ADA Scam sites are unstopable?

[Reatim]

As a newcomer to ADA , i fell for a scam youtube website .
Using https://cardanoscan.io i managed to trace my ADA to an address that has 140.000.000 ADA.
So lets call this a dirty address.
I found another connected to that with 220,400,019.
So that is 360.000.000 dirty little ada ... 

Even How you do , nothing that can help you take it back because you have lost it because of your laziness to check differ.

I write to express my wonder when i learned that the scam site business  is rolling a year now , and the cardano community have trouble stopping it.
For  their defense even youtube seems that cant stop those scam videos.

Imagine this was running for years yet you become a Victim , Just be thankful that you are sharing it now so no one will fall from this trap again.

So is there hope? Have other coins had coordinated scam site attacks with that duration and if yes  how did they manage to contain it?

Scammers are good in everything mate, this is their expertise and they are gifted people that uses their ability to take advantage to others.

Is that to much for a crypto community to do ?

ADA is so hyped at the moment so we could easily expect a lot of scam website that is related to ADA and cryptocurrency at the moment.

I mean scams are just unstable in the cryptocurrency community and they have so many methods just to scam people on different social media platforms.

So just to be safe if you're in the cryptocurrency market you already know how the scam works here especially in the past year, so we could consider scams as a normal thing here so just do your research.

So is currently investing in Cardano the wrong choice? now that half of my assets are invested in cardano, it's only natural that right now the price of cardano is just running on the spot, never going any higher as usual. so what about the future of caardano? is it still possible for cardano to be the best altcoin after Ethereum?

[freedomgo]

Scammers are using the popularity of ADA, and not actually ADA but most of the coins that are hype during the bull run.

This is the time the scammers like as they can victimized newbie investors who are greedy but with lack of knowledge.
So if we don't want to become a victim of scam, we should be knowledgeable, don't easily ride with the fomo, always consider knowing the riska and in investing so you'll not be stupid when investing.

Also, knowing ADA project is the most important.

Not a wrong choice mate. Cardano still has its potential that is why many people would like to use its name to scam and tricked people because they know investors will invest this coin. But it doesn't mean that gonna be the reason for its failure. Maybe you can see that the price of Cardano is doing well, it pumps together with the others despite those scamming trick.

is it still possible for cardano to be the best altcoin after Ethereum?

Well, that seems possible but couldn't tell when or if its developers would like to do it. It all depends on the developer, if they do nothing to help it going closer to the top 5, I could say that there is nothing that will be change to its current market position.

[Om.monata]

In fact, if it is related to the YouTube platform, it can be resolved by blocking the deactivation of their YouTube account.
but those who have to do the reporting are the parties who are injured or those who have transacted or parties from Cardano. it will be very influential to be able to freeze or delete the youtube scammer account. of course, by including supporting evidence.

In addition to reporting from Cardano parties the cardano fans might help a little help by including evidence if it's fake. So such a thing should be eliminated because it has harmed it, sometimes the person who just joined Cardano could not examine further about Cardano and it would make people lose profit.

I will say it again, you are completely on command of the security of your coins, it would be nice the market was not full of scammers and that something more could be done to stop them, but this is not the nature of this market, cryptocurrencies are based on freedom and this means that you need to learn how to protect yourself from the most common scams, if something as easy as to not give your private keys or your seed words to another person is too much for people then this market is probably not for them.

Good if Cardano still has the potential to continue to rise, because I see not only me who wants Cardano to return to being the best Altcoin after ethereum. there are still a lot of investors who want this. thank you for the information you provide.

[unusualfacts30]

sorry for your loss. I hope you recover it.

In current environment you have to be vigilant to avoid scam sites. Always check official communication channel when you are investing your hard earned money. This can be difficult for new comers and sometimes even old users due to fomo. I am sure there will be a solution in the future but currently this system is still evolving and you have take your own precautions to stay on the safe side.

There's no hard way of stopping it. As long as there's anonymity, there will be scammers trying to trick you and steal from you.
Your best weapon is common sence and some paranoia. Ie everyone is out to scam you!

[leea-1334]

I agree with people above. There is no way of stopping scams. It is not just crypto and it definitely is not just ADA. There are Bitcoin scams and US dollar scams probably even more of those.

Keep reporting the scams like we do on this forum. And keep educating yourself. There is no other way in the end.

I think that many people have their senses dulled, governments should protect their citizens since that is their first responsibility but that does not mean not learning how to protect yourself, common sense still needs to apply, no one would give all of their life savings to a stranger they just met on the street for a few minutes and yet in the market of cryptocurrencies this is incredibly common and then those people complain about losing their money, of course they lost their money, they need to be smarter than that if they want to retain their capital for any amount of time.

[Pito001]

SCAM sites are unstopable in general, man. While people ready to believe in them, we will see scams

[Dexion]

In any business, fraud will always exist as a dark shadow haunting, and they will never stop even though they have been proven to be fraudulent, because they will always have a way to do that, they just think how they can move your assets into their wallets, all we can do is be more thorough in researching a project, and avoid projects that look too good and have minimal flaws.

[MUG1WARA]

So isnt theres a  line when propably a community should raise a red flag (with a permanent warning to its main etrance points : main sites , wallets , videos from their public personas etc)? Even if that means a temp price decline?

Is it ethical to promote a crypto  with round and nice images  while you know a major elaborate scam is taking place?

It's unethical, but I think the youtubers don't really care if their viewers get scammed following their reviews, they all care about the payment they won't get from those scammers, the best line of action the victims of those fraud should take is to report that YouTube channel until YouTube looks into the matter or better still ban the channel promoting the scam project.

Youtube will take it down if there's report that pointing it out into scam, it will be a great help if victims or those who
see this scamming activities report it out to Youtube.

It's unavoidable due to the possible payment after those scammed victims falls into this kind of activities, greedy peps
are after those money.

Bitcoin was also brought back to life when scam investment sites thrived. I only trust the major exchanges and trade there. Be careful with your money. In the crypto space, there are thousands of scammers so be careful.

As long as people have enough knowledge or at least they wanna spend a few minutes to asking about that on the telegram group or something else and people will never fall into the scam site.
The problem is also how we can report the scam site. So many new comers were also getting scammed by the scam site and when scam site will be down and so many newcomers will be safe from the scammers.
ADA community has been doing so many efforts to take down the scam site but their effort were unable to make the scam site gone
