2. Anonymous project.

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.

But they could hide their identity and act as someone else.
Buying and selling identities is common.
Then it's hard to find out who really stands behind the project.

you can request for other means of identity if other means of communication is not provided. You can contact through others social media identity and check the record or track records and friends.
