Is there real initiatives to fight scam in crypto??

[Kopetunto]

This is the downside of Cryptocurrency, it is the best place to do scams. Someone can easily take advantage of anyone by using digital platforms. Since cryptos are mostly a decentralised system, no one can control the scammers. The only way to lessen the losses and scam events, people should be educated on how to avoid and discern different schemes scammers ate doing. Until people doesn't have enough knowledge on this schemes they will continue to be a victim.

There are so many scammers in this cryptocurrency world and there are also many victims,
It is certainly difficult to be able to distinguish projects that are scam and those that are not, but we can also reduce this risk by learning to understand things related to crypto

The only ones fighting scam presently are top exchanges, the platforms that cares about their own reputations won't dare bring you scam exchanges in IEO fundraising when they know what's at stake, SEC on the other hand only hunt for CEX projects, with that I'm not satisfied enough

[Sterbens]

In my opinion, until now there is no other alternative to fight crypto scam except for yourself who have to be careful in all forms of initiation. So before investing you need to examine crypto from various points of view, don't look at the benefits, because it's clear that it's a temptation to offer. but look at the quality of the crypto managers and their staff. do a comparison with someone who knows more about crypto. do all the scavengers on its social media. is the show really real? and there are still many more things that must be considered, thus minimizing crypto that smells of scam.

Its treu that it become very hard to scam people and take theire money in the curent time but for now i dont know about any official organization that track scammers
If you know about anyone please share with me

you may think it becomes hard to scam people but i don't believe it is so, as crypto gain more exposure and the price increases so are new innocent people coming into to earn, and this people are still very vulnerable with no idea at all how things are done, how to protect themselves from scammers, now that btc price has increase a lot we have new people in crypto, and scammers are up in their game as well.

You only see volunteers do that. On the Scam Accusations(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) you can see projects that are posted there and tracked and tagged as a scam with valid source and proof. It's just a free community from the forum who does that
But isn't it that SEC is the one that also sneaks into something like this? and also unregistered projects/icos.
(https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-53)

sec only for the American region, on the basis of this institution exists to protect its citizens. That's why every new project that wants to sell coins, prohibits Americans or those with an American passport from participating. but crypto doesn't only exist in one country. So as long as they are not American, they are still free to commit fraud and the SEC does not have the authority to sue them.

I think there should be an organization that audits every project. and this organization was created by the owners of the dapps platform such as ethereum, BNB, EOS, and other Dapps platforms. so each Platform has an audit team to see if the project is feasible or not using their network. and this team must be open to any suggestions and complaints.

Yes, let's say that the center of the lawsuit by SEC is on America. But if it comes out and they have an official statement, it will be on the news and many will be aware of the existence of that project as a scam.
It's a good platform and agency to determine the scams and they're the ones that shall take further actions. Because us, we can't do anything if it's on the higher courts or legal matters.

I doubt that scam could be something we can all get together against because it is something that scammers do individually to us and we would need to form a group of individuals who got scammed while being global. When you are global like this it is and impossible to get together from all around the world. When someone scams people from only one nation, or even just one state, it is possible that those people can get together and fight against that scammer, because they are all at the same place and just sue the scammer there.

But if I am from nation A and you are from Nation B and another person is from Nation C while the scammer is from Nation D, what are we going to do? Where are we going to sue the scammer? It becomes near impossible to deal with that. However there were few places that got sued, and they have been both punished with millions of dollars and jail time together, it requires enough people from scammers location to start that.

It's always upto the investors that should research and find what's suitable for them and what is a scam.
There are surely people working without any incentive to report scams but sometimes they are wrong while mostly they don't cover every projects that need to be. There are even situations when these so-called investigators were found to be taking money to put some projects in a good way or bad way. With no regulations, these people and group act like a bad journalism.

Only users would do that. There isn't organization assigned to do that specific kind of job.

Even if there would be, there would still be scammers.
One just gotta be unfortunate or not intellect enough to fall for those. Experience from it tells their lesson.
There are a lot of scam busters in the DT Members, and even if they make an organization, there still would exist one.
Scammers are already part of financial ecosystem, that's why there's known word as "risk".

Not that when ICOEthics still was around he prove that he can track them down especially those scam ICOs way back there. You can browse his topics history. I don't know what happen to him/her but I've never seen any profiles that bust that much ICOs here in this forum.

This is very interesting but unfortenetly this profile isnt active since 2019 and i wonder what really happned to him...i dont think that his account get banned or domthing like this because he recieved just positive feedbacks

The crypto forum is open and there are no rules regarding fraudulent projects. However, you can minimize it by looking at the list of fraudulent projects in the Fraud Accusation Thread, then you can avoid it if you find a suspicious project, don't fall in love with a lucrative offer, and do detailed research.

[Chainsmokers]

I think to be able to fight the scam in crypto is from ourselves continue to follow the information on the coins that we invest don't be quiet or don't care
because many projects scam happen in the middle of the road first start with good but when in the middle of the road they will make something bad
such as not running the roadmap properly, not updating and even disappearing

It is not right to be overly attracted to any project as soon as it comes for promotion. As you said, now there are many ways to check whether the project is real or not. Even then, many crypto users do not want to do research on any project which they may realize later if they make a loss later. Just as not all projects are doubtful, not all projects are real.

That is what law enforcement is for, we do not need a bunch of vigilantes, besides it is not like they have the power to to anything, the most we can do, and this is something the community already does, is that when a scam is detected they announce it in the forum for everyone to see, but besides that there is not much to do, it is up to each person to watch for signs that the project they are interested is legitimate and if they have doubts they must raise their concerns on the appropriate channels.

If the developers of the project instead of answering your questions ban you or something similar then you know you are most likely in the presence of a scammer and you need to expose them if you can.

Unfortunately there is no organisatiin for trackibg scammer, maybe you should report it to interpol or something, especially in this crypto world which everything can be dissappear in a second, thats why dont do stupid or if you want toninvest in some project do the real due diligent.

I do not think there is any such thing available as of yet and that is why scammers are free to loot people. I agree to the idea of an online police that checks, exposes, charges and punishes scams and scammers, only this way online fraud can stop or atleast reduce.

[Princejebs]

If look back when I joined cryptocurrency, then still an enthusiast who loves how Bitcoin pump back then, I 2as so amazed and new about the whole system.
I thought the system was very friendly to Noobs without proper knowledge, that's how I lost $450 to Telegram bitcoin miners as they called their self.
The second loss was when I made a trade without an escrow, the scammer vanished with my hard earned money. I hope this system can have a better way to guide Noobs into the system without been scam. It's has reducbut its scary.

Unfortunately, we don't have a central organization that fight these crypto scammers. But in this forum, there is scam accusations board where you can visit existing projects that has scam allegations. This is what we can do here in the forum. Expose potential scammers but seriously filing a lawsuit to them? We can't unless, there is an individual that is willing to go beyond reporting that project. And maybe, if that individual is heavily invested on a project and he can afford to file a lawsuit to the project and follow thru with it. However, very rare that you will encounter here. So yes, what you can do is just avoid potential scam projects by doing your own research.

[LostConfidence243]

There is no way to locate the scammers. You have to understand that this crypto market or cryptocurrencies are not centralized. If you face anything like this then you have nothing to do. You have to count this as a loss. But you can reduce the percentage of this situation by doing the proper research. Scammers will do their job for sure, but you have to make sure that you won't go there by yourself.

[mariah.sadio]

It still pretty hard to actually fight it, smart enough people just ignore it

[Wisbrown]

There is no such organization that can fight again scam in crypto world but you can fight for yourself by keeping the secret of your details. Don't look for cheap cryptocurrency when you know the real price. Always follow up with new update and go for information by these you can protect your accounts 90%
