Reviewing ICO projects is becoming a challenge because we have tens of them per week with their crowdsales starting. Some projects are making investors life harder because their websites ar not explaining how real they are and what they are really doing: using hype around cryptocurrency or trying to do the project.
The reasons why ICO teams are not trusted:
1. They have not links to social profiles of their members on facebook or linkedin.
2. There is no dedicated person that answers emails or in social media.
3. Communication is not personalized. You chat or email with a person with no name or a name you can not check is true.
4. You have to wait several days to get the answer from the team.
Basically, the project is all dependent to the development team. They were the ones who actually make things possible, thia only mean that the primary factor why a ptoject fails is the team. If there were no legit people behind the project, that would possibly be a scam. A good project has a well known personalities related to it. Before getting in to it, do check the background information about the team, look at the previous project they have work out. Therr actually good reviews about each project available in the internet, this would help you determine the future of your prospect ICO.
