Thanks for the advices; some are trivial, others interesting and useful.
the point is that now the scammers put more effort into creating a convincing presentation than in the project itself, and it becomes increasingly difficult to recognize scams.
We'll see if we can do some cleaning.
The only way to clean this market from scammers is that people stop investing in every single new project without doing their due diligence, until that happens scammers will have no reason to get out of this market when they can make so much money with so little effort, but when thousands of newbies join this market every week each one with the very same goal of becoming rich in a matter of weeks then is difficult for me to believe that the market will ever become free of scammers.

These are very useful for investors and those who are intending to invest in cryptocurrencies. I especially like how to use the new wallet because when you choose a reliable wallet, your chances of being cheated will be greatly reduced.

Thanks for this information they really states the facts. I would like to add, not having a mind of our own; in this case we trust the judgement of so called experts rather than making a little research to ascertain the truth, we listen to them, buy coins they tell us to, invest in ICOs etc. Therefore having a mind of our own can still save us some headache.

Thanks for this helpful story. I will not be too greedy, if too greedy as before it will be easy to be cheated by bad people. Don't just look at the immediate benefits and the temptations that distract us.

Crypto market is a great opportunity, but there are also unpredictable dangers. Scammers are always looking for opportunities to take advantage of investors' trust. Be careful by all means.

EDIT:
Click on random websites: Many airdrop websites you see these days asking for personal details are fake and many of them are just clever ways to steal your private details and use it to steal your funds, be careful of the links you click and if possible, bookmark your sensitive websites (the ones that need private information like private keys and passwords) so that you wouldn't fall for a clone website.
And many also use airdrop to get our emails and ids so they can use them in illegal activities,
Like selling our KYC identications
selling our emails to spammers / scammers
Or they can use our id for ico campaigns or Ieo campaigns that provide rewards when you complete submit kyc.

I would also advise you not to respond to messages from strangers who offer you a quick way to get money. I noticed that such cases of fraud have become more frequent and it is very important to pay attention to this.
if you find such a cation then you should be able to be careful because today many traders and investors who are new or can be said as beginners are still easy to be exposed to such scams, you better invest in IEO in a large exchange which in my opinion is more concerned with security.

How not to get scammed simple:

1. Don't trust your money to anyone on the internet
2. Do not Join on HYIPs and Ponzis (Don't be greedy being greedy is highly falls into the trap)
3. If you are investing on a coin research the team the white paper to if the project is copied in someone else's project

Just follow that and your money will be safe
If only it was this easy, scammers are really smart, they have been trying to find new and innovative ways to scam people for a lot of time, the second point that you bring of not joining HYIP is valid but they have learned to disguise those programs and make it look like something else, and the perfect example are icos, it may seem as if you are investing in a coin that has a lot of potential to grow quickly only to find out a few months later that the coin is a scam and you will never recover your money.

The best way to stay safe in crypto is be very careful when it comes to choosing a project or coin to invest in. To be careful here means the investor must read and research vehemently on the project in order to ascertain its authenticity and capabilities of becoming successful. Targets during the research should focus on the team and its expertise level, the product, the use case, the idea pf the project etc.
That is absolutely true of this, and in addition to this also, we have to learn to stop relying on hype, because what I have seen people use in choosing project in the past is because of hype, and it depend on the marketing strength of the project which hype should not be used as a criteria to know if a project will have a growth in future or not, but we need to focus more on the team and the product that the team chooses to offer.

If the product is another duplicated of the hundreds of projects that are already available in the market, believe me that there is nowhere that these projects are going to, it is only a real working project with a new concept and a very great team that can make a project to grow in value.

When you have to do so much just to try to not get scammed instead of concentrating on trying to make money with your investments then it is a better idea to just forget about investing in new coins, many do not like this idea because they do not want to entertain the idea of limiting their potential profits, but since my capital is limited I cannot risk my coins in projects that ultimately will not bring me any benefit and not only will waste my money but my time as well.

that's important before we decide to invest in several projects we must first do research on each project that will be launched and find out more about the teams involved in it in order to minimize the risk of loss

As long as we think about investing, we will always be in a state of risk, more precisely, fraud can come to us any time when we have haste, errors in analysis and thought, therefore, if you do not want to get into a scam, it is best to stay away from investment-related projects. But the fact is that if we do such things, our profits will not be high, even I don't want to say is very low and almost zero, and after all, we want to be better, we need to take risks, accept we can fall into the trap of scammers, prevention is only temporary, cannot be absolute

In business, we must be very careful with our money, especially in investing cryptocurrencies. I very much agree with what you said. must not be too greedy.  Grin
Be careful in investing is needed, because the investment has a lot of risk, both the risk of loss and risk that is profitable, so before investing we must make a good analysis so that no risk of loss in the future.

I agree that to avoid scam projects, we must be patient and not greedy and not rushing. If we wait patiently for a project to be traded in the market, we will get a chance to buy at a cheaper price and for a new project, in my opinion we should always do research first about the team behind the project.

To avoid getting scammed on the space is not really 100% certain. However, one should still try as much as possible to preventing getting scammed. Number 1 factor that makes people get scammed is GREED. If one can shun greed, I bet you, one will not easily be scammed.

yes, from some of the points you have said, I think that is indeed true and if investors apply that method before investing in any project, at least it might not be scammed. but in most cases, new investors are always trapped in waste projects. this is what they need to consider before investing, I mean how to manage their financial management and also more detailed research about the project they want to invest.
right, many new investors have fallen victim, so in the end the results are not as expected. new investors usually have a high emotion, so they cannot control it, and this impacts on the inaccuracy in analyzing the project. if we take the steps above, of course, can reduce the case of scams


Correct, if you find time to go deeper to fully understand everything and not jump into conclusion about this business. Most of those who loses their investment failed to step forward and advance to have a good edge among those traders inside this market. If you will do your homework and make sure to have a good assessment before taking your feet inside the market. Observing the actual field of this place will made you more familiar and can build right decision making.

greed and stuck in FOMO I often do and get scammed repeatedly. but from this error I began to learn that if there is an opportunity then sell (not greedy) and also when the price of a coin rises sharply immediately sell (not stuck in fomo)
