential & a good sound. You have to check their road map might possible they are touch in any exchanges regarding listing of tokens.
So you have to wait for positive response.

You have to give link for us to check your situation, otherwise how could we know what is the name of the project? I also want to tell you that after the ICO time the projects need to prepare for the next steps and that would need some time. So three months not a such a long time, you need to give them more time unless they are not scammer. Scamming problem is everywhere in blockchain system and i wish that it would stay away from all of us..
That will going to identify the projects name and will be compromise.their reputation so probably OP does not want to give a link as to avoid any conflicts in regards with the team and how they managed their project.

Well, getting listed in an exchange after an ICO is not really healthy for a project. We all know that there are a lot of people, not just bounty hunters, but also investors who dump their tokens just right after it gets listed to get all the money they can. It's good if the project is holding that event to happen, and focusing on the product it self.
February 03, 2019, 11:58:32 AM
And this project accurately collected the named amount? Projects sometimes overestimate the funds invested in them in order to attract more attention.
February 03, 2019, 11:52:00 AM
Please, tell me more about ICo you mean.Without any information I won't be able to give you answer.
As for me some ICOs just blatanly lie about amount collected and simply draw these collections without any proofs

Dont think so, 80% of projects dont list their tokens fast because of market conditions we got today. Even big and wellknown project can delay the listing for 6 months or even a year, its not mean that the project is scam, its just todays reality.

sometimes the team member from the project give a fake informations abot how much money collected from the crowdsale,,
why they do this,, because they want to create a huge hype in their project,,
because, if they really collected about 50M USD,, is not too hard for their project to be listed on major exchange
