Of course we can avoud it by using trusted escrow, that is the main reason why this forum build an escrow to make all transaction smooth transacted in both parties.
If you do not want to used the srrvices of third party do not deal with low rank users because most of the scammer are at that lower rank account. But much recommended is to used escrow as always.

I'm not looking to an account trust feedbacks but I can easily guest that having a negative trust is not reliable person to believe especially in trading and campaign managing.

tips to avoid scammers. do not just trust the stranger, this is the number 1 rule in this forum. I'm trying to give you a tip.

My three main rules are:
1 - Always use trusted escrow (when you are making some trade)
2 - Trust nobody (consider every single person as possible scammer)
3 - If something sounds too good to be true, it's most probably scam (nobody will give you free money, BTC ...)

Be careful when clicking on website address, the website might have virus or malware which will infect your computer and steal information such as private keys.  Always use escrow when trading.

Their a lot of ways how to get scammed because as bitcoin is being innovated. their are this short term scams and longterms scams just like investing. Some could earn in short time but most investments are in the long term.

Yup, to have high moral standards u can't scam anyone then.
Trust noone is good advice, except it can get u a little paranoid in life.

Don't take risks with people you meet on forums if you wouldn't do it with people you've known for years. Most people are simply not reliable. If something interests you to want to part with money, escrow services are available to ensure the person delivers before releasing the money.

Always use escrow

Don’t trust for newbie help


check trust to see if member change email or password

[elliottflz65]

Haven't been scammed yet but am a little scared of trading on the forums for that reason. I'll only deal with highly trusted members but a lot of the people in the marketplace are newbies with no track record

True that, I would neither trade via forum. Also not even to help people buy coins via PayPal. Better to use exchange or live transaction if possible.

My advice on this topic is to be really careful what kind of wallets you install on your computer.

Do not install new wallets of airdrop coins or new unknown wallets in general.
If possible use an online wallet or a hardware wallet.

And obviously trust no one, crypto is the wild west of the internetz.

There's plenty of good advice here, but my best piece of advice is if it's too good to be true - it probably is.

Other than that, as other's have mentioned - use escrow, only deal with established/trusted members, etc.

I got scammed out of 20 Btc once early in my crypto years because I was too eager too jump the gun. Granted, they were only worth $4 a piece at that point, but it still stings to this day.

Are you talking about ICO's, token sales or just scammed in crypto world in general?
