If you mean crypto scammers, then there isn't any organization that offers such services, mind you that cryptocurrencies are decentralized, the more reason why it's not possible for such an organization to function, it's your responsibility to protect your funds, though it's possible to track down addresses and link them to exchanges if they have ever withdrawn from an exchange, but scammers also use mixers and coinjoin to make them impossible to trace, the bottom line of it all is learn all the protection precautions and protocols, then be your own bank and protect yourself.

Having said that, why do you want to know if there's such service, if by any chance you have lost funds and looking for someway to retrieve it, you'll prolly get scammed again, stay away from anyone or user will will advertise to you any sort of crypto recovery or a way to track down scammers who stole from you, treat such people as scammers as well.

It is very easy to fight scam and frauds but it is complicating to do so with the type of humans around; as long as we have greedy people, or indiviuals who place emotions first over intellect then there are going to be more scam victims. The easiest way to fight fraud is to avoid greed, do your own research and be honest with yourself. stop find 300% roi in few days etc

Ehm, a law enforcement agency?! We like to call them "P O L I C E" (don't ask me why).
I'm pretty sure there's something like that where you live, too.  ;)

I agree but there is many projects and websites that look really cool...som of them have also a great new idea and their team isnt anonymos but in the end they will "take the money and run"

I dont talk about the stupid 300% roi in 2 soconds ;D and i think no one can get scammed by those types of people

You only see volunteers do that. On the Scam Accusations(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) you can see projects that are posted there and tracked and tagged as a scam with valid source and proof. It's just a free community from the forum who does that
But isn't it that SEC is the one that also sneaks into something like this? and also unregistered projects/icos.

It's very difficult to track the scammers, the only way to track the scammers through make a complaint to the centralized exchange site but the exchange site will not also give a response to the little shrimp.
You can't do that alone and even when you are using the police and it doesn't mean you can trace the scammers.
This is the difficult part of the crypto. So many members here already fight the scam project and bunch of scam projects already traced.

Cryptocurrencies scams are now popular and there are too many ways to trick people and fool them by asking for money through cryptocurrency, but if that related to a scam project probably you can hunt down the owner.

If you have been experienced fraud or other bad business, you can report it here, Federal Trade Commission (https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/) they had connected different law enforcers.

And regarding Bitcoin scam or any transaction that used blockchain, you can also use this, Chainalysis (https://www.chainalysis.com/).

To track scammers is easy if we do analysis and in this forum there is also a section to report scammers. But to stop the scam itself is very difficult.
Because scammers will do everything possible to satisfy their greed and earn money easily from crypto. As long as crypto  still exists in this  world,
then scammers will continue to exist. Here we as a crypto community should be careful and please report if you find a fraudster in the crypto space,
to prevent many victims of scammers.

sec only for the American region, on the basis of this institution exists to protect its citizens. That's why every new project that wants to sell coins, prohibits Americans or those with an American passport from participating. but crypto doesn't only exist in one country. So as long as they are not American, they are still free to commit fraud and the SEC does not have the authority to sue them.

I think there should be an organization that audits every project. and this organization was created by the owners of the dapps platform such as ethereum, BNB, EOS, and other Dapps platforms. so each Platform has an audit team to see if the project is feasible or not using their network. and this team must be open to any suggestions and complaints.

Yep, Chainalysis has several clients, one of which is the U.S. government. For better or for worse, for good or bad, they are out there connecting the dots on behalf of exchanges like Binance in terms of helping them track down where hacked funds are moving, giving other exchanges a heads up that hacked funds are coming their way.

Here on the forum, we have a good intern scambuster program going where we are all interns and no one gets paid. But we do get rewarded in the form of extra digital doodads for our accounts, as an incentive to continue busting scams.

This is the downside of Cryptocurrency, it is the best place to do scams. Someone can easily take advantage of anyone by using digital platforms. Since cryptos are mostly a decentralised system, no one can control the scammers. The only way to lessen the losses and scam events, people should be educated on how to avoid and discern different schemes scammers ate doing. Until people doesn't have enough knowledge on this schemes they will continue to be a victim.

It's not very hard to scam people because many people are still stupid out there, newbies don't have time to ask people that are already in to crypto the right path to take, they take risks themselves and only tend to learn when they lose, even old scamming trick of 2017 still works on many crypto newbies today, unfortunately there is no way to put an end to this


Title: Re: Is there real initiatives to fight scam in crypto??

The most safest place for newbies to be is top exchanges, investing in altcoins from top exchanges like binance and Okex are the best thing to do, if the projects are bad or can't be trusted binance exchange won't accept them on its platfrom

Since 2017 we have found scam alternatives and negative adaptations for this modality and in some ways this has affected the ICO market and is affecting the DeFi market. The main strategy is that the initial idea is to create a project, raise funds and launch in a famous exchange and normally for some reason the development is disrupted and the developers abandon the project with a dreamy community. However, the creativity for this type of situation is great and we must be aware.

This situation became irritating.

if there is such a thing, I think it has been established a long time ago, and is being run to help thwart scammers. however, for now, we can only report odd things to the scam thread, and these should be further identified. I just wish there was a way to find out if a project could be a scam, it's just that even a popular project can become a scam when the CEO gets greedy.

In terms of technology - NO! One of the key "features", it is also a drawback - the decentralized system does not have centralized control, which makes it impossible to influence the flow of information and "fix" illegal transactions. Therefore, any initiatives to combat fraud come down to regulating the work of exchanges that adhere to the legislative framework. Only at the level of exchanges can accounts be blocked, not allowed to withdraw copied funds.

Of course, we have.
You can report it in HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) where the forum police will hunt them down and stop their evil intention to the forum.

But, we don't just rely on them totally. We can make it our own if we are too keen on analyzing the project. Obviously, they got to offer huge and quick returns, it certainly mind-changing and it looks very catchy. if gonna see these things, it gives you time to did deeper and do the search to know if they are legit or not.

There are so many scammers in this cryptocurrency world and there are also many victims,
It is certainly difficult to be able to distinguish projects that are scam and those that are not, but we can also reduce this risk by learning to understand things related to crypto

In my opinion, until now there is no other alternative to fight crypto scam except for yourself who have to be careful in all forms of initiation. So before investing you need to examine crypto from various points of view, don't look at the benefits, because it's clear that it's a temptation to offer. but look at the quality of the crypto managers and their staff. do a comparison with someone who knows more about crypto. do all the scavengers on its social media. is the show really real? and there are still many more things that must be considered, thus minimizing crypto that smells of scam.

you may think it becomes hard to scam people but i don't believe it is so, as crypto gain more exposure and the price increases so are new innocent people coming into to earn, and this people are still very vulnerable with no idea at all how things are done, how to protect themselves from scammers, now that btc price has increase a lot we have new people in crypto, and scammers are up in their game as well.

Yes, let's say that the center of the lawsuit by SEC is on America. But if it comes out and they have an official statement, it will be on the news and many will be aware of the existence of that project as a scam.
It's a good platform and agency to determine the scams and they're the ones that shall take further actions. Because us, we can't do anything if it's on the higher courts or legal matters.

I doubt that scam could be something we can all get together against because it is something that scammers do individually to us and we would need to form a group of individuals who got scammed while being global. When you are global like this it is and impossible to get together from all around the world. When someone scams people from only one nation, or even just one state, it is possible that those people can get together and fight against that scammer, because they are all at the same place and just sue the scammer there.

But if I am from nation A and you are from Nation B and another person is from Nation C while the scammer is from Nation D, what are we going to do? Where are we going to sue the scammer? It becomes near impossible to deal with that. However there were few places that got sued, and they have been both punished with millions of dollars and jail time together, it requires enough people from scammers location to start that.

It's always upto the investors that should research and find what's suitable for them and what is a scam.
There are surely people working without any incentive to report scams but sometimes they are wrong while mostly they don't cover every projects that need to be. There are even situations when these so-called investigators were found to be taking money to put some projects in a good way or bad way. With no regulations, these people and group act like a bad journalism.

Only users would do that. There isn't organization assigned to do that specific kind of job.

Even if there would be, there would still be scammers.
One just gotta be unfortunate or not intellect enough to fall for those. Experience from it tells their lesson.
There are a lot of scam busters in the DT Members, and even if they make an organization, there still would exist one.
Scammers are already part of financial ecosystem, that's why there's known word as "risk".

The crypto forum is open and there are no rules regarding fraudulent projects. However, you can minimize it by looking at the list of fraudulent projects in the Fraud Accusation Thread, then you can avoid it if you find a suspicious project, don't fall in love with a lucrative offer, and do detailed research.

I think to be able to fight the scam in crypto is from ourselves continue to follow the information on the coins that we invest don't be quiet or don't care
because many projects scam happen in the middle of the road first start with good but when in the middle of the road they will make something bad
such as not running the roadmap properly, not updating and even disappearing

It is not right to be overly attracted to any project as soon as it comes for promotion. As you said, now there are many ways to check whether the project is real or not. Even then, many crypto users do not want to do research on any project which they may realize later if they make a loss later. Just as not all projects are doubtful, not all projects are real.

That is what law enforcement is for, we do not need a bunch of vigilantes, besides it is not like they have the power to to anything, the most we can do, and this is something the community already does, is that when a scam is detected they announce it in the forum for everyone to see, but besides that there is not much to do, it is up to each person to watch for signs that the project they are interested is legitimate and if they have doubts they must raise their concerns on the appropriate channels.

If the developers of the project instead of answering your questions ban you or something similar then you know you are most likely in the presence of a scammer and you need to expose them if you can.

I do not think there is any such thing available as of yet and that is why scammers are free to loot people. I agree to the idea of an online police that checks, exposes, charges and punishes scams and scammers, only this way online fraud can stop or atleast reduce.

I thought the system was very friendly to Noobs without proper knowledge, that's how I lost $450 to Telegram bitcoin miners as they called their self.
The second loss was when I made a trade without an escrow, the scammer vanished with my hard earned money. I hope this system can have a better way to guide Noobs into the system without been scam. It's has reducbut its scary.

Unfortunately, we don't have a central organization that fight these crypto scammers. But in this forum, there is scam accusations board where you can visit existing projects that has scam allegations. This is what we can do here in the forum. Expose potential scammers but seriously filing a lawsuit to them? We can't unless, there is an individual that is willing to go beyond reporting that project. And maybe, if that individual is heavily invested on a project and he can afford to file a lawsuit to the project and follow thru with it. However, very rare that you will encounter here. So yes, what you can do is just avoid potential scam projects by doing your own research.

There is no way to locate the scammers. You have to understand that this crypto market or cryptocurrencies are not centralized. If you face anything like this then you have nothing to do. You have to count this as a loss. But you can reduce the percentage of this situation by doing the proper research. Scammers will do their job for sure, but you have to make sure that you won't go there by yourself.

Unforuntaely there is no chance to get back stolen coins, but what we can fight for is prevention of future scammer. I think that all the people who got scammed will invest time to help others to not have the same faith. Reporting out scammers on forums like this one can help others to not lose coins.
Also there is a growing number of people out there who engage scammers and play dumb. They are well aware that the other one is trying to scam them. But as long as they keep them engaged they can't scam anyone else.

There's not one, but the community is fighting these scam projects, we have the scam section and reputation section where people can create a thread on projects that's obviously or caught trying to scam investors, just visit these two sections more often to get the latest projects that are reported, it's a must section for every investors and bounty hunters.

 And at the same time you will understand how people find and expose scam projects. Do you want to help? Get to work.
Of course i want to be part of this initiatives because the fraud look easier in the crypto world...its like a dark side of crypto compared to fiat...if we will be able to fight scam and track scammers this will be great

To avoid meeting with scammers, you need to trade on exchanges with a positive reputation. In any case where money is involved, everyone is for himself. Yes, there are decent people, proven exchanges. But there are also many who are just waiting to make money on someone else's inexperience.

To hell with all the scams that have plagued crypto users so far. They have to accept heavy curses and never be forgiven. When we are among the scammers vigilance is something that should always be improved. Fraud will continue and we all need to be careful.

I don't think any organization is contributing to tracking the ongoing scams in the crypto world. The government won't be held responsible for any harm anyone here can get. In the forums we have several people who are continuously contributing to exposing scams and they do their best for the community. People must recognize that it is our responsibility to stay safe.

I don't think any organization is contributing to tracking the ongoing scams in the crypto world. The government won't be held responsible for any harm anyone here can get. In the forums we have several people who are continuously contributing to exposing scams and they do their best for the community. People must recognize that it is our responsibility to stay safe.

I don't think that's entirely true. There are many cases where scammers from the crypto scene are faced with justice.

Yes, it is a very difficult job, so what will you do if I find the scammers and I leave it to you? because catching con artists is almost the same as catching criminals who have done a lot of harm to other people in general.
yes it is impossible to catch the bounty project fraudsters, if to find or identify maybe we can still do but for the next case which is very difficult. scametrs are very agile, observant and have many ways to do it and it is impossible to fight all the scamers in this forum, there are many secamers all around us.

If you really know Who they are? Where? How does it work? it is okay to contact the legal defense agencies in your own country, but i think that will be difficult to resolve soon because the law is not so clear in this area in everyday life. However, phishing projects should always be warned, on this forum you can report such projects here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board= 83.0

There are many actually, even if you just googled up some keywords like" crypto scam " they will usually provides you some website that have some information regarding scams and how to prevent them. It's actually just educating yourself to not get trapped by these scammers really and if the scamming is big enough you can get them to court only if you can track them down, regarding some organization that tracks them down, I don't think there's any official one out there.

When your country not legal using bitcoin and altcoin as transaction payment I think you don't have law to fight with cryptocurrency scammer, you will reject when make report to the law of country. Better when you try investing with cryptocurrency you should know about ponzi investment or trading because when you know detail with bitcoin you can understand how bitcoin working, there are not have guarantee percentage profit every day or every time.

Until now there is no place to report such crypto scams, but if it is a serious scam or a large project scam it looks like it can report it to the authorities.
Yeah sadly the authority only consider big cases to be the only one that deserves attention, We know that crypto is kinda hard to track more specifically if the scamming done using privacy coin but there should be some kind of authority that handles small cases and honestly to guide some new comers to crypto aswell.

That's only a dream maybe  :(.

It is your responsibility to keep your self safe from those scams. If something smells like scam, warn others so that they may not fall for the scam.
As far as I know, there are some threads that are constantly updating scam sites. And if you think something is a scam, google it including the keyword "scam". It might help.

We cannot assume that these organisations operate 'secretly' because anybody can report any crime, no matter where it happens, either in the real world or in the cyber world. Specific organizations responsible for cybercrime cases vary from country to country. In addition to national criminal justice authorities, regional agencies such as Europol and international agencies such as INTERPOL assist in cross-border investigations into cybercrime.

Yes, I totally agree that in terms of knowledge so that it is not easily cheated by online fraudsters, but for education I think it will be very difficult to obtain because in my place no one teaches about crypto as a whole for everyone.
If you can't get it in your environment and that means you should go that from the various forum or websites. There bunch of sites that already provided that dude.
These days it's easy to get everything from the internet. You should be more active to visit the various sites. It needs a few seconds or less to open a site with a bunch of information like bitcointalk or something else. If you can be more active and that will give you more benefits.

If people have access to crypto meaning they have access to internet which you could use to obtain any kind of information. Self-education is a thing and I don't think there's stopping people from gaining knowledge with internet except they themselves don't really put that much of an effort.

There is no real initiative from anyone to fight fraud, only we can prevent it from happening. The only way to avoid fraud in the crypto industry
today is to not engage in the crypto industry itself. But that fraud will always happen and exist in any field and industry. Because scammers will
always look for opportunities in any case.

Scamers have thousands of ways to deceive their victims, without us realizing that scamres are always around us, but I agree at least we can still avoid doing a thorough research on the project and avoid suspicious project criteria. Don't fall in love with a project that offers a high return on investment. Crypto is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

For now nope! fighting scam here in cryptocurrency is hard. It won't be easy for us to fight them but We can avoid them and stay away from them too, if we know their tactics and more. But if there are an organization to fight scams for sure scam projects won't arise in cryptocurrency industry.
Still not chance when you get scam from investment in cryptocurrency to get back you money and the scammer is nothing because almost data wallet is hidden and we don't know about some one have scam us, in cryptocurrency always protect your investing which one have to invest or not, but many investor running fast when getting new site investment and not will hold or invest for long term, after get profit they will withdraw all assets just new member will loss their investment money because coming late for investing.

Many people might have learned a lot already about scammers that's why there's a very few people who gets scammed right now in the news and mostly, they are new in this game. In my knowledge, there is no special organization yet that focuses on catching scammers or tracing them. If ever one would appear, they would surely have trouble on what they are doing because the market or crypto is too broad and not everyone will be caught since they will find way on how they can escape the authority and keep up with their fraud movements.

Do you know another organization that "to some extent" is fighting a scam? By and large, only SEC fights with those who do not fit into the framework of their rules, this can include scams too, but all this is only technical. Indeed, in fact, all other initiatives to combat the scam are not official, which means they are essentially volunteer.

as currently there is no other authority other than the SEC that has taken up the fight against fraud that occurs in the crypto, world and maybe now even other countries have to at least form and have a special authority that does handle every problem that occurs in the world of cryptocurrency, but it seems that it does not this can be done because every country has different regulations and not all countries in the world have accepted cryptocurency as an alternative to finance and also investment.

I know when scammer have get law and was arrested we can't get back our money full or half, I think many scammer with ponzy investment way have cases to police but how many member have loss much money without get back their assets, this happen with my country and I think looks crazy with how much scammer money get by police why not refund to investor but how come the scammer assets could be loss.

Common sense and self-awareness and be realistic and logical from time to time. Getting rid of scam would really be impossible because we know that
as long this market do involves money then it cant really be stopped to those people who do really do those criminal minds will really be making things
that will really steal off peoples money.

Fighting is useless because no matter how good the system is but still they would surely exist but as a smart investor, making yourself
knowledgeable and aware on how things works around then you would really be saving up yourself into this problem.
Dont tend to fight but rather avoid as long youre aware.

The question is, have someone in your country put into jail because of these activities.
I'm not sure how this cybercrime division makes a deal into this since crypto is fully anonymous and someone that has been accused can make a denial.
TBH, it is really hard to fight this scam thing in crypto. The only thing that could help us out from this is to be aware, we need to do research before investing. Because some projects aren't obvious a scam thing unlike the others, and some aren't the intent to scam but the project itself got failed to raise the money enough to run the project.

Tracking bitcoin is easy as long as it's not mixed yet due to the blockchain transparent nature, that's why you can see in some news after hacker occurs that the  exchange are promising to froze hackers' money if the hackers happen to use that exchange.
For big cases it's easy to report the scammer but for smaller cases it's kinda get ignored, same like scamming activities in real life.

I think easy for tracking with bitcoin address sending but when using platform like trust wallet or coinomi how come to know the owner, maybe when they sell coin on market we know but always scammer most smarter because they can use other data for creating binance account and submit KYC, so  when you got scam with bitcoin never get back your money except with PayPal you have chance to dispute and if you win you can get back your money, I think I like investing by using PayPal than bitcoin if have any investment project site.

We can fight scam in cryptocurrency but not in the conventional way of harassing the scammers because they may be difficult to track down owing to the decentralised and anonymous nature of the industry. Scam could be fought by fighting ignorance and greed among the cryptocurrency enthusiast. Most scam are perpetuated due to the fact that the victim wants to make more money or/and ignorant of the way things work in the industry.

Lol you fool, binance been kicked out of three countries already and have some legal issues again. Okex once wanted to scam me and i was fighting a half a year to get my coins out. I lost count of the exchanges closing and running with peoples coins. Exchanges are number one scam.

What scam do you mean ? If you got scam because of ICO and the developer is anonymous it will be little bit difficult.but if you have even small data or id about the team developer you can report them, especialy in west europe. I think west europe realy can track them.

Dont fall for fake ICO, due dilligent is a must before investing, especialy in crypto space.
