Very few people really understand bitcoin scam. This makes it easier to make false promises and unusual moves without getting caught.Moreover, It’s mostly anonymous. It’s a lot easier for scammers to cover their tracks. Once bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies have been stolen, they are probably never coming back to their rightful owners. In addition,It’s largely unregulated. There are ways for scammers to steal bitcoin without breaking the law, and there are few authorities that will ever go after them.
We all have fraudsters around us, and in bitcoins, there are more, because it's so attractive, giving them a high profitability. So, be careful about the island and have high vigilance
yes, and you know what else helps the cause? - you can stay anonymous..
I really like Telegram, but it's true that everyone shoud be very carefully there. Scammers are really doing everything to get your money and first rule on Telegram would be not so send money anywhere. Especially if someone PMs you to send money this is obvious it's a scammer.
Some scammers also impersonate admins of ICOs, so always check their username and if someone PMs you and say he is an admin of an ICO it's almost 100% a scammer.

Yea, that's true. It is easy to act like someone you are not on Telegram. Same on Twitter. Before sending someone money, make sure they are the someone they say they are

Just read about this one https://ethereumworldnews.com/ethereum-android-scam-swindle/
Quoting article:
"The app claims to sell “just an Ethereum” for 335 Euros, or approximately $100 over the current value of a single ETH token. While the exorbitant price would be somewhat of a scam in itself if that app actually provided users with one ETH, it turns out that users who purchased the “Ethereum” app got nothing but the classic Ethereum logo, with all of its sharp vectors, minimalistic features, and dark aesthetics.
What’s even more bizarre is that in the app’s over a one-year lifespan, it has garnered over 100+ installs from unsuspecting users, racking up a minimum of $39,000 in the process."

There are various stories about bitcoin related scam issues. Well this one we ought to be very careful about some fraudster hit me up on a social media app asking me to help withdraw bitcoin for him and sent me a link to a fake, fraudulent exchange which anytime I try to withdraw it demands for 0.01 bitcoin. Then I had registered this exchange with an active wallet I would have gotten duped.
So it's imperative for us to be careful

I read this article, this is very exciting, but unfortunately this article did not receive more attention, I think it should spread to more areas! This can alert more investors!
This is up to us to share this type of content and spread the word. Only this way we can stop scammers, or at least make it hard for them to earn a living from scamming others.
I was deceived by many bounty events and I was cheated by investing in ICO. The lesson I learned is that you should not invest in any ICO project again, because even a seemingly perfect project may fail!
Be careful with emails from unknown sources
Nice day there are some emails from strange addresses say you provide your personal information such as account details. Such attempts have occurred so much in the financial and e-commerce websites. Furthermore, Bitcoin trading can not be reversed. So, if you give your account information to someone unknown, your money will probably move on to them.

There is always going to be that one person who gets scammed, irrelevant of the area. Even if all of us see the red flags, they just clearly didn't, and I kind of feel sad for them
Just read this article, a nice piece about Bitcoin scams with an example - http://cryptofinance24.com/how-not-to-scam-people-p428-171.htm
The example story about one scam there is just hilarious. The scam is so bad, but people still fall for it
So, have you ever got scammed, or know some good stories to share with others to help them learn from others mistakes?
We cannot deny the fact that the delusion of money can make us people blind and that's the reason why most of us are end up into a scam because some projects offered like that and make us also interested even though it is actually a scam.The example story about one scam there is just hilarious.

yes, sometimes it is really hard to tell if the project is a scam or not.. even projects with seemingly good teams have failed
Nothing ventured nothing gained, right? Well I guess I'm a bit too cautious. In my case it's nothing ventured nothing scammed. And to tell you the truth it's not exactly something to be proud of, but I suppose I'll get the courage one day.
The big one going around now is people being scammed into thinking they owe taxes and being told to make the tax payment
via a Bitcoin ATM. For such an obvious scam, people are falling for it way too often.

Hilarious, but most likely understandable only if you know some poker. Anyways, very funny. This shows that there are a lot of people who pretend to be someone else to get your money. Stay safe!
