hello:) seen quite a few comments down there. The advice given is great.
Look at the soft/low caps, WP, a technology side and an advisors' parts of the project. They are the signs the project is not a scam!
just had bad experience in trapping myself in one of them lately. the one's called Vechain. The ICO is over, but theres still no working blockchain in place, and at GitHub theres also nothing. They basically look like a scam. Now I've switched to VLB one. The guys looking promising to me as their team is advised by IBM and QIWI, the soft/hard caps are great as well as their WP. no doubt, there are much more examples out there, just shared mine,
i can add that the team is also very important, not just advisors. they shoulde be quite experienced and have a deep understanding of the market. VLB, the project you've mentioned, is a really good example. one of its founders, Oskar Hartman is in charge of such successful projects as CarFix and CarPrice, which're already established and working.
