It really is hard to believe that there are some ICOs who are intended to scam people. There are all hypocrits and rely on the weakness of people especially those who are new to bitcoin. So sad.
yes that's the reality, for that we have to intelligently choose ICO altcoin, can be seen from the background of the team, roadmap, and review of major ICO sites.
Good luck
Proper review and background checking of the ICO sites is a good way perhaps but others are even having good websites, great platforms and even good employees under their name but still turns out to be fake or fraud.
