Scammers are smart as well.

Of course they are among us. They are not that smart as you think though because they can easily find a job that they don't need to scam investors, just look at the scam accusation threads in the forum to see how many of them are caught. They are probably doing the same thing over and over and still got caught. Some of them are just employing to create their website and ERC token in fiverr too.

It's always the fight between the good and evil. And where there is money involved, larger would be the scams. It's not just in crypto. The thing that makes it easier for them to scam with crypto is their chance of being caught and brought to justice are negligible while they scam using crypto and remaining anonymous. The only way to be sure about a project is actually realizing how fulfiling the promise is and have a look at at-least a demonstration of what the team are capable of.

gee , that is the popular preference of investors but they didnt know that scammers already infested this preferences  .

 now what are we going to do now when its almost impossible to detect or to avoid a scam project ? i guess the best possible way to avoid them is to avoid newer ico or simillar kind of investment just to be safe and divert your attention to some verified and 100 percent legit assets like cryptocurrencies ( ex. btc , eth , ltc and alike )  .

[Fappanu]

Scammers are still going to find ways to victimize investors because they are living in think kind of practice. So no one is safe in the ICO today and if we don't want to be victimized by these, we would rather avoid it. And let's invest in bitcoin or reputable coins so that we can be sure that our hard-earned money won't fall victim to it.

[mirrasel]

All the scammers believe that they are cleverer than anything.  They get fooled by the experts 

[Wysi]

This was supposed to happen as we the bounty hunters just follow any trend like sheep because initially, hunters don't used to join those campaigns wherein the bounty pool was not good and then all those highly paying bounties turned out to be a scam hence by default users started assuming that the bounties offering high stakes are scams and scammers used it as their new tactics by offering lesser than average stakes to gain user's trust to join their campaigns.

Scammers don't have to give huge promises anymore, believe me they are among us and they know how smart investors have become too, they always reshape their tactics, now projects don't have to give too good offers because they know people are aware that too good to be real offers are scam, honestly scammers are not idiots

People keep saying good projects always have good team and brilliant ideas to solve crypto issues, who tell you that scammers can't deliver all this?

Yes they can and I have one proof one example is Bitmillex, after their ICO and delivering their coins to investors and promoters they are nowhere to be found, and to think they do webinars and conferences and very visible another one is Weidex, who until now are not giving investors money, I just forget these projects because they just made me disappointed.

[red4slash]

manipulation will always be there and one of them is a scammer who certainly has a way to mess up a free investment system like in this crypto. but I'm sure every investor has a way of distinguishing original projects from fraudulent projects

Of course, you have to be smart to become a scammer. You cannot scam anyone who is smarter than you, can you?

It is getting harder to spot scammers. You cannot just rely on initial input like projects, white papers, documents and the people behind them. You have to see them react in telegram and how they communicate. But still, you cannot 100% spot scammers from legit.

[jets567]

I think that scammers are having a hard times these past few months because crypto investors are getting smarter as time goes by but for sure those scammer won't stop and always create new tricks in able to catch their victims. Scammers will always exist even in real life or crypto space and it will be hard to stop them but we can lessen their earnings if we gets smarter as well or keep learning about their new tricks.

[Obito]

Yes, they really are becoming intelligent and creative. Even the criminals out there, hackers, and such. Improvements isn't always a good thing, as long as we can on progressing such people frauds, and scammers are also making their own way in order to keep in such improvement. We have to admit it, and anyway they all keep on relyin' on one perspective, if we can discovered as early as we could I am pretty sure we can avoid such people.

Scammers are smart enough to make new tactics to make the public believe them. These people keep on reading the minds of the public who have little knowledge about cryptocurrency and are much interested in learning more about cryptocurrencies and the way it can make a change. When scammers can make themselves as smart on different things why can't we create awareness and make people to secure the funds.

These things can be sorted out easily, if the investors understand the risk when you invest in a raw project who promises something different but no guarantee how that can be achieved or whether that can be achieved then the investors will think twice about investing in the project simply because of the risk involved and unless there is strict regulation and transparency i hope the investors stay away from these projects and then the scammers will die off from this market altogether.

I see that you are advertising some project, have you done the research about it .

[#Darren]

Nobody said that scammers are idiots, because you need a lot of effort to create a scam project, the bigger problem is that 90 percent of investors are the same idiots that are investing in all projects without even a simple check.

[ganeshramk]

First of all, if the promises are too ambitious we should understand either they have plans to run away or simply it is incapable by the team. Greedy always is an issue and people are suffering just because of that greed.

[Chrystora123]

the funny thing is that even scammers now have a good team. and if they collect a large amount of money, then they can immediately turn out to be scammers and run away with the money.

in my country, the con artists are educated people with a good education degree.. at this time we are required to be more vigilant and not easily attracted with sweet promises.  they (the scammers) take advantage of our greed side (usually the deceived are those who want to get rich quick). so control yourself not to be easily tempted by sweet promises.

[Zionatin]

I don't think scammers need to even be that clever. They just need a small amount to invest and zero morals. You just buy a ready-made website and customize it without any need to even know html. You can find out how to make a smart contract for distribution or even use a service that does it for you. Then you need a small amount of advertising to attract bounty idiots. This all costs less then $100 and you have a fully working scam just waiting for idiots to invest. People who fall for this shit are morons and scammers just do the same thing over and over and people still fall for it. You still get bitcoin doublers.

[lousie9]

indeed who says if scamers are stupid, we all know and realize that scamers always have a way to fool every victim. It is important for anyone to be more careful, because scamers have smart brains, they are around us and always attack victims who have large amounts of assets.

As time goes by, I'm sure scammers will develop and will not run in place, they always look for the slightest gap to launch the action, so we should also increase our awareness of the threat of scammers, and hopefully investors will not be swayed by the tactics carried out by scammers
