crypto scams in Nigeria can be permanently eradicated?

[Taricoins]

In my opinion, crypto scams cannot be eradicated once and for all, as the scammers will always try out new tactics to take advantage of people's emotions and trusting nature. However, such schemes may be minimized by educating ourselves about them. The reason why many people become victims of crypto scams is not their low IQ but their haste when checking out the information.

Among the things that should be done while engaging in P2P transactions include using reliable platforms with an escrow service, carefully checking out the seller or the buyer, and releasing the cryptocurrency only after receiving a full payment. Greed and haste can often make people victims of crypto scams. If we are careful, patient, and attentive, we can save ourselves from scamming.

I feel no matter what we do a lot of people will still fall for crypto scams, especially newbies, you talked about using exchange platforms, some people fall heavily for that especially when this brands are being influenced by there favourite influencers and that's one reason we can't fully encompass the ingenuity of this scammers because we educating our self with recent scam trends can see them changing there approach. So we just have to be very careful.

Agree that education is the biggest lever.
One practical thing more: teaching people to check where a link actually goes before clicking it. Tools that preview and scan shortened URLs exist for free — making that a habit would cut out a lot of the phishing-based scams discussed here.

On the other hand, I don't think crypto scams can be permanently eradicated from the system but I do think it can be controlled only by enlighten the public what these scams is all about and their techniques. What about you, do you think crypto scams in the country can be permanently eradicated?

Proper orientation about how people works towards crypto scam, I mean social awareness on how people should be handling investment could help to control how people may fall victim of cryptocurrency scam or scandal.
Just that one thing that is affecting people around the country is that they don't want to work or hustle they decided not to over work themselves rather staying at a particular place scamming people feels more better for them. Those they scammed do not have enough knowledge or sound information about how those scammers do manipulate them to go invest into whatever they may introduced to them.

I see so many people saying p2p scam can't be eradicated in the country, well, anything involving scams can be eradicated, we have heard of countries that their prison are empty, how were they able to do it? These are the question we should be asking ourselves. For me, I think the government needs to get involved, the security agencies should also step up their games. Nigeria is a country where everyone commit crimes, because they feel they won't be stopped, their scheme won't be eradicated and that's why they continue to scam people. We should start pointing fingers to the security agencies to do their best to ensure that the Bitcoin space is sanitizes, it is possible, we should hold them accountable, they should be able to protect the citizens lives and property.

Ask yourself today, when does this all stop? I guess it won't stop, because we think they can't be eradicated, we believe they can't be stopped, this only means we are having the same mentality With this scammers, meanwhile there are some countries today that don't even have a record of theft now. They might have in the past, but they took some security measures and they made sure their citizens are being protected, educated and free from crimes.

we also have this challenge of those who have the curiosity syndrome, who always want to test something new they’ve found in the timelines of their influencers. They are always looking for something else from any new company, app or website they are invited to, not because they have the interest of making new discoveries but because they are always dissatisfied with what’s currently on their table and are looking for something elsewhere to compliment such feelings. I will encourage us to have this habit that works regardless of the method being used by these scammers and some of them are verifying of any platforms they come across independently, questions unrealistic promises and should stop assuming that something is legitimate simply because a popular person or an influential person promotes it.

I share your perspectives, scams can be permanently eradicated only if the government is ready to impose stricter rules that will make the crypto market uncomfortable for scammers, the government ought to be working with these crypto exchanges because that's one of the major ways they can reduce scamming, working with them to ensure they improve cybercrime security walls, public awareness campaigns and more in other to entrapped these scammers to their pockets, trust me these scammers will be on their toes looking for hideout.

Also the users have specific roles to carry out because they're the targets of scammers, they need to be extremely cautious with the trades they made, the P2P merchants they trade with and they should always avoid crypto deals that are seem to be too good to be true, in that way, one can easily know his stands and corners in the market. Eradicating scams in the country will not only depend on the government but also the users have a key role to play because both parties cooperation is needed.
