Fake ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings)

What Is It

Fake ICOs involve scammers creating counterfeit tokens and soliciting investments from the public.

How It Works

Scammers create a website and whitepaper for a new cryptocurrency project, promoting it as a groundbreaking innovation. Investors buy the tokens with the expectation of future returns, but the project is a sham.

How to Avoid It

Research the Team: Look into the team members’ backgrounds and their previous projects.

Review the Whitepaper: Analyze the project’s whitepaper for feasibility and clarity.

Community Feedback: Join crypto forums and communities to get feedback on the project.
