Weve a lot of projects now that ended in vain, even though in the beginning the project went smoothly but in the end it was a scam, we don't know whether it was deliberately done or the teams managing the project did not reach the target so a scam project was created.

since 2018-2019 almost thousands of projects have ended in fraud and many tokens have died or no further development.
but I think there must be other reasons why the project ended in fraud, other than project funds were not collected according to the specified targets or project funds were taken by the team.

I assume that the developer and prize manager work together and intentionally promote fraud projects for investors. sorry no offense!
I also see that it happening a lot now, many projects have sprung up and many have ended in fraud or tokens that to created dead in a short time. I think the reason the project ended with fraud is because market conditions that are still not stable have made the price of tokens on the market not match with ICO prices in a project and funds are difficult for to collect.

other than that another reason is that the team is not professional in developing a project and I also think so if developers and bounty managers work together to promote fraudulent projects because they want to get a lot of money from investors.

note: be careful before investing because everything has big risks and it depends on your decision.

In my opinion, the only thing behind the fraud project will be greediness to take all of the investor's money by giving a promising project to them, but in the middle of the time, they run away with the money. We see that is happening to many projects, and that makes the investor angry, sad, and they want to search who is the team behind the project. The scammers will only make the things worst, and people will not trust with the project again, and they are avoiding the new project, which has a good plan for the future.

But we cannot blame them as we know that each people have their reason to create the project and we don't know who will scam the people. But we can be careful to choose the right project by selecting one by one and read their whitepaper as a beginning. Then we can ask them if we have a question related to the project.

A project can fail without the fault of developers or any plan to scam people. There have been promising projects that failed basically due to poor conditions on the crypto market when the coin got listed on an exchange. Nevertheless, there are still many individuals who intentionally plan projects to scam investors of their funds.

Certainly, this fraudsters or scammers works deliberately from the beginning. They try to deceived everyone in the end, but at the early stage of the project, you won't notice a single thing because they know what they are doing. This can be seen in 2017, when the whole hype started, lots of project with the project of this and that and one day they are all gone with millions in their pocket. That is one sign as well, when there is no development from behind, they will just post something on github to show, entice investors and be gone when they have collected the money.

fraud project is already aimed at harming many parties. I think now we must look at the positive side if we have to be more selective in choosing the type of project. because I think fraud projects are usually organized to really only get a profit without thinking about the long term.

They only seek profit by making fake projects. after the funds were collected they disappeared and ignored the project.
this causes investor confidence to decline, so ICO does not gain trust.
maybe IEO is safer from fraud.

Many projects appear because they know there are still many people potentially scammed by offering some rewards and discounts from ICOs or IEOs. I am not surprised if there will be more and more fraud projects as long as they still can scam people. They don't need much money to do this, they just need to manipulate everything and make it in an interesting look.

A number of them didnt hit the softcap so they cannot continue. They should've give back the money from the address where it came from.
Another is if they hit the soft but just a little over it.
There is a reason to continue it but they will just do it to look legitimate and then exit in a few weeks without reason.

The leftovers are those who scam directly.

There's this one fact you're missing: we were in a bubble and you know what happens in bubbles? You will never know when it'll be ending so you keep on throwing money into it until one day you realize your investment is no more.
Secondly, yeah you're right- the term fraud refers to intentionally "scamming" someone so yeah, many "brainers" used the bubble as a way to make money by frauding. But jn all the bottom line is that, we were in a bubble then.

You see how difficult it's become of late for people to defraud oo others in crypto?....hehee...that's what I mean.

I have heard about some team on darknet who were preparing ico projects on demand. That is really scary, just imagine someone is paying for example 50k dollars and get back nice income for the rest of his life.

because all kind of cryptocurrency project will fraud or not is depends on their team member

This can only be attributed to greed. Greed plays an important role in the crimes people commit. The urge to want it all is often times the bane of most people. There is no difference here, people set up scam projects mostly with the intentions of ripping others off. This inherent trait isn't going anywhere any time soon and it will continue to be so as long as mankind lives.

I think at first, bounty managers will filter project that good or not. And they really help us to keep give us information about the project. And from what i see, some bounty managers are on bounty hunter's side or maybe investors when they see the project not really work well. Like they will stop the bounty and tell bounty participants what actually happen with the project. About investors, maybe 2017-2018 must already make us know how to make decision when found project to invest. If afraid, just make it simple, trade on old coins that already listed in market.

I think that every cryptocurrency project is easier and faster in raising funds, even though their goal is not to make their own projects big but they only use crypto funds to invest in other cryptocurrency.

Yes that's what's really happening, scammers have found their way in the Cryptocurrency, after the inception of ICO, nonregulation, and decentralization, scammers are easy to get in, if you have the money you can make 1000% profit by stagging an ICO and faking everything, because these scammers can hire people to develop his ICO from freelancer market like Fiverr.

The only positive thing is we are forced to educate ourselves so we can trace these fraud projects and protect our funds.

no one knows that the project will end up with fraud, but I think the main reason for the failure of the project is because the funds cannot reach the minimum stage like (softcup) on the other hand, the team's mistakes or the project advisors, they cannot manage the funds correctly, the advisers do not good at attracting investors while in the field. meanwhile the partner is a very important role in the project industry, because the greater the project partner, the investor will trust more with it.

Another major reason why some projects end up dead aside fraud by team is the issue of mismanagement of funds and poor vesting. By mismanagement of funds, I mean team members not using the right strategies to run the project when it comes to funds allocation and also channelling funds wrongly especially for promotions. For instance, a project which barely crossed softcap during token sale paid many top influencers for promotion videos. This requires a lot of money and after much spending, there will be little amount left for other vital developments and listing on exchanges.

I think the great majority of projects found themselves with a heap of money and little to no business experience.

Plus, with no development experience, many project underestimated the challenges they would face ahead, and were unprepared to deal with development roadblocks, legal challenges and expansion.

This lead even projects with good intentions towards failure.

N.B. there were sh*t loads of outright scams too.

A lot of the projects being with good intentions but there isn't enough users for the price to rise. Even the "legit projects" have fallen over 80 percent in price including bitcoin.  Just goes to show how risky crypto investments are compared to stocks.

There is no perfect definition for the term fraud project, because some projects are developed intentionally to scam the common people and run away. Same time there are projects that came with something unique, meanwhile due to the lack of funding and other issue gets lagging in development and some gets stopped. This way there are projects that go as a fraud one. These days people find it with ease the scam projects and going through the scam accusations section we can understand the projects which are scam and stay away.

It's not. but i will not put the manager as a party that must be blamed consider about the scammer will always use the fake identity and try to keep everything being private and that makes the manager feels so difficult to validate is that a trusted project or a scam project. As far as i know, a scammer can make a lot of scam projects.
Sometimes the manager is not even getting paid and to create an accusation to the manager to work together with the scammer is not a good idea.

Do you mean the bounty manager? If so, then this is not always the case. A couple of times I came across the fact that the bounty manager stopped the bounty campaign ahead of schedule and announced fraud. Often the manager does not know about the intentions of the team.

The haircut of gullible investors has already turned into a conveyor of crypto-startups for this. And also, sometimes it seems that the project is created with a real idea, but then all or part of the team change their goals and act not in the best way for investors.

 I dont agree on you that team is fraudulent, there are many very good projects which are working hard, developing their products and have products. The real problem with those legit projects is that in reality , the token is not needed, they dont need the token to make the product work. The token was needed to get the funds needed for their platform, the regular token model does not work. Project has to pay dividends , that would work BUT here is a huge drawback, dividends mean SEC and other law enforcement.

It's not a big deal to realize fraudulent crypto fundraising projects are a organized crime. There are a number of people and groups that repeatedly come up with new projects just to take away the money of gullible investors. They are so used to it that the only thing that stops them creating new one is creating the logo. They even copy most of the infographics and text.
Yes, right. I also often pay attention to such projects and most of them copy back the old project roadmap and change it back to make it look real. and most new users are people who are easily fooled by projects like that.

Fraudulent project managers have just 1 aim and the aim is to scam people of their money and go to Island and enjoy it, and when it's exhausted they create another scam project. That is only what they are good at.  
There are really good projects but they can't call capital because the market no longer believes in ICO, they have to let the project die.
