I have come to realize that most of the real investment do look like scam. meanwhile the scam looks like the real once,50 percent of us here have been scammed in one way or the other, But still yet we call ourselves good investors meanwhile we are investing into the wrong company.We really need to know the good and real trading company because they are all like the scam.Do you really know the difference?

No legit investment would look like a scam, except that the team are not serious with what they are doing. A good team that are ready to do good business and succeed in the future would always make sure that everything is properly laid out on their website, and they would go as far as hiring a good web developer and also a professional writer to handle their websites and make sure that everything is clean, and even do a review on top of it.

When you notice that everything on the website is carelessly being done, and there are errors here and there, then that is not a serious project or it is straight up a scam. Most of these scam projects are easy to tell, mere looking at them you can easily tell that they are scammers. So, if you are not sure of something, just avoid it or you can ask questions on that particular project so that others who would be able to detect whether it is a scam or not would look at it and give you the proper answer.

Yes, there's no denying that many of us made a mistake and probably have been a victim of a scam once. Once is enough for being a victim and if you've been becoming a victim again and again, it's a personal choice and no longer a coincidence.

Because you should already be able to avoid those scams through your decision making and you're able to find out that there's something shady for that project you're about to buy.

And it was not impossible if we are able to learn those mistakes that happens before. It is quite simple that we need to clear our decision-making and help to make it right. And in fact, nothing could help us but just ourselves then. If we are still not got caught with the scam investment, there is something wrong with us and I guess, we'd better stop doing this or else, that could be the reason to empty our pocket. And I think we don't want this to happen and that is we have not to stop learning and to further enhance our knowledge as this scam is visible enough to see them. They are offering a lot that seems not unusual.

Those lessons are being learned by many of us because we don't want to end up with the same scams. That's why being scammed many times, there's really a personal problem that you should go and find it on your own.

These scammers usually feed off of the greed of most of these investors. Some of these investors are fond of neglecting the loopholes that shows clearly on these scam projects, and when they are looking at projects to invest in they don't really focus on things that they are meant to focus on, rather they just focus on what they will be able to earn from that investment. And at this point the scammers definitely owns them, because these scam projects would always promise you things that are impossible. They can even go as far as telling you that you would be making 200% return on your investment in a year.

And when these investors see that the promises that these projects are making is too high, they just quickly fall for it and invest their money in the hands of scammers. People should learn to be careful and properly research on a project and look at the things or areas that they are meant to look at to know whether what they are investing in is legit or not.

That's right.

They know the weakness of the investors and it's about greed. They'll show how much they can earn in a short span of time and that will trigger the greed of those investors because they're looking at high amount in quick return.

Scammers can easily be caught if you're always aware of the projects you're buying in.

But if you're just someone who's careless and don't check the projects they're investing, you're really prone in being scammed. That's what the scammers are taking advantage.

The negligence of investors is what they're targeting and in the end, those victims will just complain and has to realize that they're the ones who lacked.

We can be careful in investing.

But it's not that everyday there are investors that are always careful. There will always be those investors that are reckless and don't do the thing that we say.

Because they think of themselves as good as the other investors that research at all times.

Those who would be wreckless would still get to know their lessons in the end. Admit it or not, we've all committed a mistake when we were beginning in trading especially most scammers are targetting new investors. Sometimes, we have to get scammed to learn to be careful and to always do our research. Wiser are those who are skeptical in picking good projects over scammers. Doing research is still an edge.

Sincerely speaking, sometimes, it's really difficult to tell, cus like you said, original projects sometimes look like a scam while the ones we thought or think are scam later appear to be the original one.
Crypto is really a sophisticated form of financial technology which requires investors to be always very careful and conscious of where the money is been invested in.
I think one of the rules are "if something looks too good to be true, then it's probably not true", like an investment promising great returns in a very Short period of time after you invest a very little amount of money.... Things like this are what people easily fall for but a sensible person should know it a scam.

I noticed that scammers practically do not use the Ethereum blockchain due to high commissions, choosing alternative blockchains such as BSC and Matic, which have very low commissions. Therefore, I have great confidence in such projects that are made on the Ethereum blockchain.

Well nowadays many projects really look good to me because the scammer is developing their new way to scam us, every time we know their method to scam they will improve their method too scam us till we fall in their trap. If you can't afford to lose money better to join a trusted project rather than lose your money in vain and forget about quick profits if you really want to join a new project.

If we are more careful in choosing projects, and always check projects before deciding to invest in these projects. We should be able to avoid
investing in scam projects, actually it's not too difficult to identify which are legit and scam projects. Usually scammers always offer something
that is too good to be true, so that many people are attracted and end up being deceived. So don't be too careless by being immediately attracted
by any offer that's too good to be true. Most people who are deceived by scammers are because of their own fault they are not careful
in making decisions. One more important thing, don't rely too much on other people's opinions to make decisions, because sometimes other
people's opinions just make us choose the wrong projects. There's even a chance that someone might be promoting a scam project without them
knowing it, so don't trust other people's opinions too much.

research on the project a hundred times and trace the background of the team behind if they were into successful projects or not, or were also involved from those scam projects in the past. Its better not to invest when you're in doubt, than taking the risk and end up losing your capital.

True, that's what I have been using when tracking projects to support on. Stuff like if they copy the whole team from other projects to theirs or if they have involved on another scam projects back then etc. But, most of the people just blindly choosing the projects because they think the projects look "good" without any valid position and then they cry after that.

You have a point most scam investment looks real and vice versa but you can adopt a simple trick to avoid been scammed. Scam investment usually have this persuasive marketing strategy and most of which have no economic use and value. If one must consider a legit investment first thing is to study the vision behind the projects and secondly how reliable the hypers are including the market capitalization of such projects I guess this few might serve as guide

The scam itself appears at any level of experience, believe me it is a myth that scams always only happen to newbies, anyway, it is a process the ability to get away from cheating projects but not 100% effective in the investment process.

There is no precise guide, so when entering any project it is your decision that deprives and not that of others, there are scams waiting for you ... even though you take all the precautions and You have a lot of experience, by the way this is phrase may be recurring in the idea but it is worth repeating it; no matter how safe and promising any investment is, always keep funds that allow you to be investing again.

Many people do research on everything but stay behind this kind of problem. Since there are scammers all around us , caution is the only weapon. It is said that most of when we invest any new projects if the projects can not survive in the market and be fail we just claim that this is attracted by scammer but truly say that they fail to reach the goal. Some times it can be happen. There are many sign for identifying scam project investment. Very beginning have to learn what is their goal and product as well as their development. You just realize those things carefully, i think you will get better idea.

Most of the time, it is already too late before we realize that the project is going to disappear or end up as a scam.
While some are sincere with their endeavors but the problem is their financial capability, why some are ending their developments.
Up until now, there's no defined strategy how to spot a legit and scam project, you just look for possible warnings.
Like for example, if the project is using fake images of their members, then, the likelihood that it will bad is high.

Exactly, this is why since there are so many scams in the market of cryptocurrencies and most of the time it is very difficult to distinguish a good project from a bad one that it is better to not invest in coins that have been just released yet and wait until a significant amount of time has passed and see if the developers have fulfilled their goals, now by doing this you will lose a period in which the coin will gain a lot of value, but you also decrease significantly the chances you will be scammed.

Well I agree with that, never invest in a new project because most all of them are prone to scam.
I also prefer to invest with the existing project and that is listed already on exchange, or better to focus on investing in bitcoin if I have enough capital.
Investing in a new project it seems like you prefer to gamble your money and hope that you will earn profit in just a couple of months, invest in the project that has already gained trust from the community.

There are ways to determine how to spot if the company is totally scam or not but in the end, there are projects that shows a legit operation at first then will change color along the way. That's the risk of investing in new projects.

The solution? If new to that kind of investing, then don't invest in new projects but choose coins that are already listed and performing well in the market. Those only with guts should take the risks of investing in new projects as they already know the risks they are facing to.

This is necessary before you invest, have more research about the project you’re looking for though its easy nowadays to spot scam and fake projects, you should still do some effort to catch them. Also, if you’re active here in the forum you can see more updates about scam projects and by this you can avoid them as early as possible.

Thus, if we are too lazy and not doing research, it just going to believe that these people will be got hooked up in easy money schemes, quick returns that are obviously a scam investment. That is why it is a must to do simple research, have to spend time looking on the internet that at least it gives us some insights and guide what projects we have to invest in and which one is not. And the last thing is that, we don't have to be greedy, as this is the common reason why investors had fallen into scam/fake projects.

^ Definitely right, there is no way to spot a scam project because as of now, most scam project seems good to be true but it is not, they will scam at the end of the project and make excuses. But at least we have a sign that we can determine it is a scam. Everything was on their documents and that is why people keep advising that should have been researched before putting your fund in any kind of investment.
Probably a good spot of a scam project is on when the project has a poor progress update.
