We all are well aware of ICO
frauds.
I use the strategy to start with a whitepaper, see team member details and the roadmap.
What strategy you adopt to make sure the ICO is not a scam/fraud?
Honestly, it is really difficult to distinguish whether an ICO is a scam or not. Even if you check the white paper, or even check the team's profile, some ICOs make excuses to avoid delivering their project after gathering funds.
