Be safe: READ THIS BEFORE TRADING/BUYING/USING YOUR MONEY

[Bros_3]

Before you're ready to ride the bitcoin rollercoaster, you'll need to establish an account with one of the major exchanges (like Coinbase or CEX), connect a bank account or credit card and transfer money over. That process, which we break down below, should take roughly 10 minutes or so. Unless, of course, an exchange is suffering some sort of outage.

There are many other points of entry into the bitcoin universe, however. You can play day trader and use a regulated exchange like GDAX (which is owned by Coinbase). On the opposite end of the spectrum, you can find someone local willing to trade cash for bitcoins, if you're into meeting up with strangers in parking lots. And if you operate a business, you can accept bitcoin as payment for goods or services.

Hi. Can I create a topic in this thread about selling accounts of various ICOs with the passed KYC?

Don't create that topic on here, but create it on Reputation thread.

[Raiwenkai]

If you are just a newbie in trading always chek read or make a research about the coin you want to buy.  Be careful always and don't trust anyone  because scammers are everywhere.

Alright, so I've been PM'd by a few people what red-flags to look out for since I have a pretty good track record of spotting scammers. Sometimes I get it wrong, but better safe than sorry.  Here's a couple rules to follow to avoid becoming a victim:

1. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's nearly a 100% chance that one of the parties is a scammer. I can not stress this enough.. just work with people who have been here at least a year.
2. Always use escrow.
3. See rule #2.

Thank you for your share. I think what you shared is very helpful and useful for me. I just a new member in cryptocurrency trading and there are many things I must study. I thought everything easy and simple before i read your share. Thank you so much again.

I would say that this is the minimum that should be followed. Even if you are a first-class specialist in finding projects for investment, it will only reduce the risks. All thoroughly study projects, team. Review all team members and what projects they have done. If the projects were successful, it is a plus. If there is no or they did not exist, then this is a reason to think. Perhaps it is necessary to bypass this project and just watch it. In any case, communicate, study people's projects and the risks of your investment will be minimal.

Think wisely. Don't just trust any body.

You can still trust escrow if you are about to trade with someone.

Good information. I will keep a look what you  share here when decide trade with another member.
My interest now is how to delete scam from our life. It is so difficult question. It's so hard to answer.
Thank you so much!

[Jannyh]

Thanks for the information. It is very terrible the way people rip of others of their money. The rate of scamming suddenly got on the increase but i am happy now because so many people are now more careful.
Talking about using escrow, it used to be very good but i found out that some groups escrow also indulge in this scam stuf, but with all i have read, i have learnt to be extreamly careful. Thanks again

[Rudolo]

Iam really new at here. thank to sharing a relevant information, well iam never trust anyone on the internet just be carefull.

[A.SanchezNo7]

Hi everyone,
As I replied in this topic, I have learnt so much knowledge from what owner of the topic and other members shared. I want to say thank to everyone here. Moreover, in my opinion, we should trade on the prestigious exchanges, never trade directly with anyone that you don't know. I think do like that we are safer.
Thank you.

        Thank you for the information. She will help me very much in the future. But I would like to hear from you more recommendations so as not to mess up all the bad things on the forum. What would have to do all sorts of things with the old-timers of the forum. Please give me a couple more recommendations.

I am a newcomer. And I thank you for sharing so much. Indeed, this is a large mine, but not for everyone. Be careful, otherwise your effort will be poured into someone else's bag. I also agree that we should trust the veteran. Consult with them about choosing investment projects, selecting programs to receive rewards. And if you're not sure, ask a more experienced person to help out.

Are you pertaining to those bounty campaigns? there are reviewers out there and scam busters that will help you out. But not all the time they will follow and do the job for you. They aren't paid for their generosity but they are dedicating time to help the community by giving tips and what are the projects that everyone must avoid. In everyone's part, don't also be deceived with those rewards that are quite high in your eyes. Start making your assessment as well.

Useful Article for those new in this game. thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Though it I think that the one about newbies, though might be true to some, certainly not all Newbies, perhaps you might wanna expantiate on your reasons for the view so as not to stereotype all Newbies, but overall a nice article in my view.

.

1) Don't just trust the status of a member, anyone can be a hero member. This just means that he invested some time on his membership. He can always decide that a profitable scam will be a good payment for his time. However, a Hero account without negative feedback can be sold for more than 0.5 btcs. Therefore, he probably won't scam you for less than that, because a negative feedback from you would lower its value substantially.
2) Never deal with anyone without doing a search in the forum with his nickname, in order to check if he has scam accusations.
3) Ask for his coin address and always search it on http://blockchain.info, www.cryptocoinexplorer.com or other similar site, to verify if his address has the amounts he wants to sell.
4) Be very suspicious about proposals well under market price or if he accepts your proposal under market price with no negotiation.
5) Look for the reputation/trust of the member, checking also his successful trades, in the form of vouches from the other party on the deal. Be aware that positive trust can be forged by making and using more bitcointalk accounts and the trust system can be more or less avoided by changing its settings.
6) Even if he has some reputation, never send all the money in one transfer: send one first small tranche (ex. 0.05 btc) and wait for his payment. Send a second little higher tranche and wait again, etc. Small increments, because he might decide to pay you the first and second, to scam a bigger tranche. Always suspect if he doesn't accept to trade in small tranches, unless he has an excellent reputation.
7) If he has no reputation (specially if he is a newbie or Jr.), even small tranches are very risky. Better use an escrow system, like the one of www.btcrow.com, or a trusted member, or you might need to send more than 10 very small tranches. Think well before sending more than 0.15 btcs (it's considerable money in some countries) and only after 3 or 4 successful payments of 0.05 and 0.1 btcs.
8] For big amounts use an escrow system, unless the member has an excellent reputation. If he doesn't accept, forget the deal. Always protect your capital.
9) Only trade codes (ex. of virtual gift cards) with members with a very good reputation or using a very trusted escrow member that will have to go to the account and apply the code himself. The buyer will have to give the escrow person his password and change it again after. With an automatic escrow system, the buyer can claim falsely that the code was already redeemed when he received it or that his account was blocked after.
10) Don't sell any cryptocoin to paypal or other reversible system, unless the buyer has good reputation. The buyer can chargeback and, since it's against paypal's TOS to trade currency, paypal usually gives your money back to the buyer.


Here is a list of escrow members: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0

Your advice and recommendations are very welcome. They are all true. If all the selected steps are strictly observed and are considered before trading with someone, hardly anyone can be deceived.

[ildario_n]

Escrow must be used ALWAYS, because veterans should also understand that their reputation depends on their responsibility.
