How can we act against scammers, hackers and criminals?

[Awaklara]

We must be careful when the site that we want to visit and always make sure that is safe for us. We don't know which one will steal our details so we must be aware of anything that look suspicious.

When we are only alert to something that we consider suspicious, there is a possibility that we will be negligent in some things. But when we discipline ourselves not to approach suspicious things, there is a greater chance that we will not approach scammers or hackers.
As you said, be careful when visiting sites. If we are used to visiting certain sites, whether gambling or familiar exchanges, there is actually no reason for us to visit other sites. So why do we surf looking for new things that are risky?

[Ever-young]

We can never be too careful because scammers come up with new ways everyday for their notorious activities and the more we become wiser to avoid them, the more they become wiser too to keep convincing the greedy people that they are genuine, If we can get rid of greed in our systems and stop looking for a get rich quick scheme then we may be free from being scammed by scammers. Our security knowledge should be upgraded, in this forum there's a lot of productive information on how to handle our wallets and safeguard it from scammers and hackers. I always tell my friends that a scammer has no power to scam you unless you give them the permission to do so.

To protect your self from scammers it's not always the people who are greedy that fall victim to scam sometimes those who are not greedy can also fall victim to scammers depending on the approach that the scammer use some approach the kindness of others and use it to their own advantage you can't blame anyone for being kind and trusting the wrong people, while in some cases it could be a case of little mistake that could lead to exposing your private wallet details to hackers that they can use that against you also.

There are people who love to explore and experiment, so you find them trying out cracked apps and games, and they are eager to test whatever YouTubers recommend without considering the risks they might face. There are many fraudulent and malicious websites and malware injected into these cracks that are likely to cause them huge financial losses if they do not take the necessary security precautions.

Some people are easily tempted by bonuses, giveaways, and high profits, and you will quickly find them among the first victims in the scammers’ traps. For this reason, any suspicious things, tempting offers, sketchy deals such as downloads from sources outside Google Play and the Apple Store, or unfamiliar applications, we must completely avoid them. The security of our devices is the security of our data and information, privacy, and wallets, so we must prioritize it.

You don't need to act against scammers, hackers and criminals. You only need to be yourself, protect yourself with good practice.

You need to have good knowledge about security, good practice, don't be greed that are all enough to protect you from risk of scammers, hackers and criminals. When you are knowledgeable, careful and calm, no scammers, hackers and criminals can beat you down.

I know knowledge is compulsory without it we are opening ourselves to hackers, but I have seen many idiots, doing all the things they should not be doing with their main mails, main devices, or anything that makes them vulnerable to hacks, they even fell for those basic ads which pays them money too (hehe), and still they are safe, their funds are safe, so, we can say luck is the next thing we can have.

Because there are people, educated ones, won't name but they have shared their stories here, got hacked, lost funds, they do have the updated knowledge, but still how! They were acting fast, they were tired, not thinking straight, clicked mistakenly, etc. later they regerts. We all can do the same mistakes, so it is better to build a habbit of thinking before doing anything, even a single click.

Just do not get involved with stuff which tells you that you can make money out of it or if someone offers something for free, 99% of the time that's a scam.
Also, try to avoid adding random people on your social media. More likely they are trying to collect more information regarding you for social hacking. Good Luck!

Saying it just the way you did is very easy but there are so many newbies in here and outside the forum who are not smart, they have not encounter this issues before, neither have they heard about any of such incident and because they are not aware of such situations, they will likely become a victim if they are not yet aware of the different methods and  devices that these scammers, hackers and the internet criminals are using to steal from other people that were once a victim.

The things you said can serve as a warning for anyone, but best way to prevent some newbies from falling victim is through, education, enlightenment and awareness. When they are already aware of the past experience of other users and have also learn the different formats that are used by these scammers, they will be very conscious to what ever they are doing. Let's us who are aware of this situations, educate others.

Mind people you grant access to you space and avoid clicking on or accepting any unknown app. or messages sent to you.

There is no doubt that scammers are getting smarter day by day, so if we know their previous tactics, there is a possibility that they might come up with something that we never heard about, but what can save us from them, in general, is our basic understanding about how things work in the online world and that we should get vigilant and warn ourselves when we see or hear something about free money because as they say, there is no free dinner.

Apart from that, we as humans can barely control and stop ourselves from looking for new things and new opportunities and there is nothing wrong in that as long as we remember that this world is full of scams and scammers. If we keep that in mind all the time, we wouldn't be easily scammed or be scammed at all.

If we become naive and childish and don't care about what might happen when we get good offers from strangers, then it's our fault if we get scammed.

However, scammers and hackers are becoming more dangerous everyday. Our greed and love for money have surpassed our patience, making us more vulnerable.
To protect ourselves, we must always be vigilant and aware of their tactics. By avoiding unnecessary links and being cautious online, we can reduce the risk of falling victim to their scams.

Yes, you are right. Scammers and hackers can trick their target without they realize and they are smart enough to play with the psychology of their target and interfere they think. Their target will not realize and just follow what the scammers and hackers want until they lose all they have. We must take care and secure our things before we get a problem from them and not trust for the offers that tempt us to buy or join. We must be careful when the site that we want to visit and always make sure that is safe for us. We don't know which one will steal our details so we must be aware of anything that look suspicious.

Honestly, no one can ever be careful when it comes to online activities, and the best thing we can do to protect ourselves is to never use an outdated operating system, browser, Microsoft Defender, and an unpaid anti-virus.
Another one is never don't be greedy, never click random links, install untrusted software, and never use the account or email used for crypto activities for other things.

These are what I know as the way to be careful, and any crypto enthusiast that don't follow these steps can easily get into trouble.

Scammers act smarter than their victims that's why they are always ahead to discover the new strategy they can use to get the attention of people in order to lure them to scam them more reason why everyone who is into cryptocurrency investment should be careful and cautious not to trust anyone they they don't know even when they are being so nice to them.

Scammers act smarter than their victims

Scammers are pretty stupid and they don't need to be smart or smarter than victims to scam victims. You can be a very smart person but if you are careless and greedy, you can be a victim of scammer.

Scammers are the smart ones, be careful.

On the other hand, scammers are often pretty stupid

that's why they are always ahead to discover the new strategy they can use to get the attention of people in order to lure them to scam them more reason why everyone who is into cryptocurrency investment should be careful and cautious not to trust anyone they they don't know even when they are being so nice to them.

Scammers usually use nearly scam methods with very little changes to past scam methods, and they are not smart enough to create completely new scam methods.

Victims as said are only too careless, and very greedy so that they ignore all basic preventions. If people are more careful, scammers will have very lower rate of successful scam rate.

I read this post well from beginning to end and learned a lot. It has good directions to avoid scammers. I hope everyone will benefit from this post. But one thing should always be remembered and that is that with time, scammers adopt new methods to deceive people. So you should always be careful and stay away from anything that seems suspicious to you.

Even though the internet is already widely spread still not aware with the different attacks to stole their funds as possible don't entertain much as you can if you didn't expect any kind of message, calls and emails most like this is their way to get touch on you so immediately avoid, if you make a contact still make sure you are with yourself because sometimes others getting carried away with their emotions and experience reverse engineering and reason why they got stole your basic information. Spread your learnings to other because even they are aware on it bare to remind them sometimes people getting manipulated easily base on their current state.

The best way to act against the criminality of hackers and scammers is to expose how they operate, by sharing experiences and information others will learn. When you keep what know about the activities of hackers and scammers you are encouraging them to steal from more victims. I've learnt a lot of ways that these criminals penetrate their victims and I also share my experiences and everything I've learnt to others. They are getting more sophisticated everyday and one of the best ways to stay ahead of them is to be informed of their tactics. In summary we should be obligated to let as many people as possible to know about the latest tactics of scammers and hackers through word of mouth and communities that we belong to.

You are correct when we share our experience it helps prevent people from getting scammed there was an experience someone shared what happened to him when he did Bybit P2P trade the person that was to send him the money for the coin he sold did not send the complete money the person removed little from the money and thinking he won't notice but he noticed and told him he won't release the coin until he sends him his complete money when the buyer saw the message he had no option but to send him his complete money.
He shared this experience in our local board and I saw it some weeks later I decided to trade in Bybit P2P and same thing happened to me but because of the experience shared in our local board I knew what to do and I after I saw that experience shared I was very careful when I was trading and that helped me from getting scammed when it happened to me, so one way to stop all this scam is to always share your experience it will help prevent others from getting scammed and know what to do when such what's to happen to them.
