Ways to avoid being scammed!!!

[bittraffic]

In other words, don't be dumb. If a random person approaches you and says that he will make you rich, then you know should know its a scam. They will always end up asking you to send them money or do something very shady for them. If you are greedy, you will fall for it and then get scammed. Ask yourself, why would a random person who you never met or know wants to help you? For your money! If any something sounds too good to be true, then you know...

That's basically screening everyone who goes into your life but it's very effective because anyone who contacts usually needs something from you. So if anyone you don't know sends a message, don't let your guard down. You'd be more comfortable if you are the ones who contact them but still don't let your guard down. Scammers today make their pages attractive to newbies.

Maybe now I'm grown up and experienced to be smarter and won't fall for any scam scheme. One main reason we get cheated is greed, get rid of your greed and you won't be fooled. Don't believe too much in huge profits from any of these projects and it hits your greed and you will lose everything when greed rises.

Its normal human nature to be greedy sometimes especially if we don't know on the things we need to do, maybe the best solution to avoid getting broke for getting scam is to avoid using any amount which is not on your hand since if you borrow or sell something to use it for capital on what or where you are going to then for sure you will not get pressured if things will go slow or bad incident will come to our side and if we can afford to lose the money we put on for sure we will not get stress and feel not greedy to take what we already lose.

The amount of online scams did increased starting last year. My bank has increased the amount of advisory they send out, apparently some people fall for the phishers. Personally I just don't open emails except the one labelled for my SoA and I have filters for those. If a mail saying it's the bill comes in and it's not tagged, I'm not opening it.

Now to the good old social scams, one word, DON'T BE GREEDY. Many were falling for it coz let's face it, the times are tough but at least use your common sense. For example, they're just asking you to register and they give you free tokens but you can only cash that out after you reach a certain amount, which you get by asking more people to register, what do you think that is huh? There's no free lunch these days, especially from strangers.

sounds harsh, but it seems to be true.
actually when it happens when there are people who offer a high enough profit and make us rich, logically it is unacceptable. if this is true, it will serve as one of the options to make us billionaires, why should they bother looking for strangers to offer because they also have family, relatives and maybe even friends.
this is completely incomprehensible to me, and what makes it even more strange is that so many people still believe in this kind of thing.

That is the truth behind those attractive and promising words, most and usually, all of them are a scam trick which we have to be careful enough. Their targets are those who come innocents and greedy people, they definitely had to win and find success as many people are still leaving that kind of attitude.

To ignore them is the best way to stop such scamming activities. We all need money but that kind of colorful word is something out of the reality which I think it was pretty obvious to understand. I really don't understand why many people still become a victim to this.

[verita1]

I'm not denying it. It caused me pain when I saw the ad on Coingecko that the bitcoin.org website had been attacked by hackers. Raising $ 17,000 under the classic promise of doubling the investment.

This scam tactic is the most common one that never seems to end.
Our commitment is to alert people and educate them on how not to be scammed.

Thanks OP for your post.

Always remember that no pies will fall to the ground.

Thank you very much for sharing. Since this is a Bitcoin forum, I would like to say a few points how to avoid being deceived in the blockchain.

1. If you have the ability, it is best to understand the code, which is the core of all blockchain projects.
2. The official website of the project is an important indicator. A high-quality official website is more trustworthy than a Twitter with many fans.
3. Learn to check the number of currency holding addresses and positions on the website, which can help you better avoid Ponzi schemes.

Never ever share your information to anyone. Uses best wallets. Before puting an investment makesure no frauds no scammed take a good information about. And learn more about bitcoin more knowledge.

[Dragonfund]

I think forgot to add the word greed to your context. Greediness is actually what led most investors to fall into scam.

Sometimes it's not greediness that cause most of scams out there. The number one thing that accounts for fraud is been ignorant and exposure, if you are misinformed about that thing that is tending and you decide to get on board, you are likely do the opposite or may be contacted by people who take advantage of others and when you don't know between right or left, that's the beginning of a new story.
Everyone need to be guided on how to safely walk out of scammers trapped, it will reduce the rate of fraud and scams.

[livingfree]

Never ever share your information to anyone.

There are scammers and hackers that has their surveillance on you if they're targeting you.

The information that you spread online and posts on social media platforms, they can use it against you especially those important personal details that must be kept in private.

Uses best wallets. Before puting an investment makesure no frauds no scammed take a good information about. And learn more about bitcoin more knowledge.

And avoid those people that are trying to make you feel comfortable that are saying can grow you more bitcoins.

what I'm confused about here is that basically the way they do it is actually the same and the mainstrea is between one and the other but there are still many people who are deceived by things like this.
whether the person who was the victim of the scam never read things like this or maybe never saw news or content related to this kind of thing.
even though if traced, these fraudulent matters are very often exposed both on social media and on several other platforms.
should have when they were offered something that promised such a huge profit they would have realized that such a thing was impossible. but it may come back again, greed always reigns.

[Fredomago]

what I'm confused about here is that basically the way they do it is actually the same and the mainstrea is between one and the other but there are still many people who are deceived by things like this.

The fact that there are newcomers and greed who continually supporting them.

Sad, true, but they are willing to take the risk.

whether the person who was the victim of the scam never read things like this or maybe never saw news or content related to this kind of thing.

That counts. Without further knowledge, they are prone to be victimized by these scammers around.

even though if traced, these fraudulent matters are very often exposed both on social media and on several other platforms.

They keep circling around knowing that they can keep rinsing in the same venue for possible victims.

should have when they were offered something that promised such a huge profit they would have realized that such a thing was impossible. but it may come back again, greed always reigns.

Greed and lack of knowledge, always the common reason why there are still people who being victimized.

Ignorance + Greed = Scammed.

These two things would always been together because even you do say that you dont have an idea but you do have at least some common sense because easy money doesnt really exist on this world
which means its just normal that you would really be on doubt if you are aware on how the hell that big profits are possible?

You would really be having a question on your mind even you do lack experience or knowledge but at least you do realize on what are the things are happening around.

[Vaculin]

In general, keeping away from strangers who give big offers is the best solution, nothing else. The more we got in touch with them, talk with them, the more likely it drags us and become their victim. We should have to bring aside money but focus on what might be their intention of getting close to us. Thus, if we keep that ignorance and being a fool, we surely know what will happen to us or just to realize after.

[TelolettOm]

It is currently easier to distinguish projects that are scam or not, as well as various programs that are scam or legit.
But unfortunately there are still many people who are victims of scams. And most of them are Newbies, especially those who are greedy and want to get multiple profits easily and quickly.

For the SCAMS project itself, we must analyze starting from WP, teams mainly, project realization, and various other aspects. Sometimes the project is like "Too Good To Be True" also needs to be watched out.

what the conclusion here means is to return to the greed of people, especially beginners and their greed is not based on seeing a source or not wanting to learn something properly and not wanting to know the process.
this can not be changed as long as the new people do not change their way of thinking. because the mindset is that sometimes most people think that crypto is a very easy land to get money but without knowing what the process is like. and maybe not even think about and don't want to know what the process is like for sure they always see profit, that's all.

Must we give a reason for scammers to continue scamming us?

The insensitive increase in scamming activities over the decades has been on the increase in most parts of the world.
People have attributed this increase to several factors and yet, despite the awareness gathered, the trend still strives.

One will be eager to ask ways scammers get this done and the ways are:
1. Through your contacts
2. Through social media platforms
3. Through manipulating your electronic mails (email)

Following the increase in this, it is important and necessary to avoid this by;

1.  Pray to God for you not to be a Victim
2. Always do well to avoid too good to be true messages of you winning a prize for what you are sure you never applied for
2. Emails that are linked with your financial affairs should not be used on almost all platforms and links.
3. When you do POS transactions or purchase, ensure you are conscious there are no smart play with your credit or debit cards.
4. Be updated about the lattest trends and techniques been used by scammers in everyday life.
5. Never let greed control you, as greed makes you prone to been scammed.
6. Mind those who you give your phones to make calls and contacts to people you don't know.
7. ALways be conscious, or better still, avoid connecting with Wifi networks as this is a means of extracting your data.
8. Always remember to log off your personal accounts (emails, social media) etc. when you use public cafe' and
9. Report any problem associated with the loss of any of your financial institutions to your banks.
10. Be able to patiently read terms and conditions before saying yes or accepting terms and conditions sent to you.
   Lastly
11. Be able to cross-check emails sent to your phones regarding your financial statements as the messages are clone to,
    resemble your banks, but rather having slight changes mostly at the middles with one word having different fonts.
N/B: Be responsible and protect yourself from being scammed!!!!!!

You can be scammed in so many ways and credit card fraud happens so often that no single guide can help you avoid it. Even the sophisticated software they send in your spam or spam emails. you need to be careful not to click on it will make you a victim of scam hackers.

[Alisha-k]

They're authenticated applications that help you protect your valid informations from being hacked, download them and reduce your chances of being scammed..
Also, do not be fast to click on links shared to you, take your time to ask questions about the links before accessing them.

Lastly, limit yourself to the number of POS you use, so with that you can easily trace which is responsible for any act.
