onecoin - don't know much about this one but have seen it described as a "ponzi scheme." can anyone comment?

Onecoin is a well known scam using the ponzi scheme. Some of those that are accused to be scams include Skyway Project ICO. This project was not continued I think because of direct issues that proved to be fatal to the project itself. Monkey Hedge Fund ICO ended up scam-like as well. I guess there are also several others like this.

good to know, thanks.

golden fleece project smells dodgy - clearly a security, so not sure how they can advertise it as an ICO.

Any coin that that is an erc20 ethercoin that starts with the letter e and mimics another popular coins name.  You may get the airdrop for free but it does not mean it isn't a scam to the people who purchase the coin from the market.

OneCoin has been a documented MLM Ponzi scam for some months already. I think some of the people involved already got arrested: https://cointelegraph.com/news/onecoin-much-scam-18-seminar-organizers-arrested-3-mln-seized-in-onecoin-india-raids

The latest I've heard of is Ethconnect, they have a confirmed fake team and have since removed it from their site. https://ethconnect.net/

LOL! I've seen that on twitter that they've got a picture of someone a Japanese local and I forgot the name of that guy. And ETHconnect claims that it's part of their team but later on someone tweets about that and the real guy that's on the picture confirmed that he's not part of the ethconnect team and his picture was being used of these people that are going to scam people.

Wondering if we could keep a list going of known/verified scams.
Every exchange has flaws and advantages.
each person will also give a different assessment. fair enough to say this honestly.
I like Coss for having my own coins.
