Am a beginner and I was telling a friend about this forum and it's beneficiaries, but it all turns that he said it all a scam so I want to know how to identify scammers and if there is any how can we know them as a beginner.
It depends on how your introduction went, but sometimes people don't want to learn something new, which is why they will regard anything related to cryptocurrency as a scam because of a previous scam they may have experienced.

Scammers are difficult to identify these days because they take different approaches to scamming, they practice their scamming skills on a regular basis, and they link them to the latest technology that people use.
Anyone who offers you a free way to double your investment is a fraudster.
Anyone who looks desperate for you to invest, or who appears eager only for you to invest in any platform he/she introduces you to, is a scammer.
There are many ways to identify scammers, but you can't know them all. All you need to do is be cautious and avoid being greedy, and study enough so that no one can con you out of something you're supposed to have to know.

Just as others have said, Bitcointalk is not a scam. It's a forum for discussing majorly about Bitcoin and crypto in general.
If your friend wants to avoid scammers of being scammed then they probability shouldn't go anywhere near the altcoin section. They should stick to the Bitcoin discussion section and learn whatever it is that they want to learn.

But if he decides that he wants to explore further then he should take note of projects that are offering rewards that are too good to be true and also he or she should try to learn how to research extensively about a project that way they can reduce the risk of them getting involved in a scam project. And they should never trust anyone online no matter what they may say.

I don’t think you explained properly what the forum is all about, why would he call the forum a scam when he’s not paying any money to use it. I suspect you told him of the “benefits” of the forum, anyone would skeptical of a platform where you get paid to make posts. The forum isn’t scam-proof but the community makes it extremely difficult for scammers to thrive here. Make sure to check the trust ratings of members you’re dealing with on the forum, scammers are very easy to identify their script is always too good to be true. @cryptoaddictchie already gave the link to Scam Accusations I believe you will learn a lot from the threads there.

You may also see a user that may want to impersonate you in order to scam you.

As for my experience on this forum, it is the other way around. I only know more about scam on this forum and how to avoid them. It depends on you, if you really read new topics and the replies, also making good posts (because if you read what others are posting, you will want to contribute in some discussios), you will understand how this forum will be helpful to you.

The forum isnt a scam but some of the projects basically in altcoins that launches or being introduced here are scams. Not generalizing it, but typically you could determine if a project is a scam based on their presentation ans moreover on your deep research about it. From ground roots like website, team profiles, and etc.

You could also see some scams being busted herr if you go to this particular thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
