It is very difficult to detect which is an original coin or a coin scam, but I will tell you tips for detecting coin scams and ICO scams.
There are several unique features of cryptocurrency such as decentralization, full transparency through general ledgers, and open source code that anyone can see. Fraud schemes and Ponzi do not have these general characteristics and are usually centralized and opaque.
The best way to avoid falling into various fraud and ponzi schemes is to identify common characteristics as listed above. Even more important is having the knowledge and understanding of how cryptocurrency works and the technology that underlies their business. In each investment there is certainly a Risk / Reward, but this risk can be minimized with sufficient information and research. Remember to always do your own research and not just hear from word of mouth.
Hopefully some of these methods can help you better understand how to invest properly in the Crypto world.
