what about scammer ?

Scammers in Bitcoin world is really easy to see
Don't trust me? Turn on your common sense and go to the lending sections Grin

hopefully with that common sense you can see and spot which one is a legit loan and the one who will run away with your money
It's that easy to spot scammers Wink

Exactly. Most good scammers are trying to target your credit card, not your Bitcoin wallet. For them, they couldn't really give a shit about Bitcoin wallet, well there are some scammers on Bitcoin, but not many. It is much harder to get scammed on Bitcoin compared to your credit card.

Being scammed will always depend on you, as a bitcoin holder. It will depend on your carelessness and stupidity. If you're scammed, then it is not bitcoin's fault.

What about Mt-gox? There was no way to know before hand and it can happen to more exchanges, even the most trusted ones taking in count that mt-gox was basically THE exchange for bitcoins. Bitcoins make it easier for people to scam because they can open a business, scam and then run away with almost no possibility of being traced

Of course there is no way to see if something like that is going to happen. But you have to be careful yourself and if you invested, it was because of your own stupidity. It is not Bitcoin's fault, maybe you should have invested in another exchange and you might not have got scammed.

The only way someone gets scammed is by being stupid. Yeah Bitcoin has a low fee, but the fact that it has more scam is complete bullshit. If you could explain your topic more, I think people might understand what you are trying to say, more.

rule 1
do not trade with anyone you do not know or do not have the address of, to slap them with a wet fish, should they do you wrong.

rule 2
holding bitcoin is in itself a better investment plan then investing with third parties. thus the only trust you need is with yourself to hold

rule 3
if you do not know or trust someone or some business you are trading with, do not hand over more then you are prepared to lose

rule 4
always trust a guy who can double your coins

People in here as mentioned th ei dea of using a escrow, of course that you should always, always use a escrow! but not only a escrow, but a escrow that will enforce the borrower to deliver a valuable or relatively as valuable as the borrowed money as a collateral, everything else is a guaranteed scam.

!
The bitter truth about bitcoin is that we all learn about scammers after we have been scammed.We get scammed sometimes because of our ignorance and most of the time because of our greed.Bitcoin is more prone to scam because of anonymity and irreversiblitity.We should be more vigilant when it comes to spending or investing bitcoin

Wait... What?

That's true there are many scammer in bitcoin world, but most scammer can be seen easily.

Actually spot a scammer is not too hard, just use your brain or ask someone if you're too lazy. Search about it on google & ask about it on forum you should able to know whether it's scam or not.
Or maybe you should use scam detector Tongue

I'm completely agree with you.. On my own experience, googling or doing a little search on this forum gives a really good understanding on how legit a site we're about to invest is. Hence, I always advise anyone to do these simple steps before investing either their btc or simply their time on solving captcha on faucet

i think scam is minor problem in bitcoin. I think if people are smart, they will not get scammed.

even the smartest people in the world will ever get scammed on real life or virtual world, its really hard to prevent people from being scammed even its minor problem

agreed!! but being cautious will lessen the chance of you getting scam
it is oit a bad thing to ask if the person youre having a transaction can
be trusted.

Ad maiora!

any scam that can be done on the street with fiat can be replicated online with btc. simple as that.

if a guy downtown asks you for 10 dollars and says he will be right back in 15 minutes with 20 dollars, would you trust him, give him the money and wait for him to return with double? i doubt it. why would you trust an invisible anon online for the same? you should actually trust them less. you dont even know what they look like or what country they are in... its harder to catch them.

btc will be full of scams for a long time, just like there are always new scams using fiat. btc might actually become more scam-filled because, like i said above, its harder to trace the scammer and bring them to justice.

its the fault of unscrupulous people. not btc. the only thing you can do is be ever vigilant and trust no one

Try to be aware from the ponzi schemes and don't invest your bitcoins in such sites and you re then far from the scammers. The scammers already used Bitcoin and the other payment methods (including fiat) so it's not necessarily related about Bitcoin currency

ctually Ponzi Scheme implies in itself deceit last users although some of them suggests that time can jump from sliding into the abyss of the train Grin

well scammer is every where digital money or not. its your choice to be more cautious or not.
im sure you can tell if someone is trying to scam you.

I guess OP is saying that with Bitcoin, scam attempts are more prone due to its pseudonymity. It does represent a problem since it isn't recognised as a legal currency by countries yet and if you get scammed, it is impossible to get it back. As it grows, I won't be surprised to see more of such things. Bitcoin multisig escrow is trustless but it needs a neutral party and takes a long time for the transaction to complete.

yes it is, scams are prone in bitcoin but you can easily avoid it by using an escrow and just a simple asking will do to know if
the guy youre having a transaction can be trusted.
