How to recognize a scam

[Yamifoud]

Almost all of the things and a way of scamming have already posted above. And that all be enough to say if that is scam or not coz eventually, they are pretty obvious to look at compared to the legit one.

However, I'm wondering why because there still a lot of people get scammed, I don't know if they listening to us or bothered to read any thread concerning about scamming. Or most likely they never changed their mindset but completely just a fool person to think about quick returns, instant millionaire or whatever it is which makes them blind to see it was a scam and they are already been scammed.

Do not get blind of good offers. This is how the scammer works most of the time and that is their bait. If you will met someone offering you like this then you should start wondering.

Other way of scamming is all about technical like letting yo disclose important details of your account. So whenever you visit a link and ask for your important details like your wallet address, private keys and etc. then do not attempt to disclose it. The scammer will just be able to access your account after you disclose it to him/her.

Beware also of the fake sites. Do not forget to bookmarks sites you can access it easily.

From my experience,  many people are just to desperate.
They need money because of some urgent needs and they are under stres and can't think in normal way.
Such people are often victims because they "wants" to believe all this "big promises " from scammers.

Many of them (scam victims) aren't on bitcointalk so they may not be reading this threads, giveaway scams for example are mostly posted on youtube and twitter, users on btt get to see threads about them cause a member of this forum saw the scam, reported it so the post will be taken down by those apps and also posted here to warn other members when they visit those apps/site. But that being said, doesn't blot any blame off them, if they were more curious to check/search, they'd prolly even see many threads warning about cryptocurrency scams without being a registered user on the forum.

It is very difficult for us to know if the villain or the person is fraudulent or not and we will be able to know everything about him when working with him only, but we can avoid fraud by staying away from anything unknown and unreliable
