Topic: What will you do with scam projects? - page 2. (Read 458 times)

You're absolutely right. Also I want to ask if there are any sites or topics where we can monitor that scammers? That might turn our lifes 1000% easily.

Here are some tips: Carefully read the whitepaper Whitepaper on ICO provides an understanding of the project team, goals, the concept of development, the introduction of tokens, the timing of listing tokens on crypto-exchange exchanges and similar technical details that may be of interest to potential investors.  So take your time, read the document (including the small font) and make sure that you can explain the essence of the startup in detail to someone else.  However, keep in mind that fraudulent ICOs can also have a whitepaper, so this feature is not definitive in relation to legitimacy.  Explore the website and accounts in social networks. This tip is obvious, but it says a lot about the possible alarm signals.  The ICO website should not be completely first-class, but must use a valid SSL certificate (the URL starts with HTTPS).  In addition, a reliable start-up must have a social networking manager who distributes information about the ICO and interacts with the online community.  Contact this person, ask a few questions and evaluate how responsive and professional they are.  Look for support If ICO supports a reputable person in the area's blockbuster, this is definitely an advantage of the project.  However, this does not mean that all start-ups without known supporters are fraud.  Check the code audit Check that the project code has been checked for errors, malware, security loopholes and other weaknesses.  Make sure that the code audit was conducted by well-known security researchers.  Such a study can reveal important information about the seriousness of the intentions of ICO authors regarding their startup.

Like everyone said there is nothing much you can do after the fact except rant and rave or maybe kick yourself mentally. Before the fact yes, heed all the sage advice here, and most important, if you have learnt a lesson, learn it well, avoid repeating the same mistakes, have greater awareness and gratitude that the loss wasn't a monetary one.

Trying to stay away ). But sometime although we has been very careful but we still fell into scam projects, I think we only can accept that we lose that amount of money and try to earn another amount from other better projects. The amount of ICO projects are increasing day by day and the scam projects also increases as well so it's really hard to earn money by investing in ICO projects nowaday if you don't have much experience and knowledge.

There's no other way than to accept that it was a failure. I have been there. Worked for about 3 or 4 weeks then suddenly the campaign was facing negative issues. Gave negative thrust for participants who will not remove the campaign's signature. I was disappointed for it was my first time to join a signature campaign. Because of that I stopped joining campaigns and been inactive in the forum for a few months. But then I realized that is only one failed project and there's a lot more out there that will surely be successful.

honestly, there's nothing you can do about it but to look for another good project if they just left and leave you without pay. Charge it to experience and this time be wise and do some research when choosing a project before joining to avoid scammers and not to waste your effort.

As far as ICO's go, I've never participated in one that turned out to be a scam, because I always do my due diligence before investing in anything..

I have received a few airdrops that went quiet or were abandoned by the devs, by they weren't 'scams' as such.
No harm done, just a useless souvenir I got for free..

If something does turn out to be a scam, unfortunately in most cases, there's nothing you can do except move on and learn a lesson for next time.

What will i do if the project is scam? I will get mad of course I will quit and find another ICO that trustfull.

To date, none of my joined airdrops are suspected as scam since all of them are still on going their project for pre-sale or ico.
Can you please give some idea how to know those airdrops or bounties that will be turned to scam aside from not giving coins or sending coins to my ether wallet after pre sale.
If some of them will be lost after a couple of weeks then nothing to get..I would like to say, its charge to experience and try to think other which profitable.

I participated in a few airdrop scam and I dumped the tokens while the first hype wave because I dont prefer to hold scam. But also scam has potential to get hyped when the people start to buy blind again. Just have a look at Ethereum Cash

has become a risk when the bounty project that I follow to be a scam and not paid. I'm not too desperate, I can find another project that is better than before. so I have experience and can compare with other project.

so far i have not found the project scam (hopefully never).
if you finally find a project or airdrop scam, and get nothing after working for weeks, then what will we do? it seems we can not do anything. for that, it is important for us to study every project that we will follow before we really will participate.

I understand this is very disappointing, but the only best way is to forget about scum and don't waste time for them. You can create the theme about scum to help other people avoid this scum.

Once I encounter that kind of scams project almost 3 months advertising their campaign they are not making their start of the pre sale that's why I ask the manager if they still active then I ask a that I can't stay for long to those kind of campaign even the spreadsheet didn't update and most of the participants are asking if the campaign is alive or dead no one is answering then if that kind of campaign you will encounter you must better to leave you will just waste your time in advertising them.

Perhaps the tradove bounty thread is a fraud project.
They have two bounty thread, and the first prize in the first thread is over a week, but they don't pay any bounty, but for more than a month's signature and individual text, but only pay a bounty of the week.

I've been a lot of failed ICOs, airdrops are giving me no coins it tokens and some of the signature bounty campaigns were stopped and failed on reaching their hard capitals so in trying to move on and join another signature bounty campaigns. But before I moved on, I ensure that I'm joining a good bounty campaigns on order to not to waste my time
I got some shit coins but I cannot do anything about the them. They are just on my wallet but I can't do anything about them because they're do not hit Cryptocurrency exchanges.

Just ignore scam projects. 

I have not encountered such a project yet, of course, I participated in the ICO will not invest too much coins to prevent such a situation from happening. If so, maybe I will report a team of such projects, post a message here to warn other people not to participate in that project, and the lost coins will find ways to recover them. If not, they should only pay for lessons.

Actually we can't do anything if the projects scam us after we work so hard to promote them we just need to be cautious what coin we promote if many trusted member promote a coin then it has a big chance not to scam.

True-true! I participated in one bounty, which turned out to be scam. It's good that not for long - a couple of weeks. Unpleasant, but not deadly. Much more offensive if you participated in ICO.
