The best we can do here is judge based on known and observable facts:
- Neucon pump marketing: Storming many forums, posting only happy events, buttering up the project by promising easy free coins
- Bold claims without backup: Whitepaper, marketing, deadlines
- Not answering displeasing questions in general
- Not answering technical questions or strategical questions with a certain depth
- Engaging an army of sockpuppets
- Banning unpleasent users and calling critics trolls

That's my current perception of Neucon and team and it's gonna take a lot of work to change that.

PS: I don't know if they are scammers, but the behavior makes me believe that the possibility of them being is way more likely than not. Maybe it's all just way over their heads and they don't have the balls to admit it. Who knows for sure, but in the meantime I would highly advise everybody to stay away from Paycon.

no one knows if it will sink or swim but you can keep an eye out for a few indicators:
-What has been the general reception of the crypto community? Not just the Bitcoin one, but also of other major coins such as Doge, Peercoin, Dash and so on.
-Have the set targets been met so far??
-Has the coin secured any significant partnerships?
-Over a year in development and 25 days left to launch, what has been the achievements so far?
-Has the team been transparent and open to criticism in their forum? Or was there censorship?
-Beta is open. Has any impartial tester expressed awe or found any true innovations?
-Does the coin exhibit typical signs of a Pump n Dump??
