Arresting crypto scammers will not stop the activity of investors investing into scam projects and getting their money robbed from them. The only solution to this problem, is by educating all crypto investors on spending some quality amount of time to research on  any project they come across in the crypto ecosystem  before deciding to either invest or recommend to any body for them to invest in.  This will limit the amount of scam projects available in the crypto space....

This case continues because it is very difficult to catch hackers, we hunters cannot do much because of the lack of information and strength here. I think as soon as possible there is a hacker exterminator body because it is very detrimental to everyone if there is no action they will never stop.

Salient points made but I will like to chip in that ICOs are not the only aspects of crypto... We have a thousand and one cryptocurrencies in the market and some have shown to have great potentials already.. Using ICOs as excuse not to join crypto is an ignorant decision which i believe many might regret making in the nearest future..

You just have to stop investing in all the projects in a row and start looking for quality projects for a long and hard time, and then you can stop falling into fraudulent projects.
If you are unable to find a good project at all and you are constantly losing your money, then maybe you had better stop investing at all.

That is most burning issues we have to fight with cooperation. This is the reason most newcomers left crypto its mostly Crypto scams or pyramid schemes. So far, scammers are in all areas, be cautious and take care of your capital. The law would be more strict with the time.

Along with the advancement of technology and the development of cryptocurrency itself, there will always be people who commit crimes or fraud that have recently often occurred in the crypto world.
In my opinion, this is indeed requires policies and regulations about cryptocurrency so that there is no fraud or illegal acts from the scammers.
And of course we ourselves must avoid our involvement from scam so as not to harm others.

Well you should better to invest in crypto not in the ICO's, many scam projects these days so keep off if you feel not safe to invest, just invest in trusted crypto like the top 100 in coinmarketcap.

I think the big enemy of Crypto is scammers. All trust will be lost if it has been hit by scammers. I think Scammers must be destroyed immediately, at least we should be able to know, if we already know, I suggest giving information on social media or here so friends know.

I agree scammers should be hunted down and punished. Maybe it will happen. Unless they manage to cash out in privacy coins, everything will remain there forever in the blockchain for anyone to piece evidence together and follow the funds.

How can they be punished when they are not known, the legal system will never permit such act if the identity of the perpetrators where known, but as it stands, they have already taken advantage of the good will of blockchain to create anonymity for themselves which will be very difficult to trace any transaction to them.

The only control method would be for us to just take extra precaution to avoid these bad projects; we should not rush into investing in every project that we come across. When we see a project, the best would be to first study what they have on table and the most important part is to strictly follow up on the team members.

In recent years, scamm has become very much. Investors are the first to suffer, and then bounty hunters. But it seems to me that while the blockchain system has no control, there will be no punishment. Just a few more years fraudsters will live with impunity

That's the crypto world because it can't guide the price to go down, you lose a coin, you find a fraud. All of that you can only learn more deeply in the future to only grow. the profits will come where I am.

Scammer are really still running free, and there are so many people still being victimized by this scammer, but i think it is always depend on us, if the projects scammed we need to stay away from that project for good. I believe that scammers are running free but ee can avoid being scam by improving our self through research to know more about legal ang scam project.

Do you know that despite all these cry here and there of scammers doing this and doing that, we still have some people that are making money from ICO aside IEO. There are still lots of credible projects there with very great concept and new ideas when you read their whitepaper, those who have successfully participated in great ICO amidst the bad one has taken extra step in making more findings outside the ICO.

There was an ICO I was interested in recently, after reading their whitepaper and seeing their linked in page, I sent them a mail asking for their involvement and also to meet them directly via any video call, because I made them understand I would be investing hugely, they refused to grant me audience, and this automatically implies that they are not real, while I have some that gave me the audience.

There are some simple ways to avoid scammers. First, new investors can stick to altcoins with use cases and a proven track record. Second, they should only use reputable exchanges. Third, they should practice good security, by using 2FA, avoiding phishing attempts, regularly updating their antivirus software, and using a hardware wallet if possible.

This is long overdue, I'm sure they see how risky the market has become, lots of scammers are still making money here and newbies loses confidence investing in crypto. This ICO is one of the main source of scams, some can easily fake the team and if they raise money they can disappear easily.
Good thing now we have IEO as so far I've seen more positive feedback.

In that sense, I guess we need to have some kind of regulation and a de facto governing body that could go after those fraudsters and apply to them judicial measures to discouraged would be scammers but I think its near to impossible now since there is little cooperation among the crypto community and almost everybody acts only for himself. Imho.

Well" We need to accept the reality because herein crypto everyone is anonymous hard to identify or distinguish the real identity of the scammer, to avoid get victim of scammer just always becareful investigate well the project before investing.

True, A lot of scam project now, Since nobody put them on jail. That's the disadvantage of cryptocurrency because every scammer can get away so easily.

I think it is high time this issue of rampant scam project be given serious attention by installing high regulations such that there wil be a system of moderating the activities of proposed ICO and those who are the member of the team must disclose their personal details and sign an undertaken on the rightful course of action in the event of the unexpected this is to project the interest of prospective contributors of the project.
