Really good article that I think people, especially young and new investors should read up on.
https://medium.com/@gerard_blueteam/how-to-keep-yourself-protected-from-crypto-scams-e44aa0576940

Good article though. I have an experience in being cheated by a scam. I am sure everyone might be aware of the guy who came in December 2018 with a campaign "C". A very bad experience. Thanks god that none invested in. We were asked to invest minimum $50 in 'C'. Address was provided. Everyone was disappointed on X-Mas and on New Year eve. Thanks god he did not prolong it with his lovely tricky words. Though we are aware of scams and share experience how to identify a scam, we still get caught. Need to be so pro-active.

Good share! Thank you.
Might I add: Not replying on unsolicited e-mail, DM/PM. I see a lot of scammers on telegram trying to impose as admins or team-members.

I advise you to be careful with the free distribution of coins (Air Drops). Very often this is fraud.

The only way to protect it is to not let anybody know your password or just simply write it on a piece of paper and hide it on a vault. And if you are familiar with the new way to protect with your password it is the 2FA verification and then make sure your password contains with mixed of capital and small letters with numbers in it to make sure it is stronger than your previous password. But make sure you are using a safe computer before logging in to avoid any phishing attacks, just install any antivirus, it will protect you from being phished.

One short tip I can give aside from what's listed inside is, when you fell suspicious on the transaction and smell something is fishy on the project, group or individual then turn down the offer as early as possible.

You cannot find the person fishy as it is mate. You need to have a proof or the review from the previous user of the concern project or website. For this I have found the website called badbitcoin.org/badlist
Here you can find the n number of websites which has been scammed the people through out this world.
After I suggest some services which are all mostly being scammy one. cloud and browser mining, mining equipment reseller site, doubling website, casinos and sports betting website as well. Please read the website details before you join any of these projects.

one of the most effective ways to protect us from fraud is we must be able to keep passwords do not leak and passwords that do not only use numbers or letters only if we can make numbers and letters one and we do not easily believe about token offer for free because maybe it is a fraud. basically in this cryptocuerreny world we have to be careful.

https://medium.com/@gerard_blueteam/how-to-keep-yourself-protected-from-crypto-scams-e44aa0576940
Recommended is really for everyone not just for those who are new to the crypto world but for those who have long been in the world crypto sometimes love to forget things like this because they feel it is the most true, yes once again good, if that have read try to further dig again in order to avoid something called fraud, but actually articles are common to me but do not know for them, yes more diligent again to dig important information like this do not be lazy to search not just want to post and add activities only .

I think the best way to avoid scam is too invest with a very low amount of money. The amount should just value for a single meal or or just a transportation fare for you to get home. Because you will use it to gain experience in determining scams and you can now protect yourself after that.

Scammer is always a scammer and its very difficult to recognized them, to minimize the failure of joining in any investment platform is to study and research regarding their programs and their capability and by investing the amount that you are able to loss just in case you entered in wrong investment.

In order to protect yourself from crypto scam, always be vigilant and never trust anyone on the internet.  If something seems too good to be true, it’s usually a scam.  Don’t send your hard earned cryptocurrency to anyone over the internet. Even if the account claiming to give you free coins is the real account of the social influencer or crypto figure, you can’t discount the possibility that their account may be compromised by a hacker.

It's just a simple way to avoid the crypto scam so we should be able to scour the beautiful ICO project you'll be able to get through you to avoid scammers who know I can not easily scanners but that's just how you approach it.

Before investing in any ICO project, or buying any coin or token, I take my careful time studying the project and making sure it have good value and potential, and only after doing this I invest or buy.
This way I minimize the risks of lossing because I select the most promising coins and tokens which generally reach some level of success.
