Scams have existed since the birth of the internet, even before it. I don't really expect scams to go away regardless of the market situation, but yea, in bullish times, scams tend to be more numerous and spread out due to the number of inexperienced investors going into the cryptocurrency markets. Keep your eyes peeled at all times, regardless of the price of bitcoin.

Yeah right scams and hacking of data are very common and it is strt when the internet cane being. So we should be aware from these scams

Not just aware of this scams but we should know how it works so you will be able to know what you will be doing when you encounter this kind of people. We should be really careful on the links we click even if it is a link sent by our friends. It might be contaminated with virus that can make then access your PC and steal personal identities or accounts that is so important.

Expect the unexpected! Bitcoin is becoming popular all over the world. And because of that, many scammers are taking it advantage in order to fool people. I believe that if these scammers will be prevented to penetrate in this industry, scamming will be lessen. At the same, we will expect a large number of investors who are confident with their investment.

Scams are more successful when people are not knowledgeable about something. Right now, we are still going through the early adopter phase and ordinary people are mostly ignorant about the basics of Bitcoin (although many of them might have heard about it). So for the next few years we need to deal with these scams, but educating people against them can make a difference.

I agree because I notice a much more quiet events of scams in the last year up to the present compared to 2017. Scams like thebillioncoin, one coin that existed on facebook. There are also hyips that got me attracted and lost my money. Only left by now are those telegram scammers pretending to be part of any team. I don't see much of them nowadays but like you said OP, I'm certain that they are going to change their scam strategy.

Lack of legalization or the lack of clarity in the legal status is the main reason why there are so many scams with the cryptocurrencies. The criminals know that even if they con someone, there is a low chance of the victim going to the cops and complaining about the incident (especially in countries such as India and China, where the legal status is unclear).

In my opinion, in any situation bitcoin is increasing or there is no increase in scamer has been around for a long time.
and if bitcoin increases very high, I think more and more scams will try in any way to be able to have bitcoin in a criminal way or by any means without thinking of people who have been harmed because what he has in mind is that bitcoin will make lots of money and will make it rich.

I didn't lose BTC but ETH in a transaction I didn't use an escrow in.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50803111

I gave all the details in the thread for everyone here to see and learn from my mistakes and never trust anybody without an escrow even if you had more than 100 deals with them as in today's world, anyone can scam due to various reasons.

This goes along whenever Bitcoin is on the rise and you will be surprised that even when there's a lot of scams has been exposed to the public and a lot of warnings has been published, people continue to patronize scams like those doublers and 1.5% per day interest in 60 days schemes. It's also the fault of this people patronize and promotes it.

many people use it to make a profit without thinking about the loss of others. should the person be able to choose and analyze what they can do about bitcoin whether it is true or not. so fraud in the name of bitcoin will not occur and spread widely

Bitcoins has more enemies that wish bad for it than lovers of it that is why with the with a little scam recorded about Bitcoins is hyped in the media but dollar scam seems normal. As Bitcoins is entering a bull run, some bad guys might use the opportunity to prey on newbies and eventually Bitcoins will be tag again as scam.

It seems that this can not be separated from this, where there is an increase in the value of bitcoin so many are tempted to do things that are not commendable by cheating. it seems that fraud can also occur if crypto is not good. carefulness is needed in stepping and not always tempted by seduction that seems to be profitable.

This is expected and will be experienced by many as these hackers and cheats will only become wiser and even more sophisticated but that does not mean you will fall victim, especially if you have taken your security measures accurately

I would say that the incidence of scam and fraud has reduced over the years. If you check the older threads, then you will get an idea. I browsed through the posts from 2013 and 2014, and back then scams were very frequent. I guess that the users have become more cautious and careful by now and this is preventing most of the attempted scams.

We don't need to blame them for patronizing them, but that they fall for the same trick over and over again. These bogus rewards are better than nothing, and those that are involve are those with greed. Greediness can make it cheap for anyone to fall for a scam either small or great, so, let not be greedy.

I've seen many people falling over stupid ponzi scheme and many convincing "too good to be true" stuff all over again and that kinda makes me pissed to be honest.
There's also many people taking advantage of the refferal link they think following that program will bring them profits but no, that program will bring calamity for many people financial and economic circumstances.

BITCOIN RISING, SCAMS RISING BTC RISING WILL GIVE SCAMS GOOD OPPURTUNITY OF RISING BECAUSE THEY WILL BE MAKING MORE MONEY.

As long as we can stay away from the suspicious links or programs in out there, we don't have to afraid from the scam. We could continue to make money from what we did before, but we still are careful to always double check the links that we want to visit. The scamming will be there and searching for the people who cannot protect themselves so they can steal their money and run away.

Yes,the percentage of scammers now was too high like what is happenig to the price of bitcoin because they can easily hire some people to take their scam project and also they use bitcoin for their flowery voice,so be smart for them and do not take it rapidly because you will regret if you are going to be eagerly for them.

Greediness is always a part of our life and we can't escape from being like that. We can't felt it because we tried to control it kept inside but it for sure, it soon moves out and take control into our mind. No wonder how people go like that cause it seems to be normal today, we need money, right? And being greedy will lead to making money a lot. I have to be greedy sometimes but of course, we need to think its limitation.

When bitcoin increases in value, scammers will also see it as an opportunity to make a profit, and therefore they will do everything they can to cheat people.

Scammers are every where buddy and it not the situation of when Bitcoin increases scammers increases because it was actually the situation of when Bitcoin halving is around the corner crypto scammer increases.
If you can recollect what happen during the previous halving you will know I'm right

If in the lyrics of what you mean, obviously I agree with you for fraudulent matters, especially many of them where money revolves in the digital world. And there is a lot of money in it. And this is what causes hackers to be more active.
