As i read up in the article.

"No Digital KYC Solution or Identity Verification Service"

On having these kind of procedures it doesnt mean that all projects that do impose KYC is legit one.There are still who do take advantage just to get necessary documentations to its investors for those fraud projects.

Hi there!

Please read the ways to verify whether an ICO is scam or not. In future, this may applicable to bitcoin as well.

Have your say.
Ponzi like forms of fraud can be recognized by the lure of big profits in a short time, where the only way to get it is by depositing your money into a scam perpetrator. If you already recognize the signs, avoid all those who offer investment with Ponzi characteristics.

If you ask me, the simple way to stay away from scam ICOs is not be greedy. I can't imagine an ICO raising fund and claiming to give as much as 100% as bonus for early bird investors, that one is no longer asking for funding, its enticing you to part away with your money or the one that is only asking your to put in your details to be on the "whitelist" or another one that cannot manage to hire a good, competent and efficient community manager.

Also @Op if you really want to create awareness for people to not fall in scam activities as it relates to ICOs, then you could have copy and posted from the website here (of course acknowledging the source) with that everyone can get the full gist rather than referring people to your site in which you might not even be adding anything new that we have not been aware of before and at the same time, riding on the ignorance of people to increase the traffic to such site.

the point is maybe bitcoin will be the same for the future, especially in terms of depletion prevention to increase security so investors feel safe. so far bitcoin has also spent quite a lot of money in this case and in handling bitcoin has also used third party digital KYT and identity verification is usually a good indicator that the company is serious about its future and investors' money.

Yes, I think it will be beneficial for investors who want to participate in the ICO.
I think that an article can be a very useful reference.

80% of fraud rates are only a few% and in this case the ICO has arrested interested people.
People invest in the ICO to get profits, because companies grow and increase, the value of coins rises and can be traded on various exchanges. Some companies even offer dividends to coin holders, similar to what is expected from the shares they have bought. Others offer discounts and other benefits to coin holders.

I believe greed is one issue investors which is capable of leading us into some of these icos that will later leave us better than we were before.

Meanwhile, it is left for investors to wonder whether the coin is worth it or not.
This post should address to all of the investors and future investors to do their own research before leaving their money to someone over the internet. I would like them to look at the team if they were all legitimate people with a clean background. It all just matter to the result of your research when you really want to choose the right project.
These are basic steps but the common thing where most people do neglect about because of their greediness they do forget these basic things to consider first when it comes to investment.This is really a big mistake which would normally causes for a certain loss of investment.We do know how rampant these frauds and scam exist into this market not only on crypto but into other traditional businesses as well as long it do involves money then expect frauds would always tied into it.

Fraudsters always use many methods including offering fake ICOs. Scams in any industry is not a new thing and crypto being a decentralized and open source concept is one of the easiest to replicate.

The only way to not get scammed is to trust legit sources of information, as well as self-education of investors through trusted sources. that’s why all you need to do is to spend some time teaching yourself so that you don’t get scammed.

It is quite not that hard to know that a particular ICO is a scam. As you mentioned, the poor website can be a good detail to point out scammers as well as fake promising and false hopes. Scammers tend to say you can win 1 btc easily and without any effort. It is not only about ICOs, but also there are many scammers in gambling sites. They tell you that you have a big chance to win if you just give us 0.02 btc. I, honestly, do not trust these kind of people.

You have some points that I agree with but some too that I don't think make the list, for me though.

As you mentioned, the poor website can be a good detail to point out scammers.
For instance, The quoted line does not really mean that a good website is a good sign for an ico that won't scam people. They would have nice website so that people won't suspect until they have collected your money, then you would see the real skeleton behind the flesh.

Scammers tend to say you can win 1 btc easily and without any effort. It is not only about ICOs, but also there are many scammers in gambling sites. They tell you that you have a big chance to win if you just give us 0.02 btc.

Truely, you are quite correct. This is a no trying test because once you make a try and succeed, the second time, you might sell your house and lose everything. Don't try it at all, is all scamming idea.
there are many ways to find out a fraud in an ICO on a bitcointalk forum, usually fraudsters will carry out their actions by using several new accounts, which are still low ranks, ico fraud is usually done in the form of a signature or bounty campaign which if we see the first week of payment it will be safe and in the next few weeks there will be no renewal of payments, but it can happen because everything is not real.

Nice read, I decided some time ago not to invest in ICO's anymore because they are too risky. More risky than investing in projects that already exist and are being worked on.

A really good group of scammers will spend all of their time reading articles like this to know exactly how to trick people. Then they will carefully follow all steps mentioned to ensure that a very solid front appears. They'll also spend a lot of time on marketing and building relationships with those that matter: endorsers, clients, press, etc. to ensure they have a very positive image being portrayed.

They won't make any false promises or engage in any trickery. Until one day, they flick the switch and no one is to be seen. Poof, gone.

Thats a very good point scammers are smart but please keep in mind we always have some chance against scammers if we are able to see some warning signs. Thats my point. Even some knowledge can really help you a lot.

Yes, I agree. It's impossible to maintain an illusion forever, and even the best scammers will show cracks in their image. If we as buyers pay close attention to the signals that are coming from these people, we should be able to recognize if they are trying to scam us. It's almost like an intuitive feel that something is going wrong.

If you have that feeling, it's probably time to exit. Exiting at a loss is better than losing the entire initial investment. We naturally try to resist losses, but sometimes they are necessary.
