You need to be very careful with scammers as they can do and undo. You need to store private keys well, activate all the security for your online wallets and many more. These are some tips to protect your account from scammers
Thank you for your work here! You've said pretty much everything I think. To me personally it seems very important to care about personal information and see it as a kind of investment as well.
Do not share your private key. Do not install pirated software in laptop or mobile. Don't say everytime your friend and other I have bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. Use multiple addresses for trading and holding.
In my years in bitcoin my biggest weapon to avoid scam is keep my bitcoin wallet secret on me only, not even my family because we don't know that our neighbors is also a scammers or something and imagine that when your child knows your bitcoin wallet password and someone ask that on them.
But for me just keep it safe and avoid the free wifi or something and don't forget to deepfreeze your computer because there is so many hackers around the world using any viruses trojan etc... in just 1click your bitcoin will be gone and my advice when you don't want to be feel scam on the profit that you are getting from bitcoin is try to invest at the lower price and wait till the price is up and sell it.

One of the best things to do to avoid ICO fraud is to learn and read all the information about this ICO. As they always say: "More knowledge is power." Secondly, the team had to communicate with the community. Thirdly, they should always have an update from their company. If you feel something suspicious, do not hesitate to ask them a question. Thus, you can confirm whether they are legitimate or just a bunch of scammers.
Or maybe just avoid ICO totally? You really don't have to invest in any ICO in order to make money. It's really risky these days because most of them are just scams. They all appear legit every time but only a few of the coins get listed to trading sites. Fewer are the ones that gets to ICO price since most bounty participants will be dumping the coin right away. Even fewer are the ones that gets a price higher than the ICO price. Even fewer are the ones where you can actually yield good amount of money. So save yourself from all the stress and troubles in investing in ICOs and do something else with your money. Simply keeping it is better. This might have zero gains but it also has zero risk.
You have to know that these people are prepared for your questions. Most of the time the team is unresponsive because they are "busy" according to them but those that are responsive are ready for your questions. Their unresponsiveness is simply a way of avoiding answering questions. You see ICO scams getting exposed by high rank members when they start asking the real questions. So what they do is put out enough valid information to not be noticed or questioned right away and to buy them just enough time to get it past the token sale.
Pay very close to everything you invest in, follow them on all types of social media, and check with the community see who has worked with them and if they are trustworthy!!!!

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.
