The most common scam about bitcoin that you say is for 1/4/5 points, because it seems that it's often done by irresponsible people. and surprisingly there are still many who make this mistake and many believe it. and keeps repeating again, confusing too.

These scammer's strategies mostly target beginners for they aren't aware of the possibilities that might happen and they could believe in these strategies easily.
It's a good thing that you're sharing these things for awareness. We should really be aware all the time to get rid of these scammers.

OP, your title is a bit misleading. I rushed in here thinking I was going to read about the different types of scam only to get "Guides to avoiding different bitcoin scams"
Maybe you should consider changing the title to a more fitting one

There are so man bitcoin/cryptocurrency scams that one can't even exhaust all of them. The most recent ones are.
- Fake wallets and exchanges that can steal your coins
- Advanced malware in form of apps and browser extensions that can steal your login detail or private keys.
-  FAKE bitcoin forks meant to steal one's coins etc

Some of us have learned these things to experience. We could easily stay away from scammers if we don't trust people easily. Also, we must be keen and observant about people's intention around us. We should do some research before doing a certain step like choosing an exchange or a trading site. Being scammed is frustrating so we should protect our earnings.

3) Anybody calls you and says they are from your exchange and request for access/password,just hangup the call !

This is a very dangerous scam. It's common to receive emails from *exchanges* asking for personal details or asking the person to click a link to solve an issue or to claim a benefit.
Always think twice before clicking links you receive on email and always check the sender informations: there can be strange email terminations, or a letter out of place to trick the person.

I also agree to not invest your coins on websites who promises they return more because i think all of them are just hyip, i see a lot of video on YouTube where they recommend to invest bitcoin there and there.

Everything you say has touched on all actions that are not pleasing to be done, aka fraud, but indeed perhaps the most often done is to give a gift of bitcoin in an easy way but behind that you have to deposit some for reasons that are to be administered. I am fortunate to date that I have never been deceived, because I get used to diligently reading the forums here.

And surely more types of scam would be made because scammers are going to find a new way to get your crypto.
And also one more scam that is being used in telegram recently a stranger would contact you asking for help,
Then would ask to create an account on a trading site then you would see that your account would have a balance and when you are about to withdraw it the site would ask for deposit first.

You will be surprised that so many of these are on telegram channels, in fact, there is one dev that was scam by a guy pretending to be working on Yobit, I also received a lot of lucrative offers like accepting Bitcoin to my wallet in one exchange, if you are a newbie and you don't know how these scammers you could easily fall to it.

These are all safety precautions to all the holders and most of the holders know it aside from newbies, though some of the scammers are still using this old tactics to earn an easy money.

But as you see, the environment is keep on evolving and not only the holders, investors and project owners who evolved. The scammers also are evolving therefore you need to be wise and think twice before deciding to invest and use your hard earned money.

this is the obvious scam but the less obvious one that is common nowadays is the cases where they tell you they can help you "make profit" is an investment in some shitcoin they want to pump, in other words they don't take your bitcoins directly to their wallet, they instead take it from you indirectly by encouraging you to buy their sell orders of the shitcoin they want to dump!
they disguise it in form of "investment groups", or "signal channels", and things like that.

I agree, since beginners don’t have enough knowledge yet about bitcoin and these types of scams they tend to get persuaded easily by scammers about doing this and that. Scammers now are very intelligent and they’ve put a lot of effort to make it look like a legit one so we should be really careful who we transact with. On the other note, thank you for sharing this guide, it will serve as a reminder not only to me but to others as well to be more cautious in whatever we will be doing.

I am highlighting this one because I have seen a deluge of many member-generated advertisements in almost all related Facebook groups precisely praising a certain trader and how that trader change the course of the poster's financial life. The advertisements can be attractive especially to newbies who are not yet exposed to the evil of scammers and hackers online. Unfortunately, I also saw some complaints directed against those traders of how they were gone after the money or cryptocurrency is transferred to the account of the trader. We should always careful with people we are dealing with online because we don't really know who they are and their intentions. When the offer seems to be too good to be true then probably it is...so run and get out as much as you can!
