For all noobs follow some simple rules not to get scammed.

1. Do NOT trust ANY of these ICO "rating" sites, id say all are scammers as they are happy to list scams with a small payment in back pocket.#

Example: Recent ICO ARRound. look at the high rating for the ICO.  99.9% this is gonig to turn out a scam. Why? For other reasons i will add to watch out for.

2. Heavily moderatted BCT page. The slightest sniff of anyone with anything other than BS praise and hype for project and they will remove post.  Again taking Arround as a example, i posted to say the ICO website page, is giving bad "Untrusted Certificate" warning, instead of replying saying "thanks we will look into it" they just remvoed my post.

3. Heavily moderated Telegram page.   

4. Discounts of 30% or more are always suspicious.

5. Proof. Ask for proof of partnerships and deals, often you will be met with silence.


These are some GOLDEN RULES above to follow, but in all honesty, as people have mentioned, 99% are straight up scams, more so now than ever. My advice is to stay WELL AWAY from ALL ICO's and invest in solid Altcoins, that have a proven record.

Be safe out here!

Yes, but even some rating listings are scams. I take the example of www.airdrops.io that promotes airdrops. At first it seems interesting because there is an upgrade and downgrade system for the people (with + and - buttons) But, sometimes you see a project going from +300 points to less than -100 in just 5 minutes lol There must be some fake stuff here. Also I saw project pumped from 0 to +500 in 10 minutes. this is just another scam rating where some CEOs pay and the other who dont pay get a bad rating.

As cryptoenthused said, it's better to focus on the positive seeing as there are more than enough scams to go around. There is a website that is slowly coming together called http://cryptoshib.com/ico-ratings/  they are aiming to be the hub for ICO reviews/comparisons and bounty/airdrop reviews. Keep up with them; they seem like a good solid project.
Thanks for the support community, it is only because of such support that we have made this far Smiley

I think that 90% of the ICOs are now false. I think everyone wants to avoid being deceived. The best way is to stay away from such investment methods!

Its is really hard to tell if a project is a potential scam at the beginning of the project with a lot of projects coming up with good teams and ideas yet some end up not living up to expectations. Just do a thorough research on any one you wanna invest your money on bearing in mind you could end up making a loss

Predicting ICOs that are upcoming will be a difficult thing to say because many of scam projects are realized after the sales; that's when no one hears from them again after taking the money

It is very difficult for many projects to know if it is not a liar after a long period of funding, rather than ahead of time.

Telling if its a scam for 100% before the end of ICO isnt right, i think.
Cause its just your guesses which might have an influence on the reader and you could be wrong

Tough luck for other people here. Nowadays, new ICO scammers are now really into their white papers and websites in order for them to lure people wanting them to believe they’re legit ICOs. But sometimes, ICOs are legit but were not successful, so they’re being called as scammers as well. My advise is, check and study the product much deeper. Always keep that in mind. Even the developers.
