In general, the only advice that will help you get rid of fraudsters in cryptocurrency. Exit cryptocurrency. All residual tips will not help. At any time, you can make a mistake and lose money. Grin

if you think you are not good at holding the cryptocurrencies that you should exit from it don't ask others to do. This tips are not rocket science for the common people to understand just having common sense I will save you from scam attacks from the blatant scammers.Get the responsibility because its your money and don't get attracted by any offers which are the possible scams.

what you have to keep in mind is the product they have, because if their products are running maybe they will even grow so their coins will always be needed and the coins will continue to be traded with offers that continue to increase.

mainly traders should be aware of hacks as they will be doing many transactions and mostly coins will be in online and we should know that scammers also know this points so they will come up with new ideas so beware

You should always be aware of scammers, especially on Telegram and E-mails. I am getting like 20 spam emails per day, asking for contribution. Never reply or click on links in such emails, because you will lose your money guys.

All the tips that mentioned above was good to follow to avoid being scam. So in addition, you really have to be aware and smart of choosing a coins or a project to ne joined in. Another tip is to make sure that yoi really understands the projects whitepaper before adopting it because scammers are so tricky and can get your attention as well. So lastly to avoid being scam, be knowledgable on the idea of eveey project you were supposed to participate. I can leave here a really good project amd hundred percent not a scam. This project was so beneficial and this is the dencoin tokens.

Point #10, not all link on our email will become phising or malware. The best way to save your activity on email is
* Check email sender
* Right clicks anchor link, copy url address and paste to note/notepad than double check URL.

Point #12, many exchange and good projects not listed on coinmarketcap. Even their projects listed on coinmarketcap, no one guarantee if they wouldn't become a scam. Another solution is find another way like ANN bitcointalk thread to find official website link or google it.

Of all the tips you wrote, everything is good and certainly must be done, but on the 5th point it is a little ambiguous because I myself keep the private wallet key on the computer in the form of RAR and password, and it is very safe and I also make copies to external hard drives

12. To get official website links of exchanges or crypto projects you can get it from coinmarketcap.
Not every exchange listed on coinmarketcap are good. You have to be aware that there are exchanges listed there that you can't rely on. Still base on the review and experience of others but if you don't want to, be cautious when trying them.

10. Never click any website link from your email.
And never click a website from a stranger.

Ok one merited you for this I know some of these points I'm interested in your good bounties and group I'm pretty sure you are fully aware that there are useless airdrops and bounties here and you know what to look for a good one, better create an official thread here for those who can log in in their telegram.

The article is very good and complete for newcomers, I think if people are willing to learn and equip themselves with important knowledge about the crypto market, they will not lose money. But tricks of scammers are increasingly sophisticated, so we must always learn to avoid losing money unjustly.

Thanks for this information, I think it might help newbies. The most important rule is to always be careful and not to believe in freebies. However, new forms of fraud appear all the time, you should be prepared for this.

In general, the only advice that will help you get rid of fraudsters in cryptocurrency. Exit cryptocurrency. All residual tips will not help. At any time, you can make a mistake and lose money. Grin

There are many people who never get scammed in the crypto world. Btw, for those who make mistakes, not all of them lose a significant amount of money and are able to continue their journey well. Bad things can happen but that doesn't mean that we have to give up. If we are careful enough, the opportunity to face bad experiences can be eliminated.

Thank you for all the tips you've shared with us. All of it are worth to think about. But for me in addition with all the mentioned tips above. We have also consider thing like reviewing or studying whatever that project is. Bevause nowadays as the market is really fast growing so as the scammers. So dont make an easy trust to many project that dint assure your security. Because scammers and scam project aren't rare, so only trust project which can provide not only good profit but also they must have a good whitepaper, good teamleader that runs the said project like the Aci Coins tokens to avoid us from being scammed.

The truth is there is no way to escape all this your advice ,mistakes are born to be make so it doesn't safe anyone from losing his or her coins ,mistakes will be made and coins will always bes lost but good advice overall
But it can be avoided if we are so keen to our move and never forget or if you forget try to make a plan B just in case. Everything can be done correctly if someone has the brain to do it. Imagine the Bitcoin wallet of Satoshi until this day. Amaze? Of course, he's not active on it because Satoshi is nowhere to be found but try that example. Although the best way to keep your private key is to write it on a piece of paper and hide it on a safe.
