This is so true , newbies have to be advised against scammers . there are somany many ways  they operate now and if you are not wise and careful you may fall into their trap . it only a pity that even some old crypto dudes also fall for some of these cheap scam. i think  One can enjoy the cryptoworld and overcome scammers   if you put greed aside.
For newbie I think it's difficult to resist desire to get a large profit when there are projects offer lucrative rewards. The nature of our greed as beginners must arise, but when we get scam, then that is a lesson for us to be more careful in the future.
This is true! Even for experienced traders, that's so hard to resist our desires! Especially, don't think that experienced traders can't get scammed! I don't agree that Dhoe said "cheap scam", yeah, they maybe cheap but sophisticated! Scammers always think ahead and create some sophisticated traps that we are not aware of! They don't use the same old tricks again and again! That's why we need to be ware of all the time!

That's why it's better to always learn first if one have interest in crypto, learning should always be the first thing not money making, without the proper knowledge about crypto one will only turned into scammers meal

Sovryn - Brings DeFi to Bitcoin

Last week, I found an airdrop project in Telegram called Marco Protocol, the airdrop looked decent at the first stage, I earned 200 MAPC tokens and that was instant! But you only can withdraw from your MAP wallet when Airdrop program will end, that's good, I am okay with it. Their airdrop tweet got 8K retweet and 9K likes, so, you can understand how hype it had!
But yesterday, they announced they are going to sell Bitcoin at a 50% discount to celebrate the halving. Can you imagine? 1 Bitcoin price is 8600 USD, people can buy by 4300$! I believe This is absolutely scam but many newbies already have fallen for that! As they saw MAPC has huge support in twitter, and they listed on CMC too.

If people still fall for this then we have too many stupid people in crypto space, and for some it's just simple greed that's swallow them alive, some things are just too good to be true but many want to believe them that's why they end up giving it a try

Sounds too good to be true in my ear, this is absolutely what newbies like, they like taking useless risks like this one, someone telling you to make deposit so you can get double of your deposit back is a scam, another example is buy gold or valuable item at a unbelievable low price should be alarming to you
Yeah, newbies should be alerted about something like this. It is the most common trick of scammers to fool newbies. The sentence "too good to be true" always need to be in your mind. When somebody gives you an unbelievable offer sounds too good, just skip it! You rather skip the opportunity once (which is most likely a scam) than be fooled and lose your money!

That is right we can not stop the scammers, but maybe we can avoid our money from them. As you above mentioned before investing in any project we should make good research about this project. Maybe it can help us to learn something about the project is legit or not. l prefer staying away from any social media groups like telegram or something else. That is why most of them are really a fraud.
The Telegram group didn't do anything for us. Actually we shouldn't stay away from the telegram group, but I'm not sure about other social media to involve scam. You should join the "Bounty Detective" telegram group. I got all legit airdrop links in this group, although this group is also popular for legit Bounty campaign.

Mapc teams looks like a scammer, I did their Airdrop also, at first they said it w be swapped at ratio 1:1 but later they changed to 10:1, they keeps changing it till reward for Airdrop worth below $1, I don't think any investors should trust Mapc team with his/her fund.

This is absolutely bad but you can't conclude till you see the final result but I would always say everyone should be careful and make thorough research before doing anything online. Once you buy you can't be refunded and it takes God's grace. The promises is actually questionable. Let's be always careful to avoid heartbreak.
For me, this isn't heart break news. Because most of the airdrops should be scam. Absolutely sure that over 80% airdrop is a scam. We shouldn't participate in any airdrops without a top exchange offer. For airdrops we should follow some telegram groups like bounty detectives. By some limit of Bitcoin, any project can offer a low price of Bitcoin, why can't scam airdrop projects?

No one will ever stop scammers from invading or scamming but all we have to do is to ensure we don't fall for them by doing investigations before investing and also say no to hyped from telegram or any social media claiming to be genuine.  Not all that glitters is gold.

I couldn't agree, scammers will always devise new means when an old one seems to be outdated and casted becuase that's all they know how to do best. We all the legit ones out there ought to ensurs at all cost we don't fall for such scam and the easiest way to prevent oneself from getting scamed is by knowing  how to control the greed within and when you have control over the born greed imbedded in every human, you'll ne ahead of your games

Unfortunately, it looks like your call off worked. the telegram group has little or no members. it is down to 8 only. probably your exposure has opened the eyes of many in what they are about to fail for. there is a reason why it is advisable to DYOR before investing or engaging in any crypto startup activities. so many scammers are out there. it can never stop.

We can only speculate and assume if something is still a prediction. Usually, something that is too promising is false, too good to be true. So make sure that you do an analysis in-depth and thoroughly, if you are sure then join, if not then leave. Very simple right? Remember, don't regret the decision you made, because it is the decision of your analysis.
After all, everything can happen in the crypto world, often even something that happens beyond prediction. So just enjoy this dynamic, use safe methods, equip yourself with knowledge, analyze before choosing, it minimizes risk. Unfortunately, newbies ignore this and are easily provoked by the lure of big rewards.

Scammers are born from newbies who participate in their ICO, because new users don't know about ICO, ICO is currently not popular anymore, remember you can get scammed
Yes, but the newbies who don't know about ICO also cannot be blamed, because the scammers only take advantage of the gaps and opportunities that are open in front of their eyes to commit fraud, so in this case the scammer is not the newbie who likes to participate in ICO, because in the past when ICO was popular there were also many newbies who participated in it, but they were not victims of scammers, it all depends on the intention of the ICO developer.
Fraudsters do not use gaps in the ICO, but the absence of any regulation of this type of activity. Therefore, they constantly invent and establish new responsibilities for bounty hunters. At the same time, developers of ICO projects often use new responsibilities in order not to pay out the tokens we earned. Great damage to the participants of the ICO bounty campaigns over the past few years has been done by KYC checks, especially if they were carried out after the end of the ICO. In this case, they could refuse to pay earned tokens to almost anyone.
Therefore, I expect that in the near future, states will begin to organizationally regulate the activities of ICOs. Only in this way it will be possible to get rid of fraud.

Ironically, this is just like 2017 all over again with the free coins or tokens and then the unbelievable offer of 50% discounts. There are still many gullible people nowadays and it is no different in 2016 and 2017 where there was a ton of free coins and tokens being given away by scammers. We just need to be very vigilant when it comes to joining (if you have plans of joining). Let the issues of the past be a lesson to us all. Not to easily sway to these scum.

Newbie often tempted by lure rewards or profits provided by Developer. They don't want to analyze first whether the project is good or not, So they are easily trapped by Scammers. I am grateful that the ICO project is no longer available today.
well, there is no ICO circulating anymore, but you have to know that the current IEO method also cannot provide security guarantees that IEO can provide a lot of benefits because some time ago I had experienced the case of IEO in a new exchange that ended up scam so whatever the bidding method given at least stay alert because it concerns your money.
