I think the information you provide is very helpful but for now there are so many ways fraudsters to deceive the investors so as to make what is available on the website as real and as convincing.
If I was to be asked by anybody on how to protect myself or anyone else form scammers I will say the best way is to avoid clicking phishing links and always login to your accounts from the valid secured websites as stated by the projects or the wallet producer. Thanks
Protecting yourself from scammers is the one of the hardest thing to do because of its ability to pursued you and make believe that it is true and very convincing especially now a days that they are using names of good investment in the market. So one of the best thing to do is investigate used your ears, eyes, mouth or in other word your senses and asked all the necessary questions to be asked and go further to investigate them.
For me, my only reason is, if someone encourages you to join in something that they have a points that they earn from inviting others it is mostly a scam. Because if it is not, then why they offer it to increase popularity?
As what I've knew, scammers are those people who do dishonest acts like stealing of something else with value from the others. So, for you to keep yourself or your account safe form the scammers first thing you need to do is to ensure to lock down your password you need to create and strong and good password security to protect your account from scammers. Second, you need to ensure the security of your connection. You must open your account only at home for your safety. You must not open your account in any other cafe due to account sensitivity. Third, in order to know if there are scammers who attempted to open your account you must set-up account alerts. There must be a signal or notification that you may be notified every time your account will be opened. Fourth, avoid phishing scams. Lastly, you must practice yourself in being a vigilant. You must always pay attention, knows how to catch small problems earlier.
To make it short this people wants easy money in a short period of time so you can easily catch them off guard.
They want money and you want guarantee. It will be a fight of patience. When you are asking too much they tend to go away and will never return to you even if they create new accounts.
All of that scam can be seen thru that except the one in ICO's. If they are good at faking the team and the product then it will be a research to go their deepest files.

The best way to scam people is to offers the most sugary word with the things people want! Easy money, easy rich, getting rich by sending money and someone will send back the money in much more, this are the things scammer uses, "What people wants in the most easiest way" so in order to avoid them is to know really your needs and work for them.
This is a very interesting and useful thread.
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.
It’s actually simple as that instead of giving your bitcoins to some scammer just hold it into your wallet and see your profits increase or if you are experienced in trading, you can trade crypto currencies and make some money or even when you lose it you lose it on your own volition instead of being tricked by someone.
Is just being careful with your private key and your confidential documents.
I agree with various opinions on this thread, personally I use this way to protect myself from scamers;
-, check or do research before starting investment, transactions, etc
-, keep your privacy for example: personal data, private key of your wallet, password, etc
some cases of fraud occur because the victims are careless, SO keep calm and be carefull

I believe that doing research before taking any decision is the single best option to stay safe. I have saved my thousands of dollars just because I read the topics about the particular investment option when I was about to invest in it. I realized it multiple times that there is something wrong with it and in most of the cases, those sites were exposed and investors lost their money. When it comes to crypto, it is all about self-responsibility and we deserve as per our actions.
Amazing feedback guys. Just to let you know, I have been updating the main thread, compiling all the wisdom in this thread in one place for us to use.

One of the best things to do to avoid ICO scamming is to learn and back read all information about that ICO. As they always say " More knowledge is power" Secondly, The team should have been communicating to the community. Thirdly, always they should have an update from their company. If you sense something fishy do not hesitate to ask question from them. In that means you can confirm whether they are legit or just a bunch of scammers.
Sear for no one to show their passwords and private key, do not pass to non-secure links and be extremely careful
You have to first realize what they want from you. In the end it's always your money, while in the process they may want some personal data, a phone number, whatever they can get into. SO, to avoid scammers never willingly give anything. Don't share your real social media accounts with random people, keep your email addresses to yourself and if you have to use them make sure to have burner emails. What are burners? Not necessarily emails created for every forum and project. Just emails that don't contain your personal data and that you're not using for online shopping, banking and so on.
Scammer are the worst internet entrepreneurs night mare, the fact that you can lose all your hard work in a matter of seconds is frightening enough, the best way of avoiding their keen eyes is through encryption, encrypt your wallets the best way you possibly can, and if possible, use hardware wallets. they will protect you to the fullest.
I can protect it by for not talking on strangers in social media or other website. And protect my wallet using hardware. And you need to be knowledgeable
Being knowledgeable can help you to protect yourself from scammers, think before you do and also review before you make any decisions. Don't be ignorant. (peace)
