good article and some great tips we all can learn from.
Its true that its mostly newbies who are going to get scammed quicker,
they need to learn about the likes of Pump-N-Dump schemes and HYIP sites also.
Scammers are devising really convincing ways to trap people from Phone calls, e-mails and crypto scams.

Thanks for posting this!

And the reason the newbies are the ones that fall the most in those scams is not just because they're newbies is because they are investing for the wrong reasons, they see the examples of people that became rich with cryptocurrencies and they want to emulate their success not thinking that they are the exception and while there is a lot of money to be made you need to be constant and you need to be patient.

In short most of them do hurry to become rich which they do see those successful person do make easy things for them to achieve those situation which it isnt really right at all.It would takes time and patience for you to achieve such manner and come to think of you would need to put up money to earn money. Theres no easy get quick rich scheme on here.

Talking back about protecting yourself from scams.If you just starting up then better read up feedbacks and suggestions which will really give you idea and later on your experience will teach you gradually along the way.

Even the site provided in the OP can help you to some extent, I believe that still you cannot be 100% sure about anything as there is always 1% chance of losing your money due to any reason as future is not in our hand. One can only try to be 100% secure and rest leave to future. You might read a project that seems very beneficial and many people are investing and it get good reputation in the market also, but what if all of a sudden it crashes like Bitconnect. So, crypto is full of risk so if you invest be ready for any outcome.

The motive for profit, or greed, is the motive that makes people easily deceived.
re-con artists will usually use this "cool button" to make somebody out of logical work. People began to wish and hope. That's when the logic function is stopped. Here, people are more driven by the desire to win, the lust for easy profit, the lust of getting rich quickly. And that's what makes someone so dark eyes.

In fact, if we use logic and common sense, we should be able to think simply, that something too good to be true, should be suspected.

Only you can keep your self protected from crypto scams, only your experience and knowledge. Be smart.

Experiences from others does also help. Fast track.
By clicking the link, I've been looking for only one type of popular scamming strategy nowadays. This has been done through those people who loves to follow famous people and loves to stick with altcoins and good to see that it's listed as social media phishing. People are so greedy and gullible nowadays that they will receive something in return and even doubled or tripled in value after sending their donation to the posted address on the fake account on twitter.

Password and 2FA are to protect you from hackers , scammer targeting greedy people who looking for an instant profit , then offering you something too good to be true service , that time you should be careful and curious what exactly the service they are offering.
The more greedy you are , the more vulnerable you are to get scammed.

Here are my own ways that I would like to share
1. I do not show my face like linking this bitcointalk account to any of my personal accounts
2. I always log out my accounts and log in later if I am going to use it.
why because any personal information can be used from any of my accounts for a scammer may talk to me and do a talk with to make me invest on things that is fake or that is created my the scammer.

Before investing in any ICO project, or buying any coin or token, I take my careful time studying the project and making sure it have good value and potential, and only after doing this I invest or buy.
This way I minimize the risks of lossing because I select the most promising coins and tokens which generally reach some level of success.
