All because of the sharp jump in the price of bitcoin. There was a lot of noise around the crypto. And of course, scammers have found ways to easily deceive people who don’t understand, but they want quick profits.

Owing to the growth of the crypto space as of 2017 ICOs gained massive attention thus fraudulent individuals saw it as an opportunity to scam investors. Therefore with that growth and as well hype, throughout last year ICOs dealt mercilessly with investors. But now we have learnt the hard way thereby knowing how to protect ourselves.
People didn't still learn on past experiences with ICO because look at on the current IEO,it might have a different system way of acquiring or supporting projects

but it isn't really that different with fraud projects in the years past.They don't deliver something new IEO or ICO,if you aren't aware or careful enough you would still lose money.

In early days the ICO market was very popular many good projects came from the icos some of them at this moment some best project available. So ICOs was successful and that's why money came to this market. And whenever money comes scammers also scams. This ICOs has no regulatory no security everything was going on based on some digital information. So they made promises investors believed and then they took the money disappeared. And when people see that scamming people is easier than making a project they start to do that that's it .

Because this industry has quickly gone up, and as it usually happens, while everything grows and develops, someone earns honestly, and someone deceives people, because at such moments there is a very large user attachment.

The decentralized aspect of crypto made it a platform for the good, the bad and the ugly to ply their trade.if you are a keen follower of this revolution, you will understand that the first instruction offered to any cryptocurrency novice is to Do your own research about any project you want to invest on. that saying, it means you are on your own.

don't just venture anything you see on ICO Sites. Many are scam

Scammers use the leak of the systems, the psychology of the free money hunters. Social engineering tricks are commonly used by the social media platform scammers. Scam projects can easily be exploited by the experienced, professional investors who have seen thousand times of same broken promises on the project whtiepaper.No concrete reason why they have chosen this way of making money. Dishonest people have no nationality, no special limits, no sense of duty and more.

There is no exact reason because a scammer always wants to scam people's money! It is the bad people's nature! The crypto market has many noobs and non-reader users who don't read things and easily get involved in a scam project! So, some smart scammer came out with a good looking website and some team member and then they scam people's money! But people are very smart now and that's why there are very few scams ICO project at this moment and ICO market is almost dying!

I saw since last year lot of ICO's was scammed and project not true. So this situation ICO investor's are not come to cryptocurrency market. Why that project scammed please info anyone??


in any business or industry there will always be scammers who exploit someone's ignorance and lack of experience such as new investors, for example.
I think this will be everywhere without exception. there are many ico projects that scam in 2017 until now, I think this is one of them which makes a sense of lack of trust and the collapse of the crypto market.
so we will really need regulation

Because people see the explosion of crypto in late 2017. Many ico created to take away the money that investors entered. They see that many people will join their ico and they will play tricks on people's greed

Scammers always come at any time, this is what makes the market red, I'm sure when they get crypto they immediately sell to fiat so that the price drops.
Of course that would be their practice because they would not keep it in an exchange, They convert it immediately to fiat and leave the market, although some of these scammers are still among those making investment, some of them still end up being the whales too with the amount of money they have scammed from people.

ICO market has already been polluted, so I think the most focus of people now, especially investors is on IEO projects, at least we still have some faith in IEO projects based on the judgment of the reputable companies that carried out the project for the public to buy into.

Well i think is also the fault of too much investors who invest on most if ICOs, and also the fault of scammers who make ICOs, but now i hope with IEOs will not be so much scams, and i hope investors will make profit.

Since ICO has not trusted anymore the new is the IEO and we can say that IEO is legit because it is already on good exchangers so why we should afraid to invest?we must try to gain  trust now to recover losses on the past so try the OEO investments and dont forget to look at yanu.io ieo.

Don't worry it will one day cease, because IEO is going to replace this ICO crowdfunding, if there is no regulation happening we shall soon see the demise of ICO in cryptocurrency, because this is the one thing that stopped new people coming in, to cryptocurrency.
Yes, you are right, IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is much more attractive for investors than ICO. IEO is launched on the exchange itself and quite quickly reaches HardCap. The STO (Security Token Offering) concept is also interesting, it is safer for investors.

In this world I believe that where money flows in easily will become a target from bad eyes ,this is where scammers comes in ,since 2017 last bullrun ICO has became a target  but alas very soon IEO will eradicate all these present issues
I hope that IEO will totally remove those scammers here in cryptocurrencies. As we saw the year 2017, bitcoin hit an all-time high not knowing that scammers have a lot of investors who actually scammed by them. They take advantage of the market and use it to scam a lot of big investors at that time.
IEO will not completely eliminate the scam in the ico space, there is already a IEO exit scam happened in the chinese community, you should only invest in IEO when the exchange is trusted, people should be careful when investing, they need to do a research first before invest and they should keep in mind invest what you can afford to lose.

These fraudsters have been there for a long time. They use bad situations to get money without having to work. This also makes many investors stop investing. We must be more vigilant and careful in investing. Take your time to do research.
