In the face of too many scam tokens/projects,here is a philosophy that can be helpful, quotes below
"All tokens/ICO/projects are worthless until you can provide beyond reasonable doubt that they have value "
If you can do that for any project, chances are high you won't be a victim of scams.
What is your own philosophy?
Crypto is just like a game sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. If you are always playing safe you will gonna miss to invest good altcoins like bitcoin. Bitcoin is founded by unknown person, so if we go back to the past maybe you may not invest in bitcoin because of your philosophy. Crypto is so risky but dont be fear, if you lose accept it, if you win then congratulate yourself..
