Reminders to all Crypto Lovers

they say deposit 3usd in Bitcoin and after 3 weeks they will receive 300usd.

That is one strong piece of evidence to say they are a ponzi scheme especially if the platform promises ridiculous returns. Bitcoin has never promised returns to its investors and traders, so any one of them promises returns within certain timeframe, then believe it is a ponzi scheme. They should avoid it as much as possible, they should care about money.

New year, new ways to scam people and this has been the trend in cryptomarket.
We should know by that what’s a scam project and what is a good one. If you believe on this easily then the probability to get scammed are very high. We should always remember that there is no easy money here and everything needs to be analyzed.

Scammers wont leave the market as long as they make money here, even if we remind everyone here it looks like scammers are still getting what they want, they work with the advance technology as well and most of the scammer today looks more convincing. The best way to avoid this is to educate yourself and don’t invest right away, its also good to ask before you make any decision.

Kudos to you for this reminder! Many might not appreciate it but I do, and it would go a long way in reminding people or even educating the newbies about the susceptibility of the internet and their crypto assets.

I was a victim some years ago, if I had read a thing like this, perhaps it would have helped me to decide better then. And more reason why I appreciate this is that recently, just last month, my gut feeling pushed me to open a third-party link which is against my usual practice. But thank God it's not harmful.

This reminder boosts my ability to resist such temptation. We are all human beings and our weaknesses could strike at any time.

Well appreciated it too. This is not only for newbies but eventually for all crypto lovers that have forgotten now the basics because of their greed into profits. Even myself, I would admit that I have been tempted and scammed a couple of times thinking that taking shortcuts will make you even more profitable, but its not. So always be mindful and even take things the hard way if it’s really needed.

The golden rule for P2P deals is always use an escrow. If also possible do a video recording if you are sending money to someone and if he deny about the receiving of the money. The video will definitely help you to get the case in your favour, if you have any dispute. Moreover the OP has mentioned all good details and I am pretty sure he has done a great research on it.
Nevertheless it will help all the newbies who want to do P2P trades and control their finances independently.

Scammers have a diversified method of scamming in exchange, sometimes if you are novice in some certain exchanges you will lose your coin through a scammer's who update a scam payment receipt to claim the payment of another person, so we have different kinds of scam and we have to be watchful concerning cryptocurrency scam, and secondly cryptocurrency investment scam that always take effect in the telegram social media platform and Facebook social media platform. So all these are a place whereby scammers do capture people who are curious via investment.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who will also get keylogger to their computer and that will be a similar problem actually. Well, they could make sure that whatever you copy paste becomes their address, so when you are hacked or basically in this case you have a virus, you can't just copy your own address and send money there, you paste their address when you try to.

If you are not careful, you will send money to them. I agree that social hacking is more common though, scammers make people send money to them instead, and that's a very risky and dangerous thing. Hopefully not many people would fall for it, but unfortunately many still do.

Fake Receipt Scams

I've been victimized with this after all the years i've been using up Binance p2p which i did end up on getting scammed by a merchant when i had sell my Btc.
Converting it to fiat, then i did able to release those funds without even confirming that the funds were sent through my account.
On that time, thats my first time on being too confident that the funds were pushed through but on the time i had checked it out, then there were no funds being sent.
So this is why its always been suggestable to double or triple check if the funds were arrived.

Oh no sorry about that, you don't have to be confident about anything in life even if it is emaneting from you, you still have to check and cross-check before you believe.
Sadly that is the most kind of rampart scam in the P2P platforms.
How you will understand is anyone that has the habit of pressurising you to release coin as if he is on gunpoint, be careful of that very transaction. Take your time make sure you receive your alert from your bank either as a text message of from email, then you open your app, cross check your balance and make sure that it has topped up that is how careful I used to be before I will release the coin.
Even the platforms always warn about it countlessly

With the help of these new technologies, scamming can easily be made and a lot of people can be tricked as well.
A number of scams ways been exposed now and it was alarming already that no matter what we do to stop all of these things that is impossible now as they are spreading and multiplying. That is why we have to protect our own and let others protect themselves that is the only thing we can do because even though we spread information many and many people still don't listen and still fall into them.

2. Investment Scams

Surprisingly which these things are still rampant or still existing as of today.This was a known issue or hit wayback on 2016-2018 which lots had lost their money
which i cant believe that there are still some sites which are obviously money grab which is still existing as of today which means that there are still

I think Binance p2p is another large place for scammers to easily scam you, earlier this year I was almost being scammed due to user clicked on paid while he hasn't sent the fund to my local account, so I waited for about 1 hour more to receive payment but nothing came to my bank, then inboxed him again asking him to make transfer to my account or otherwise I will have to report his account.
After my treat to him yet he didn't moved to make payment instead he went ahead sending me fake proof of payment receipt after I reported his account he then inbox pleading with me that it was his bad.
Lastly he sent the money before I released the assets on binance, this is where must users falls victims they should try their possible best to be smart enough otherwise scammers will merry over their funds.

We need to keep spreading the news and information regarding scam, tendencies of scamming and the new restrategized ways that scammers implore to get money from their gullible prey because people will always fall because of greed. I see greed as one of the major reason for scammers being in the business, people come into crypto market with the mindset of making quick money and they keep falling on the trap of scammers.

Just to be clear though, it's not Binance P2P problem at all, it's the P2P in that community that is taking advantage of those newbies who just simply released their tokens without verifying it first.

And Binance is giving us warnings when we do trades there.

So just be careful the P2P on them, I have some experienced and luckily I used my common sense so I was not a victim but I heard there are quiet a few, so just be very very cautious and built a list of P2P traders that you have trades already.

The guidelines or reminders made by this article are pretty good for all users of cryptocurrency who are doing trading activities in this industry. If you have any other additional reminders for anyone who is concerned, please feel free to post them here in this thread section for more information on each one

Thanks for all these reminders, Op. We can't deny the fact that scamming is still everywhere nowadays so we should be careful and skeptical. We have to be observant and don't trust people easily.
There will be testimonials and offers that are too good to be true so as much as possible, we shouldn't fall for those kind of traps. They will target those who want to get rich easily so we should have the proper mindset all the time.

Well done for providing this reminder! Many people might not find it useful, but I do, and it would go a long way in teaching the general public—or even the newcomers—about the vulnerability of the internet and their crypto holdings.
If I had read something like this when I was a victim years ago, maybe I would have made a wiser choice. The fact that I recently, within the past month, felt compelled to open a third-party link against my customary habit is another reason why I love this. But praise God, it's not dangerous.
This reassurance increases my capacity to withstand such temptation. Since we are all human, our weaknesses might manifest at any time.

This was the first time I discovered that romance in somehow is dangerous, but the rest said mentioned is correct and
Has a point, this would really give help to the majority of the community here in this industry. Keep it up😊
