ICOs are a great way to invest your money and earn returns on your investment. However, there are many scam ICOs in the market. How do you distinguish between a legitimate ICO token and a scam ICO?

This is how you can go about it;

1) The first thing you need to do is to find out if the company behind the ICO has real people or just a name. You can do this by visiting the website of the company and checking their “about us” page. Also, check out their linkedin pages to see if they have real people behind them. If you fail to find any information about these people, then there is a good chance that they are not real people and therefore could be a scam.

2) Check out the white paper of the company. A legitimate company will have a white paper that explains everything about the project. If there is no white paper, then it means that the developers of the blockchain platform have not done their due diligence which means that they are only interested in getting your hard earned money and nothing more.

3) The third step is to ask yourself whether the project makes sense to you or not. There are certain projects that don’t make much sense when you read through their data.
