As interest in digital currencies increases such as Bitcoin, more and more Bitcoin scams promise high returns. Unrealistic lure is clearly a mere cover, and usually ends with the loss of clients' funds. Fraud often spreads in social circles based on trusted relationships. Therefore, we must be aware that there are cunning fraudsters who can actively seek ways to deceive with absurd tricks and offers.
How to avoid bitcoin scams :
1. Know What You Are Facing
You don't need to rush to decide whether an investment product is a scam or not. All you need to do is, take a moment to find complete information about the project. The easiest way to do this is to find information in the form of company details or Whitepaper (if ICO), and other things related to the investment product. Learn all the details carefully and do some research on testimonials, comments, and so on. Another way is to join a Bitcoin forum like Bitcointalk, and immediately ask for credibility of an investment product or company to other members.
2. Avoid Unrealistic Offerings
Usually, crypto currency fraud can disguise its identity by using a social media account or advertising banner that looks professional. Mark Steward, director of FCA law enforcement, explained that when people become more skeptical of the real world regarding investment and consumer habits have changed, investment fraud has moved into the realm of Online and social media.
How to avoid this Bitcoin Scam is, you are better selective about all investment offerings from the Online platform that you did not ask for, whether through social media, email, or even by telephone. Even if it looks official, pay attention to how it is offered. Con artists usually dare to promise high profits to lure victims. So if you feel the promise of profits is unrealistic, immediately ignore the proposed offer.
3. Beware of Phising Web Pages
Increased interest in crypto currencies makes many new investors enter the market. Lots of land in a fake landing page that claims to be a popular digital currency exchange platform. One example is the one that uses the Punycode technique. Through this method, the fake domain 'xn - inance-hrb [dot] com' can be displayed as 'ƅinance [dot] com'. This technique is usually able to deceive consumers, because web pages can look really like the original. You can overcome this by being aware of vulnerabilities that exist in internet browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Opera,
4. Beware of Fake Digital Wallets
Fake virtual wallets often appear online or at the mobile app store. In the example of a fake Wallet fraud that happened, more than $ 3.3 million was stolen from users who want to claim their Bitcoin Gold. To anticipate similar events, many Bitcoin Wallet providers caution clients to be aware of the cloning of scammers who want to steal victim funds by imitating their appearance.
MyEtherWallet for example, warns customers about fake MyEtherWallet in December. In addition, before choosing a digital wallet provider, do research first. Please share opinions on leading crypto forums, both local and foreign. In essence, only use the Wallet provider with a good track record.
5. Beware of Bitcoin Thief Malware
Malware is something that concerns computer owners. But now, a new category of malware capable of stealing Bitcoin-related data has appeared. Malware authorized by the computer owner is able to record typing or search for a file with the keyword "Account", "Password", "Bitcoin", "Wallet", or other keywords specified by the author, then upload the file to an anonymous server automatically.
In addition, there is also a malware that seeks to absorb the computing power of computer users to mine crypto. Anticipating this, YouTube is trying to deactivate ads that take computing power to mine crypto currencies. It is believed, after users see the related ad videos, the computer becomes slow and there will be warnings from anti-virus programs. Malware like this can steal up to 100% of computing power to mine crypto currencies (generally Monero). The solution that can be applied here is to install strong anti-virus protection and active Firewall to protect the computer.
I think that all the governments of the world are so interested in the crypto that they will now do everything possible and depending on them that the crypto, especially bitcoin, will not grow in price anymore. How to avoid bitcoin scams :

This is a good write up for those that are new in community it will really help and prevent them form being victims of scamers
Currently, several online services have been created to detect fraudulent websites and services. Badbitcoin.org is an example. This is considered a trusted site, which provides a full list of fraudulent or verified frauds. Another service on @thatsascam on Twitter is also quite useful. This is a bot that detects spam. These bots check those virtual tracker accounts based on the retweets rate. Take advantage of such tools to minimize the risk of fraud.
Right now there are so many models for cryptocurrency deployment and of course this is very detrimental because now cryptocurrency is experiencing a decline and especially if there is less good information later on such as fraud will make the market go down
What i can suggest is learn to take good care of your belongings, and since your Bitcoin belongs to you then be very careful about it. Do not entrust your personal infos regarding your account to anyone and secure it using authentications.

All the things you mention already very often I found. Fortunately, I can distinguish between regular sites / web, and phishing sites / web. Not only that I also often find advertisements which offer high profits from 300% to 5000% this's certainly very tempting, especially for new users, while the situation is very opposite with actual market conditions. So, with the existence of such advertisements of course it's very doubtful.
Your information is very good for those who are intending to use and exchange Bitcoin!
Not all Bitcoin and all Blockcoin-based altcoins need to be protected from scams!
