Am a beginner and I was telling a friend about this forum and it's beneficiaries, but it all turns that he said it all a scam so I want to know how to identify scammers and if there is any how can we know them as a beginner.
Although the trust system isn't perfect, still it's one of the ways to identify scammers as those previously caught are always red trusted and we have users keeping a watch for this types of users to mark them immediately they're reported. Another thing you should note is that, never fully trust anyone you meet on the forum especially those that reached out to you first, always treat them as scammers until proven innocent. Don't click on any suspicious links been DMed to you as we have reports of phishing links been sent to users in DM. The forum doesn't moderate scams so you're responsible for your own safety.
Just consider the forum as a place to get information on cryptocurency and then discuss. When you do such then you'll most likely reduced the chances of you getting scammed as you avoid getting investment recommendations outside Bitcoin from the forum. Instead of been afraid of scammers on the forum, I think what's most important on the forum is the intake of bad advises as everybody seems to be a professional with their advice. Always filter information you come across over here to avoid been misinformed.
