Fake project is really frustrating if you're one of the victim especially for investors and bounty hunters.
I had read an interesting way to make sure the project is real. You can identify the project is fake by it's address of the company who is running IEO/ICO. Fake project would be indentify with this way because they put fake location. You can check it with google maps to verify if it's real.
So how do you indentify if the project is fake?
This is indeed a good way to verify the guenuity of a project as google map and other onlime map platform has made it easy to check any location almost everywhere in the world. checking out about the team is also sure way to verify a project because often atimes, fake project do use names of people who doesn't exist at all and if the linkedin profile of the teams are new, that's also a sign they might be scam
