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 kind of scenario is already familiar with almost all members of this forum, that's why many screw services are made because of this all scammers that are rambling around in this forum. But i don't like the idea of a "low posting number" is a sign of a scam specially for newbies, because all of the members of this forum starts with the rank of a newbie and we all starts with nothing or lacks of knowledge about crypto currency. That's why we inter into this world to know all the best and safest way of earning money using crypto currencies.
Yeah a low post number or your rank is not a sign of being untrustworthy, this assumption is why scammers can get away with many scams by buying accounts, an user may be a newbie but if it has completed many trades with more established members then that is a sign of a trustworthy person but no matter the circumstances when it comes to bitcoin we need to always use escrow.

We should really be vigilant into all people we do make engagements online or making transaction between them. Only trust yourself when it comes to online world and always do seek out for the reputable persons online and if you have doubts we can really use up escrows which is really advisable anytime,might have the fee but its much better than to make a risky trades among other people.

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).
actually will be very visible when some people are doing a scam. we should have understood the signs or actions of those who would only be scammed because we would have been able to differentiate about just spamming posters and about those with high quality posts. it is the simplest thing to distinguish

escrow does not guarantee us from scam, but only minimize scam.

it is true that scammers are everywhere but we must remain cautious and if we doubt it better we do not go in, I think escrow is not part of deception but to minimize the occurrence of fraud.

This goes without saying, No One wants to lose their investments or get defrauded by another individual.
It is important to always be vigilant when selecting an ICO.
And NEVER exchange tokens P2P. Don't do it.

People who offers anything of value but want to receive money first are purely scam. Whether it is crypto or not, never give any money to people you don't know. Use logic first before greed. I also encounter this kinds of things when I'm looking for online jobs. Pay before work? No way!

You want to invest on the ICO project means read the complete team information and review and rating of the project first bro. Then you will be able to get the good project which can give you the decent income with the investment and it may go higher also after it has been listed.
Then I want to say that please ignore the promotional offers which is coming in airdrop and free tokens because most they scam the users and leave with the fund collected mate.

Before you deal with someone you need to use escrow for the both safety of buyer and seller. Escrow can make you more safe instead of deal without using escrow. There's a lot of scammer now you need to be careful because wrong decision you made you lose your money and you will get back you capital. Escrow is very helpful to us they have free escrow service and they have small fees.

It’s true that having a “low post number” does not exactly mean that one is a scammer however this has given the notion that the user is not trustworthy enough. Many times a scammer would create a new account in dealing with his illegal transactions so as to avoid getting a red trust in their original account or so that the new account is easily disposable once it gains a negative trust.

It is not all about internet, I think that we should be careful in any field of life. For instance I lost $35000 in real estate investment. The owner of the shops knew that the property is not owned by him but he didn’t tell me about this. He took my money and disappeared. I have been scammed once, now I am very careful about any investment in any sector.

Yeah you are right and this is a big problem. Many new users get betrayed on the name of different kinds of gifts and there is nothing actually. I think there should be a check on such sites, so that people could be safe from these sites. In crypto investment I never trust on new ICO because I am afraid of scams and that happened many times whit new crypto.

Scams are happening everywhere and if we are not taking appropriate action against them then there could be no chances for us to escape from them. Gifts and luck draw kind of scams are very old but unfortunately people are still falling to it. That shows how aware they are and how much they have updated their knowledge.

In crypto investment I never trust on new ICO because I am afraid of scams and that happened many times whit new crypto.
You cannot leave off all the new ICOs in one single stroke. You must take time to analyze each and every project based on different criteria so that you may invest safely. Filtering out inappropriate ICOs may help to find a right one in quick time.

Yes it is always possible that trader or trading some item to another will be resulting into scam so escrow are so important. Having an escrow is important but there is always basis or proof to be come a escrow. So be careful always.

We can avoid those scams by always checking first if they are legit or not by asking some evidence of their previous transactions. When transacting with people here on the forum that is not yet reputable or trusted, escrow would be preferable and if they do not accept it then you can find another one that would accept your conditions. When joining a bounty campaign, check first if the manager can be trusted, the project is viable and the team is responsive to the questions because through this way, you will know if they are knowledgeable.

Yeah thanks for reminded us.. and it's not only that, now scammers more increasingly a various forms of its deception. Anyhow internet is the one of the scam's media that's really suitable for a scammers.. and of course scams forms in cyberspace, it's harder to read or researched than scam in the real world. Sometimes someone who doesn't intend to scam, but we consider it a scam and vice versa. Well in essence we've to be a more smarter person.
Unfortunately this is the reality of this space, you cannot ever let your guard down, there are people trying to scam you and there are others sending phishing links and if you click on them you risk losing money as well, this is why sometimes people in the forum may seem to be paranoid about stuff but the truth is they are only trying to protect themselves and others of being scammed.
