Scammers, the biggest crypto problem

[glendall]

Scammers actually reduce people's trust about cryptocurrency, those who have never tried the world of cryptocurrency and hear news about scams will assume that crypto is not safe and prone to hacker attacks, which is actually not a cryptocurrency error, but rather a careless user, or platform that is not careful do not have a strong security system.
so from this problem many people assume that crypto must have regulations so that its safety is clear.

in my opinion scam always happens everywhere not only in cryptocurrency. In fiat money transactions too many frauds occur. we can't avoid this because scammers always have ways to successfully steal our money. all we have to do is increase the security of our wallet. one way might be to use a hardware wallet. we can save our bitcoin in trezor or ledger hardware wallets.

Scammers will always take advantage of people's ignorance and take advantage of people who don't understand cryptocurrency. Even in a market where regulations already exist, scammers will still be there because there are groups of people whose job is to deceive others

In fact, if you take the right steps, your risk of being defrauded is quite low.

Because the strategies of scammers are often the same: they send you a private message from the Telegram, telling you they have a new opportunity. Asking you for the private keys to your wallets. Asking you for money.

If you are dealing with these situations, you can assume that the person you are dealing with is a 100% fraudster.

This world is filled with scammers. It is just how this world is. Wherever you go, people will always be there to scam you. You yourself have to be careful. You have to be cautious and maintain yourself and protect yourself.

Just spreading awareness won't help newbies getting scammed. Scammers use wide variety of tricks to scam them. We can't really spread awareness on every tricks. Once they get scammed they will learn their lesson and will be more cautious in their next move.

It is not about spreading awareness about the scammed project, it is about even preventing the scam project from getting to the eye of the public for us to even start thinking of reporting them after the scam has been done, that is more like drinking medicine after the head ache.

Where our full force attack should come from is where we can make sure that the scammer are not being project, because when it comes to awareness, we are still the ones that are creating awareness for them by promoting their project, if we can stop promoting their project, then it will be a very good thing that will happen to the cryptocurrency space, and the only way to stop promoting them is just to research on them and be very picky about the projects before shooting them out.

I believe the main problem are the people who fall prey to these scammers. Once, okay we get it, it was a mistake, but more than that is just your problem. You are encouraging them to scam you. And because of that, these scammers get the courage to scam others and more.

[Aying]

Obviously and definitely 100 percent correct scammer is the number problem in the crypto currency space, it is difficult to resolve this problem because a lot of the victim of the scammer is the newcomers in the crypto space due to lack of understanding and they trust fast to unknown people offering propaganda of the they offer.

they want an easy money its hard to resolve issue of the scammers because there are many newbie everyday that can be potentially target of those scammer.

No one can resolve this issue whenever.. you know why? because money is involve. if everyone posses with this too much they become greedy and wanted to have more. everyone got jealous and thats the start of their ghastly intention. you can avoid it if you gain more things necessary for you not to fall victim to it. just always remind your self that money is the root of everything, be wise enough to protect what is yours.

as the point you have said above it is true that scamers are the biggest problem in the crypto industry, we can see that from last year and this year almost 80% of ico projects are frauds, on the other hand many projects do not pay participants, the products do not to function properly, developers and teams don't care about their projects and there are many other negative things about in the crypto industry.

[OasisDre]

there will come a time that scammers will reduce in crypto space, regulation will do its part but won't completely erase scammers off crypto space, my advice is for newbies i wish they will always choose learning first before investing in any new projects

[spadormie]

Sometimes, even though we thought that ourselves are secured, sometimes that will never be the case or the case we wanted to happen. Well, those are scammers for you. They could break a lot of shells in protecting your thing.  The best way to get rid of this is tell the authorities on what's happening if there could be some anomaly that happened. Second, secure yourselves.

make people aware of scam projects that are very influential. it is not just realizing and leaving. I agree with your opinion, when we have found a project scam, we need to do a report so that the project closes immediately, and that might save many investors who did not research a project before investing.

that way is indeed the fastest way to avoid scammers from the crypto world. it's the same as when a project is marked as a scammer project and has a mark. of course, people will realize the sign and start to avoid it. we can only help each other for things like this.

There is no way to rid of scammers. They are everywhere. The only thing to do is to have public awareness about them. Share with your family and friends when you know that they are susceptible to being scammed.

Finally someone spoke up. The doom caused, fear installed by scammers cannot be overemphasized. One of the major determining factors of successful scamming and scam projects is ignorance, scammers trade on ignorance. That's why I always encourage newbies and even oldies to participate and learn in AMA series of long standing projects with reputations, wider use case and  successful long term achievements.

[FireBallex]

We can't stop scammers because there are too many ways this bad people carry out their missions, it can't be compared to real world crime, online crime is bigger than what's happening in our world combined, we can't do anything than keep finding ways to unveil their bad acts

Crypto will definitely see higher percentage of mass adoption if this space in free of scammers but it's a big war that can never ends, scammers can't be defeat online, they will always come up with new strategies to fool investors

Yes, scammers can't be defeated online here, but that doesn't mean they don't have a way to avoid the strategies they built, because they often look for new ways to cheat, so we as ordinary people also must be observant in avoiding their strategies, one of which is by making specific and in-depth research on new projects, because with that I think it will also help us a little in avoiding the efforts of fraudsters.

[Ramaraj]

I totally agreed. With the appearance of cryptographic forms of money, there are a great deal of tricksters and scammers here. This is fundamentally because of the way that they are sure about their exemption. Furthermore, it isn't known when government offices will start to arraign such individuals and whether this is conceivable, in light of the fact that digital forms of money are mysterious. Most of the scammers using the platform social media posts of reputed company as a comments through with Btc address, if you send .5 btc to this address you will get 10 btc worth of that platforms coin. most of the users unawarely send them .5 btc. they will absconed.

[Pomogator]

Indeed, scammers do tremendous damage to cryptocurrency. Starting from the theft of bitcoins from exchanges, ending with the creation of fake ICO projects. I myself got into such projects. Since then, I participate only in IEO projects.
