How can we stop bitcoin scammers?

[gabbie2010]

Scammers will always use dubious means to entice unsuspecting people to fall for their tricks, and by their actions its obviously very difficult to put an end to it, its unfortunate that Bitcoin is now used by these unscrupulous scammers to perpetuate their dastardly act.
However more public enlightenment is one of the way to minimize these scammers, letting people know how most of them operates is very important, especially when a bogus profits or high returns is promised for a  Bitcoin deposit that is a potential red flag for scamming.

The best way to stop scammers is to stay away from them, and don't fall for anything which looks too good to be true. if you receive an offer from random people claiming to double or tripple your bitcoins in short time, then you should realize immediately that it's a scam.
there is not any 100% secure system to protect anyone from scammers. it is all upto each and every individual person to protect himself and take necessary measurements to prevent himself from getting scammed.
Use a Secure wallet to Store your coins.
Use a Trusted Exchange to Trade your coins.
don't join any random and new exchanges and deposit your money if they have good promotions and offering rewards. everyone has to be careful himself. that's the only way to stop scammers.

They are always doing their business even in other sectors as well not only to bitcoin. Scammers do like fast and easy money so no wonder most financial sectors like banks and other platfrom are subject for their scam activity. Well, we do not have other choice but to be always wary by their activity. They are everywhere so let us be careful all the time.

I think we can't, there will always be scammers, scammers will disappear when this system no longer exists, we can only be careful when something goes wrong. I haven't experienced a scam incident, hopefully we all never have

I don't know about that.

Even before this system existed, scam is already a thing. So you can't say that the scammers will disappear when this system no longer exists, as long as there as people exists, scam will do too.

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.

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.

Sometimes even the most guarded security system cannot identify the identity of the scammers. They're so good to camouflage that you may never made any hesitation to trust with it. The only thing to stop scammers is us to avoid to be scammed. Well it was easy to tell to avoid but sometimes were become a victim already that we didn't know. What we should do was to keep ourselves more knowledgeable how to avoid those scammers.

We know scammers are not only in bitcoin, and we also know that bitcoin addresses are also hard to detect which is what makes scammers possible to enter bitcoin, some time ago important people's twitter accounts were hacked and scammers got into it to ask for bitcoin

We need to be careful to stop Bitcoin scammers. Remember you are interested in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies aim for long-term trading. You have to keep in mind that rollovers are not available for Bitcoin so the risk will be much less. Bitcoin prices fluctuate within a narrow range for a very long time and it is very helpful to identify the levels of strong support and resistance. Somewhere before exchanging or investing the charts have to be thoroughly verified newcomers can also make great profits and be protected from scams.

We cannot prevent them to stop the illegal things that they are doing but we can save others especially those who do not fully understand how bitcoin and cryptocurrencies work, a lot of people are falling to their attractive posts and words because of 2 reasons: there are really skillful scammers wherein it can be a look a like a real and legit investment but the other 1 is a lot of investors are becoming greedy wherein they want huge rewards in just days or weeks. I keep spreading knowledge not only in my community buy also in different social media platforms, financial IQ is really important and a individual can protect their selves from scammers if they know what they are doing. Actually law enforcements are keep implementing laws to protect their citizens from scammers but that thing is it is still not enough in order for the people to protect their selves from those scammers.

You can never have a system 100% free of scammers, because scamming is made possible by gaining someone's confidence, and you can't do anything about someone's decisions. Bitcoin draws scammers because it can't be frozen, seized, intercepted, charged back, and it even offers some privacy, but even without those things scammers would still operate, just like they scam people through PayPal or banks or cash. There's no point in trading off Bitcoin's decentralization and freedom just to have less scams, because we already have non-free centralized systems, and Bitcoin is only valuable because it's not like them.

you are definitely right, scammers are made out of trust. people should not trust any person talking about money and these things.

for the fraudsters they see this as a very profitable potential so they make the best use of this bitcoin and try to trick new traders and fall into the traps they have set, so I feel cautious when being offered something that makes you have to use the bitcoin we have unused for something that is not clear.

If we spend time worrying about how to totally eradicate scammers, we would never achieve that afterall. Best we can do is to be ahead of them, take our security measures seriously, and try not to fall prey to get rich quick schemes that are meant to milk investors of their hard earned funds

[bitcoin31]

Scammer will stop only if they not getting money but now they creating a lot of ways to scam people so we need tp be aware of that.
Maybe we cannot stop them but we can prevent or avoid them by sharing their ways of scamming so we can know and prevent it immediately. Not only in the bitcoin have scammer because a lot of business or investment they have scammers will always there once money is involve.

• Most people expose their Bitcoin accounts to Ponzi website for reasons of getting rich quick, you would get scammed eventually.
• When you link your wallet with unauthorised application for easy access to withdrawal, you would get scammed eventually.
• A lot of people do not even get a Bitcoin wallet from the right source and such a wallet gets compromised in the process.

There are widespread scamming that are happening worldwide everyday and most of these haven't solved yet and these are quite alarming and can ruin the cryoto market, Because if these scamming continue to increased the demand of cryptocurrency may decreased and may cause to drop its value.

In every problem there is always a solution.
How can we identify when a scammer is trying to scam.

Well all we need to do is be wise and sharp, have a research inspect the project/company/person thoroughly, Look for every information that may help you and always ask others.

Let their be a strong system In such a way that scammers won’t be able to penetrate in.

As of now the internet or online security are not that strong and scammers are getting wiser and wiser.

And can we pay more attention when someone complain about scammers.

Well its not easy to tracked down the culprit for every complain, so others won't take the initiative to help. The best way as of know is to warn others, learn from your mistakes and to think twice in making decistion

It's been happening since the beginning and it won't be easy to stop.  It would be nice to say which sector you want to close.  However, everyone needs to be aware of the transaction.  If you are aware of your place, you can get rid of this situation a lot.

We cant stop scam.
There will be always a good and bad side in this world.

We just need to well educated to prevent scam.
Stick to the basic rule, “if it’s too good to be true, it’s too good to be true”

Also, we need people to understand the difference between scammed through bitcoin, scammed by bitcoin.
Most people I know in real life still thinks bitcoin is a gambling, mlm, ponzi, binomo, etc.
Even a well known stock/finance influencers miss understood this thing.

We should be aware form free Bitcoin news or offer. Also we need to be aware from Double your coin or etc scam proposal. Scammers use so many ways for falling anyone in their trap. So we should be more careful and before sending or investing our Bitcoin we must be checked that they are scammers or not. If everyone should be more aware then scammers automatically stopped scamming and we can stop Bitcoin scammers.
