Most the scams in your post are impersonation scam which I think very easy to spot out. Only fools would fall for that cheap trick but then there are the smarts and the fools in our world.

Greedy knows no bound. Some of the victims of those scams surely think the deal too good to be true or something doesn't seem right (twitter without verified check, website that isn't official,..) but they don't care.

I think the step you gave is still lacking because there are still gaps that might be used for scammers to continue to get victims, at least by making cooperation projects that are registered at a place of exchange that has a good reputation can provide many benefits for developers and hunters gifts and giveaway. |

It would be nice to find out some stats that will tell us how many people in 2020 fall into these scam practices. I remember that these practices are since 2017 when many new people joined the crypto world, so they wanted to use to their advantage.

Every crypto giveaways that are scam always have one thing in common and that is ' requesting a deposit ' from people, giveaways should be giveaways, free of charge, nothing at cost, you don't need to be told that it's can once you are asked for payment

Free crypto on the internet is still there, it's just that the numbers are already very small, as is the case in the current campaign, not much else pays so that the hunters have to work extra hard to get a lot of results. |

generally, besides this many scammers do not ask for deposits, but instead, play their targets by example of making links that contain viruses to steal data related to crypto or making scam links and hope that victims easily enter their privatekey or mnemonic there, and what I hate the most now is fake scam using fake tweets from famous figure like elonmusk. |

In simple terms , no real giveaway will ask you to send money before collecting your prize. It's not an exchange or trade by barter. You can't win a prize and pay for it.

Free ? I don't see anything free in this market. Some airdrops pay $ 5-10 to the participants, but they require you to provide KYC in order to receive it, just like you are selling your information. |

Examples of logical thinking like this, you have $ 50 then someone asks for the money and promises to give you $ 1000, if you believe then you are one of the people who have no education. just like a giveaway that asks for a small fee means it's clearly a scam

It's crazy, but people fall on crypto doubling sites, ponzi schemes that promise very high returns. I read the other day in newspapers about some woman that was scammed by some people, she fall on the promise that she can work from home for over 7k dollars, alla he had to do is to register there and send some money for verifications! She did not send them money once, she did that couple time, and only after two weeks she reported that to police! Scammers milked her for two weeks, who knows what they said to her, which lies! I can't believe something like that happening, how can someone be so stupid do believe and fall on something like this... |

This is a nice and a well reported research work. Despite a good job done here, people's greed will still keep pushing them to lose more funds to all this giveaway scams. Elon Musk's name is the latest name being used for a giveaway scam in the past few days now.

Most of the time they spam in the comment section or send private messages saying about a huge deal that we've been chosen for that. I always report & block them.

The term giveaway itself is enough to spot the scams and ofcourse there are very few give aways for promotional purpose but those rewards are very few bucks and not going to work as double the amount once you deposit certain amount into their wallets.

Miaallen you are right this thread is a product of good research work, OP explained how some scams work. I believe most of us spotted many kinds of scams, who is longer here spotted more scams than newbies. Elon Musk is just one of the famous people who's name is used to scam people. Who can forget the Twitter hack from several weeks ago? These things happens all the time. |
