There are good people and there are bad people everywhere including cryptocommunity! This sort of things will happen again and again! In matter of time though, the whole issue will be forgotten(if not forgotten already) and the world moves on!

People can be easy manipulated by others. If you are investing your savings in a totally new field, of course, you are very suspicious.
I don't know if it is true that people blackmail others for making money using this way, but surely there are many determined to do so.
The solution is obvious, if someone wants to invest he has to make his own research or take some advice from a specialist.
We never follow the opinion of people we don't know and don't trust.

Stumbled across this news: http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/12/08/ico-scammers-new-cybercriminal-breed/
The thing is someone threatened to give a bad review on ICO if they refuse to pay him for a good review. Well, they refused, and the guy started to call them a scam. I'm pretty sure they are not. But anyway, why would anyone do such a thing? Waste their time to do bad to others? I mean his time could be used better than that.
Because they want to get money in an easy way, they are hungry to have it. By doing bad deeds they can earn without exerting effort. We have different personalities if there are good then there are also bad people. Scammers are everywhere and what we can do is be careful to be a victim.

Unfortunately this is the truth, there are many people out there that are bad people and while most people of the world are good, there is a minority that is bad and that have a huge effect on the world since they do not care about anything else but themselves, so it is not surprising that people like them will do anything to get their hands in the money of some other people.

There are people who want to take advantage of the popularity of bitcoin, they will victimize newbie who wants to make instant return.
I see there are HYIP or ponzi all over so be careful when investing, always check and study well the assets you are investing, I think it's better to join
in ICO or learn how trade.
Since Bitcoin is needed an extra work to make people well-understand the technology, Those people who have a better understanding of the technology exploit the newbies who lack understanding the technology. Actually, There is plenty a guide for newbie to dodge the scam, but I think it does not influence at all.

I think someone is not able to follow the work in cryptocurrency. the person would only want a very easy salary and do not want to work hard. the perpetrator feels earning money by cheating is the best because they think the participants in cryptocurrency are very easy to earn money.

People do that all the time, even with people such as amazon sellers, is called blackmailing. On this business community recognition is the key, an ICO tagged as scam will have a very hard time recovering and what an ICO needs is to grow so... People all the time wants money also

Scamming is the most easiest and the most instant way to get money from people. People will do everything in the name of money even in the most unacceptable way. Its just that there were large number of people who are not well educated about this things which also leads to big number of scammer.

By means of catchy promises and good looking website, people will have their interest on it. The same way scammer desperately need money, also desperate investor put tge risk on it without fully knowing it.

If that person bought a share from that ICO and doesn't give him/her the share then its a scam. Let's be honest as some of the ICO were just there to get funds from investors then there's a possibility that they will not make it to any exchangers so that's a scam. That is why it is important to research about an ICO first before buying a token from them.

Some people prefer to get profits in much easier way than to work hard for it, of course it is easier to get money through scamming, more profits in an easy way. They only think about earning money and do not have any goals. Those people are immoral and greed is good for them. They can scam because once they did that to us, we can not do a thing to change what happened. Scamming is naturally happening with real life currency, what more in digital world, they can also do that here.

You have a point on that, most people nowadays are rampant doing such bad intentions like making scams websites. The main reason of this is to have an easy money, which could provide their daily needs. Even they already know what they are doing , they just continue to do it because there are also some users that are careless on there different account which by giving easily their private informations like the private key that they have. Those scammers is not easy to capture because of their code names and having a lots of identity. The best thing to do ,is to assure to the users that their private key or password should be in the safe place all the time and be observant all the time by entering the website which might have a possibility that it is a scam site or not.

Such a person may not have a job and they just do something stupid. I we are in all places there must be an indicator of trust, when only someone who says a scam and they also do not have a belief from others then it is not enough effect. To say a scam project should certainly have many reviews, for me only a few people will not be too influential. As long as the project has good targets and goals then I do not think it will affect much of people's thinking. Everything will go according to the early indicators, when a project does not have a prospect then I think everyone can do the analysis and can decide their choice.

For a quick and easy bucks of course, ICOs is the easiest way to collect money from investor and many bad people out there use ICOs to scam people. It will bring a negative thing into ICOs though, but i'm sure people and investor are smart nowdays. They will not invest on fake/scam project.
This is why many people that might be interested in investing in icos in the past now are not going to invest in them at all, also many icos have now increased requirements like the need to prove who you are and things like that so if I was not that interested in icos before, my interest has gotten even lower because if there is someone that needs to identify himself is the creator of the ico.

If ICO offered to pay for good review then they have to pay because the crypto currency influencer or article reviewers take time to grow their community and audience even its required more effort . If some body offered for writing review and not paying for the effort then they deserve for bad review . they should pay wages for labor

Easy money is always be the easy choice by others whom who don't have remorse of doing the crime. I just wish these scammers can be caught and be legally put behind bars as payment of the crime they committed.

People have different mindset and strategy to survive, for us not right but for them maybe this is the right thing they must do. Besides that, ICO is " collect money " and I believe most people ( not all ) will do something not right to get part of ICO. As investor/ trader/ bounty hunters/ customers I suggest not do that, keep on our track to get money with right way. I'll waste my time to fix my strategy to get profit, it's worth and meaning something for me and my family.

If you do investing on ICO you have to do a brief research on the project. You will get the profit according to the coin goes bigger in the chart. That would be possible if the project potential to survive in long time.
Most of the scammy ICO will have high capital investment of the project. Then they will scam that they have not achieved the expected growth and reduce the share of the promoters and investors.
Really many people today are taking advantage of the non-regulation of the icos to apply several scams by the internet, whether by false projects as and what else is happening like this, a person forging a false identity so can steal a company.

If we had ICOS regulations we would have a lot more transparency and security for investors, buyers and also bounty hunters and this would prevent many frauds that are on the market today.
