As I have been neglecting this thread significantly overtime, I have requested OmegaStarScream to take over maintenance of it. This is as he has always been an active contributor and has always backed up his claims with accusations in the format that I have requested.

As a result, this thread is being retired. Please follow the new thread by OmegaStarScream.

Well known wiki:

Scammers making a change to the wiki to put themselves in the top position. They close the site, make a new one, then change the wiki to the new site.
Just a bunch of replacements of position 2.1 in the last couple months. Every change is the scam site.

I'm still new to this. I'm looking for some tips on determining legit and fraud. In other words, how can I tell a good investment from a scam.
A few tips:
One good way is to look for reviews/reports on this site.
Also if it's too good to be true that's often an indication.
Many also claim they are operating since so and so long or have so many customers/orders to gain trust. Look at the whois records of the site. Often scam sites are not online since a long time.
Ponzi shemes want you to make many referrals. Search the web if many people actually do referals in order to keep the scheme running.
So called "free mining" scams often steal photos of mining farms/CEOs from other sites. Do google reverse image search on images you find on suspicious sites.
can you add litebit.eu to the list please?
was recently scammed by whoever operates the website. transferred €500 to their bank account 2 weeks (!) ago. they claim they never received anything, although i sent them a bank statement that proves the exact opposite.

I'm still new to this. I'm looking for some tips on determining legit and fraud. In other words, how can I tell a good investment from a scam.
The websites that simply promise to double your bitcoins after a period of time = scam, period. Then, we are ICOs where you could invest into t, you must look to the team (the developers and If they are able to deliver that project), escrow, and such details, usually, If you check those as should be, you should know If the project is something serious or another shitcoin scam.
Finally, we have exchanges and gambling sites. You can't really tell for sure since sometimes they start legit and turn into a scam. The only advice I can give here is to not store your bitcoins in their sites for long term, just trade or whatever and withdraw instantly.

Just stumbled over this site
bitcnation.com
Registered 15 days ago, which is very suspect isnt it...
Also prices are way under market.
Plus it actually says ? Copyright 2017 Coinmama
I am sure its not legit... Specially considering a google search for coinmama + bitcnation.com gives nothing, and I am sure coinmama would have made some kind of announcement about it if it was their site.
Please have a look.

You should probably think about adding Coinsbank.com unfortunately. They have some serious scam accusations against them on the section. I suggest checking them out and ask for further details before making up your mind, the company didn't make any statements, not everyone has faced these issues though.
FASTBETS.io works for people who don't win much, but if you win a lot (which is the goal, right) massive issues. Do NOT put money into this site my withdrawal failed to propagate to the blockchain due to too low of fees.
I have sent 4 emails with no response.
Burns has not been under his normal login for 4 days since he possible stole 0.522732 BTC which is currently worth $925.80 at the typing of this letter.
I will update this post if they make it right by sending me my money. Until then RUN away with your money and don't put it into this site. I have proof that part of my money went to a BTC wallet that Burns owns.
Fastbets.io please send the 2 amounts back to me that I have highlighted in red. If you log into my account you will see they never propagated to the blockchain. The Hashes do not exist. Thanks

They don't show anything, they never propagated.
