Google is the first line of defense and I feel like they are not doing it proper enough which is the biggest problem. There is still a lot of ads on google for many different websites that has a phishing link instead of the real one, and I agree that when you report that to google they do take it down but between that ad being up until you report and gets taken down, whoever that scammer could have convinced was convinced and this is why I think it shouldn't be accepted to begin with.

I know google makes deals in billions of dollars every year so it is hard to follow every single website and link that they get ads from, but that doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't be checked before accepted, phishing is something serious and millions are lost to it every year, google should be held more responsible for it.

Scammers are unavoidable but we can prevent them from fooling us. We just really need to be more careful, and do not immediately believe on any website that says it is good and promising we must first study carefully before taking risks, because if you immediately believe it. Always stay alert and be smart.

I do not know a single person, who was never deceived or scammed. However, successful guys used these fails as the best lesson in their life. Now, they are very cautious and try not to make similar or even the same mistakes. Only fools cannot be taught ever.

Scammers are too clever these days and even use the Google ads program to advertise potaainga sites above real sites.
Always double check and if possible.bokkmark the sites once
You verify that they are the real ones.

Nowadays scammers are rampant and words or promises are very flowery to use to deceive. So we should not just believe right away. So it is better that if there is a project that is being offered to you, you must first study it carefully to find out what it contains to make sure that we are not fooled. Do not trust immediately until it has been reviewed.

The difference between a domain is very clear, from a real website and a pishing website. for most beginners do not seem to care and it is a big advantage that they perceive. Moreover, the gifts they offer are also tempting. My advice is for anyone to be more thorough and not send petrol just to claim airdrop tokens.

Sometimes we have to pay dearly for a valuable lesson. That failure will make us understand better that this ecosystem is quite dangerous if we are not careful about security. Don't be sad, it's a process. Evaluate the failure so that it does not happen again in the future.

Agree. scammers, use various manipulations that we don't even think they will. But that's what happened, I was surprised that they even made an official ad on google to convince potential victims. We really need to do some in-depth research, if in doubt it's better to leave immediately. Don't invest in something you don't know well, let alone just follow other people's advice. only invest what you can afford to lose

Greedy people will surely get caught in this trap, for you to get the reward you need to insert your private key to connect your wallet, this is giving away your money to scammers the easiest way, if you love Airdrops that much then go through airdrop sources like airdropbob.com, not all scam Airdrops will ask you to deposit money, some will tell you to claim your free tokens by inserting your recovery seed.
Agreed as long you are able to keep your greed in check, it is nearly impossible to fall for scam.
As for those asking to send eth or whatever the coin might be, for you to receive your free token are majorly scam, but come to think of it, no serious project will go that route to do that.

Actually, if we do it carefully when we visit websites and don't click directly, should have avoided becoming a victim of phishing.
Unfortunately most people do not have this awareness, then be careful also to find the address of websites through the google
search engine which usually often appears phishing sites. One more thing, don't be easily attracted by giveaway whose amount is
unrealistic and requires a deposit first to get rewards, therefore it is likely the method used by scammers.

There are many modes used by scammers and we should always be vigilant and pay attention to our browser tab and see the web certification to convince us that the web we visit is not a fake one. In addition, it is not arbitrary to click on the link sent to us because it could be malware

That's why it is important for us to be aware of the links we are going to click or register. If the site is asking for your private key other way to open your wallet, don't you ever try to put it on. It is obviously a scam. Just remember that there is no airdrops and bounties asking for any funds to get rewards.
AirDrop is a giveaway that is used by crypto developers as a means of promoting their project or token, and AirDrop participants are usually required to carry out certain tasks as a condition to get a number of Cryptocurrency Tokens, examples of tasks are following social media and sharing Twitter, Facebook posts or participants are required to join their official telegram, but if there is an airdrop developer who provides a number of funds, both usdt, eth and bitcoin, we can be sure if the airdrop is a scam and we should also be careful in clicking the link they provide because it could be that link Phishing links that are able to read and take over assets that we have in personal wallets.

Unfortunately, those who will always be victims are new traders who still don't have much experience, so they end up getting a scam and stuck on a phishing website.

How not to fall for phishing scams:

- Always carefully check all the links. Do not click on links from the messages from Internet services — instead, manually enter the address of the desired service in the address bar of your browser.

- Never reveal your private key.

- Use antivirus which has special protection against phishing.

For the lolz! This hijacker stole my account.

As we enter this new platform, we are already held responsible of the money we take in our accounts or wallets. We should always stay updated on what are the current schemes of the scammers and be extra careful on the sites that we are visiting or making transactions of. Many people gets unfortunate as they become careless and too goal centered that they do not pay attention with the risks around them at all. Extra security in our wallets are not being exaggerated, instead we are just proving how much we value the money we get from investing and trading in here.

So the one you claim to be legit is really legit? I remember having read many negative reviews about coinmama.
Maybe the one with the .ru domain is a total scam, however I doubt the original one is what we can call legit.
Always do research when you are about to send your money to somewhere you don't know anything about.
