Not giving anyone the money you own. As simple as it is 

Yes, I have a simpler one, don't be careless.
But you need to hear from several cases how various scammers tricked their victims who initially felt they were not stupid enough to give their money to the scammers.

I think what causes this type of unwanted situation is ignorance and greed. People are too greedy that sometimes they throw their money at any uncertain place. You should be careful about any investment plan you offered in the telegram and the project you are investing in. Only invest through a verified Exchange or a reputable website. You can trust a reputable figure in crypto also.

Market observation, continued learning, regular updates will make people stay away from scams. Most of the time people look for quick profit which is the reason for getting trapped on scams. Whenever we see a scam, there'll be a term bitcoin. This means people never realize or evaluate the project, just with the word bitcoin people go for investing. This isn't the right way to make an investment into bitcoin. People go for large scale investments expecting the quick return.

if they throw money why we should worry to them ? they are rich because they throw their money . they are not greedy because they dont need money anymore but they this can be termed as ignorance but to those that are not rich they will think twice and will value what they are dealing with  .

 when we invest why we invest for those that what is offered in telegram ? tele is a mesaging platform only and programs on it are run by a bot and not by a real service  . 

investing in exchange is also becoming a thing but id better follow your last advice and that is investing in a trusted crypto but ill pull it out of the exchange and hodl it in my own .

Some people are so gullible that they believe whatever they see. That's why we see a lot of attractive advertisement around the web. They come in different shape and forms. And though many people fall for such scams, a large part of it are people who have hard earned their money.
It's always a good idea to keep your eyes and mind open to save yourself from a scam. Transact and open your wallet only when you are sure about it.

Well I think one good way for you not to be scam or avoid fraudulent is by doing deep digging of information and plenty of researching especially if you are a newbie investor which is really looking for a good profit in investing. Also, I suggest that avoid those eye-catching projects and sweet words from people that you in this industry it or they most probably scam you.

do you really need to Bump this 6 months Old thread just to put this shitpost?all your advises has been mentioned already from more than 300 posts in this thread.

Never be greedy is the first and basic advise people must know here in crypto because this market promises to many good things but only
few will come reality and for obvious reason those greedy people are the one whos always becoming their victims.

Its a human nature to be greedy sometimes, unfortunately it is the main reason why some people are ending up in a wrong hands of scammers. Because they chose the easy way or the too good to be true offer just to earn quick which is not possible in crypto world.

To avoid scammers, dont trust easily. Keep learning about the nature of investment you want to get in and be aware of what to expect. Its fine to commit mistake sometimes because thats how you'll learn and understand further the investment.

Recently I received an email from a fake peson pretend to be the ICO and asked my deposit money into their smart contract, I want to say that you should always check the email address domain and make sure the domain of the email is the same as the website domain that you wish to invest, these kinds of emails come officially and no one uses Gmail or yahoo domain to send these emails if it's real.

This is some nice piece of information here, good one infact, fomo and greed has always been the major problem for everyone, it made so many people including me lose huge amount of money back then in 2017,greed is the deadliest, I remember back then in 2017 when everything was booming, I invested in a project with about $1000 when the token got listed it skyrocketed and i was on a $7000 profit already, I was supposed to have sold it, but I was greedily waiting for it to rise up to $10,000 so I can dump the coins, suddenly everything came down crashing and I lost about 80% of that profits, I was able to come out with just $1400, I learnt alot from it since then.

For a person who wants to avoid scam, he should not have much confidence in everything he sees and verify the validity of any information or message that comes and make sure that he deals with the official website and not a fake site, and that he does not put his private key in any suspicious application or Google form, and he must not Be greedy and refuse any temptations.

Avoiding Scams is difficult now, especially since many sites and scam projects make us confused,
but to invest in old projects I think it's the only way to avoid scammers, Ethereum or Ripple is obviously very trustworthy

Invest in the listed coins which known and reputed ones as this will help you to reduce the risk of getting scammed. Something like ETH, BNB, GAS etc are good coins and good project to invest as well. For the new one would need to do a lot of research and then take a call before investing as in recent year many turn out to be a scam or worthless coin in the end. If not able to identify and pick the right ones, then better to avoid such projects.

Bitcoin is the best investment of all time To put bitcoin prices into investment profit and loss terminology, if you had invested five years ago, you would be sitting on a profit of thousands of percent. If you had invested $500 on October 24, 2010, congratulations, that was the time to buy as you’re a bitcoin multi-millionnaire! Your $500 is now worth an incredible $42,000,000

For us to avoid getting scammed, even the projects states their whitepaper as a good and look real. We shouldn't believe and fall immediately we need to study it first make some deep research about the project carefully so that we aren't going to be fooled.

I've also been fooled by a project that looks really good whitepapers and even the website is very cool. But somehow the project was lost and there was no news.

After a long time, I got comments like the one you were talking about 'we need to study it first make some deep research about the project carefully.'

Can you explain what you mean?
This will be very valuable to me and the members who don't know

FOMO and rushing are tools that one can use right without getting burnt in the process, FOMO have bring me good results and also bad results, I later realize that FOMO is only good if the project you are FOMO'ing on has what it takes, to me it's still all down to how reliable the project is or what the project team are capable of, I rushed into FOMO of a project at 1$ and it turn 2$ later

Having a decent whitepaper and a good looking website doesn't guarantee the success of the project. You can create all these for $1,000 using a freelancing site. The trick lies with the implementation of the project. A lot of these projects start with a lot of hype, and then suddenly after 2-3 months all the activity comes to a grinding halt. Unfortunately for the investors, by the time they realize this all of their capital will be gone.

I really understand that to avoid scamming is very easy because not everyone involves and also believe that scamming is in existence because many people have not experienced scam, if I'm not mistaking, to avoid it, is very clear and quite understanding to people who can control their emotions via investment platforms, what causes scam is over interesting over money, due to excessive profit to acquire in period of time, to avoid bitcoin scamming call - off - investing bitcoin ponzi scheme and do not think to be  rich .

[luckyflop]

I have found this on Twitter and I think that is so true,

 

Especially the moon boys, very similar to paid shillers but this time scam shillers . One hot scam of late that often starts on Facebook or Telegram involves messages that appear to be from friends suggesting that your friend knows how you can get grant money during the pandemic. I have received one of those :

“The friend will say: ‘I was able to get this money. Here’s the link. Check it out,’ ” .
scammers are everywhere, be aware.

There is a lot for the crypto investors need to avoid because if we do that we can avoid losing a lot of money.
But sometimes even we don't to get scammed or losing money we still experienced it because we are not perfect to know all the legit investment because sometimes those scammers are good in hiding their true colors so people get scammed or losing money.

There are two things why other people haven't experienced getting scam. First, they are smart enough not to get trick or deceive by scammers that they already know all of its tricks, and lastly, they are not interested in earning money. So if you want to avoid getting scammed, you need to learn how to control your greed and research before you risk your money in projects.

Can you show this project that scammed you and we will try to find signs of scam that people have missed?

By "deep research" people meant: examining whitepaper. No matter how "good" it look, always check it for signs of plagiarism. Check if what is really written there can be realized in real life and be demanded. Or this is all just hopes and imagination of team. Sometimes there projects that dont even need blockchain technology implemented.

Check projects team. Do their photos look real? Or just stock or stolen photos of someone else. Check their social media profiles. They must not be empty, newly created or consist only from projects info. How many times you have seen that a persons works for 3-5 projects, is interested in sports, have lots of hobbies and writes on his wall only about "insert-project-name-here".

Check when their webpage domain was registered. If they say they have already a lot of experience and made a lot of things, but their domain was registered a week ago and is paid only for 1-3 months. Skip this scam.
