Crypto agents on the increase

[Natalim]

scammers are certainly looking for many ways to trick their victims, they will continue to innovate to convince people with all their evil ideas.  chat via telegram is not a strange thing, maybe this is the easiest way for stupid cheaters because it is only tricked in a simple way but people will not be easily influenced by his sweet invitation.  we just need to report and block immediately when suddenly there is a DM from an unknown stranger

Very often you find DMs on Telegram inviting you to invest or rewarding thousands of dollars for just following their advice. Scammers continue to innovate in making traps so that their targeted victims can easily enter the trap. We as crypto activists must also be smarter and more aware of the modes used by scammers. No one will give money for free with an unreasonable amount. do not easily trust strangers on the internet, they are only after our assets.

Then, it's up to you to respond but I discourage doing that especially when it talks about investing in new projects that we never know and much more if talks about multiplying your money as this is a very common trick used by scammers. Nobody will get a scam or become a victim of such trick/s if we care to listen and analyze it carefully. Scammers will take you down and get fooled if you are a greedy person. in fact, it was very common and we know what will happen next.

By not responding to DMs from strangers on telegram or on other social media, it is the first step to avoid the trap of scammers. I even have almost dozens of DMs sent by scammers and I blocked them all. This is a trap that is common and known to many people, but for those who are still trapped and can be manipulated by their minds by scammers, of course they are too greedy and believe in scammers who want to give a lot of money instantly. We have to think rationally, no one will give away a lot of money with just a few easy tasks or giveaways.

Traps are made to trap prey, which is what scammers have been doing all along. Ignoring the little things can have dire consequences, especially when it comes to money. Nothing we should trust before they do due diligence, it is clearly recommended to prevent financial loss.

Many people say: Telegram is a paradise for scammers, it is a unique fact because scammers always pretend to be good people there. Report and block them, of course recommended. But they will become someone else by changing their username, that's how scammers work.

you will notice these scammers will just delete their account if you ignore their PMs especially in telegram. one basic rule is, if they sent you a PM, ignore it. usually they will offer too-good-to-be-true return of profits, which they are offering as a bait for most naive users.
most of them are looking for gullible users who are new in this market, looking for options on how to get rich quick. anyway, they will learn their lessons on their own time. but mostly, after being exhausted their funds.

As scammers are on the rise in crypto, that's the way we should level up our intelligence when venturing into a new project. Scammers are not supposed to level up their strategy to dupe us with our funds while we sit back without finding ways to stay above scam projects.

The best way to stay above these scammers is:
1. Never promote their projects on social media platforms.
2. Invest in what you can afford to lose.
3. Don't necessarily be greedy when they promise high returns on investment.
4. Avoid shilling projects on Twitter and telegram.

Ignoring scammers is one of the best ways to avoid some of the attacks they will carry out. So they will not have the opportunity to invite you or the victim to have a discussion. Dozens of DMs from this kind of scammer use many pseudonyms and most of them use beautiful and attractive female names and photos. Anyone who needs help will never DM an unknown person's telegram, and this is a warning for beginners who are new to telegram not to be deceived by this type of fraud. this can be very detrimental if the victim does not know what the scammer's hidden intentions are.

True, but I think what happens is that people are using their personal telegram account as the account in which they join trading groups and the like as well, this means that when they receive a message like that instead of being suspicious of it they decide to interact with it as they will do with another stranger they may like to talk on that platform, it is because of this I think it is a good idea to have two different accounts, one for socializing and one for doing activities related to this market, as in that way it is easier to detect the scam.

What will you like to add  to this?

Avoid joining any scam campaign because you are helping that company to scam more investors or gamblers.
There’s a lot of fake broker, fake site and fake project in cryptomarket if you will invest or follow any news or hype carelessly most probably you will ended up on that trap and might become a victim of a scam. The best advice is to educate yourself because this will be your greatest weapon in this market.

Op that is preaching on how to avoid scam is the same person that is advertising for scam signature, at least it suppose to practice it and show good example to the offsprings of the community, it's very obvious that majority of people's who are here are one creating room for scam to other people, so therefore we to be extremely careful in any investment we are to venture into, according what you have narrated so far, concerning op been indulge into campaign that gamble and scam people, so from my perspective, i think op supposed to withdraw its self from scam signature campaign of 1xbit before it's complain will be regarded as positive.

More awareness is required among the common people. I personally know people around my locality investing into cryptocurrency. I even made a thread to get a clear understanding about a project Bittron - Anybody heard about it?.

There are people who roam around as business developers are trapping the common people with high return statements. The people also doesn't have any understanding and just invest and end up losing.

Innocent and greedy people are mostly their target victims. I'd see this happening also in my country and a lot of people invest wrongly in a person so-called middleman. A promise to multiply your money over a few days xxx is certainly encouraging without knowing the risk and possible scam it ends.

We can't really ignore that many people will take advantage of the situation to spread wrong information and scam people. These agents have no intention to help the community but just seeking for themselves to earn.

Read whitepaper and research well of company where you are going to invest because many scams are done by this method. Check whether it is genuine or fake..

that's the basic rules.. In addition for me it will always good to know how to make technical and fundamental analysis so that you can get specific information what is the situation of the projects you want to invest.. Many projects delivering a good testament but they always ended into a scam , so we need to be smart enough before investing or whatsoever.

It is important to have a lot of preparation before investing or trading,
crypto is a big risk so when we don't have the knowledge and skills then the chance of losing is certainly big,
learn technical and fundamental analysis is also important

Well now it is very delicate to operate, we all know that when we make certain movements the market can come against us, more in crypto, now when it comes to an altcoin, it is best to bet on a short, because as the BTC is wobbly, it is very likely that strange movements may occur, and it is better to win a little than to lose a lot, I like it when I leave a trade, and if I win a little I come out in the negative, if I come out in the negative it is always something like a loss, it is not well, the best thing is to win little by little, it's something like a business, where you always have to have a positive balance, but in the long term that's where you see profitability.

Obviously scamming grew bigger because everything became a bit more online and technological. Doesn't mean that there weren't any scammers before online payment world got big, but it wasn't as easy as it was today, on the other hand with crypto it became even wider and that’s the trouble we are going to be in if we do not careful, and scammers will take full advantage of the situation.

If it is easier for scammers to take advantage of us, then it is up to us to be even more careful and if we are not then we are going to be in full on trouble. This is of course not something you can do in a single day, you need to learn how to not get scammed as well as scammers learn how they can scam you.

Technologies have been growing and developing fast but along with that side, scams and any form of fraud, and illegal activities are also increasing.
It is quite disturbing and the government looks at crypto as a huge contributor to such events, and a reason why some countries wanted this to stop and even ban it.

If it is easier for scammers to take advantage of us, then it is up to us to be even more careful and if we are not then we are going to be in full on trouble. This is of course not something you can do in a single day, you need to learn how to not get scammed as well as scammers learn how they can scam you.

This is one of the disadvantages but we don't let these scammers win over, and that is why we have to be more vigilant and never make a decision without doing research.

Its not new anymore and if we do speak into those markets even when crypto space doesnt still exist, its already existed.As long there's money involved then you would really be able to expect that there are people

who would really be taking advantage specially into those noobs or someone who doesnt have much idea on how this market works.Even though we are saying that we should make use of our common sense but

surprisingly there are still people whom do really fall out with these common scams.If you arent really that making yourself that to investigative on things then most likely
you would really be that victimized with these scams.

Scammers will always chase investors where they could scam and take money. We can't really control them because they're even increasing in number each day but we can get rid of them by being skeptical and careful of our moves. As scammers get wiser, we have to be smarter as well.
It's just a sad thing that some people even the old investors are still falling for their trap. Sometimes, greed is the reason why we fall as their victims. Where there is money, there will always be the existence of scammers but we should always be observant and be fully equipped with the knowledge to avoid them.

Speaking about enhanced way of scamming then its true that we should really be that prepared and aware as well because scammers are really that becoming good
on victimizing people and using up some new method and not the old ones which had already been busted up which is normal for them to do so.
Although once you do have the experience in the past on being scammed then you are already making yourself fully aware on what are the probabilities.
You could easily spot out or notice if there's  something shady happening around.

When there is money to be made, scammers will grow bigger. There are still some scammers that try the old "Nigerian prince" scam, but as we all know that got a lot lower. Because, there is no money to be made from it and everyone learned about it already.

However, if we are talking about sophisticated brand new stuff, that’s not gone just yet, that’s actually doing better, which is why I believe that they are doing it more and more because people actually fall for it. The way to stop scammers would be not falling for them, if nobody takes the bait, then nobody would try to scam neither, why would anyone try to scam you, if they know that you won't fall for it?

Scammers always seek an opportunity to trap new victims and as the blockchain community and cryptocurrency users are going bigger, they are also increasing in numbers and finding new strategies each day that will attract new victims. Most of us have been scammed when we were beginners but newbies nowadays are luckier because they could easily get warnings from crypto professionals but it's still necessary to do continuous research because knowledge will always be our weapon against scammers.

Its a never ending story on which scammers are indeed everywhere.They could really be just anytime to make things look real but totally just pretending and their main motive is to scam out users with less knowledge and this is why you should really be that careful and be self aware on what are the things you are encountering.

Speaking of using CEX then this is something which cant really be that avoided where we do really fully rely on it since this is the main platforms that we've been using
considering on how its mainly needed as of todays but of course you should really be always mindful about the risk involved.

Newbies can benefit from our experience and avoid most of the scams in the market by simply listening to our advice, but is it that what happens in the market? No, what we see is a bunch of newbies which believe they know everything there is to know about this market and which refuse to listen to us, then when they are scammed they even complain about no one warning them about the dangers about this market, which is ridiculous because this is something we do all the time.

I believe that not all of them. There are some over confident newbies that are full of themselves refusing to listen or read advise of those who have experienced it or some of them are just being blinded by their greed and believing too good to be true offers that results in ignoring the warnings. We should keep posting about warning people, Even if we don't teach everyone of them to be cautious, I'm sure there are someone who will be listening and believe on what we are suggesting.

Never invest on someone that will promise a huge return.

Crypto investment schemes has becoming more rampant again in our country. I always see a lot of post on social media that offers an investment table where you can earn as much as 30% monthly of your investment. A profit like that is too big and very suspicious since they also say that the source of money comes from crypto trading. Cryptocurrencies are very volatole that it's difficult to make profit from it consistently. Investors that are not well educated yet about crypto are easily blinded because the promoters use the historical increase of bitcoin.

Never ever make yourself believe into those easy money or easy profits because it doesnt really work on that way.There's no way that you could make money on the easy way.

Anyone who do promises out on having these things then better avoid or ignore.You would definitely get scammed or would be completely be fooled and if you do make yourself believe just because you are greedy
then for sure you would really be that be losing money.
Lots of scammers and fraudsters do really take advantage of peoples greediness and this is the result on why lots had been scammed due to that mistake or error.

It is evident that, this scammers never rest and are always on the lookout to possible victims. There are a whole lots of new techniques used by this scammers which includes plagiarizing website, use of fake photos and so on.

I've also understood that most of this scams work mostly on people who want so much return on a deposit in few minutes, and this scams are mostly common with alt coins. I've also read some topics about how to secure your funds and below is the link to the topic
