If it seems to good to be true.. it probably is.
There's so many scams that works because people are greedy...

Be careful on twitter, there's a lot of fake accounts asking you to send "y" amount of whatever coins and they promise you to send back "y" x2..
they are fakes and will never send back your coins..

Same thing for "investments" websites.

Most of the scams (as far as I am concerned) are coming from the ICOs and exchanges. So the most important part is doing your research and, of course, due diligence! It includes reading about in the forums and seeing what people say. That's the most important step and people are quite honest in the forums and they will say everything they have experienced with the particular ICO or exchange! I believe you will be smart enough to figure out how that works.  Wink

There are some sites that can be trusted but some of it views ads are suspicion and uncertain. When I tried to link a trusted community I have clicked some ads that I thought would be helping too. They send email and as I read the new mails it involves money for me to have the software as mention. I ignore those scammers and they stop sending a convincing mail. So be careful to avoid being a victim by them. Better read all the guidelines as much as possible. Asking trusted person or friends with experience about digital currency is easier.

Scam projects will often make bold claims about their product even though said project offers nothing new or disruptive. It’s not likely that a certain blockchain platform or cryptocurrency will end poverty, fix global warming or replace the internet. This can also be truth for how they expect the community or markets to respond to the product. If someone claims their cryptocurrency will replace Bitcoin, get a disproportionate amount of users, or increase by 100x in the price charts, you can add that project to the scam list.

If the project does have that potential, professional developers will never make such promises. They will let you know about the potential of their project and that’s it. No serious team will ever make a price prediction about their token or claim it can fix the world.

I think that most of scams surge in icos. So Im very carefull when I invest in any ico. Some icos have disappeared with all the money. And be really carefull with your pc and which site do you visit and what you normally do. You can get infected.

I am not sure about any sites but based on my experience i will suggest the following.
1 - Always DYOR before getting into any coin or ICO.
2 - Check what problem the coin is trying to solve and if it is a valid one.
3 - A good ICO will have a good website with all their Team members' information and whitepaper listed.
4 - Make sure you check the Team's profile on Linked In, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Join their Telegram group. Check for their validity.
5 - Check if they have any past experience into blockchain or any other industry. Check if they are genuinely capable of solving any problem.
6 - With great coin comes great community. If the community is great and supportive the coin sure is great. Take for instance DeepOnion.
