What you said is good, but some of them are not all that necessary if you’re going to find a something legit. Take for example the one you said that we should check their partners and contact them all to know if they are really into any partnership with the so ICO. You don’t really have to start contacting all their partners to know whether the ICO is legit or not, it doesn’t make any sense. Apart from this, every other thing you mentioned is alright.
This is why many are also taking advantage of the telegram groups by displaying themselves and disguising as the admin's, there's no way to stop this but to give public awareness.
There are also scammers on twitter.
Just like by visiting those announcements from the developers, there are these like giveaways that are being held through that.
When there is some instructions that dictates to send you xx amount of eth or bitcoin to an address, that's an obvious scam.
There are many scammers like that and they are everywhere so the only thing we can do to protect ourselves is to not be so dumb, scammers are very smart somehow they are able to get the list of everyone that invested in an ico and then they send them malicious emails trying to get their private keys and unfortunately many people fall for it, so people need to familiarize themselves with the current scams so they can avoid it.There are also scammers on twitter.

And about those malicious emails, it's been in old days that there are so many email scams that are coming out.\
Now they have upgraded into cryptocurrency so as a protection, don't expose any information relevant to your identity because it can be used against you by these scammers.
The second part of what you wrote is what I agree with. The number one is very true. I do know that an ico that is real won't start sending you private message on telegram or soliciting for btc/eth or another other coins as contribution. They will send whatever message in the general telegram group. That is taken but at same time, I still would not give all my trust in.
Thank you for your advice, but I think it is not good time to take part in ICOs, most of the ICOs have not enough value, but so much risky.
Being risky does not mean you cannot take part in it, what is important is for you to know how to minimize the risk to your advantage. We may say because of the risk, we want to stay away, but at the same time, staying away will also make you miss the best part of it. The advantage of ICO is to be a part of a great project from the start and early adopters always end up having the best in any case. Once you can do your diligence with proper scrutiny, then you should be fine.-snip
Scammers are everywhere and probably due to the prime advantage of cryptos, being anonymous, these scammers may have some extra edge. But being careful in common weapon everywhere which will protect us for sure.

I'm worried to those new investors but will land to the wrong people and investment.
The impact that it will bring to that investors will make them pessimistic to crypto's once they became a victim.
The forum is really a big help to determine on who are those scams and legit but everyone must be aware too that the forum does have a lot of scammers that are also looking for their victims and silently attacking those new investors.
Just like those spam PM's that we are receiving. These ICOs that are advertised through those PM's shall not be entertained.

As once you select that you want to participate in ICO, then what you have to keep in mind.
1. No one from team member will contact you personally through telegram or other channels to contribute to you. Only ways of contribution are either through their website or that is mentioned on their website.
2. There are many fake admin profiles on telegram , they will personally message you and will give you contribution address to send ETH/BTC or whatever. Don't listen to them and ban them immediately.
3. Only trust official websites, Admin and team member.
4. you will get email from hackers , don't open them.
5. use 2fa and other securities to your accounts on exchanges.
Recently i get email from fake cryptopia exchange team that someone is trying to access my account. I click on that link and found that it was almost similar to real cryptopia link. So avoid these types of email.
If you have any question or need any help, leave your post below. I will try my best to help all of you.
Thank you and all the best.

I would like to add a little, keep in mind that the credibility of a manager who carries an ICO project is required as a consideration (in deciding to participate in an ICO project)
Good Tips. But you can invest in ICO. Check ICO KYC Report, Whitepaper, Team Members and how roadmap work.
ICO are risky, but if know which ICO are legit you will never lose.

I add some, look at their announcement thread and their telegram group. If the team/admin project is inactive and rarely answer many questions from people, it's a red flag because it means they don't care about it and they make that project only for quick bucks, collect the money from ICOs and run out in the end.

There is a concept in business which states, "the higher the risk, the higher the return." Indeed, ICOs are extremely risky to invest in, but choose the right one and you can turn a few hundred dollars to millions! You don't need to look far, just look at bitcoins. BTC started like $0.000001 or even a lot more zeroes. That translates to millions of dollars if you bought some back when it started.
I agree with you, when we start any investment or trading then we should be-careful and search about it mustily, Otherwise a big loss is waiting for us, if we start trading with search. Once a time, i started investment in a site without any search and later on this site was scam me. So that was a bad experience for me, and till now i search firstly and secondly i do start, and as you explain these are basic and necessary rules, every new trader should follow these.
Yes i can see, you are hero member now , which shows that you are experienced now 
Time teach us those things which no one can teach.
However, it is not like mistakes are bad, at least they make you learn, but the reason why a lot of people document their mistakes is so others can learn from it. For instance, a newbie seeing what you have posted and smart enough to utilize it, will hardly find himself being a victim of scam.
All of these are true, i always keep all of these in my mind, so that i can never made any mistake.
All of these tips are just a simple tips that you can easily learn and do. And the other tips will takes more experience and time in order to know all of that.

It can be worth to invest in icos but you need to be very careful, which is one of the biggest mistakes people make, they do not take the time to make a real effort to see if the ico is legitimate or if it is not, if all the investors took that time I'm pretty sure that we will have a lower number of scams and if that was the case maybe cryptocurrency ads will not have gotten banned by Facebook and Google.
