But the main things and important for remembering, the scammer is always offering a big offer can make their victims is feeling excited about it. and it's the main things for you to prevent from the scammers be careful about any offering from the another people, site or another like that because the chance they will become a scammer is always there.

This is a problem that'll continue to grow and will never, ever go away.

The most dependable one is that if it's too good to be true then it certainly isn't true. I'm constantly flabbergasted by the people who run towards the most agonisingly obvious scams even when people are shouting at them about its obviousness. That goes for cloud mining, 'investments', and pretty much every single other thing on this forum.

There's a never ending supply of fresh meat on here that refuses to take on board the hard lessons that everyone else has.

Don't trust anything that involves you giving up your private keys. If you do have to do it make sure whoever is asking is bulletproof and accountable so that means Gemini, not Cryptsy. The sheer amount of people asking for your money on here via websites that are one day old beggars belief.

As for who to trust on here, I'm not really sure whether that's possible. There've been cases of long standing escrows going rogue. You just have to take the best chance you can and hope for the best.

I don't know about you here, I don't give my money if I don't check someone or something. Before I get to checking first I need to like suggestion, and only if I like it I try to inform myself more. If I don't like how it sounds I don't bother to check more.

Never believe in big promises, small and safe steps are much better. Profit is low, but at least there is some profit.

1. Check his trust rating. You can see if he has previous shady stuffs going on.
2. Use an escrow. If he refuses to do use one, do not send first.
3. After receiving what you are buying/trading, check it as much as you can. Don't be in a hurry.
4. Stay away from kids that are selling stuffs and they are like in such a hurry. The thing that they are selling usually have a hidden defect or something.
5. If you have common sense, you'll easily detect lazy scam attempts. If the trader has created a thread, just wait for people to comment if it's a lazy scam attempt if you're not so sure about it.

That's basically it. If you don't send your money first, you will not get scammed. Another thing though, there are some stuffs that might look "fine and working" at first, but eventually becomes deactivated or can't be used anymore. Example of this are accounts online like Spotify. They say it has a lifetime subscription but if you check it on the website, it actually expires days/weeks after you bought it.

i agree with the point that the number of scammers are increasing day by day. so i am listing some points below which you should follow while trading with any person.

1. check the person's trade history whenever you are dealing.
2. always use escrow. ask the person to use escrow and if he gives any silly reason and denies the use of escrow then you should immediately cancel the deal.
3. check the behaviour of the person. if he acts like he is in rush and wants to finish the deal very fast then mostly he is in the intention to scam you. so dont do rush deals.
hope it helps!
