I have been pondering about this for a while, how to protect ourselves from scammers,, please we need an answer from the experts in the house because someone will invest in a project, nurture the project and later make profit, someone from somewhere will just cart away everything just like that, so to avoid this we need a way to secure ourselves

there are many type of scams so different strategy for each of them
ico scam - you can save yourself from scam or ponzi ICOs by proper study on that project and cross check team details . check reviews also .
social media impersonators - easy to recognize but hard to avoid . since they offer greed , so you can easily find scammer which give you scheme like 1 ether for 0.1 ether etc .
phishing link - you can avoid this scam by opening proper URL after check , and save url in bookmark so that you open right one always .

The actual question, which today is really very important for people, but very few people now really do not understand how you can do this, I think that everything is very simple you just need to completely verify the developers and everything will be wonderful.

We can only protect ourselves from scam ICOs by being cautious and finding,researching and analysing details about any project we want to invest,  some get scammed because of their greed once they see massive offers from ICOs they don't bother to dig deep down on the project and probably background checkups for the team. In addition always trust your instincts, if something seems not to be real it probably isn't. Invest wisely.

now more and more fraud and that makes us as new members should be careful in determining a project and don't trust anyone to make an investment .. ask the admin or team a project is the best step if you want to make an investment

Liars are everywhere and scams are even more sophisticated. The way to protect yourself is to increase your ability to identify scams. To abandon greed, you need to know that most people who are getting rich quickly are scams.

Like any get-rich-quick scheme, bitcoin scams thrive on the gullibility of its victims. Just because it's a digital currency doesn't mean you can acquire wealth quickly.
Scamming is a problem in a digital world. Thieves are always there wherever wealth is. There are just lazy people who just want an easy way to get wealth. What are we going to do? Well sad to say, we should not trust anyone with our private keys and any other personal details.

To protect yourself from scammers, I suggest the following:
1. Always check your browser if there are suspicious links or websites.
2. In joining ICO, always have background check on the team's background.
3. In investing in coins, always make sure that it has value.
4. Never open any links that is sent on your email from untrusted coins' sites.

Always check the site you are always using and if possible avoid google when searching for the site because there are times when the ones that appeared are those scam sites with just one letter in the address different from the original one and its interface is just the same so if you carelessly input the password then you will be hack and all the coins that you hardly earned will be gone. After using a legit site, bookmark it and access it from there. Do not participate in HYIP as most probably it will be just a scam and you will lose your funds.

You are probably saying the total opposite. If you have found a site, the best thing to do is google that site. This way, if the site is actually not
 legitimate and a scam, you will find some reviews about it being a scam on some forum or blogs. Also, google most of the time can detect phishing sites and skips them from the search result.

Scammers became too active and we should deal with care all transactions and bounties to avoid scam.Before joining any bounty research properly and read white papers of the project,Avoid any attractive deal or news which they want some coins against it and check on your funds to secure with strong tools.

Got my account back! It was hacked. Sorry about it :|

certainly with often add information or insights into any good crypto it could avoid us from crypto who highly risky. Indeed many scam and of course it depends how in choosing and addressing so that most can not avoid or knows that it is a scam. trivial things like analyze and check the site, look at the team, check out the wallet of course being things that are important in crypto. a ride on the scam or could also be known of it.

Don't take every coin and ICO or program too easy. Make sure to learn, analyze, and research the truth. After the deep conversations, that is the best time for you to take or not. It is about the smart, wise, and patient way to face the scammers.

To protect ourselves from scammers , i think it's better to research more before joining one bounty or something. Be wise, and  it's also good idea if we ask the advice of people who is have a lot of experience than us. Smiley Smiley Wink

We can protect it by knowing the details of bounty to join in. Scammers are everywhere now, they always set for their ability to get our goods that's easy. Just be careful in choosing bounties, I prefer if you have a friend that is expert in this matter and ask advice.

Being rich or having wealth will be not easy. It will require so many efforts. Regarding the scammers on this crypto, I'm sure that they are really big. But in case, we must be sure that with enough smart and consideration including by analyzing the token or products, we can pass the scammers. We don't need to know them but we must against them and prove the better.

I also think that many people are cheated because of blind investment. Many people only see the profits of the market. They see that many people invest in cryptocurrency and earn a lot of money, but they do not see the dangers in this market, false agency, false ICO, The ever-changing tricks! If you are not careful, you will suffer loss of property! Investment needs to be cautious! Everyone must be careful!

The best way to protect ourselves from fraud, Scammers are generally smart and that is why some people become victims, but I can remind them clearly during the period when I use to invest in a very high yield investment program, yet we need to research about ourselves and never trust someone who promises us to make it get richer in such a fast way ....
