PRESALE BEGINS UP TO 45% DISCOUNT

Quote from: darth_cryptorider on April 22, 2018, 12:23:35 PM

No, never. I have my own system how to choose ICO. Always do your own research before invest money in any ICO. Maybe I'm just lucky.

even if you're spending more time on research regarding a specific altcoin or ICOs but scam and fake ICOs are too good to be true.
the only way to not get scammed is to wait for them to appear on coinmaketcap.com or crypto exchanges so that will ensure that they're not scam or fraud.
you can do research about ICOs and altcoins but nothing's safer when you do hi invest on crypto exchanges especially if their trading volume is consistent and higher than $50,000 daily.

PRESALE BEGINS UP TO 45% DISCOUNT

Have you ever been scammed in an ico,
How?

there are more people who are get scammed by ICOs because investors will place their investments through their hard-earned money and then that ICO will not give you any coins or some will give but never bump on coin exchanges or even on www.coinmarketcap.com
I haven't been scammed by ICOs because I never invested any altcoins on their ICO stage but instead I just wait for them to hit coin exchanges and but coins as many as I like.
A friend of mine has been scammed for worth of 3.6 Eth and I don't think it's painful for Him.

It is normal my friend, 4 out of 10 icos are scam nowadays, you should be very aware of that, and if you join a bounty that ends up being a scam, it is because you joined one being a blind guy. Most of icos who raise more than millions are never gonna scam

I'm very often exposed to ico scam, but I never experienced financial losses, because I just follow the bounty campaign, but it still sucks because it is a waste of time and effort

DIW - Security Decentralized,Life Revolutionized

PopulTrade - in my opinion these scammers. I participated in the bounty, spent more than 2 months on them, and they literally closed yesterday. And most likely I like the rest of the bounties will not get anything.

actually all ico's are okay the only problem that it looks like a scam is when you did not get a profit or sometimes
the price or value after ico is low, the reason why is because of investor who dump the coin so early to get profit
that is the reason i see why all icos that dont get to see a high price is because of that and in return they are being called
scam that is my opinion

I have not yet invested on ICO, that is not because I am afraid of investing on ICO. I have just joined this business and yet lot to learn. But whenever I contribute to any project a look at their scope, their plan, purpose and specially their team. We should really dig into the details of their team, github of LinkedIn may come in handy for this. Some projects come with big mouths, but no any proofs for their future. There are lot of resources with the internet, so use it and dig their pits before investing.

If you can do as you said, you will be good at picking up the best projects.
I wish I could do the same, but I usually don't.
I usually follow some resource I trust.

I havent been scammed personally, but heard and saw a lot of horror stories, like Confido scam (the team was not reachable and their profile looked highly faked) so I always try to do research and due diligence and look clearly whos is the team and make sure they really do exist!
Another friend invest into a Crypto and soon realized that the team Github had no meaningful update since a year (compared to what they where claiming to their site) very scary aswell!

It is not easy to avoid getting scammed if you participate in lots of ICOs.
As long as you can filter the obvious scams, and only invest the top ones, you will make good profit.

Ico is risky investment, but high risk high return. For those who got scammed buy any ico, that is great chance to learn new lesson and experience. For those prepare to join any ico, they must research clear everything to avoid scam project.

Those who have been scammed have been ignorant to their coins not attending their progress and the duration of their ICO. Theres no way you will be scammed if you just trade or sold their coin for a quick money. But if youre sighting a good start you may invest all you want.

I have not been scammed by ICO. I think people must be careful when joining these types of campaign.

I have experienced joining bounty campaign once and not being payed the correct amount that i should receive after the end of campaign and that was cartaxi ico. You should always check the manager of campaign and developer if they can really be trusted before investing or or joining the campaign.

yes, I was once a victim of fraud on the ICO. I am very angry and I am disappointed at the ICO because I have worked for the ICO.
now I will be more careful if I want to join ICO.
