[samputin]

Can you stop evil? NO. So, can you stop scammers? Hell Nah! You can only stop yourself from being scammed. There will always be scammers out there. You need to learn how to identify and repel them.

Absolutely. We cannot control other's decisions. Thus, despite all our efforts in telling people to think before they click, someone will still be a victim and as long as there is someone that can be tricked, there'll always be the tricksters. So what can we do? Learn. Learn from our past mistakes and experiences, and don't let yourself become a victim once more. You cannot control them but you can control you.

Pretty much this. The only thing you can do to stop scammers is put them in prison, and even that is not a guarantee of success (since plenty in the US have smart phones on the inside and conduct their "business" from their jail cell.

People need to do a little bit of due diligence. Having the information organized and easily presented would be helpful, but we have so many users that speak multiple languages in the local boards that honestly if people were no so damn impatient many scams would not take place.

And greed over common sense. The number of people who lose everything because they wouldn't pay 1% fee for an escrow is saddening.

the scammers will always try to search the possibility for them to scam people. The scammers can't be stopped but it should be what can be done by us to avoid these scammers? We should do our diligence and avoid to deal with any suspicious links, person, or anything that looks like suspicious.
Never try to be a greedy person because mostly people who have been getting trapped caused by their greediness to earn instant profit without any effort.
There's no way to fix this problem. We can protect ourselves and others from the attacks created by scammers.


People will never able to control it. Just say good bye to any suspicious things and you will be safe.

Many are victims of investment cases on behalf of bitcoin, they are wanted with large profits every day from 5% to 10%. Even though bitcoin is actually a transaction tool and is not promising with a profit of 5% to 10% every day. Many people when hearing with promotion get earning profit more than 5% every day will interested for investing their money but actually scammer try to get his project only put bitcoin as named, the scammer try to get fresh money from member as deposit and give commission for referral to keep promoting. When have not new member project will be scam without get fresh money again, one point why many people got scam because they have tempted with higher profit from investment.

How can we stop Bitcoin scammers?

The answer is "IF THE TIME THAT ALL OF US  DON'T BELIEVE LIES" behind attractive propaganda and tempting offerings. Mostly this is the reason why people got into the trap of scammers because of money, greediness, wanting instant rich which is truly impossible to happen. That sad thing is that most of us never think about it first but they just realized it after being scammed.

If we don't let these people make us fool or have to help the community aware of it. Nothing could help but just ourselves and we don't live that ignorance even though it is very clear to see that this is a scam trick.

How are you doing friend, if it is difficult to tell a hacker not to steal or anything like that, there are measures to further increase the security of our assets such as 2fa and use cold wallets, now believe me that a hacker will not go for a wallet that it doesn't even make it to 1 btc, regards

[ice18]

We cannot stop scammers, everyday I can see 1 or more people in social media groups they have been scammed by someone this is so unfortunate in this time where crisis is happening the only thing we can do to people who are new to crypto is to teach and educate them security features and possible scenarios on how scammers are using bitcoin to scam new users of bitcoin.

Scammers are everywhere. If you stop one of their "scams", they will come back with another.

I agree there is no going to be a stop to scams. People are gullible and sometimes the scam scheme is so well orchestrated that you have no idea or suspicions that it will lead to you losing your money.

The best way to reduce scamming level is to increase awareness and always be cautious. Even with these there will still be people who fall victims to scams because these people adapt to the different strategies.

Here is a blog which discusses how to avoid some of the common scams. Happy reading!

There are many scammers each day the only thing that we can do is never invest without knowing the project. We must know the team behind the project it must not be anonymous. I agree with others when they scam and found out their project is fraud they will just create a new one. It happen in this industry so people should be careful before investing.

[oprahwindfury]

Scammers manage their process somehow and scam with the people.The point  is this is totally  depends on someones mind.It can be control by anyone.So here is no actual options for it.But we can't just stay like that so at least we can complain and it should be done done by everyone.

[Blackrain13]

Honestly we can't stop bitcoin scammers but we can avoid them. All we need to do is to be careful enough in joining and investing a project and do not trust for every offers of different people that we really don't know. Just be skeptical and always do some research for any project or offer of someone.

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.

Listening and learning about complains can be effective since most of the stories being told there are detailed and we can make sure that we wont fall victim if we see the signs that will pertain to scams. People should also stop believing everything that is posted on the internet pertaining on how to gain free Cryptocurrencies since its already easy to gain Cryptocurrency so some websites might lead into phishing websites.

No system needed. If you rely on the system, then you rely on third parties who, in your opinion, should protect you from scam.
No one can protect you by cutting yourself.
The system must be in you - in your head. The only way to stop the scam is to stop sending them money.

Scammers is always present not only in crypto space but also in real world. We can't stop them because that is their strategy to make more money comes from what other people have labored for. No one can protect us, only ourselves. we need to become aware for everything like investing in some projects or for trusting someone. We need to verify first if the project or someones offer is legit or not. I think we can manage it by ourselves just become careful enough and do some studies and research about bitcoin scammers so that we can identify them if we encounter such circumstances.

[skarais]

The scam will continue to exist forever as long as we give them the space to do so. Scammer will never stop trying to do their job until they get what they want. Realizing what could potentially happen in this crypto space is what we should know. If you realize that the crypto world is a very risky place (fraud and so on) then you must have a strong defense so that you never become a victim. It is our own responsibility to properly practice salvation, failing to do so will be a victim.

I suggest that, to stop bitcoin scammers, do not install software or log in to a website until you are 100%sure it is not a fake one.

We can protect ourselves in two ways. First, is to follow up those security protocols that had been commonly suggested like 2fa, use dummy email, use different passwords etc.
Second, is to be sensible towards safety and course of action anytime you do deal with your money yet there would be people who would really take advantage to those
who dont have much or sufficient knowledge about on things around and this is why scammers do exist no matter what because there were people who do get still
fooled and do believe with offers which are too good to be true.Other way is that peoples wallet or storage are easy to access.

I doubt scammers can be stopped, because they always have all kinds of ways to scam. Moreover, newbies who really lack knowledge of
the world of cryptocurrency will find it easier to become victims of scammers. So it takes a lot of education to avoid scammers, even though
it can't stop scammers. At least increasing education related to cryptocurrency can reduce the number of victims of scammers.

Exactly. But we cannot blame those victims or those who will be because they are just tempted by the idea of earning profit. Making a research about something is not really expensive but victims might be fooled for a reason. This reason could be conformity. If many people engaged into something, there will be s trust that things won't go wrong. What's sad is that in every scam issue, there are lot of people being victims.

scammers wont scam with one to two people only but they want to scam many people at once to make the scam worth it because its hard to start again because people are gonna be looking for them and they need to construct another plan that are new to the eyes of the people .

the only way to gather more people to join is to start as paying , this way people will think its profitable and trusted then they will recomend it to thier friends , nieghbors and people they know .

You're somewhat right. However, there are different techniques to know if a project or idea is a scam. I find it annoying when people fall into obvious scams like money doubling, Ponzi schemes, etc. Some of the ways to identify if a project is a scam. No website, no team members info (if there's a website), asking for deposits, contacted you randomly(mostly on telegram). There are more. You sure can google your way through.

Yes. Scammers can't be stopped and controlled but they can somehow be minimized if we instill education not just to newbies but to the crypto community as a whole. Bitcoin scamming is already part of our bitcoin lives so much better if we learn to live and adjust in it so we can lessen scamming somehow.

Learning more deeper to prevent being victimized by those scammers, there's no stopping for this people so better to equip yourself
of more knowledge regarding to how they facilitate their business.

All should continue learning and never to stop adding information, scammers will continue to improve their business from time to time
better to keep yourself on-guard to lessen or completely avoid possibilities.
