How can we stop bitcoin scammers?

[noorman0]

With the advantages of bitcoin that apply and have value all over the world, it makes it easier for scammers to get random victims. Most of the scammer victims are beginners in the crypto space where it is still scattered and often starting from the wrong place to study.
Any effort will not stop the scammers who keep arriving in new and new ways. We can only block them and narrow their space by reporting the site, spreading identities, introducing indications and telling people how they cheat to people and wherever you surf so there are no further victims.

most of those who get tricked are those who are a little greedy, they are incited like a Ponzi scheme...
It is very difficult to stop scammers in Bitcoin because Bitcoin has become such a valuable asset. The thing that can stop scammers in Bitcoin the most is the education about how scammer work that is being broadcast all time.

Scammers are everywhere, time before bitcoin get famous in all over the world before the 2017 I remember many scammers were using paypal and abusing the newbies to steal some money. Scammers will usually tempt people and get them in trap by giving shiny promises, Regarding to the hype investments and fake ICO website you can easily report them to the registrar and hope they close the website soon. By the way, there is no way to get the bitcoin completely clean from scammers.

scammers will be around even with a "strong system". scammers are cunning(at least some of them) they prey upon unsuspecting people and the only thing we can do about it is to be informed(at least in my opinion). 

A quiz from the community or the forum would go some way imo but you're probably going to still see attacks by scammer as they'll just adapt to the new climate as it changes...

There was a similar thing done for scam icos but howeycoins came quite late and I think a lot of those scams had already been successful.

to be honest this is what I think the best way.

also, for those who might be interested. dkbit98 [LEARN] Phishing Quizzes - Beginners & Experts has a list of phishing quizzes that could help you fend off against cunning phishing attempts that you might come across.

We can't. As long as people are getting scammed and people kept on taking advantage of exploiting the weakness of users and programs we are using, scammers will always be there. It won't disappear, but we can educate ourselves and other people so that they can avoid being scammed. If that continues, it can stop scamming slowly.

Nowadays you can find many scammers on online and they use a lot of ways to scam. First, they try to blackmail people to weakness or create malware and send user. They also create phishing link and send users stolen user information. Most of the people got scam for prize giveaway because they have no idea about scam or interest in prize giveaway.
So if we stop scam need to awareness about scam and phishing link and don't download any file without recommendation.

I have noticed and we are all aware that so many people do complain that they were scammed through bitcoin. In every problem there is always a solution. How can we identify when a scammer is trying to scam.Let their be a strong system In such a way that scammers won’t be able to penetrate in. And can we pay more attention when someone complain about scammers.

It's pretty easy to recognize online scams:
1.When someone wants you to "invest in his project" and he is promising insane profits,then this is a scam.
2.If someone is offering a deal that seems too good to be true,then this is a scam.
3.Be cautious every time,when someone is trying to develop a relationship with you online.Scammers are usually very friendly and manipulative.

We don't have to rely on a "strong system,because hackers/scammers can penetrate any system.
We just have to rely on logic and reason.

Bitcoin scams are now less but the famous scams are now from altcoins or to those projects that have offerings ex. Ieo , ico, defi , LPO and many more but you are talking to Bitcoin scams only so let's go talk about btc only .

You can identify a btc scam but the difficulty can varry if how good the scammer was .

If you figure out too early that it was a scam don't continue anymore because there are people that already know that it was a scam but they still continue and ended up to a point of no return . Figuring out who is the scammer is almost impossible and there are no systems because btc is not centralized but paying attention to scam reports can be the best way to avoid them .

We can't stop them since we cannot control the minds of those scammers. And if they live by this schemes then for sure they will continuously do this since they are lazy to find decent job since for them scamming is easy yet they are earning big amount of money for this.

The only one we can do is to discuss more about how scammer works and how to indicate if the platform is scam since for this provably we can help those resourceful newbies about how things work on scam platforms.

Just like the scamers in real world, we also can't stop scamers in virtual world, including Bitcoin scamers.
What we can do is educate people and raise awareness so they can protect themselves from scam and thus decrease the number of potential victims. Self protection and caution are the only measures against scamers.

Evolution never stops. There is no system that is impenetrable. It's just like the cops catching the criminals and then the criminals find a better way to do that crime again.
In the internet world it's the hackers and scammers who do the crime. If a technique is found to stop that scam the scammers will then find a better way to do another scam.
So eventually there won't be a system which is 100% scam proof. But yeah we can educate ourselves enough so that we understand that it's a scam/fraudulent activity.
We should keep reading about scams and crime related news to know how the scammers and criminals are doing their illegal activities to know how the process works.
The next time if a similar thing happens with you then you will atleast have the basic idea to identify what it might be.

It depends on  the area you’re referring to, if you are talking about stopping scammers completely everywhere, that’s not going to be possible because in or the other there will be people who will fall for the scammers' tricks. It can be airdrops or any other, but will always fall for it.

The thing is that people have to learn to be doing good research so that they won’t be falling for the traps that scammers are laying everywhere. And then it’s left for us to also do our best in pointing ways that newbies can avoid scam projects and all that. It’s just like the Twitter scam, despite that it’s an old type of scam, but some people still fell for it.

People are getting scammed by the same banner that they are seeing which is "FREE BITCOIN". Its true that having or getting free Bitcoin is fun but if people are giving it away, there is always a catch since gaining Bitcoin is easy but there are requirements before earning it. We should not easily trust some of these Bitcoin giveaways UNLESS its from someone credible. Complains are good too since people are learning on new ways on how people got scammed and they are good enough to tell their experience even though its hard for them.

How can we identify when a scammer is trying to scam.

I believe it is simple, their offer is too good to be true.  If we keep our greed at bay, we can easily see their scammy plot because almost all their offer are those that will trigger our greed and make our brain think irrational.  Aside from that, we also need to educate ourselves and do research in every offer of investment we meet.  Patience and thorough research will always save us from the claws of these scam people.

If something is far from the reality or if the project is too good to be true, then there should be curiousity. Curiousity must be followed by action of checking if it is true or not. There are many ways to do so; asking other people inside and outside the project or checking for its background. Think of it as "there's no way a project will be this much". And if you won't lose that much from engaging if there's no other way, go for it. Sometimes risking is worthy of one's time.

Bitcoin's value in recent years has made the cryptocurrency one of its most promising assets.  Not only for users, traders, and investors, the growing price of Bitcoin has also attracted the attention of scammers.  There are several ways to avoid scammers:
1.  learn all about Bitcoin. 
2. find out the types of Bitcoin scams today. 
This understanding can increase your awareness if one day you encounter a scam model.  One of the scam models is if you come across advertising sentences like “Buy Bitcoin 5% lower than the market price.  Reach Big Profits ”, then don't hesitate to avoid it.  It is one of the marketing strategies of scammers who want to deceive potential clients with the lure of unrealistically large profits.
