I think we've all seen this far too many times; somebody invests in a site that has been clearly identified as a scam by others, and then comes to their forum page to ask the admin about their payment. Recent example of this is people still trying to withdraw/deposit to diggit, even though it has been over a year since the site has been confirmed to no longer be running.

Can we all just take the time to research sites and ask around before we entrust them with our money? It'll save you the pain of knowing you just gave away money you can't reclaim, and helps reduce some of the unnecessary spam on here.

Sure, we could dismiss this as the fault of the person not looking into the site, but we should always encourage each other to be wiser and ultimately help create a positive community.

Happy gambling Cheesy

If I'm not wrong people will do their best research before investing on any site. But some people may not be knowing where to find the correct answers and if the site looks professional then they may fall into these traps. Nowadays these scam sites are more, and they are just behind people money. Investors should be very careful before investing on any new sites.

Nope, some others are just been drag to the site without doing proper research on site legitimacy, thats why we can see many scam victims for either gambling or hyip investment since they cannot tell if that one is legit or not since mostly of falled victim are newbies, thats why if they use their brains and di some deep research on the things they wish to invest well im sure theirs no people will shout that they have been scam.

You should have a research of these new sites before you invest with their offered bets so that you won't be their victims of scams in gambling. This is the main reason why people easily falls to their nice web presentation advertisements which you see legit but if your already in their membership its not the reallity of it, but failure of expectations happend. Having proper info research will prevent this to happen and you can even choose the best sites to deal with.

this forum itself can be a good venue of research because we can actually ask for opinions before we start placing our money to invest we just needed to properly present our concerned and most of people here find good answers it our money so better yet we need to take a bunch of care be more observant before entering anything that involves money.

Everybody should do their research before investing into anything. If you do not, you are basically giving your money away as if you were buying a lottery ticket and in case everything goes well you have hit the jackpot (a tiny one that is).

The problem is with these bitcoin related "start ups" that it is even more difficult to determine who is the team behind it and whether you trust them or not.

My thoughts would be to simply stick to those who have proven their worth for now and accept the potential lower payout as payment for the reduced risk.

Indeed because you can actually see those awared people who can give valid thoughs on that investments thing, and if yoy just ask on social medias surely you will get some bad info regarding to them so you would register on their link and they get some bunoses upon your deposits, and also background checking is truly the most ideal way to do since make us away to those scam site if we see some shaddy behavior.

this is one of those topics that is a "no-brainer". those who are wise enough will research before handing over their money to someone who they have not even met! i mean literary they never even see they person they are handing over they money to. they see some words on the screen saying "will pay 20% daily profit" and they open their wallets to not miss out on the golden opportunity ROFL.
and those who are not wise enough will never listen until their head hits a rock and they realize their wrong ways themselves.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

This is should be in beginers & help/bitcoin discussion or service discussion section.

Ask to this forum before investing to site related bitcoin is important before losing money by scammed, but first thing to do is googling first and search on this forum thread related to site want to invest, there are already discuss or not yet, because i see people who asking bitcoin investment site on this forum is mostly have same question.
And i mostly see people who has been scammed is a greedy beginers, from bitcoin group(mostly facebook group).

I think it is very important to look for information before you do any investing and the greatest teacher to avoid scam is from your experience, it is really important to think with a clear head, if a site offer you with big interest and they said they can make profit everytime why it need your money?
nowadays the scammer is getting more and more clever you need to be extra careful, and don't be afraid to ask another person

Most of them who are doing that are newbies, even I. When I was still newbie in bitcoins I tend to do that invest to those sites that are kinda fishy and being speculated by many people to be scam. But since I am newbie and it was my negligence not to do some research, then I feel to their trap. And shouting through out their facebook group but nothing happened but it was long time ago already and I forgot that site.

This is should be in beginers & help/bitcoin discussion or service discussion section.

I guess this is fine to be here if it implies to gambling sites.

I think it goes without saying that anybody interested in investing in anything should do a hell of a lot of research & I don't just mean things involving bitcoin.

It's your money, treat it with respect.

Is there any site which went down recently ? How do you suggest should someone thinking of investing research websites at first ? Sites often go down with no signs at first and later claim being hacked.

Then get screwed over then cry about it.

And that is exactly something I learned the hard way that a simple "xxx review" on google will save a lot of headache, stress, and eventually money and also no matter how much we shout and even announce it some people will still fall prey then later cry foul despite the fact that the onus is on them to do their due diligence before investing in anything.

Doing research before investing in any program is always suggested but many newbie just get lured by all the big promises provided by scam projects. Not only hyip recently new type of crypto ponzi have came around like MLM based centralized cryptos, altcoins ICO by shit developers and cloud mining ponzis promising high return of 3%+ daily profit.

Not only for scam check, i also like to suggest people to calculate time for any cloud mining (if they are real, legally operating and have real mining farms with actual mining power they promises) to return you 100% of invested money from mining, in most of the cases return after deducting maintenance cost will take over a year to get your investment which can create panic for most of the newbies who have just invested in them without calculating possible real return.

I will not suggest anyone to believe in all big promises, all this ponzis do and i think all cloud mining site which are popping up everyday are also just another face of scam.

Recent example of this is people still trying to withdraw/deposit to diggit, even though it has been over a year since the site has been confirmed to no longer be running.
are you talking about https://diggit.io/ ? It is showing 58 players online seems like they gonna get scammed soon.

The last person people should be listening to is the person whp is trying to sell them something no matter what it is. They will and can say anything to sell it to you. it is up to us to find out exactly what we about to get ourselves into. No one can be blamed if someone did not do their research.

Its very interesting how fast they find threads on forums and scam accusations after they lose money. I think they are just lazy to do research, and they believe everything they read in sites, especially if site looks professional, have "certificate", proofs of payment, pictures of people saying "wow, i invested here and don't have to work any more" etc. Its really hard for someone to just write in google: "site_name scam or legit" and do research.
