Hello Guys,
Today i'm putting my knowledge in this post, I Hope it will be useful for some peoples, Scamming has become so popular nowadays, I think we have to make every effort to avoid it.
This is a small effort from me,

#1: visit The Website and check is this secure with https (SSL CERTIFICATE) If the address starts with “http” instead of “https” The data you send to the website is not secure, and you will lose your secret information.

#2: Does the website’s URL have any spelling mistake or any error?
for example:
www.anywebsite.com- Real
www.anywebslte.com-Fake
If so, it could be a fake, attacker will steal your login details, And he will use all these details on the real website,

#3: Does the website (or company) promise extraordinarily high profits? For example, they can offer that you can double your investment in a week or month. This is a common indication of a scam.

#4: If you are dreaming of getting rich quickly from a crypto ICO then You will be victim of scam sooner or later, please be aware that every ICO can't be successful, Even if the project is not a scam.

#5: Malware has long been a weapon in the arsenal of online scammers, For Example: "Masad Stealer" is using the Telegram app to steal crypto-currency by accessing browser passwords and clipboard information, The attackers access wallets containing Monero, Ether, bitcoin and other forms of crypto-currency

#6: Be careful of low marketcap cryptos that normally have a low trading volume but that suddenly experience a sharp price rise, Use your common-sense Why peoples not buying?
I advice you to buy only High marketcap coins/tokens.

#7: always use 2-factor authentication
If you’re using a crypto wallet or exchange that supports two-factor authentication, enable this feature before depositing any funds, It’s So easy and simple to set up and provides an extra layer of account security, Even if Scammers has your email and password, your funds will remain safe

#8:Try to Use a cold wallet
A “hot” wallet is one that’s connected to the Internet, and a “cold” wallet is one that’s held offline, Storing your crypto offline in a physical cold wallet is usually considered to be a much safer option than using an online wallet, You can use "Trezor"
Note: Please Avoid new and untested platforms

#9: Never share your private keys with anyone,
#10: Always avoid crypto-currency mining scams Thoroughly research any cloud mining operation before signing up, Does it use https?
How old are they been in that business? is that Company registered?
Please Be extremely wary of companies that “Guarantee” profit.

I Request you guys before you purchase a coin, gather as much information as possible to ensure you are making the right decision, and investing your money in right project.

Untill Next time GOOD BYE
