It's hard to tell wether an ICO lies or not. They are able to provide few papers in order to attract investors. Lately, I have been one of the members of sebeum that did not received any incentive for three weeks. I don't know if the manager was to blame or the founder of creator of the ICO himself. Very disappointing that there are ICOs like these.
In order to avoid things like this, let us be more observant. There are lot of scammers today.

thank you for your suggestion is enough to help me, so the conclusion is
1. we have to choose ICO that looks is developing.
2. we should ask or see more detail about ICO that we will follow.
3. See how many people follow ico.
4. we should be able to consider it.
Is this really like that?

I guess there's nothing we can do. A project called ethbooks investing around $ 10 million fled without paying the money

If there is ico who does not pay what will you do?

Move on and find another ICO that's legit and with hopes that you won't be scammed again. Why not make a background check of their developers first? Look do some research of their profile if they're really legit including their website and most of all, their White Paper.

Altcoins have many scammers and fraudsters, you need to be cautious, that's why its recommended that you look into ICO's via whitepaper viewing and website browsing to make sure it's legit.

The question is what if they will get all ethereum then escape.
They will give you token with smart contract but if their token is just a shit?

There is good and bad.

I really do beleive that 99% of ICO's have good intentions.

Bad planning makes them fail - nothing else.
If there is ico scam, where can I report it? Will there be any special action?
no one can do anything if there is a proven ICO scam. we can only lament our own careless acts. that way we will learn more by learning from our own mistakes. we can not report them to the police because it's a very silly act.

Well you would lose the money you sent. That's why you have to be very careful doing your research before you actually decide to invest...

There is nothing much you could do if you get scammed by an ICO but just move on.

The thing is when they are gone, you cannot do anything even the management here. They could only remind us and provide tips for us on how to prevent such event. Base on experience and on my readings related to this topic, it mostly happened when they fail to reach their target. The point is they have the power and freedom to do so but you also have the power and freedom to determine if such event could happen thus, preventing to be lied. The key is to be observant and not be the type of person that just joined and follow rules and wait.

Unfortunately with this kind of open environment, anyone could be a developer without any legal consequences

I hope there will be some legal contract or something, a contract between Developer Team and Bitcointalk management to have an agreement before posting anything here, to make sure everything is in place

We can't do anything this is why we should only invest in ICOs that have some trusted person in middle as escrow. If devs will not came up with what they have promised during ICO, escrow can delay release of the ICO funds to developer team.

This thread means something to me because the very first ICO I joined is Tangerine Exchange by Mandarin. The ICO started from August to September and until now their tokens (TNG) still not exist in any exchange. So, what else we would think about it? Though we wasted time for the ICO and hoping their success but we receive nothing but tokens that are absolutely useless.
Yes, some ICOs lie.

what if a business is a lie? what if you go to e.g. ebay and buy something but it never arrives? do your research and look at the whole picture and then make a choice, if you do not do research then you are taking a risk!
