ICO fraudulent projects do not advertise that they are fraudulent. They are trying in every way to prove that they are good and promising projects and deserve to invest in them. And they do it quite skillfully. That is why they manage to collect huge amounts of money. Very often fraudulent ICO projects cannot be distinguished from real ones. In addition, we do not have enough opportunities to check the ICO team and their project. In this regard, fraud in the activities of the ICO is flourishing.

Don't judge good ico project only depending by millions and billion raised. Because i know that some projects which raised 50 millions dollar but this is fraudulent scam project and investors lost money. And many project saying they raised millions dollar it just for marketing strategy i think. The answer is simple, it reason is because they don't know that it was a fraudulent ICO before investing, because know there is nobody that will know a scam ICO and still go ahead and invest in it.

It is not that easy to spot the fraudulent ICOs, specially for newbie members they can easily get trapped in these projects. Initially, these scam projects do spend a lot of money for advertisement, so it is very difficult to spot whether they are legit or scam.
The projects I know from 2017 and 2018 have now become scam, of course they succeed ICO and pay full for bounty. But after a period of operation, their project was dead. so ICO died in 2018As far as I heard, the ICO Scam raised over $ 1 billion. Why did people invest in these ICO?

At ICO stage no one really knows if the project is scam/fraud, there is no exact analysis on how to determine whether the project is legit or not. And given the fact that the project gives a lot of hype on the community. But there is one thing for sure, investors learned from these past mistakes and they will never fell in that trap again.
