   Precisely, it shows how hard time spending to read and acknowledge to gain knowledge by reading and spreading accurate suggestion. In fact it is a good behavior that must everyone have done. Only those lazy people woluld be catch by the scammers but those who has a luck of wisdom will evade those who are intentionally scammers. These 5 methods are preferablly good advice for everyone who penetrate crypto as a support fund and not to be scammed.

[bitbunnny]

Everything that you have numbered is correct. And I also think that many people are very well aware of these facts.
Still when it comes to real situation they somehow lose common sense and tend to be very naive, not to say fullish.
Anyway, if you want to avoid scams be suspicious and performe due dilligence. And everything that sounds too good to be true, it isn't true so pay attention to that.

[abhi777]

I would like to thank you for the good useful pieces of advice. I think that I will be able to avoid any btc scams after reading your post. I agree with all the points mentioned there and wish to find more posts like this one here

how to avoid bitcoin fraud is not easy to be fooled by an easy thing, be careful with suspicious links, be careful of ads from Google, avoid offers that do not make sense, do not download from suspicious sites, separate the E-Wallet computer from Daily Computer.

[ajaymukund]

These are great ways for newcomers to BTC like me. Before I knew about BTC, I was very suspicious that one day hackers would steal my confidential documents, but reading this article made me feel safer, more careful. When I am proficient in BTC trading, I will learn more about this to avoid unfortunate circumstances 

[HODLER_TECH]

It is worth adding that it is worth paying attention to whether the software we use to cryptocurrencies is Open Source. Without this, we must trust the publisher that the keys are actually only on our device and are not sent anywhere. Almost all popular wallets have a closed source or "partially open" and they have hundreds of thousands of users. There is no reason to close the source of the wallet software in my opinion.

[sheenaedago]

Before I knew about BTC, I was very suspicious that one day hackers would steal my confidential documents, but reading this article made me feel safer, more careful. When I am proficient in BTC trading, I will learn more about this to avoid unfortunate circumstances 

 Nothing else will be done to avoid scammers, read more harder the articles and threads that may lead to have a great wisdom in return for a safety. But becaming lazy will lead on scammers, those who are lack of wisdom, are easy to catch scammers. So, I bet having more knowlegde is the most safest way.

[taisaoem1380]

Well. I see your post very interesting. It's very necessary for newbie. Thank You

[carlisle1]

This post is really good and will benefit the crypto currency investors. Moreover there is no chance to do scam in bitcoin so such technics should be applied when investing in a new project or altcoins. Bitcoin is reliable and reputed.

Its not the bitcoin that will scam noob,but the people who is longing for bitcoin from the people who holds bitcoin.

But this is such a great post to help each and everyone to prevent ourselves from becoming a victim of scammers as we know that they are everywhere in this community that only waiting for a right chances

[royalfestus]

Dont ever be afraid to ask question on what you don't know. you might need to search the bitcoin past discussions to see cases of scam in the past and how to avoid it, these are one the reasons of the forum not only for money making. Sometimes the forum moderators can be approached through messages (PM) if you find it difficult to trust anyone on the thread. They have a track record of honesty and wont want to dent their integrity. I hope in the future more measures and laws will be created to punish criminals on cryptocurrency.

[AniviaBtc]

Well said, these are the key factors or ways to avoid getting scammed, avoidance is a must and scams are the things that makes people think that BTC and crypto should be avoided at any cost, and that is based on my own experience sharing my thoughts to my friends.

Said factors are really needed but i guess we only need one thing. Based on my experience, i have been scammed a lot, i have been hacked a lot and i have been spending a lot just to get rid of the crypto hype back then. Make it slowly but surely, it is okay to get too long, do not mind the advertisements instead use the internet for a reliable searches.

[Yadstiker]

I think the following 5 ways will help you avoid cheating bitcoin.
1. Have a strong password.
2. Always check before transaction.
3. Verify true-fake.
4. Use cold wallets.
5. Do not trust, always verify before transaction.

This is the best way to do if you don't want to loose your bitcoin and make sure that you have 2FA authentication in your email or any accounts so that's no one can easily access in your accounts.

[stayeduptolate]

As interest in digital currencies increases such as Bitcoin, more and more Bitcoin scams promise high returns. Unrealistic lure is clearly a mere cover, and usually ends with the loss of clients' funds. Fraud often spreads in social circles based on trusted relationships. Therefore, we must be aware that there are cunning fraudsters who can actively seek ways to deceive with absurd tricks and offers.

How to avoid bitcoin scams :

You don't need to rush to decide whether an investment product is a scam or not. All you need to do is, take a moment to find complete information about the project. The easiest way to do this is to find information in the form of company details or Whitepaper (if ICO), and other things related to the investment product. Learn all the details carefully and do some research on testimonials, comments, and so on. Another way is to join a Bitcoin forum like Bitcointalk, and immediately ask for credibility of an investment product or company to other members.

2. Avoid Unrealistic Offerings

Usually, crypto currency fraud can disguise its identity by using a social media account or advertising banner that looks professional. Mark Steward, director of FCA law enforcement, explained that when people become more skeptical of the real world regarding investment and consumer habits have changed, investment fraud has moved into the realm of Online and social media.

How to avoid this Bitcoin Scam is, you are better selective about all investment offerings from the Online platform that you did not ask for, whether through social media, email, or even by telephone. Even if it looks official, pay attention to how it is offered. Con artists usually dare to promise high profits to lure victims. So if you feel the promise of profits is unrealistic, immediately ignore the proposed offer.

3. Beware of Phising Web Pages

Increased interest in crypto currencies makes many new investors enter the market. Lots of land in a fake landing page that claims to be a popular digital currency exchange platform. One example is the one that uses the Punycode technique. Through this method, the fake domain 'xn - inance-hrb [dot] com' can be displayed as 'ƅinance [dot] com'. This technique is usually able to deceive consumers, because web pages can look really like the original. You can overcome this by being aware of vulnerabilities that exist in internet browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Opera,

4. Beware of Fake Digital Wallets

Fake virtual wallets often appear online or at the mobile app store. In the example of a fake Wallet fraud that happened, more than $ 3.3 million was stolen from users who want to claim their Bitcoin Gold. To anticipate similar events, many Bitcoin Wallet providers caution clients to be aware of the cloning of scammers who want to steal victim funds by imitating their appearance.

MyEtherWallet for example, warns customers about fake MyEtherWallet in December. In addition, before choosing a digital wallet provider, do research first. Please share opinions on leading crypto forums, both local and foreign. In essence, only use the Wallet provider with a good track record.

5. Beware of Bitcoin Thief Malware

Malware is something that concerns computer owners. But now, a new category of malware capable of stealing Bitcoin-related data has appeared. Malware authorized by the computer owner is able to record typing or search for a file with the keyword "Account", "Password", "Bitcoin", "Wallet", or other keywords specified by the author, then upload the file to an anonymous server automatically.

In addition, there is also a malware that seeks to absorb the computing power of computer users to mine crypto. Anticipating this, YouTube is trying to deactivate ads that take computing power to mine crypto currencies. It is believed, after users see the related ad videos, the computer becomes slow and there will be warnings from anti-virus programs. Malware like this can steal up to 100% of computing power to mine crypto currencies (generally Monero). The solution that can be applied here is to install strong anti-virus protection and active Firewall to protect the computer.

The most important reason for being bitcoin so successful and so popular is that bitcoin promises to provide the safest and the most confidential transactions as its transactions does not involve any third party seizure so no third person is able to see the transaction between the two and thus it provides user anonymity to its investors but I think no third person involvement is misused by some people and they thus steal others bitcoin so the best way to be age is to never share your passwords and keys to anyone.
