Bitcoin Forum

Like any get-rich-quick scheme, bitcoin scams thrive on the gullibility of its victims. Just because it's a digital currency doesn't mean you can acquire wealth quickly.

Of course there are always people who will take advantage of people that are new to this industry and do not know about how things works around here. This is natural not just in this industry but in all sorts of industries here in the world. The only defense people can have from these things is proper knowledge. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't trust to anybody even your relatives and be sure to your decisions especially sending your personal data.

Basically as a user you should be responsible on your own. Be carefull accessing site and don't be hooked on supicious offers.

do not trust any investment before you research and understand clearly about the investment. do not be shy or lazy to always ask and discuss in this forum or your community.

Obviously, you need to follow simple security rules about which everywhere and everywhere write. I have already honestly become annoyed, because I understand everything from the first time, and apparently does not reach others at all.

I don't give my private keys to others and keep it safe also making sure that the website I entered is not a phishing site by bookmarking legitimate website. You could even land on a phishing site by mistyping a URL (web address).

Juts one thing is important, dont be dumb. Never trust a quick rich scheme, there no way something like that will work in long term. There HYIP there lending platform, most of them just ponzi scheme and end up as a scam. Ant there another scam, you can get phised hacked or got that kind of viruses that can stole your data. So be safe, and never click on random link in website or your spam box at email. Also always bookmark important site and use 2fa as aditional security.

Dont trust any platform that promising you big profit in matter of month even week, that kind of thing cant work in real word. Just participate in some ICO if you want to make some money. Becarefull though not all ICO is "safe" some of them or i can say almost all of them do fake project.

always becareful and do a deep research before invest in any project of cryptocurrency
so, not think only about the profit, but the risk too,,

You are right in a way that bitcoin and crypto currencies are not get rich quick schemes, but you cannot call them a scam in anyway, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are a reality and an out of the box futuristic solution for global payments and automation of processes.

We should protect our individual belonging to everyone like private keys of different wallets, don't ever get to a phishing site. we should always be alert on all decisions making

This sounds very shocking. Almost all ICOs are fake projects, but this is the current situation of ICO. I would rather hold BTC or ETH. this is safe investment.

it's very difficult if you have to get away from scammers, because now there are so many scammers. so we should be more careful in choosing a project if you want to follow bounty and ICO.
if want to get rich quick, we also have to work hard and have a strong principle. instead of deceiving others like the scammers.

Use your common sense.

If something is too good to be true... well it is :)
Nobody will give you 10ETH back when you send 1 ETH to XXX address. Nobody will give you anything for free. And so on.

Of course not.  :) Quickly get rich only in the lottery and then only in theory  ;D

Well you can't really protect yourselves from scammers 100% because all the scammers are now improving actually you can't tell that the project is scam because of the well presentation, perfect detail of whitepapers, complete infos of the team, etc. The only thing you can do to avoid them is to do a research, read articles, forums and explore more about the scammers and investments topic in order to increase the capacity of your knowledge and tell whether a project is a scam or legit.

However there are some cases even though the project/ICO's meets your criteria but ended up being scammed. Well that's your risk in investing it's either you'll earl or learn.

Here are some tips i can give to you in order to protect yourself from a scammers:
• Don't trust anybody
• When doing transactions always use ESCROW. Use a reputable escrow in doing transactions because sometimes the escrow itself is the scam
• Don't invest if you don't study the project well or you don't have the guts to lose your money.
• Don't trust newbies (They don't have enough reputation and trust in the forum)
• Make your transactions transparent. (Ex. Posting transaction address, etc.)
• Study. Knowledge will be your shield from scammers.

first of all I don't store the data on the personal computer, I have all on stores, secondly don't pass and the more so I download nothing from references which come to me to mail or to social networks, there where there are two factorial protection, at once put it, I am not connected to free wifi, and I don't take participation in Airdrop.

Bitcoin is a currency, so it should vulnerable to being used to leverage money from investors. Like most people say that Bitcoin is a scam, then they made it wrong. Bitcoin is used to scam people and not Bitcoin as scam.

Minimum safety requirements must be observed. Do not transfer your personal keys, passwords, addresses given to third parties. You must rely on your intuition, try to believe only yourself.

Well I think we cant protect ourselves from scammers because they can do anything just to hack our account. They all know about the informations needed just to hack anyones account. We cant do anything but we can decrease the possibility of being hacked like we should be wise enough in entertaining a person we didnt know yet and we should think wisely before we do such action inorder for us not to regrets the action we made.

To protect your accounts and transactions to the scammers who just want to have money on the easy way is do not give you personal informations and do not believe on the fake advertisements you see in the internet.

The best way to protect is education and getting experience, so you will have knowledge and intuition to figure out the scam.

I think, people who trapped in scam will have best answer for this question and I'm one of them ;D! Actually, our security is in our hand, if you trust someone in this Crypto world then big lose is waiting for you. I just want to suggest you one thing, never ever share your personal data with someone and never trust on quick rich scheme, because these are the number one scammer's. You will get success with hardwork and hardwork always comes in long-term not in quick-terms.

Well, there are no ultimate rules, I think everyone should think with their own brain and try to avoid scams. But I can give a few examples which should already be self-explanatory. If you are being asked for your private key instead of your public key, do not give it to anyone. Unless it is a case where you for instance want to access your MEW account, where you need to put in your private key. But recently, users were phished, because they were not careful, so be on alert even for this. Then, avoid suspicious links and don't click on any suspicious files in your email. You can easily attract malware or keyloggers on your machine doing that (I suggest some anti-malware with combination of antivirus installed). Also, I notice a lot of scammers on Telegram channels. If you are an ICO investor or bounty hunter, do not respond to them, because no admin will ever contact you and ask you for your assets. But as I said, if the thing looks suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is.

To prevent scamming of coin we have to be clever in doing transactions because they can quickly determine the process. Everybody has differrent personality we don't know if its trusting so better to keep secured for our own sake.Protect our coin and update as always, transaction is too risky and confidential for the users.

Since digital currency is mainstream right now, we can't deny that there are a group of people who abuse it just to scam other people. The only way to protect ourselves from a scammer is to do a background research on the company or people that we are dealing with. We should be careful on the "too good to be true" offers because there is no shortcut to success.

Not even satoshi as the inventor of bitcoin and blockchain saying that bitcoin is a tool to gain wealth quickly, it's just the same ordinary currency but with additional advantage as for example, a tool to move wealth instantly to another people without any limitation or restriction, but using bitcoin means youre responsible of your own money, you need to take care your money by yourself and there's plenty ways to do this had already discussed here, one of them is using hardware wallet.

If you see a person or a group of people offering you a too good to be true, you know what does it means. Do some research before engaging in any investment platform because this might risky and you will loss lots of money from it. I have seen plenty of people scammed by an MLM ( multi-level marketing) scheme, wherein you need to invite people and encourage them to invest in their scheme. This is not how bitcoin or other digital currency works, BTC is not a scam, it is being used as a tool by abusive people to scam other people.

I think there many way we can protect ourselves from scammer, we can protect ourselves from scammer by not been greedy and also we should be more careful with telegram channel and group.

Scammers are coming up with new ideas every day. I personally think that greed is the cause for someone to fall for scam. Always be careful and think about any good deals you see before accepting it.

In any case, Bitcointalk is a good place to learn about scams. Members of this forum will post about their experience of being scammed and also new types of scams.

I am not easy to trust with others and always make sure who the identity of the person and whether they are true part of a team, I also always make bookmarks some sites I frequent

if it is from scammers that they do not give their keys to anyone, all transactions and operations with crypto currency are safe

This you can watch in everything !!! Of course, when a newcomer arrives and does not want to read and study anything, he starts trustingly telling someone what to say, the result will be that the scammers will do their thing, it's not only here

As for me, I believe that scammers are just around us and they're just waitibg for their next victim so we must get rid of them by securing our private keys and by monitoring our earnings. Also, we must avoid having any contact or conversation with suspicious people.

What I've learned from the Balina's wallets hack is that you shouldn't store your keys in a cloud. Though it's very convenient that you can access your wallets from anywhere from any device, but the risk is too high. Also it's important to use 2AF both for the main and reserve mailboxes and use the most possible complex passwords.

Do not believe anyone/anything that promising something looks too good to be true. That's how you can avoid scammers. Be aware of phishing sites and unofficial accounts. Always give a second look before clicking any links. Never share secret information with anyone.

As mentioned above, the best thing you can do is to understand what you are doing. In addition, you always need to see what is written on this forum about new ways of hacking, in the pinned topic.
Also I do:
For the account on the forum - a separate email address.
For bounty - a separate email address.
Do not open a email with an unknown email address.
Do not click on the links in the email, twitter, fb... without research.
Use only a separate computer for crypto.
Do not talk about the crypto income in real life.
Visit only trusted resources and always control it.

There are precautions for save, transactions, exchanging fiat-crypto, crypto-fiat. But this is another big theme.

It is difficult to avoid the scammers in this cryptocurrency world. Usually what I do is search for information first before doing anything in the world of crypto currency. Or can do research by monitoring the progress of any ICO or project that I follow.

I try analyze deeply a project before investing. I do not trust anyone and try to examine all and of course I invest a part of my savings which I may lose

your private key should be keep safe
you must read and study a project well before you do
when i start bitcoin i think is a easy to make money so quickly but i later realised it will take a time to have a knowledge of doing bitcoin someone's need time don't rush into the hand of scammer

Scammers come in all different forms not just those that try and get you to join fake ICOs. They trick you into sending coins into a different wallet, sell you something but don't deliver, even bounty hunters get scammed by changing payment or even no payment. This is crypto - be wary of everyone!

A relative discussion will depend on what we mean by coup and the individual has his beliefs and visions about a coup, sometimes a blow to me means nothing to another individual. Big investors of crypto always mentions: "You are responsible for your actions and interests in the crypto, do not trust anyone, not even me." Taking risks is part of being an investor and complaining is cowardice.

Absolutely, in this field there is a facts that we can able to have a financial freedom because of it but this is not an easy money because we can put our time and effort to be a successful here and to have all that we wanted to have in our life but the worst thing is there are foolish people that have no doubt to do scamming and foolish things to others just to save their own wealth stability in life. I think the best thing that we can do to avoid to those people is we need to be much aware and keep to ourselves that we do not easily trust other people specially if we don't know them better. Just remember that there are some people that they do anything just for the spirit of money so we need to be careful.

we need to analyze not only basis , but nowdays project comes with real profile and everything real . only the project and idea they are working upon is totally rubbish .
so we need to check that whether blockchain tech is really required for that project or not .

Do not trust anyone here in crypto world.
Do your own research about certain projects before investing.
Be aware of those greedy leaders in an ico.

its simply do not grab the offer's immediately need to know the reputation of the project or what the offer came from their, do not invest a lot of money without knowing the legality of this offer.

Always triple double check .dont jump and rush and always research first.Ask question in telegram or on bitcointtalk forum.You will save a lot of money and be stress out

To minimize being scammed for me, you should not believe in any quick rich, fast big profit or whatever promising thoughts you read. The ads always gives you what you ideally think for. Just be in mind that mostly success is gained through hardwork and takes time to achieve. Its really good feeling to achieve something worth of wait and patient

The best way to protect ourselves from Scammers is educate ourselves. Do your part as an investor do a lot of research about the team, about the product. Ask some suggestions, looks for some reviews. It's better to waste your time to a true and legit project than to waste your time to a scam project.

The most easiest way to protect yourself from scammers is read everything first about the project, ask the admins on where to invest. I am sure that every project has a telegram or bitcointalk thread. They are always saying that admins don't message you first or you can invest in their website. Do not send ETH, BTC or any currency directly via personal message. Just don't grab those sugar coated words by scammers who will send direct message to you. This way you can avoid scammers.

You can protect from scammers very easy. Don't trust anyone in crypto, don't even read their private messages. If something is too good to be true it is a scam. Read about bitconnect, everyone knew it is a scam but people still invested!

Scammers will always be active so we should have extra careful to avoid this illegal doings. You shoud have enough knowledge on this system to avoid easily fooled by anyone. And also do not give your full trust to any investment and do not give you private information. Lastly be aare on clicking link or opening sites and documents that are malicious.

By offering extraordinary income, the layman will easily attract and easily be trusted as a rich man as soon as possible, fraud often makes use of such a person, it is very easy for him to cheat by having a very convincing and elegant image, never more trust in others or with a platform on behalf of cryptocurrency, or it's ICO or any other project, investing your money with a sure-defined platform, do not get your money lost in vain.

Use brave browser to detect phising site. Download google authenticator and set your gmail, search how to set up it. And one thing very important dont click link that yo sent by anonymous person such link from email..
Well dont easiky trust people in online , via direct transaction  if you have to buy or sell use an escrow to be the middle man  who hold the paynent. Dont send money first  that very risky

Never trust anyone. Avoid using your private keys. For it is difficult to avoid the scammers in this cryptocurrency world. Usually what I do is search for information first before doing anything in the world of crypto currency. Or can do research by monitoring the progress of any ICO or project that I follow.

1. Buy a separate laptop for cryptocurrency and exchange.  2. Use complex non-repeating passwords for wallets 3. Do not store passwords on the computer 5. Go to exchanges and wallets only from saved personal links 6. Purchase a hardware wallet.

The best protection is your privacy. Keep your passwords and codes to yourself. If possible, don't disclose your crypto investments to anyone especially those you call close friends. Who knows, they might actually be d news to rob you. I use websites and cookies that am sure are secure enough.

Yes, therefore you need to avoid

1. free offers, cheap offers, and don't reveal your keys to anyone,

Stay safe, and ensure to bookmark every exchange website on your phone or pc

ensure to protect yourself from links sent to your email and also remain steadfast

Now I have installed the metamask.io application for the security of my transactions and my wallet.

Yes, you are right but I think some people fall for it thinking everything is very easy. Don't be a victim, crypto can help you gain money but don't be greedy because it will result in your loss. Anything you think it is fishy then don't engage, investigate by doing research.

You could protect your self from scammer where you can start it from some thing small where there are nothing transaction like ponzi. you have choose right ico to participated and know is good or not, you have see the vision and mision of this project ico where you could take more profit there. Just have to do to protect ourself from scammer and ico was fake all of investors. You have check by yourself first and never listen to the other.

this is a potential risk so potential in the case of a scam. yes, some ico is very potential on scam element. it's hard to tell the difference with a really good ico for now. sometimes experienced managers participated fooled. so, in essence we should be more vigilant and always make research in advance in any speculation in crypto

Sure and what we should do is be especially careful, it's Internet World. We do not know who and what kind of person we can talk about here. And of course, it's important to be sure not to believe fast on the fast rich scheme. Because this will definitely lead to a scam.

You can protect yourselves from scammers by keeping safe your private key and password. Also, it is better to activate the 2FA authenticator of all your account. Then, be cautious upon logging in on your account and double check if the site you  opened is not a phishing site. There are some article or video that shows how you can detect a secured and phishing site.

if we want to protect ourselves from scammers, of course we must be observant in choosing a good ico for investment, especially now many new altcoins are popping up and they offer benefits, therefore we must be smart to analyze the prospect of ico to grow and we must continue to monitor prices exchange

Scammers are generally intelligent and that is why some people fall victim. I can remember vividly well during the period when I use to invest in high yield investment programme. seeing those flashy site make me think the programme is geniue because then I am of opinion that such robust site can not be build simply to defraud people but today I have seeing that people fall to scammers due to little knowledge on what they are investing on or being gullible some people want to get rich quickly that they forget they can be defrauded as well

The best way to protect yourself from scammers is to doubt everything, question everything, do your own researches and never ever trust someone who promises you to get you rich quickly.

People come across tricks of swindlers because of their inattention or greed, if you aren't greedy then you'll not be able to be deceived

I have my way how to protect my self from scammer and fake project ico and bounty campaign. I always look at the team of their ico project, always joining best team ico and bounty campaign because can get payment at the end of bounty campaign. By investing in ico project always look at the owner of ico project and always looking trust owner and they have good reputation in their project before. I have been success in choose many ico and campaign.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true. If a tweet said "send us 1 ethereum and instantly earn 5 ethereum", this is a totally scam. This is a simple method but people send their coins to scammers. Because they are so greedy to get money.

Also try to be careful for phishing fraud. Check browser's adress bar and website licences on cryptocurrency exchanges. On the other hand keep private keys and passwords on paper. These are important steps for protection in my opinion.

Each needs to protect themselves, there is greater awareness now, with the help of this community. Resist greed, thats the first thing one needs to fight, because scammers thrive on that, educate yourselves with proper research, without rushing into anything. Ask around, within the forum, and pay special attention to security, whether with passwords or personal information.

Careful and high knowledge are the main key on how to evade groups of scammers, in crypto business, a lots of scammers who are here looking for their next vctims, and to avoid on that, just look forward on their platform and easily detect on how the way they attract people, because scammers are different in terms of people attractions, on how the way they attract people to come on their business.

I think only myself can protect myself from fraud. To make the right decision, I have to learn a lot in books, on forums, in the media, learning through experts, friends, colleagues ... to know about this attractive market. Self-study and accumulate experience for yourself. And must regularly monitor market research. Must have passion and ability to take risks...

Accuracy is needed to avoid scamers, if you invest then you must know the identity of the team through linkedin.
At least you have done the best preventive measures, it's the best way to stay away from scamers.  >:(

1Remain alert and vigilant. Do not trust anyone and do not share your key.
2Keep your crypto safe in hard wallet like trezor or other wallets like electrum.
3Do not share your key in shady links, be assured , double check , stay intune with your mind and intutive power.

It surprise me how scammers have their way in scamming people successfully. Their victims must be a greedy human being, how will some say bring 5 collect 40 it is insane i believe nothing is free in this life, you have to work to earn.

As much as possible put a security to all your funds and change all your password into very defficult.

usually when the offer is too good to be true suspect it already and avoid it. victims usually are the newbies the newly entered investor. they don't have knowledge yet about how cryptocurrency have a bad side. they got attracted by the profit they can gain but forgot they will get scammed too. there are many ways to avoid being scammed and to know that research first and learn.

Never ever give any information to people you don't know most specially here in the internet. Better activate you 2 factor authentication and activate the maximum security per account. Do not open your account to public wifi or to your an friend and associate with their  computers and laptop because you don't know how capable that guy is when it comes to hacking.

Okay not to interest others with your Personality. So no one will try to get in your data, If you do not get very much attention. Make sure that you are not interesting to the hacker, and also your personal data was not interesting.

You can install chrome extensions when youre using chrome to add up to your security, like etheraddresslookup and metamask been using these for a while and so far so good for me.

I think it's fairly simple, you just have to educate yourself that there's no easy money even in crypto, everything need time to develop and if the offer is too good to be true then you have to ask is this legit or how can they provide this much return? Don't trust shallow reason like they have trading bot etc, a lot of people get scammed because they believe that, learn about investing from internet, youtube or books.

Just one thing is important, dont be dumb. Never trust a quick rich scheme, there no way something like that will work in long term. There HYIP there lending platform, most of them just ponzi scheme and end up as a scam. Ant there another scam, you can get phised hacked or got that kind of viruses that can stole your data. So be safe, and never click on random link in website or your spam box at email. Also always bookmark important site and use 2fa as aditional security.

YOu are absolutely rite with your post, people’s  thinking presently especially noobs in the crypto currency world is that crypto business presently is a fast way of acquiring wealth these days. People keep investing in any kind of program which leads to buying into scams project organized by scammers and they get scammed. The only way to avoid this is to be vigilant and take greediness out of your personal system. You would be safe

Just store the cryptocurrency in a cold purse and never go on suspicious links - these are the basic safety rules. If you will be is to comply with these rules, everything will be ok.

it would be better to grab your own hard wallet and put it to a safe place if you are planning to hold your altcoins for long term. Always back up sensitive information like private keys to a paper and a hard drive. Never save those to your computer or to your phone. I always save those online wallet and exchanges as bookmark to avoid phishing sites.

You know, I have realized that scammers, hackers, viruses, stupid things or even nature disaster are here to make us stronger and to show us how bad it is to be a liar. And knowledge and conciousness are the better armor from them...

Cold wallets is the only way to go though it doesn't make it 100% proof, still gives you the best chance to safe guard your asset.

The best way is to have the knowledge, experience and passion to thoroughly monitor and analyze the market before making a choice or when to time trade digital coin

many who utilize this amid the growing number of people who entered the field of crypto. need to be careful and not carelessly entered into a suspicious site if the site must enter an identity that no reasonable person should know.

In this industry the most important is research, never you invest in an ICO without you do research on the company.

Do not ever be embarrassed to ask in this forum to discuss the company you want to invest your capital in, I think that can protect ourselves from Scammers.

Simple answer on that question, dont believe people that you didnt know. Promise that your money will gain more profit, most this kind of investment is real scam so dont easily trust people. Better to learn and apply instead of investing. But in the ICO,  its called take the risk, hugh chance of scam so think carefully before you invest well detail research about the project

you should really be careful on what coins on choosing and be keen to whom you transact with

Deception, not just for certain items. There are people in the place of fraud, as long as you want to make more money, you will be cheated. So I'd rather make less money.

The best way is just to use your brain. There are scammers everywhere and if it looks to good to be true, it usually is. Be sure to check your web addresses twice or three times before you log in and most importantly, get yourself a hard wallet, especially if you have bigger amounts of coins in your wallet.

We can protect ourselves from scammers by being very careful and always focus on what you are doing. Keep your passwords to a safe place and don't ever share it to anyone, Don't click links and always be mindful, That's all! Trust no one!

The best way to protect yourself from scammers is to not invest in things you know nothing about, also do not be greedy because often times that is how these scammers get their victims, people want to become rich and be millionaires overnight and they will believe any unrealistic percentage of profit they are told, if it is too good to be true then it often is.

Banal hygiene measures in the network. Read about it and you will be able to avoid tricks of swindlers and other. If we talk about the ICO, it will save only a thorough study and knowledge of the processes that help the case to become successful.

Scammers will do anything for sake of money to avoid that don't always join some phishing site that not familiar to you mostly links that will direct to hack your info. Always be careful in crypto because some people will take advantage you especially when you are new in crypto.

complete agreement

hello my friend
re-think when someone asks you about private keys, phase, and maybe some money to transfer. now rampant phishing sites, always are careful to give your identity

Do a lot of effort to research about the team.
Because some of ICO team members are only made to scam people some are dead and some are not true..
Read about the white paper how their product work,  about their roadmap .
Get to know who you are transacting with.

There are really a lot of scammers who are trying to steal your money. I think you need to look very carefully to avoid visiting fraudsters. Do not show or send anyone your password to a wallet. Only trade on reputable exchanges.

Do not trust those campaigns that offer 2-3x (or higher) income growth immediately after its completion.
It also looks like suspicious proposals to transfer your personal data to developers without explaining the reasons.
Also it is usefull to explore two-factor authorisation anywhere it is available.

Scammers are unstoppable we can't stop them until they get what they want. To avoid to be fooled by this scammer always remember don't trust anyone in online don't give your full trust and information about you especially when you didn't know the person. Second, dont open, click some documents, file,emails that are send by unknown person it may contained malicious document or phishing. And lastly keep your password and codes to yourself.

We cannot control scammers but we can skip with them and aside from that they eventually appear easily and scam people without hesitation. That would be unfair to our part but they are aggresive enough to do that thing. They get rich but they step other people maybe their rich will disappear quickly. Digital currency is a future of everyone we need to be honest to become successful.

Yes. That is absolutely true and we also heard about several incidents these days. Never give your password or private keys to anyone and do not accept any unknown offers through emails. Always bookmark your legitimate website and log on from that site only. Further keep your password and private keys in a safest place and do not give your log in details to suspicious websites. Then only we can protect ourselves from scammers.

      Don't trust to anyone and always be careful. Be educated in many things specialy in crypto world where you are. Don't trust for every convincing sites in crypto. Learn more and more because knowledge can help you not to decieved by the scammers.

Scammers cannot be eliminated but we can prevent them by using our carefulness and knowledge. To avoid this kind of thing we should more private dont give your password or code to anyone or dont give your information in any emails or accept offer through emails, be careful on what link you are clicking or sites that are suspicious thise are malicious document or files. In summarization, be careful and use wise decision.

Scammers are those people who will do anything when it comes to money. To protect ourselves from those scammers we should be more  on what we are doing to avoid thid make sure that your code or password are secure to yourself. Second, use secure browser. Third, avoid joining or clicking suspicious or malicious file or link. And lastly be careful on giving your information.

The only one who can protect yourself from scammers is "you". There will always be someone who will take advantage of someones lapses. You cant stop them but you can avoid them. You have to be prepared and ready everytime you make a decision specially in crypto world. You must also be extra cautious on giving your information online to avoid being scammed.

Always make sure of everything. Treat everyone like a scammer and never trust in an instant, double check everything check as much as you need to get rid of them in that way you will be earning and winning in the same time.s

i will do more research about the project will i following/invest/support. you can read the whitepaper, team profile, soft cap, hard cap, roadmap, and understand it!.
about the softcap and hardcap you must consider is the company will reach it ?.

DYR plus use a scam proof platform, check -https://www.weicrowd.com/ (https://www.weicrowd.com/)

You must be a very good researcher to be protected in the world of virtual money. You should follow the telegram and ask questions. Do not share with anyone other than yourself very important in your wallets.

Do not store everything on the computer. Still, I think that the best way is to keep all the flogs on paper, and better in several copies.

Avoid to good to be true deals and avoid trades from people you don't trust. Bookmark websites that you frequently access which is related to crypto like exchange platforms and online wallets to avoid phishing sites. Be vigilant to your security details and computer files and always double check transaction details specially wallet addresses before committing to sending or receiving crypto.

there are a lot of scammers out there, that's why you need to ignore people who keep on inviting you on any investment schemes. You need to learn how to trade and how to hold your money, you don't need to rely anyone to get a quick and easy profit, there's no such thing as easy profit.

I have been pondering about this for a while, how to protect ourselves from scammers,, please we need an answer from the experts in the house because someone will invest in a project, nurture the project and later make profit, someone from somewhere will just cart away everything just like that, so to avoid this we need a way to secure ourselves

there are many type of scams so different strategy for each of them
ico scam - you can save yourself from scam or ponzi ICOs by proper study on that project and cross check team details . check reviews also .
social media impersonators - easy to recognize but hard to avoid . since they offer greed , so you can easily find scammer which give you scheme like 1 ether for 0.1 ether etc .

The actual question, which today is really very important for people, but very few people now really do not understand how you can do this, I think that everything is very simple you just need to completely verify the developers and everything will be wonderful.

We can only protect ourselves from scam ICOs by being cautious and finding,researching and analysing details about any project we want to invest,  some get scammed because of their greed once they see massive offers from ICOs they don't bother to dig deep down on the project and probably background checkups for the team. In addition always trust your instincts, if something seems not to be real it probably isn't. Invest wisely.

now more and more fraud and that makes us as new members should be careful in determining a project and don't trust anyone to make an investment .. ask the admin or team a project is the best step if you want to make an investment

Liars are everywhere and scams are even more sophisticated. The way to protect yourself is to increase your ability to identify scams. To abandon greed, you need to know that most people who are getting rich quickly are scams.

Scamming is a problem in a digital world. Thieves are always there wherever wealth is. There are just lazy people who just want an easy way to get wealth. What are we going to do? Well sad to say, we should not trust anyone with our private keys and any other personal details.

To protect yourself from scammers, I suggest the following:
1. Always check your browser if there are suspicious links or websites.
2. In joining ICO, always have background check on the team's background.
3. In investing in coins, always make sure that it has value.
4. Never open any links that is sent on your email from untrusted coins' sites.

Always check the site you are always using and if possible avoid google when searching for the site because there are times when the ones that appeared are those scam sites with just one letter in the address different from the original one and its interface is just the same so if you carelessly input the password then you will be hack and all the coins that you hardly earned will be gone. After using a legit site, bookmark it and access it from there. Do not participate in HYIP as most probably it will be just a scam and you will lose your funds.

You are probably saying the total opposite. If you have found a site, the best thing to do is google that site. This way, if the site is actually not
 legitimate and a scam, you will find some reviews about it being a scam on some forum or blogs. Also, google most of the time can detect phishing sites and skips them from the search result.

Scammers became too active and we should deal with care all transactions and bounties to avoid scam.Before joining any bounty research properly and read white papers of the project,Avoid any attractive deal or news which they want some coins against it and check on your funds to secure with strong tools.

Don't take every coin and ICO or program too easy. Make sure to learn, analyze, and research the truth. After the deep conversations, that is the best time for you to take or not. It is about the smart, wise, and patient way to face the scammers.

To protect ourselves from scammers , i think it's better to research more before joining one bounty or something. Be wise, and  it's also good idea if we ask the advice of people who is have a lot of experience than us. :) :) ;)

We can protect it by knowing the details of bounty to join in. Scammers are everywhere now, they always set for their ability to get our goods that's easy. Just be careful in choosing bounties, I prefer if you have a friend that is expert in this matter and ask advice.

Being rich or having wealth will be not easy. It will require so many efforts. Regarding the scammers on this crypto, I'm sure that they are really big. But in case, we must be sure that with enough smart and consideration including by analyzing the token or products, we can pass the scammers. We don't need to know them but we must against them and prove the better.

I also think that many people are cheated because of blind investment. Many people only see the profits of the market. They see that many people invest in cryptocurrency and earn a lot of money, but they do not see the dangers in this market, false agency, false ICO, The ever-changing tricks! If you are not careful, you will suffer loss of property! Investment needs to be cautious! Everyone must be careful!

The best way to protect ourselves from fraud, Scammers are generally smart and that is why some people become victims, but I can remind them clearly during the period when I use to invest in a very high yield investment program, yet we need to research about ourselves and never trust someone who promises us to make it get richer in such a fast way ....

Naturally, personal data is a taboo for the rest people. Always think for a very long time before investing your money into any of the projects (especially be careful with the new ones). Stay away from suspicious sites.

Obviously, you need to follow simple security rules about which everywhere and everywhere write. I have already honestly become annoyed, because I understand everything from the first time, and apparently does not reach others at all.

There are a few tips that you might want to keep somewhere around your mind. Never send or share personal information with anyone. emails, private keys, passwords, anything personal. There is a reason why it is called personal in the first place. In addition, do not for any reason send someone who you do not know, money over the internet for whatever reason.

whenever any new tech invented , some people try to utilize it for welfare , while others try to exploit  it .

in crypto too , ico scams , fake profiles scams on twitter , shilling scam , pump n dump scam , no real project , etc are common now days .

before taking any decision just be assure it is not a scam .
better to find red flag in that project or scheme .
if you find even a single redflag then check that properly .

discuss with your friends too .

In my own opinion, if you are using a wallet the only problem you will get is revealing your self into phishing accounts, that is the reason why most of the people are getting hacked.

You are like this because you think Bitcoin is actually a scam? If you think so, why are you here? Bitcoin is very smart, so we will choose to believe it. Maybe you should know more about Bitcoin, you can pay attention to some internatio

Reading is the best thingh is this world, but many people in this world doesn't like to read and they caught by scam! I always read first before joining any project or investing in it! Only trusted and popular project not need to study! I think reading is the best way to protect from scammers and also don't share your private key with anyone (Common reason).

It's up to us if we're going to handle our earnings in, different way we can avoid those scammers or hackers attempt in this constitution of bitcoin has.

Anti-scam ICOs are live now. One of them is MyShield and these projects will help us to fight scams. For now, it is sometimes difficult to figure out projects which are scam although few of them can be detected.

First, Don't you ever be shy to ask in this forum to discuss the company you want to invest your capital in, I think that can protect ourselves from Scammers. In this industry the most important is research, never you invest in an ICO without you do research on the company.

On the internet, do not believe anyone, they can pretend to be your relatives. Before making a transaction, you need to call or meet the person directly. Stop the scammers

It does not try 100% to protect yourself does not work, but you always have to be careful!

What you need to do is not to give your money to others easily, even if that person is your friend on the Internet, and don't trust the so-called official staff easily. They are probably posing.

Don't occasionally trust other people to your assets.
Don't believe in a weak campaign that wants KYC, like airdrop.

Keep your eyes open to see the latest information about SCAMMER

its ok to trust people as long as you already know them and you are now sure that they are legit . also , most kyc related bounties and airdrops are known to be secure because they are mostly big companies , thats why they are asking for kyc so that they are sure about their costumers .

thats right . keeping up to date to the latest news is something helpful but keep in mind that scammers can always leave thier previous identity and they will only create a new one  , in order to be back again on thier scamming business .

To protect yourself from scammers, you need to have not only one but a great deal of knowledge about investing in projects. You should keep a cold head when hearing about ICO investment projects, which often give us very high numbers of profits.

the easiest ideal way is to always be careful and not easily trust with others, we must have a skeptical spirit in every investment we will choose.

You should not see black pages without a security lock. When you want to invest ICO must learn thoroughly and sure. When trading you should trading on trust trading floor and do not let too much money on the trading floor.

The best way for you to protect yourself from scammers would be for you to make sure that you do not store your private information online, in a place that scammers can get to them. Also make sure to talk to people about the project that you are investing in, ask questions, the more you talk to people the more you learn about the project and if it is a scam you can find out that way.

Before investing, we must strengthen our knowledge accumulation and go to the forum to learn more about relevant information, actively participate in the community to ask questions and discuss and do in-depth research, not only to consider the profit, but to consider the risk, hold BTC or ETH for long-term investment. They are the safest

People budge finished artifice of hoaxer in that of their inattention or rapacity, whether you aren't avaricious so you'll not be dextrous to be deceived

Scammers in the electronic money market more and more. To protect myself from the scammers, I have to be careful in dealing. Do not greed the profits that scammers give. Want to contribute capital to any project must thoroughly understand the information needed to make sure you do not cheat money.

To date, there are no exact methods for determining the scam project's, sometimes we see how real projects with a finished product are clearly underestimated, while explicit outsiders with unfinished site and poor marketing occupy the top lines of ratings.

Hopefully,we don't ever get scammed, and experience the pain of being scammed. To avoid such a thing to happen, we should be careful of how we store our wallets information, and also who we maybe share them with. It is wise that you are also conscious of certain sites and ads that are permitted on your browsers.
