That aside, OP, fraud projects usually take advantage of present hype or precedence
And this is why as the halving draws nearer and nearer, and even after the bitcoin halving, there will be a lot of projects who will function for a short while befote dying off.
Always do your own research before investment

This is really sad, scammers are really benefitting from others hard earned money. I do think we have to becareful while investing. And many will spend such little dollar, get more than 500$ and just mute. Some also do pay people on telegram to add up fake users just to increase the group growth and embarks on bounty .
I can't deny the fact that the introduction of IEO brought correction to cryptocurrency tokensales as all the projects that launch IEO's on trusted exchanges are kind of legit and trusted. For quite some times mow, only the good projects raise money now unless investors becomes gullible and invest in project that doesn't list on trusted exchanges. I admit the scam exits of most ICO projects in 2017/2018 contributes to the mess of a market we are dealing with as lots of investors bailed out after being scammed multiple times. I just hope a proper audit will be provided to vet start up projects, that way the rate of scam will drastically reduce.
I always complain about ICO projects not just because of rewards? but because of the increasingly rampant project fraud!
on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !!
and this is very unexpected, that there is a site that offers services to create an ICO project complete with ERC20 Tokens!
with only $ 50 a person can make millions of dollars from the results of fraudulent projects

imagine if this continues, then the rich will increasingly become rich !! scamers

It's pretty much easy and cheep to create an erc-20 token. Well their (ETH team) intention wasn't wrong. They create a opportunity for all people who want to make their own project in crypto industry. But you can't stop scammers to doing their shit jobs. No matter how much reliable process you find they will make a hole into that process and try to scam people anyway.
In 2018 when ICO give us unstoppable scam/dead projects people thought IEO is the solution for that. And now IEO is running the same direction because of many shit exchanges. So we have to survive form those things with our own experience. Don't fall for any greedy offer and always try to invest/promote on actual project.

I guess you may create an ERC20 token even for just $10 as someone offered dead cheaper coding in our services board if I remember correctly. I guess, just having a new ERC tokens will not be enough to kick off a project and to scam this community in the name of ICO. They must be needing lots of other set up to show us like a highly legit project.on the other hand the first reason why we find it difficult to know about fraud projects or not, because almost most ICO projects look real !!

It means I guess just spending 50 will not be enough to launch a scammy ICO in my opinion. Also, when the cost required to run an ICO increases then the chances for new ICOs for scam intentions may get reduced somehowe right?
If you check very you will see most of this dev folks always target Ethereum blockchain due to cheap cost to create a smart contracts and this is the reason why many scammers too always like to go for Ethereum blockchain. In fact if you check on services discussion you will see many users that offer such services at a very low cost.

Scammers are feeding fat while we are swimming in loss that is the stories of ICO in the past. I guess the rate of scam has reduced drastically over time thank God for every individuals that are taking their time to analysed projects before engaging in it.
It's not like before , as at now fraud projects has reduced. If we are not greedy we will know. Our greed and laziness is what covers our eyes from seeing it.
I would agree with you after going through the gig. Creating everything is as easy as anything and as such fraud will always abound due to the low cost of launching it. We should help stop these ICOs and IEOs before it's too late.
This is not a new things. Scammers are doing this for a long time because of the ease of creating a token and launching an ICO. The total cost for launching an ICO perfectly is below than $500 and scammers are taking that chance.
It is true that it is not easy to detect ICO fraud or not but it is not that hard. Very few scam ICO are well planned. If investor takes a deeper look at everything, it is easy to decide whether it is scam or not.

It is not enough for us to keep saying it is not a new thing while ills keep going on here against innocent hunters trying to support project and get paid too.
We can move ahead further to check this scammers by starting from those bounty mismanagers who have been flagged for running scam bounties. The forum can ban them and gradually scamming will reduce because it is really out of control.
I really hate that, it's better to invest in projects that are clearly running and the number of them is no less much than new projects. New project investment, especially ICO is better to avoid it now. When there are no clear rules for new projects, investment is a waste of money.
I hope there is no new ICO that popping up again. Basically yes, the scammer will help to ask some easy services to scammed the people here.
Other than that, the majority of ICO and its behavior will give a lot of profit although it is just for short term investment.
I only saw, there is a few project that held some ICOs or IEOs who successfully launched and have a real function for this world at least in the future. But most of them only gone to the trash and being shitcoin.
Now no one will invest in an ICO because they know it's a scam. They will never waste money and time on such bullshit projects. Right now IEO is the best option for people to invest in to earn a profit, but we should only join IEO at the leading exchanges in this market to ensure safety.Other than that, the majority of ICO and its behavior will give a lot of profit although it is just for short term investment.

The only things that keep the scamming world growing is the inability of the cryptocurrency populist to understand the ways these guys work around the globe. The only thing that keeps them winning is the newborn babies who have joined the world of cryptocurrency without any good idea of the ways these guys operate. Let's be more careful about the offers these guys bring onboard and we should be more less greedy. Greediness is the major causes of these victims in the hands of the fraudsters. So your research before invest in any project or offer.
As a rule, such fraudulent projects differ in that they use free site templates, fake team, and plagiarism whitepaper. All this is done in order to minimize the cost of creating a fraudulent ICO. But if you carefully study the ongoing ICO, all these signs of fraud are easily identified.
Well there are some projects that looks really legit people would not believe that the project turns out to be scam. Reminds me the case of IEO scam in the past in 1 one most popular platform that the aftermath severely destroy that exchange's reputation.These kind of scam ICO usually using someone else's identities by faking it, so if someone really want to make sure try to find some clarification by forcing them to appear or making clarification video.
Indeed, if the ICO team uses videos from various conferences in its presentation, it will only increase the confidence of investors in the project. Unlike legitimate projects, scammers usually use stock photos or photos processed in the editor, so they will not be able to submit videos of their team to confirm their legality.
It will be hard to eliminate them and the only thing we can do is to avoid them as much as we can. It will be hard since it is unknown to everyone on how to determine the real and those good to be a real project, but at least bounty hunters should give more time to investigate and locate those fraud projects.
yes to get rid of it is very difficult maybe out there are still many website makers and erc20 at a cheaper and correct price you say if we have to spend more time doing research 
I agree that there are more and more scam projects and are difficult to distinguish from real projects, one of the reasons is right now
easy to make our own coins. Many services making ICO projects with only capital under $ 100 can already make ICO projects.Therefore
we are very difficult to distinguish real or fake projects. So no wonder since 2018 until now almost 90% projects are scams.Very worried
about the condition of the crypto world today.
Yes, it is very difficult to distinguish between fake projects and real projects, because the scammer projects are already very clever in printing fake projects that are almost similar to the real ones, and the only solution now is to make several studies of new projects as detailed as possible so that we can know the clarity of the project, even though we cannot know it fully. easy to make our own coins.

ICO is the reason why scammers are on here and so far it's been a successful journey for many scammers since crypto space is a haven of freedom where you can do anything to your victims and run away freely, it's a big shame that to this day no single solution for such act
As a single solution, it does not exist until now, only for a temporary solution is to make some research on all new ICO projects and IEO projects on a low exchange, because IEO in a low exchange is also often a scam.

If there are such services then it is very difficult to eliminate the Scamer project let alone the cost they spend very little until they can get amazing results until they do not appreciate us who continue to promote their project because without any payment, the team that manages the Scamer project go so far when the project is over, when the problem will be eliminated.
