Staying away from scam.

[Die_empty]

It's the end of the year again,where the pressure of wanting to "flex" or look fulfilled for the year,while in reality the year might have not gone so well.
So many people look for get rich schemes with ridiculous percentage gain,this scammers know there's an increase desperation by people this period.
So they ride on your greed to make it quick and rip you off your hard earned funds.
It's imperative you take your time, know what you're getting into before venturing into it, remember all that glitters isn't gold. If it's too good too be true,my friend I can tell you for free, it's most likely to be too good to be true.
Stay safe my friend.

The majority of people that fell for scammers were driven by greed. They decided to invest in a get-rich-quick scheme without knowing or considering the consequences. Fast money is the reason why most people prefer to put money in shitcoins because they assume that Bitcoin is too slow. They want to invest today and make a profit in a few days. I am not moved by the pleasure or fun of the end of the year, hence I don't make investment decisions because of the season. I spend based on my income and I am contended with the little things I can afford. So I am not under any form of pressure because of this festive season.

It has always been recommended that every investor should do comprehensive research on any area of crypto he intends to invest in. Nobody should lure you to invest in what you know little or nothing about. Forget about the hype on diverse social media and other communication platforms. These firms can even hire well-known sportsmen and other celebrities to promote their poorly planned crypto products or services just for the sake of attracting unsuspected investors. Any platform or crypto Investment that promises high returns within a short period should be investigated.

Quick money to be able to have a great holiday celebrations is what may lead people into falling for several scams that are already over the place. The holidays is about family. It is not about who is better than the other. It is about family, love and togetherness. There is no one to try to impress because there is always someone who has it better than you.

Do not set unrealistic goal without a tangible plan. A person may set a goal of making $10000 from cryptocurrency before the year runs out and when you ask them how to aim to achieve it, they will tell you that they will invest in some shit coins, memecoins, nfts,  and once it pumps, they cash out. This type of person is only going to set himself up for being a potential scam target.

DO NOT TRUST VERIFY.

Thanks for the advice. The increased in number of scams during this period may not really have to do with the hustle and bustle of the end of the year. We are in a time when the space is being flooded with many fake projects because the market is getting bullish. The hype of the bull season is attracting many entrants, more newcomers are coming into the space and scammers will like to play on their ignorance by launching all kinds of pumps and dumps just to rip them off their funds. We should always do due diligence before investing on any project.

Scam is just one thing that I have come to realise: scammers don't need any reason for them to start up a scam scheme; it's just their usual business, and that's where most of them feed from. They steal from others in order to feed themselves and their families; it's as bad as that, and they don't care about how the next person they are scamming is going to feel.
 
So most times it's about greed, or about looking for quick money. Most times it's just about trusting the wrong people, who we should not even trust with a pin in our house, and trusting someone is just all most of these scammers need, as most people don't waste their time or resources on something they know nothing about, but based on who brought that information to them, they have to give a little of their trust to that, and they end up getting scammed along the way.
 
So to me, anyone who wants to get free from scams should at least have a little trust issue with anyone they have not met before. At least, such precautions can save a lot of people from losing money to strangers.

Yeah, scammers really take advantage when folks get distracted over the holidays.  People let their guard down and they'll click on sketchy links or listen to pitches that seem too good to true.  Can't blame them too much - who doesn't want some extra cash this time of year?

But this time of year brings a chance to reflect on our finances and set some sensible money goals.  Instead of panicking about money when the holidays roll around, we could use this as a jumping-off point to cultivate better financial habits.  It's a chance to educate ourselves, make thoughtful changes, and work toward being in better shape next year.

Mistake of other people is they still believe that there's online platform that can make them rich nor a token with no solid future plan can give them a lot of profit that's why they always been caught up with repeat scams happening in crypto.

If they are just aware on any to good to be true offers or know how to play with the fire on investing on token and don't ask to much for it for sure they can get the best result of their investment but if they became more greedy to ask some huge profit out of it then expect that being scam will be their end point.

To stay away from scam much better if they just go away on obvious scam and don't invest on quick rich schemes.

Speaking of flex and looking to fulfill it for the end of the year. It depends on geographical location, in the US the time for the preparation of the new year has passed but in countries mostly Africa this is the moment for their preparation for the end of the year activities.

So many people look for get rich schemes with ridiculous percentage gain,this scammers know there's an increase desperation by people this period.

Yes, but with the report and ROI investment scam scheme. I believe only the newbies will fall for get rich pyramid scam scheme.

Apart from crypto self, in anything you are doing in life, being greedy kills. Most people get scammed because they are to greedy and want to make money with ease. Nothing comes free. When something is too difficult to be real, then run away from it. Although I've been scammed twice even though it not in the crypto space but scam is scam, so I have learnt my lesson.

Yes, exactly. We have to be careful everywhere, including crimes in the crypto world, subtle crimes. There are many ways to do this, and most of those who fall into the trap of these fraudsters are those who are greedy and greedy because this is the main target of the fraudsters.

Those who are greedy will be caught in their seduction by multiplying profits or something similar, in the end we will experience losses or perhaps something even worse. Moreover, fraudsters are now increasingly sophisticated, so it is true that at the end of a year like this, especially when the market is in a good trend, there will be many fraudsters appearing looking for victims, always be careful in everything, especially in the crypto world.

This time around scammers ain't smiling,  they will try all means to drain your hard time earnings because in this season they are alot of desperate people that  want to make it pretty fast with lesser effort. Because of that mind set they have at that moment.  they we then focus their skills in scamming other desperate and greedy people. There's reason they call them greedy   just imagine someone  came to meet you telling you about a way you can a large amount of money using a lesser amount in a short period of time. Without researching nor thinking you just dive in because you also want to earn large amounts of money with lesser effort, is better to manage the little you have than to lose it. If wasn't for greed and desperation you wouldn't have easily fall as victim.

[Crypt0Gore]

The truth is, they are getting extremely good at scamming, the most popular one is using greed to lure people, and we all know that greed is something that almost all humans have in them, from free offers to fake raindrop links and also fake NFT and tokens sent to your wallet address waiting for you to claim them, little do people know that it's all a big scamming plan, once you try to claim the free things your wallet is a second away from getting drained..

The best advice I can give you is to avoid every possible free stuffs in crypto space, either through mails, messages or PM, or even in your crypto wallet address, do not try to claim any free things, and if you are someone who is deeply into airdrops make sure you don't store any valuable coins or assets on such wallet, use it only for airdrops purposes only.

Your main crypto wallet is meant to stay offline for more safety assurance, you shouldn't use such wallet for any Airdrop tasks or use such wallet to claims and buy stuffs by connecting them to a platform.

And they will just fail if we have to think about their offer first. Most of the time we take action first before thinking until we find out that we already fall into a scam. Yes, scammer will find their way and by all means, they will get you no matter what. That is how aggressive they are and every mistake we commit a big chance for them to succeed. That is why we have to stay away and never listen to people who talk about investments that offer huge ROI because this is a clear scam trick. In fact, nobody will give you "profit" if you do nothing.

[sunsilk]

Regardless of the season, these scams will always be there. No matter how many of us direct newbies to the light, they will continue to exist.

A continuous drive of campaign and information that gives warning to the new and even the older ones must be done. We can start with our relatives and friends then online friends and so on.

I have my friends again approached me this December asking for specifics about the crypto market and investing on it, and the reason for that, they don't wanna get scammed.

People believe on such things because they want to become rich quickly. These "too good to be true" kind of deals and offers are usually a red flag and it is important to watch out for these.
Online scams are on the rise and more and more middle class people are the victim of these scams because they want to get some extra money for their expenses. Now a days, people are scamming others through email and fake phone calls. Do not share your personal and family information with anyone until it is a certified government department.

[AakZaki]

Of course this is advice, but you also need to put it into practice too. There are many ways that can be used to stay away from fraudsters, one of which is to do research and don't believe the big profits provided by other people. There are no easy profits from just a little work. there will be challenges of course. Many scammers take advantage of other people's ignorance so that they can get trapped with promises of big profits. Crypto is a place where there are quite a lot of scams, so you need to be careful.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

If you are very desperate to get rich and you are also very greedy, impatient, and selfish at the same time, then the person getting scammed is just 5/6. Those kinds of people are what scammers are looking for.

I think the ratio is even higher than that, its 8/6 cos that person is blinded to reality and is living his/her life on fiction and false truths. This is the major loophole maximized by scammers to promise such person unimaginable opportunities and breakthroughs, thereby exploiting his/her vulnerability easily and scamming them finally. One thing that marvels me greatly is how people leave their brains behind while engaging in such schemes, they do not even ask themselves important questions like:  

• Are these companies dully registered with the country's corporate bodies?
• how do they make their own money?
• Who are the team behind the project, and how reliable are they?
• Do they have a feasible money making strategy?
• is the money they promise you commiserate to the money they make themselves from their activities?
• do they have proper risk management team?
• which valid company covers the insurance on the money you invested?
• their certificate of investment, if there is any, is it valid under the law?

If you are careful enough, you should verify all or most of these points mentioned above to know the authenticity of these companies. They come promising good things and breakthroughs that they themselves couldn't even attain and if you're insensitive of their plans, you will be a cat fish for their pepper soup.

If we talk about the crypto world, of course it won't be far from fraud, in fact they won't be able to trick their victims, just look every year the fraud methods change, starting from telegram bots, chat, phishing. and offers tons of crypto benefits just for doing the job. easy. In essence, they use various methods to trap their victims and are always there at any time, especially when market prices start to rise, the fraudsters will carry out their actions with various kinds of tricks. And it is true as you said, to avoid this we have to be careful and continue to do research or continue to follow crypto developments.

I also often get chats from Telegaram with foreigners, initially they invite acquaintances and claim to be investors and offer various kinds of big profits. This is one of the signs of a fraudster, we have to be careful. Don't be easily tempted by the lure of wealth that is offered because no one gets rich and tries to get rich. There is no such thing

Scammers look for greedy people and they will easily know these people based on their aggressiveness and conversation. Scams are everywhere and it is too hard to trust someone online, especially when it talks about investment and money. But I was just wondering why many were still falling into this trap and just wondering why many were still not able to determine if this was a scam offer or not. Some say that a person can't determine if a project is a scam until they experience getting scammed.

The sure thing is, that there will be lots of propaganda and some people who will gonna take advantage of the current hype, to stay away or prevent yourself from becoming a victim of their frauds and scams, you need to have enough knowledge to shield yourself from their sugar-coated worse and false promises. Yesterday I saw a post on social media where they asked for people who were victims of Ponzi Schemes in the past and you cannot believe what I saw, though it's only restricted in our country, the number of victims is huge and some of them even blame bitcoins for their loss without knowing that it's also a victim like them because it was used as a prop to lure them and make them believe that is a way to invest in bitcoins.

[Kelward]

December, being the last month of the year that has Christmas and new year celebration is a month that many people get scammed, so it's a time to be very alert and vigilant concerning every financial enticements. Many scammers will want to accomplish the remaining of their new year resolutions, before another new year sets in. Therefore their desperation will increase, and it'll fall on ignorant victims to pay the high prices with their hard-earned money.

We should avoid opening sites from unknown sources, verify every Link that promises to reward you for what you did not apply for, avoid Ponzi schemes of any sort, avoid people that tells you to apply with money to be rewarded by an NGO, because who wants to help you will not tell you to pay money first before receiving help, avoid unknown persons who calls you for help, most are scammers.
