You should use your head while evaluating any project or offer. If you are completely new to crypto, I will suggest you to invest only in top 10 coins based on coinmarketcap.
I think do not be easily fooled by the big rewards, and see also the participants, many or no followers, last do not forget to join the telegram group.
when will join bounty campaign and also ico project, try to find your own, not a recommendation from person. even if it is a recommendation, we should know for sure the truth of ico, not just ico pictures only, but the whole ico project. I say this because sometimes people are sharing info about ico, they do not include in detail the project from ico.
By joining the ICO even if you do your research, you will not know that they are scammers until the ICO ends. The best way to avoid a scammer is to not invest your bitcoin. It's definitely a good conservative approach and I know many people do the same thing. ROI on ICO investments (when done right) can be nice.
So if you don't invest and risk then you won't get burned. That's obvious but the real threat are those exchanges and phishing sites and emails.
Be wary of strangers rewarding or receiving unknown or unknown emails
If a message sees you as a website visitor offering millions of gifts or promotes a quick and easy way to earn money or work, it does not seem to be a well-meaning message. If someone tells you that you are a winner and asks you to fill out a form with personal information, do not be tempted to fill it in immediately. Even if you do not hit the submit button, you can still send that information to the fraudsters when you start entering the data into the form.

First Spot imposters,Scammers often pretend to be someone you trust, like a government official, a family member, a charity, or a company you do business with. Don’t send money or give out personal information in response to an unexpected request . Then Do online searches. Type a company or product name into your favorite search engine with words like “review,” “complaint” or “scam. Next, Don’t believe your caller ID technology makes it easy for scammers to fake caller ID information, so the name and number you see aren’t always real. Don’t pay upfront for a promise. Someone might ask you to pay in advance for things like debt relief, credit and loan offers, mortgage assistance, or a job. Lastly, Consider how you pay Credit cards have significant fraud protection built in, but some payment methods don’t. Wiring money through services like Western Union or MoneyGram is risky because it’s nearly impossible to get your money back.

Sometimes it is hard to identify or recognize if they are scammer or not. I think the best way to protect ourselves to the scammers is to be aware like, check their website if it is real, the content of their white paper to know their plans about the project if there are lots of investors purchased from their ICO.
True, scammers are too professional now a days, can you just immagine how they created their own ico and after a few weeks or months we cannot hear some updates anymore after the ICO crowdsale or token sale. They are too professional.!
We must do something about it and must read more about the ICO before we do our investment. Do some research about the project.

Scammers are the reason why many investors are afraid to invest. Safety is very important in investment and as such you need to be careful. You have to keep your private key well by not sharing it with anyone and secondly securing it in a hardware wallet can also help.

Safety is very important! Thoroughly check the sites, get a good antivirus, learn all the ICO, where you want to deposit money. There are several wallets.
These are some of the reasons on how you can protect yourself from scammers but the very way on how to protect yourself from the scammers is to don't entertain them. If you entertain them, the chance that they will repeat scamming to others is 100%. Be wise when you are talking to strangers.
