Great job @OP because the information provided would help other new members avoid some lame schemes of scammers and one thing that i really urge people in here to observe is never accept offers in pms other than official channels because most of them turn out to be scammers. We really need to find a way to get rid of all these scammers because they are dragging the name of crypto in mud.
Very much helpful thread toward the fight against scammers which has infested cryptocurrency but you fail to note that greed is a personal problem that also leads to one being scammed
Thank you for all those advice. I recently met some people that I couldn't trust on 100%. But now I know
Good advice lot of scammer's also spreading in bounty ico and selling their token if you pay first they gonna give the token. Probably all selling tokens need buy/sell in the market and have a Legit escrow for doing this.
I think to prevent from being scammed you should only transact with people you already knew.
I think it's not a good idea, isn't the internet function to connect to people you don't know outside? and how narrow the world is, if you only transact with people only you knowYour personal information is valuable and you need to take precautions to protect it when you are online, especially when you use social media sites. you can also protect yourself from scammers by Creating and using passwords. Passwords protect your personal information, so it is important to create strong passwords and change them regularly.
and make sure you use a different password for each account, because there are many phishing sites that you don't know, and maybe you have already put you email and password there?

There is one more where people sell BTC or other crypto for paypal money at premium rates. Scammers charge back after receiving BTC and since its BTC transaction, you can't directly tell PayPal team, and usually case is won by the scammers.
One of the menace in crypto is scamming and day in and day out most crypto noob and even sometimes experienced crypto enthusiast get scammed. I believe this information would go a long way to enlighten may people out there about how to stay away from the schemes of scammers. Stay safe people there are bad nuts among us.
This's really a good write up
But what I know is that one may not be scammed sometimes if someone is not trying to get a virtually what doesn't even implies as been the truth. Like if someone is trying to offer what one should know it can't never be true and existed.

i think it is very simple,you don't believ anyone on telegram and stranger,you don't give you wallet for anyone,if you buy ICO you only buy on the website of this ICO,no admin pm you with hight bonus,when you click strange link,you have to stop,with me you don't give your money for any stranger
It sounds like that the idea of avoiding scammers is as easy as clicking close button on a pop-up spam messages. But it is not. Getting to know the details on what to do and the case study of what have been done earlier by the scammers will be much of a help. I myself will likely identify the type 3 and type 4 easily. Thank you for the sharing!
The only effective way to secure your assets against scammers is by holding your information away from them, never store any thing like secret keys online or backing it up in an email, and also stop being greedy because that is the only thing that will drag you into being scammed.
thank you for your useful sharing. For me, i will protect myself from scammer by keeping my private key as secret and won't let anyone know.
You need to be careful. Very often try to steal personal data through other sites, throw you a link and you go through it and all the data from them! You need to be very careful and never show your passwords to anyone!
I think that in this plan you should become paranoid and always think that you want to be deceived! It is necessary to check all the details, correctly write each letter, do not store the password in an easily accessible place, do not store money on the stock exchange and so on!
safeguarding privatekey is very important, if hackers know they can take your money whenever they want without you knowing it
Yes only our personal informations and our private keys must only safe not to be given by anyone,because that is the source where scammers can overview all your personal details.,be observant and alert of all matters.
I think that to protect from scammers for 100% you need to avoid crypto market at all)) but if to be serious, you need to take part in icos only if making sure that the project is reliable
