The thing here is that most people are usually the ones that give the scammers the chance to still be able to have an upper hand in getting whoever they want to get as long as there are greedy people looking for easy ways out to get rich overnight.

People in these categories have always been known over the years to be the victim of scams and the painful part to it is that they just do not learn and all they do is whine about some decisions they ended up making and how scammers are huge in the system, but not knowing what they should do themselves to stay clear off the scammer radar.

If people have little bit of common sense then most of the scams can be avoided because most of the scammers aleady have negative trust or untrusted feedback and also if they don't have we may assue they are scammer from the offer they are making and always remember that you need to look for an escrow when you ment a person on online for trading or exchanging.

This market a lot of these scammers and you can see the scam news a lot in the press. Be careful in your dealings and investments, keeping in mind your coin purse is the safest and limiting to many properties on the Exchange.

First rule to do trade is finding good repeatable escrow (Never do single trade without escrow) and the best choice is to use bitcointalk escrows services because it was proven over years . use below link :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18640

nowadays new security systems and escrow platforms launched. and also most buy sell websites have built in escrow system. freelancing sites also have escrow system. for bitcoin and Crypto trading using Bitcointalk escrow is good. but I would advise trading in a trusted trading platform such as localbitcoin and other crypto exchanges.
it'll give you full security.

Yeah you are right; scammers also give such benefits that are too much for a new coin and project. Checking the project is mandatory before investing your money in it. by doing this you will be safe. Never trust anybody easily because they will show you a shining future, but the facts are different from what he offers. I always invest in bitcoin or Ethereum.

The only way anyone can easily identify scam most especially when it comes to ICO is to be able to take a deep look on the team for starters. You cannot expect something serious from a team that is non serious or looks unreal and in that case, you really do not want to be investing your money in such places.

Scammers tend to use fake profiles most of the time, and they will always end up leaving some footprint as there is no way they can ever get it right like when a team is doing the real thing. Secondly, the product availability helps a lot, but you really want to check if it is even a product worth investing in, in the first place.

There are thousands of cryptos in the market and it is very hard to find out the scam coins. to avoid such coins the best thing is never to invest in new coin. Always invest your money in authentic and reliable coins like bitcoin, Ethereum, ripple, etc. these are the best coins in the market and you will be mentally relaxed with your investment. don’t try to try anonymous coins.

Well, knowing that there are so many fraudsters out there, what is everyone doing to try as much as possible to subdue the fraudulent activities. It is always easy for scammers to have their way as long as we will keep getting non smart people who tend to just get driven towards their greed and then at the end of the day, instead of knowing how to identify certain things as being too good to be true, or not being too good to invest, they just opt into it blindly anyway.

I think that to be able to avoid a scam right now is very difficult, there are so many people who look good but they run away and run away from our money, for transactions it is better to try to ask DT members who are here to help transactions that can be safer and make sure you have more than 300 green trusts.

People have to be careful but I think people have become too paranoid, some people think every single person is a scammer looking to take their money.  I think thats a horrible way to live your life with all that negativity.

Look out for the people who arent willing to do escrow. Their will be guys coming on here promising you any gift card but you first must send them money. First sign is low posting number. There is a lot of signs showing someone may be a scam.
There are really a lot of scammers out there and we should really aware of this, if you already know that they are scammers then just ignore them, don't enter at the first place, you already know how to know who's the scammers and not. If they aren't willing to do escrow then stop following them already.

well, that can only in that amount of time you get to visit check some scams available and what people are saying about it but not necessarily a way to just keep monitoring every project as that is something you might keep having to do on your own.

Although, learning how to identify scams sometimes after familiarizing oneself with this thread can always come in handy but the best way to identify scam is to be able to dig deeper into things that most people are always not eager to deep in as long as they are comfortable with the sweet returns or something. Most times for scams, it is always too good to be true.

I have good experiences with green trust members or members, who already got feedbacks. Mostly they offer themselves escrow service. But your warning is useful for newcomers or members, who didn't trade yet and we can't warn enough to not dealing with untrusted members who refuse escrow.

Having a green trust was an advantage actually, but I'm not saying those who don't that trust is not trustworthy. Its not what I mean either for you able to know. But reality happened now was most of the bounty managers who don't have that privilege was low in rank only few of them were in the end of their project became successful.

I don't believe escrows. My worry is the persistent scam ICOs on Ethereum contract. I think this is the major threat to cryptocurrency adoption. And the way to reduce it is by creating programs that will stop the random creation of token by making every project register in before creation of token, it will enable us know the real persons behind every project and apprehend them when they act dubious.
