My method of protection against fraudsters is simple.  I participate only in those ICO projects that do not cause me a single question in the process of its implementation, in the team of this project and also in the roadmap of the project.  It is difficult to restrain myself from investing in some projects, but the result is that I have never been caught in the tricks of fraudsters before this time.

The best way for us to do this is to make sure that we are always looking out for one another, whenever we come across a coin that is a scam or any kind of scam then we should be ready to report them and create awareness on them to make sure that people are being warned about the scams, that way less and less people will fall for the scams

I think that we should be very careful about cryptocurrency and remember to diversify risks. This can protect our assets.

Am also much concern about the scam projects that we do see or have in cryptocurrency these days, but I think regulation is the main thing that we need to make cryptocurrency more secure and scam free, but every participants are afraid of what government could do to stop blockchain working as the crypto is decentralized and if get regulate it might cause the blockchain and cryptocurrency a huge damage to crypto ecosystem.

I only follow one strategy. I don't trust anyone on the internet. There is no mean of trusting anyone because lots of scammers are here in internet. Anyway, don't click any link sent by others.

If there are preventive measures, there are not too many investors cheated from the current ICO. Unfortunately, there is no way to be effective, it all depends on the experience of each person. However, if you don't have experience, it is best not to join the ICO

Hello everybody .
 Tell us, how do you recognize the scammers? I've met a lot of fraudulent projects and I can say that I learned by bitter experience, but every day it's more difficult to distinguish a good project from scammers.We do not want to lose our money and do not waste time in the empty, participating in the companies bounty.

There is no way to check scam projects as no one knows about any project in a start that this project goes which way. It can be judged only after some time after some investigations only.

the problem is to find the new coin that can do a big % of price grow...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anneli-elicoin-cpu-mining-only-exchange-available-3028302... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

To be honest, we have the opportunity to protect both ourselves and the investors around us by doing research. Especially nowadays there are many people and scam projects that give them the idea of investor and show interest for each project. It has become quite difficult and confuses the users' minds. For this reason, we have to do research first and then make investment decision.

I personally don't really know how to make 100% sure about scammer project, all i can do is preventing myself to get bumped into any scam project, by checking any related information about a project as detailed as possible always making sure about the validity of the data we got.
Yeah, it's not an easy thing to detect a scam. What we can do is just research the project as good as we can. If we have researched it and we still get trapped in a scam, then we can do nothing else. Just be very careful in choosing the project.

Ordinary investors should not participate in ICO project investment. When someone gives you advice, you must calmly analyze and not blindly invest. Many people use cryptocurrencies to make money.

Scammers are very rampant right now in telegram, they will send you a private message and asking you to invest in project. To protect yourself and guard your investment , ask the main telegram group . Visit the website and don't just send  your btc/eth to any person.
Those projects are not even worth to read so don't make any effort to invest onat kind of project and also we can restrict newbies to send personal message to us in the settings so it may save out lot of time from those scammers if anyone don't know this just take that tick from allow newbies to send PMs in the personal message option.
just it alone is not enough to do. When the scammer has a thousand ways to cheat, then at least we should have a thousand and one ways to avoid it. does that mean we necessarily should be required to have a broader knowledge in crypto in order not easily get caught in a scam that indeed many there are in this field.

Scamers will never communicate with huge amount of people. For example, when I see that project's team creates different events and participates them I could be sure that team is real and they really want their project to get funding.

Do your own research if you want to stay away from scammers because there is no easy way to find the scam projects other than by researching about them.If you want to invest on ICO then just check the reputation of the project team and the whitepaper and website design or if you are very new here then just explore around the scam accusation of this form then if your project is scam you can find a thread about it there.
