If you want to scam people, best way to do it is by hiding your identity. Therefore you should never trust a project that does not display it’s team members, company information nor physical address. No matter how good the project seems, there is a reason why they are hiding their identity.

This isnt always the case, I have always felt suspicious of ICOs when they link to the team members linkedin profile. Well, this may be legit in many cases as they want to build a positive trust by showing off the team. But, I also have seen people buying 20-25 old linkedin accounts through this forum.
It's hard to know cause at the moment there are a lot of scam ICOs use fake identity for dev team member or they use identity of other famous people to make up for their project Smiley).
It's really hard to detect which projectt is scam at the moment IMO Smiley.
