Ways to avoid being scammed!!!

[Wexnident]

Agreed, but not all of them, even your relatives and closest friends, have the potential to defraud you. I agree that you should not trust almost everyone, but I believe that if you are scammed by your family (Mother and Father), you should still trust them but not others because they are doing it for your own good while others are only interested in your money. The best advice I can give is to do your research and avoid investing if the return is easy and quick.

Nope, I'd rather have them talk to me properly rather than doing it like this which is really a half-assed way of actually asking for money or managing it for me (assuming that there's a problem really). Heck, I'd actually restore my trust earlier to a foreigner who scammed me rather than my parents scamming me, since really, it's just a really stupid way of dealing with their child.

most of the time, they don't dig deeper. When they see too-good-to-be-true ROI's, they jump without searching for more info. As mentioned, if the return is not realistic, doubt about its authenticity. You may be falling to a trap and your hard-earned money will be wasted. Scammers are in all forms. Sometimes, you just realized it when you found out you were screwed. So before getting excited, make sure the platform is legit. It is better to get low ROI as long as you can get, rather than high ROI but no assurance that even your initial funds can get back.

That doesn't mean though that low ROI projects aren't scams. There are still some out there, especially ones that actually bide their time. Those ones are the really devious ones imo since they're actually trying to gather the money slowly while thinking investors would still get profit in years. Really, I'd rather get my money scammed rather than my time.

Avoiding scam becomes difficult when greed is at the fore. I just always assume that the goal of business people is the same, namely to reap the greatest possible profit from their business partners. As for companies which offers a maximum profit of 5% of capital is a reasonable level. If it's more than that, I don't think there's any sane business there except trying to trick one of them.

Scammy projects were all around so we need to be careful in choosing what project we will join with. There are projects that seems too good but not able to perform or develop their projects after they got the investment from people. What I learn now is not too hold on too long to projects or if I do I should monitor it every now and them as they might do exit scam after they get what they need.

Sometimes people who were aware of such scams, also falls for it because their greed blunts everything because when money comes in someone's mind they will lose their self control for sure.

Greedy people are always easy to lose their self-control and probably got scammed. I have seen some cases like this, people who know scams well but got scammed because of their greedinees. That's why we must always remember that think realistically and be careful with each decision to do. If someone or a team project offered a big amount of money with no strong reasons, we must suspect them are scammers. No one wants to give their money for free without a reason.

They are greedy people but also poor and sympathetic classes in society, sometimes they just want to get a little more work to have a little more savings for their families and their lives, they are manual laborers and they may not be aware of how serious the results of the scam will be and how it affects them, honesty is too easy for scammers to take advantage of and break through this psychological defense. A good enough life would not need such greed but unfortunately, inheriting such a life is not something that everyone has a right to choose.

Anything that is too good to be true will always come out as a scam. So let's focus more on the reality of businesses rather than believing on projects wherein developers will suddenly abandon the project once they have taken away the profits. Better to be cautious and smart rather than end up leaving in a huge loss.

As scamming becomes rampant not just in the crypto market but also in all kinds of businesses, then we should be more careful and vigilant to see the real intention of such projects rather than giving out all our trust and money as a capital.

Today, fraudulent schemes are represented by both old schemes and a new set. In Ukraine, the most frequent and massive fraud schemes remain:
1. Fraud with bank cards.
2. Fraudulent online purchases / sales, especially on multiplayer platforms.
3. "Classic" schemes of deceiving people (something like "you won a car, draw up documents, send 500-1000 dollars for registration of notarial documents")
/ How to deal with this? Well, at least carefully study the recommendations, and follow them without question. Think ! This is a very strong anti-fraud tool
There are many more types of fraud, but they are already referred to as "narrow-profile"

3. Always remember to log off your personal accounts (emails, social media) etc. when you use public cafe' and

First I would thank you for the advice, but I picked exciting interest in this one, not I think the others aren't important, but because you can Chase the flies by removing the garbage can rather than going after them, i think the best is to have your crypto-currency work email, business email and private emails separately, and I think business and crypto-currency related emails shouldn't be logged on at a cafe, friends phone or you can have a reach out mail this can be your mobile email that you can login on anywhere it shouldn't contain or be used for much.

Before you get involved with anything that appears to be too good to be true, make sure you've done a lot of research. Scammers use promises of numerous benefits to entice people, so don't believe anything that isn't happening in a normal situation because it could be a scam. Being cautious is free; however, you should always keep in mind that poor decisions can ruin your life, and being scammed is the worst-case scenario that should be avoided.

That's is how they treated those people who wanted to get rich instantly. But for us who suspiciously thinking that was a scam will literally be doubtful about that promising and colorful words of scammers. They never win us but somehow they could still found a victim like newbies.
So no matter how hard we tried to warn newcomers about this thing but too unfortunate that there are still a lot of them who got scammed and lose their money with them.

I think you are referring to a particular set of scammers that would do social hacking rather than pure old hacker work and mostly related to identity theft. You can potentially get scammed in so many ways and credit card fraud is so frequent that there is not a single guide that can help you avoid it. Even commercial software sometimes comes with trojans - remember the SolarWinds hack - and even the apparently safest companies may have penetrations from time to time.

There is just common sense left.

Exactly there is only so much we can do to protect ourselves when it comes to a technical point of view and the rest is simple common sense, the most important thing when it comes to social hacks is to know when something is simply too good to be true, many people let greed blind them and because of it they take decisions that under normal circumstances they will not take and by the time they realize their mistake their coins have left their wallet and there is nothing else to do but to accept those losses.

Newbies are always the target of the scammers as they are less knowledgeable and has few experiences on the reality in crypto market. But there are no exemptions when it comes to gaining knowledge. Even if you are still a newbie, you are expected to do more researches often so you will be more equipped on how to trap scammers with their latest tricks and strategies.

My advice is to be aware all the time. Have the full responsibility of managing your account to keep it safe and secured from all kinds of scamming. There will never be scammers if we won't let it happen. So always keep an eye to your own actions and never show any motive so you will be scam.

In this digital age, one should always be careful what sites he is visiting or signing up with his details.
We don't know where our details end up with. So to prevent this from happening or to lessen the chance, don't click sites that you are not familiar with.
Also, one thing to check is to do quick search in google or any search engine. Sometimes, a lot of things already come up when you hit the search button.
One site that I find helpful also is the https://www.trustpilot.com/, just enter the name of the site and search.

I have said many times that scammers wouldn't scam you if you don't help them to do so. Unconsciously we are helping scammers, sometimes consciously as well by taking chance. Since we are related to crypto-currency so definitely somehow greedy offers will pop up the front of us. It would happen through social media like Telegram or Twitter or others sources as well. If we respond to them then we might fall into a scam. Even scammers would hack your wallet or device as well. So the first requirement is to avoid scams that don't help scammers by responding to their greedy offers. So you can save your valuable assets.

I met a liar before. He said he worked as a mercenary in Afghanistan and chatted for half a month. Suddenly I couldn't get in touch. After two days, I sent a message that he wanted to perform the task and needed to send me the secret documents for safekeeping. I deleted him as soon as I heard it. He thought he was an excellent actor, and I was the fool who applauded him. Fortunately, I saw through his trick.

[KingsDen]

Also to add, it is good to suspect everyone. When involving in business with someone the first time, it is safe to assume the person is a scammer, unless proven otherwise later. With that consciousness, you will tend to be very careful.
Also, any opportunity that is too good to be true is likely to be a scam. It's a pity I ĺearnt the hard way.
Again, how often you are pressurised to make a payment is one indication of scam. They will just be on your neck so that you won't have the opportunity to consult or make proper research.

This has been said so many times and I still see people repeating it again and again. No matter how much you say there are still going to be those who will fall for it, so there’s really nothing you can do about this. But anyone who is wise enough will always be able to avoid being a victim of these online scammers.

This command has a lot of tactics that they use, and sometimes they put people into fear and there’s one of the ways that they used to force them to get something out from them. So, that end is you have to be really wise enough to know when things are very wrong and also avoid giving out information that you shouldn’t be giving out to others and keep it to yourselves. When it has to do with the banking, you already know that your bank cannot request your information from you online when you are not present in the bank, so anything that has to do with your banking online you have to make sure that you Got your bank to rectify it.

To protect against a series of attacks via social media and alt communications that contact you without you ever doing so I think you have to think it's definitely a scam. Make a call but you have never had a connection before about the things the scammer is asking. So in this case the scammer does have many ways. We must really keep social media so private when it comes to data theft.

never share our personall data in our social media account was be best way to avoid scammers attact us. alot case happening caused by photo in social media accounts, scammers or hacker could use it for bad stuff. phone number , personal identity , our home location and other should privately safe and never share it to unknown people.

That's right, at this time fraud is rampant because we ourselves are not able to maintain personal data properly. Our carelessness exposes what is personal is more vulnerable and easily misused by irresponsible parties. Staying anonymous is the most important thing to protect the identity of criminals who often seek data from social media.

This document scam is happening more than ever nowadays for some reason.
People on this forum and even off-forum on telegram are looking to extract out your identities.

There are scammers who pretend to give out easy loans and will require you to pass a KYC process created by them. Once you send them your documents for verification, you have no idea in what ways and how brutally they can exploit it. I even heard some loans were taken in other's names and huge problems were caused.

I hear same incident with using other identities, scammers are good and they can create fake information.
Those who are in need and those who are too greedy, mostly the victims of this act. They are unaware that they already entertaining.
scammers.
It's tough to sort it up since scammers are good in dealing with their own research, they've got full knowledge of the act that
They'll going to project. Victims in most cases only realized that they already been victimized after.

Best thing to do, always put your guards up and always do diligence to perform a thorough investigation before dealing with anything.

I'll add up to this.
If someone sends you a voicemail or an email claiming that you bought something that you didn't buy and wants you to call the number they provided to cancel the order, check your bank transactions first. This is a common refund scams.
If someone also calls you claiming that they're from MS, Amazon, or any reputable companies and tells you the same thing I mentioned above, it's a scam. They don't call you for those.
