One of the type of scam :
Romance scam: This one is pretty difficult, as it plays on significant emotional attachment. However, try to keep in mind that if your hopeful romantic partner whom you've rarely met or never met asks you for large sums of money, it is at high risk of being a scam. Common excuses are funds to help pay for travel costs to see the victim, help to get property held by customs in a foreign country, and help for medical expenses. The supposed love interest is often in a different country entirely, making many of these setups possible.

Yeah, these are the best ways to avoid scams. But I think many people invest to buy scammy cryptocurrencies. Because most of the time they can’t understand which are fake or original. So, they got trapped.

That is not a valid excuse. No people will get trapped if all have due diligence in doing research.

I agree with your points that you described to avoid scams. These are the only way to avoid scams. Moreover, you people may attack by phishing. So, to avoid phishing, people should use linux or mac operating systems.

The way that are described are best way to avoid scam. Moreover, there are a lot of fake ICO projects that are available in the crypto market. People those who are working in those projects, invest a lot of money. But at last they lost all of them. So, the investors should be careful about that.

bitcoin is great for those who are scrupulous about studying and storing information, and is bad for those who do not feel responsible for their money

First of all you need to know something about blockchain system and you need to understand there are many scammers with many problems. A new joined person should learn about transactions and need to know there are no returning back in wrong transactions. Many people thinks that the system like banks have but unfortunately not..

And i recommended to use operation systems, like mac os or ubuntu, because windows subject to virus attacks much more than the above. I use mac os more then 2 years and didn't get any attack.

Agree with you Mac and ubuntu quit secure rather then Microsoft Windows and hackers also not active on linux

First of all you need a safe operation system and you can use mac os or ubuntu. Because sometimes windows can attack by virus. Peoples are using these two and they don't face attack.

Unrealistic offers or offers that looks beyond lucrative comparing the market should be avoided. Phishing web pages and fake digital wallets must be avoided. And one must be concern about the security of browser or computer
