I got scammed before I will tell you honestly but I think it more of a risk because I know that what am I doing is a gamble because I payed him first without any assurance or collateral in return and that is bad though.

For me people are getting scam easily because they trust too much in the one who they transacting with, in this digital world we can't really see them physically yet we can communicate with them so with that they can promise whatever they want just to get your trust.

For as long as someone is telling you different things in exchange of your money and you will not get anything in return with that deal then that's is a scam most of the time. You can always background check though it is free.

Why do you need to give bitcoin to a certain person in the first place? I personally didn't currently need a reason to trade with a stranger. If you're transacting for a certain physical item, then use a sort of middleman or "escrow" like purse.io, or you can also contact trusted people who escrow here in bitcointalk as well.

The biggest scam on this forum is promises of high daily interest rates that are equal to the rates most investments take a year to return. If you see someone offering even 1% per day, it's a scam. There's no investment in the world that can give you 1% growth per day...maybe bitcoin can, but if that's the case it's a prime reason why you shouldn't be giving up your bitcoin to anyone else!

If someone directly pm to you asking help and pretend to be a girl he trying to scam so be careful trust no one.

also someone told me to check a link before you click on it. ie hover your mouse over the link and look at the link location that appears on the bottom left of your browser. if it doesn't start with https or if its really long, maybe don't trust it

Common traits of scammers are sweet talker, they are asking for money early on and they often give rocket sky promises.

Dont ever transact with strangers if you are not using escrow. Mostly scammers are hiding in a pretty girl profile pic or pretending to be a trusted by copying others reputable name.

I think of have all been scammed at least once. Or at least made some silly mistakes. Here is what happened to me.

When I first began bitcoin there were those investment sites that pay you out hourly. They were and of course are fake. But then I didn't fully realize and was making money off of one. After I withdrew my money and had had it there for almost 3 months I realized I better withdraw it and I did. I was very lucky to get my money back. I then tried payverts or whatever it's called I forgot the name. They are legit and paid out. I stopped using them because I felt I can make more without doing the extra work they want you to do clicking and opening ads. I once went from their site to a oonzi sore by mistake and was already making transactions and I forgot I was on the Ponzi site and deposit there and lost my money. I was dealing with a legit site then went to a Ponzi site so my mindframe was still with the legit site only after I deposit I realized I won't get it back and what I had done. I have also withdrawn the wrong coin to the wrong address and lost like that and I was bit by the scamsite etheriemwallet.net because I didn't understand how it worked and I was paid a large bounty in there and lost thousands of $$$ in bounty. Many people lost their eth too. Now I use myetherwallet and nothing else. I only use a wallet that gives me a Private key or I'm not interested. So learn from my mistakes and tripplr check hell check ten times if you must before sending transactions or doing anything with money. Be in a good mood frame. Not when you toted or upset or grumpy because that is when you lose money.

If you're buying or selling cryptos either use a well known exchange or do it in person and take some people with you, don't go alone. Also, if you want a personal transaction, don't invite people to your home. You don't want them to know where they can find more money

If you're trading goods use escrow, it all comes down to this one simple thing.
