wow, is this true, would you like to share the link mate ?
people should becarefull and don't fall again to all kind of high yield investments program with crypto as their main product such as bitconnect and others

of course everyone must be careful about the investment we will make. scam project is everywhere, it makes us actually lazy to invest in new assets that have very little trust from investors. it will be more convincing to invest in coins in a reliable exchange.
Not only crypto is fraudulent but in life or in any field, always be careful because they are very brave to do anything to take everyone's money by force, in crypto most people want to be cheats because most people who enter crypto space are many new people and they are very easy to do anything without re-examining each project so that fraud is naturally everywhere.

Yes, maybe it's a good choice by buying clearer coins and in a more reliable and large exchange in the world, but returning to self-security because all the keys are in you and don't open the site indiscriminately because maybe it's a trap , it's better to keep it in a special wallet.

Thanks for sharing this information. However in reality, it's very tough to find the scan at it's early stage. Hope there will be some way to find out very soon to prevent this kind of scams.

Yeah, this is very true. The sad thing is that these infi is highly needed by people who don't know much yet about cryptos but unfortunately they don't have access to them and by the time they really understand the game, they might have been scammed. Nevertheless, we in crypto right now should be very cautious and careful so we don't fall into the hands of these swindlers.

You realize you were describing a ponzi hyip, right? No serious ICO would ever guarantee exponential returns on investment, and secondly, no legit investment would ever require you to refer individuals.

These are simple red flags to look out for, once you see those kinds of promises, don't waste time looking for legalities or due diligence. Just ditch them and if possible mark them for scams so others don't fall for it.

Assuring high ROI is really one big red flag. You can't be so sure how your project will perform in the market especially when we are talking crypto investments.
I have seen in the masternode projects giving you 1000+% ROI, and that's their main attraction.
This will only be true if the project will do good in terms of actual development and have active traders. Else, they are just for easy money of the dev.
And though referral is not really a bad one but it should not be a requirement per se.

This is obviously true. As the market started showing signs of recovery, with the major coins experiencing an uptrend, many scammers eloped out of their hiding places. I recently saw Bitconnect 2.0 with a countdown to launching date and I laughed. Some gullible crypto enthusiasts keep falling prey. Guys, let's be guided not to fall for common scams, especially those which take advantage of one's greed.

The last price drop left blank square for scammers. The number of scam projects on the market has increased considerably, which has led to the ICO being called scam. But, as the market has been improving, we may think it will decrease.

Only with searching more about the information, we could prevent the scam that might comes to us.
But still, the scams will always search the next target to trick and get the money.
We cannot remove them from the crypto or other aspects because as long as there is money involved, the scams will always be there.
Just be careful and make sure you can search for more information about the news and you will be safe.

Scams in crypto space often occur, Very many also become victims of this fraud. Therefore, we must always be careful and not easy to believe in the person who sent us the message, especially on the telegram. Because they took the name of the project and committed fraud. So in the future it must always be vigilant so that this does not happen again to others.

Yes this is the time the people also need to be careful than the normal time because we can get the profit for good investment and our mind says that we can invest in different currencies and the new upcoming projects giving the promotion like it will be the future at that time we can fall into the scam that's why we need to be careful in this situation.

Up or down, scammers will never leave this world. In a bull market scammer won't just run away from investors but also listing their token on some exchanges (could be popular exchanges) in order to get more money. Even though they list their token and make them looks trustworthy, people will be eventually in a loss (when they are busted).

You are right, scammers always will be on this world, i think the main fault is from parents education and also the second faults belongs to governments which not give a good opportunity to get enough money when work.

Surely scammers would be acrive at this time as the price of every crypto is raising again.
They would try all of the methods that they could use so we should really be careful on everything that we do.
There are also many other ways that scammer and hacker could get you.
First of is phishing a very popular and old trick but other still falls victim to these,
The only way to avoid it is to check if you are visiting the right site.
Second is virus be careful of the links and files that you would download cause you might end up having one.

It is usually at times like this cryptocurrency becomes more popular and you will start seeing mouth watering scams promising you so many earnings in return for one simple scam task or the other.

I can confirm this by how I get numerous mails in my inbox asking me to fill a form and so many things that are obvious scams but are very convincing enough to still a newbie's money.
As my rule number one, do not be too greedy, no one will give money for free on the internet. We all have families/friends so if we had something to give out, it should have been them so think twice. Even if you give 1 cent out on the internet with the aim of getting higher rewards, it means you are defrauded which I do not want it to ever happen to me.

No matter what we advise, we have so many investors or people that are just bound to be a victim because they don’t listen to advise, so this scam is not something that ordinary advise can curb, I think they need to fall victim for them to learn.

The rate at which everyone has tried there possible best raising alarm from time to time, it’s sad that bounty manager, hunters are still encouraging them and not doing their research before promoting, investors too by now should have been focusing on already existing projects for investment, it is better to research on those ones than pre ico projects.

It is very nice to create awareness for the crypto community towards th scam activities that might be taking place in this time just to make sure that the money of innocent persons are exploited since most of them don't really know about crypto and just coming in for the first time because they heard that it is possible to make millions of dollars in the crypto space, let us beware of scammers and do everything possible within our powers to make sure we expose their work even before they begin operation or scam anyone.

Only mind and attentiveness can protect people from investing in fraudulent projects. Before you give someone your money, you need to carefully study the project, its team, all the documentation, ask a lot of questions on the project’s social networks, see how the administrators react and respond to them. Explore professional project reviews and do much more. And only after all of the above, you can make a decision on investing in the project.

I myself got scam by Icenter. I knew it was ponzi-like scam, thinking I can exit before I got ripoff BUT they were cleverer and exited before I could.
You see, this is how many people that has fallen a victim of these scam ico has operated in this industry, they tend not to do enough research or go for quality project before investing, and they pick project randomly by just assuming it will be a good one or one that they can quickly take advantage of even if they are bad.

The way you think is the way many other thinks out there, so you might not be lucky to be the first that will be successful in the game before it blows out, would it not have been better you invested that money in bitcoin or top 20 coin than the way you lost it deliberately on this project?
