Simple yet effective steps to detect scams on the internet about bitcoin/cryptocurrency.

But I found ignoring people on the internet is the best way to avoid scams. Though sometimes, we need to invest in different opportunities when we set our mind to invest in anything, do detailed research about the project, look for reviews and also check if they offer any realistic profits from the investment.

I'll add that one should view everything as a scam until proven otherwise. At every point in time we would be cautious of any message or offer we get and look for reasons that point out that it's a scam. It would be difficult to still fall for a scam that you suspect to be one.

Also, if it's too good to be true, then it isn't.

There are many scamer strategies to trick customers who don't know anything by seducing them to enter into the trap provided through investing or trading bots for example and many more scammers' tactics in various ways, we often see where many beginners have deceived by them so that this has become unrest in the general public.

I know that in a number of ways the above is the basis for preventing fraud against us as beginners, but we must be aware and see how it must be reminded so that we cannot be careless in our actions, including greed, for example, people want to get a lot of money instantly without working hard means getting into a ponzi scheme or something.

As long as an investment or trade doesn't make sense, it's better to leave and never respond, we have to talk about the reality, whether it's true or not.

-High pressure tactics: A key indicator of a potential scam is if you receive repeated messages and calls from the investment firm urging you to act quickly or risk losing the opportunity, Bonuses, or discounts that are being offered at the time. So it's Always important to take your time to research well and fully comprehend what you are getting into.

This tactics is one of the oldest ones that is still used by scammers till date. Even the local scammers who will advice you to go sell your properties and get them the money uses this pressure method such that you will not have the time to discuss with your parents or relatives who will discourage you from being scammed.
This same method is applicable in the cryptocurrency industry and due to everything is digitalized, it will be easier for the victim to send digital money easily without thinking much about it.

They sound like the kind of answers you'd get if you asked AI applications.
I think the easiest way to detect a scam is by asking, if scam is related to cryptocurrencies, then the question here is an ideal option to identify scam, but there are types of fraud that you cannot recognize until after they have occurred, and such types need a lot of experience to know them, and sometimes you may fail to know them.
So everything that sounds too good to be true should be avoided.

 have the ability to recognize when we are the target.
You only know that your PC is infected with a virus or malware after the PC starts to behave abnormally.

You can not always recognize when you are a target, every person browsing the internet day by day are at risk of getting under the scammer's feet, all internet users are automatically a target to scammers, have this in your mind and know peace.

Just don't do anything stupid, like clicking on random links online, visiting fake or malicious websites, anyone could fall for this even when they are very cautious.

As always we have seen those scams always have a promising they can double your investment in just a single day with a 10x to your capital which is already suspicious because of how they can earn if they give a large amount to the investors, there's a chance this is just a trap so they can exit once they invite a lot of members will willing to take a risk of course with higher capital and expecting higher returns. Even the scammers keep making an improvement they seem like a legit project that's why as an investor to you must need to make a double-check all the possible ways to avoid getting a honeypot or rug with those promotions. Again there's no free money always in the crypto.

The second technique listed is a well and popular technique used by scammers to scam naive, new beginners and unexperienced member or individuals. So i urge and advise new beginners like my self to be very careful and vigilant in any work or giveaway they might encounter because some might just be a way of giving personal information in one way or the other. Thank you for the well said advice and notification mate.
Almost all of the techniques listed are used by scammers to set traps for cryptocurrency beginners in order to see if they can get them scammed.

Beginners must be cautious and take their time learning everything there is to know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency before they begin trading or investing, as scammers are just waiting for them to fall into their trap due to small mistakes made by beginners, and scammers will take advantage of the opportunity to scam them because they are waiting for any slice mistake to scam them.

The first one is really an obvious gimmick. Newbies before fall for this especially when they did received their shares or scam money that came from their pool fund. Usually scammers let the victim to received first their profit for the first few transactions, then when those received they will trust with more money and thats it the scammers will take this opportunity to steal their funds leavung the victim with more loss instead of capital breakeven.  Really hate their style but if you are not gonna be cautious then youll fall continously on their style.

Common things offered by scammers since they always want those newbies to believe that they can earn easy money with cryptocurrency and also by investing with them which is totally not true since this is 100% scam, this is overused for so many decades so for sure newbies can find relevant information or feedback about this if they just research first before deciding to invest on any ponzi scheme platforms.

-promises of quick money and giveaways: New investors are always greedy, which is why scammers use giveaways to get their attention in order to obtain all of the necessary information from the addresses they provide to aid their work.
