In my years of experience with bitcoin there is only one effective way to avoid scammers. In joining ICO even if you do your research you will not know that they are scammers until the ICO is over. Even if how many preparations we do or make in the end we still end up being a victim to scammers. The best way to avoid scammers is to no invest your bitcoins. Just hold it in your wallet and hold it for a long time and when the price is right you can sell them and you will have a good profit.

So for me it is just a matter of luck because you always join an ico that you never knew in the first place it is like going to a war alone. Even if you check it much more if they are great scammers they will be successful.

Scammers are the most creative personalities around they will go along way to get those coins from you and when they do, the sad part of it is that you might never get the back ever,, you therefore have to be very cautious on who you dealing with . who you trust with your private information. avoid phishing sites as much as possible, avoid responding to promising and lucrative offers on social media. keep your wallet key safe, and do not expose it to anyone whatsoever
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's easy for you to scam if you're offered to invest or pay for a profit making sure that the info is good for you who offers you just not to believe and if you can ask any friends you know for not being threatened
We can prevent scum against the scummer by keeping our bitcoin account independent of giving your private key to anyone so that you do not rob a btc and so they can not transact your account thereby avoiding the scum of your account scummer.

need to be careful not to visit strange sites and observe safety rules
Thanks for makin an effort. I like it and will remember it tho i just want to make it simple for other users who cannot understand. Simple rule would be "do not try the obvious scam scheme like cloud mining and any other HYIP sites". Most of the time legit ways of makinf money are the hardest one or it may be the easiest one but the lowest reward as well
I think there are several rules to avoid scammers: 1) do not respond to unknown persons in chats who want help you to buy ICO tokens and etc; 2) do not open suspicious links; 3) trade only at big criptocurrency exchanges and use official wallets only.
