The vitality of the fraudsters in the cryptocurrency world comes from trust and consensus, greed, blindness, fueled by lax, irresponsible regulatory authorities, multiplied by the mesmerized commission rate. The more people who love crypto, the more fraudsters will appear.

Due to the increased popularity of cryptocurrencies, there has been an increased number of scammers both in terms of ICOs and in social media. You would find "official" representatives that would "propose lucrative deals" in the name of the legit company. There is only one result as a consequence - you losing your assets.
Thus, always keep in mind that real official channels of communications work. Also, if you see those posts in social media promising returns without a legit background (a.k.a. a full-blown platform) is a sure way to lose money. Creating bots on Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram is quite easy these days. Make sure not to repeat mistakes that others made before you https://www.cryptocointrade.com/
Not to mention mining pools and app scams going on right now. Some of the Facebook groups that were excellent in terms of trading discussions now turned into scam marketing sites.

Person with high skill and fund but never want work hard to create higher income. Lazy person with high education is more dangerous than people with highest hard work but have no knowledge. To face them only need hard rules and always careful with any content that want to click, check again before too late. Maybe if you want sharing scammers information with us it will be helpful.

If you want to save yourselves from scammers you need to know how to fin out the legit and scammers for that you need to increase you knowledge about the analysis of ICOs.Don't get attracted into any ICOs because of the high number of followers because it is very cheap to get those amount of follower from some sites.

I believe before crypto popularity increase such as now scammer already exist and learn from people mistakes and educated yourself during joining in crypto community gradually can avoid you to get scammed because scammers appears in everywhere especially when huge money involved then there will be too scammers aiming us to stole our money

Yes, they have existed in this market as far as we know, remember the HYIP boom around 2015-2017, many newbies that time including myself fall for that trap. But as we grew, scammers became sophisticated, ICO became their breeding ground. And then their phishing emails, impersonations, lots of methods circulating around and even evolving like a virus.

Who can't blame them? There are huge money involved in this market and lots of gullible person who easily persuaded with a promise of good returns. Scammers know the psychology so its really up to us, to be very careful there's no difference between a $1 or $1 million, anyone doesn't want to lose money to those scammers.

Scamming had always existed long before the Advent of cryptocurrency. Cryptosphere arrival only created another platform to would-be scammers to continue the act, so this is nothing new other than people have to be less greedy and more careful not to get scammed.
if you say the anonymous nature is a powerful weapon for every scammer, the huge value in crypto is the main goal because they don't need to work hard to get big money...

Yes i found many link phising of exchanges and wallet, so when we put money in to cryptocurrency is important to make sure we have some knowledge how to avoid it. Hacker is always looking for many ways to stolen our money,  so we should also have protection for our digital asset. Use anti malware on every device and always login by use bookmark link is one of the way to avoid that.

I find that using common sense and using your brain usually helps you steer clear of any potential scams out there. For example, if anything's promising returns of any sort, chances are what you're being offered is a scam. If it's too good to be true, it definitely is, and there's always strings attached.

ICOs are inherently risky, and things have only gotten worse over the years as ICOs have exploded in numbers. The only ICO I've ever become involved in and invested in was Iconomi, and I've never taken a look at any ICOs since. Most ICO threads are filled with useless spam, and the ICOs themselves are often horribly managed.

In everything about business, you see the scammers also. They take advantage of genuine investors and as the market increase, the scammers introduce their families and friends into it and the it boom.

The scam was entered mostly because of more profitable platform in the society. But we should not predict how to catch him properly in the market. I think families and friends are acceptable but most of the peoples are having number of alt account in privately so it could be affect the signature campaign. Because the rules are given multiple accounts are not allowed so manager's only choose the desire participants. We are all aware in the crypto community automatically scammers are reduced in this forum.

The blockchain realm is plagued with those looking to cash in on greed and naivety. What follows are predominant crypto scams on platforms used often in cryptocurrency. So we need to fight back. If you notice a scammer account on Telegram or Discord, definitely notify the real team members so they may take action. If you’re approached by a scammer on Telegram, the quickest way to handle it is simply click ‘Report Spam.’ After a few incidents of this, the scammer will be unable to message new people, protecting would-be victims. This effort is key, as it enables requiring them to use a new account to continue their scheme. We ar Primary have the practice to never PM any of our member first to avoid people get scammed.

There is always a saying that goes like this, "If it sounds so good to be true then know it is not true" most people get scammed because they are greedy and so carried away, always verify and re-verify any thing crypto related that you want to do.

"If it's too good to be true", so don't fall for this trap. Used your common sense and don't be greedy as well. Scammers are out there, offering you lucrative deals but you have to ask your self, if this realistic? If you think that its not then don't involved yourself.

That's why you really need to be careful, not just for scammers but for phishing links as well. Sometimes its healthy to lose, to give you a valuable lessons. Personally, I fall for a HYIP early in my crypto journey, its a rude awaking on my end so I became very suspicious of everything I see. If I wanted to invest, I also do my own research first and see if its legit or not.

That's why you need to be more selective for what project do you invest.
Remember cryptocurrency is high risk high reward activity so make sure that you have prepare to loss and consider profit as the bonus.

Scammer is just like criminal that looking for the profit !

Yeah scammers always go to where they can make more money out of people's misery and crypto is a perfect platform for that especially with a lot getting expecting easy amd quick profit that's too good to be true. Easy target for scammers.

It is because there are also greedy money-lookers out there while they are being ignorant in taking precautions in investing or participating in these projects that is gonna involve money at its fullest. We can't just simply blame it into scammers, because all they do is scam and there are those who feeds them that's why they multiply. They're gonna keep raking bags of money as long somebody puts money in their plot.

I didn't see anyone link to this thread, so I'll do it.  Take a look at how many scam ICOs have been advertised here--it's mind boggling. 

I've never invested in an ICO, and I don't plan to ever do so.  Most of these projects are obviously blatant scams with pretty packaging and nothing more.  Most claim to have ideas for problems where a blockchain solution doesn't even make sense. 

For those of you without a sense of history, check out the South Sea Bubble, particularly how many new ideas were coming out for people to invest in--in the linked Wikipedia article, see the "Top Reached" section.

Same thing happened not too long ago with the dot com bubble, where venture capitalists were funding any business plan, no matter how ridiculous and unprofitable it was, without question as long as it had something to do with the internet.

My point is that people go crazy sometimes where money is involved.  Lots of folks saw how rich early investors in bitcoin got, and they're either trying to replicate the success OR scamming people who are looking for the next bitcoin.  This is going to end eventually, and just wait--these ICO bounties are going to be a thing of the past.
