Most of these types of frauds had been going on for quite some time even before the advent of ICO's that is why we need to raise more awareness on this things to prevent people from getting victimized over and over again!
Fortunately, I think the cryptosphere is now getting more matured and most of its members are now well aware of this kinds of scam and should be equipped with necessary knowledge to detect it and avoid it accordingly not like before when mostly were victimized due to their naivety!
I believe so too, and it is because investors are being very careful now that even the good projects are still not getting to meet up with their hardcap again, many investors are always very skeptical now in putting their money into a project that they are not very sure of.
I thought that it would be difficult for people to really make research, but people are making research very well now before they commit their money now into the ICO market. I know that the time will come that all these scam project will be very discouraged about releasing any project too because they will not see anyone to buy into their idea, while hunters too are being picky about project before they project it to the entire world.
So, I think that we are getting there in this aspect of selecting a project very well before investing in them.
