Watch out for the scams out there

[player514]

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.

This shouldn't be new information to anyone with common sense or access to these forums. If you're going to get scammed, you're obviously going to get scammed by someone who tries their best to get your money without involving any other people and someone who is able to ghost very quickly. Since people can make accounts here for free and without any IP restrictions, you'll often see people spamming accounts here. I still think there should be some really big sticky somewhere on the marketplace about safer ways to trade (or some warning in large text somewhere).

So much direct to the point Sir, but I think they have restriction of IP address specially in Signature Campaign and many more. That's why they investigate all their participant to avoid multi account. Correct me if that is wrong.

yeah, i know that there are any scammer, the best scammer that i know is like they ask them your private key of your address and they will give you any etherum or bitcoin or token, after you give your private key they will gone with your bitcoin or eth or token that you have in that wallet, so be careful there are many scammers

If you are doing transactions through bitcointalk, you may have already paid attention that we got blessed with something called "trust system".

The trust system gives us the option to untrust or trust someone, and it gives warnings to other people who may deal with him in the future.
The trust system is raiting based, which makes it safe to rely on, making it very hard for people to abuse the system by giving false trusts.

Always look at the trust raiting before dealing with someone.

Trust rating would really be a good sign that you are really transacting on a legit person but checking its legit feedbacks should really be always related on trading thing because there are some trust feedbacks isnt really related but still a good sign that you are making transaction on some good guy. Always check and if you do have doubts you can always ask the community.

Of course, if I knew where I could be deceived, I would have asked for help, but for today it's possible to get to every corner So that you lose everything. I think that only care can reduce the risks of being deceived.

fraud occurs because we are too confident in the promises made by others without us clarifying the facts that happened

Actually not all newbies or new users are doing scams it is not based on their post count. Let me give you a scenario what if a head company only heard the bitcointalk forum just recently and make an account in order to hire managers to work for them? See? here are some of the signs you need to observe in order to avoid scams.

1. No matter what the rank is if he's willing to do transaction with escrow. It's legit.
2. Look for the quality of his/her posts. You will know if he/she is a professional by looking at his/her post (Not all some of the big companies tries to scam too.)
3. Look for his/her background information (But of course we're in the internet, we don't know exactly who's behind it.)
4. If it's a company or project manager, look at the projects background, reviews and team.
5. Most of the legit peoples or companies will post the escrowed fund (But of course not all.)
6. They will hire a reputable managers (There's a high chance that if they hire reputable manager it's legit because most of the reputable managers review the project first)

we do have different basis in my case here's the thing i look for before investing to something, starting to transact etc.

Yeah brother all the signs you have mentioned here are very important and helpful to avoid such scams. It is natural that not all the people are scammers and not all are legit. Some people want to make money in easy way and to betray innocent people who do not aware of their tricks.

Many people have lost their money in the hands of these scammers like there are thousands of jobs on lime but most are scams and do not pay to its workers. Thanks for such nice information.

Look out when people are not willing to do escrow, they don't use it because they plan to scam you and with escrow they can't do it. There are many signals that someone wish to scam you, but scammers are more tricky and they hide them selves better and better, its not always easy to spot a scammers.
Low posting number works sometimes, but accounts are being sold, accounts with positive trust rating, and then this accounts with high number of posts and positive trust rating offer something and you try to buy it.
The best thing to do is to use escrow, that is step number one, next is be transparent, scammers don't like transparent things.

I remember when i join this fake izanagi account which has telegram also and scams people. Gladly we manage to get out because of the people join telegram to burst the truth. I think they just want some free signature. Lets just double the alertness on the doubled amount of scammers today.

No they haven't that such feature about restricting the same address this is why this forum has been flooded by lots of multiple accounts which you can barely notice to those account who do abuse signature campaigns.Its sad to think but it is indeed the reality on whats happening as of now. If you do try to look on reputation section you would notice about those accounts being caught on joining or abusing campaigns..

People with bad intentions to others will take this advantage to do their illegal activity in the internet. They might shown in their white paper the best offer or profit that couldn't imagine, to hook you up and get your trust and then disappear. So watch out guys for this particular people. Do research first. Thanks

All scammers are selfish they do things that they know that they can earn money using others work.
All they want is money, i hate all scammers, if ever i have a powers i will make them vanished forever.
Thats why i always search first all the project i join.
I hope all scammers will also scam by another scammers, so that they will feel what is the feeling of being scammed. It would be great if this thing will happen.

As crypto is about anonymity and knowledge.some people scam other new people to crypto world.hackers got a new job to scam new user in crypto which is more profitable that there previous work.with increasing demand of cryptocurrency more user will likely to fall for ongoing scams.

[felipe04]

To avoid scam i always create new account and i don't do investing if the mining or bounties need to invest because there's a lot of way here to earn even without investing like in faucets and campaign,you can also trust many exchanger here to earn with investing in many coins not like other that need to register first to earn in there site like airdrops or mining.

I've encountered many ways to attempt to scam not just me but many people. Within just a year, I can easily identify if they are going to scam me or not. It's not just on this forum, it can be anywhere. It can be online or outside the real world too.

I think we all have to alert. for the escrow wants to be used to reliable least got the belief public. if want to use the services of escrow may use already has a good reputation of its users. escrow help direct transaction between user so be safe. sometimes problems such as it is not only of escrow but also the seller. make sure that the seller has a good reputation, so that we don't be fooled to make a purchase

Some of the scams it is obvious to see, some are a bit harder to spot. USing escrow moves the trust to the Escrow - if you use a good escrow you are pretty well protected - but you have to make sure you are using a good escrow - because some scammers try to catch unsuspecting people here too.

Correct avoid investing in hype and other cloud mining is one of the best way to avoid scammer because that is the in demand way of scamming yhose investors and their target is newbie and greedy people who want to earn quick income.
Correct also that many free method that we can earn good amount of income which we do not need to pull out our money in our pocket to earn just put an effort and time then money will comes to you.

At present, the crypto market is developing very strong, this is a large space for fraudsters to take over the assets of investors. Recently, I have been aware of a series of hacker attacks that infiltrated the systems to steal information, coin pockets, bitcoin ransoms. More scams. Investors should be cautious with their assets. Keep important information as carefully as possible.
