I guess this particular season can be given special treatment in terms of warning because the surge this period is way bigger than every other period so this particular sounding of warning to users with social media accounts can steer up a seed in theit action for them to be extra careful of things they do especially when it comes to the Elon musk platform X and telegram which somewhat like a community for them.

This particular period is when the crypto scammers are most active and believe me they are at it more than you can think of, be if any kind of method they try to come at you, just stay focus and stick to the initial plans you had because where they start to get hold of people is when you are not certain and you start entertaining the idea at which is presented at your then that's when everything starts to get bad because a curious and naive mind would always want to try out things.
Scammers are always active, but whenever we are in a bull run, we are going to start seeing new people joining the crypto space, and we all know that newbies are the people that scammers are always targeting, because they are the ones that are easily going to fall for their tricks. People that have been in the crypto space for the long term will already have experience about most of those strategies.

When the bull run starts, we are going to start seeing different trading signal groups. We will start seeing different people creating groups, claiming they are professional traders, and will request for some money before the person will be added to the group. We are soon going to be seeing different scam coins entering the market, and after making their money, they will dump it on people, we just have to be careful when the bull run starts.

Anyone looking for an easy way to get rich in the crypto space is definitely going to be scammed at the end because they are going to fall into the wrong hands, thats  when you are going to see some of them putting money in some exchange that has promised them a high return and will call it a bitcoin investment, and at the end, they will end up being scammed.

How to easily protect yourself from online scams?

  • To begin with, don't tell known and unknown people that you own cryptocurrencies, because that way you draw attention to yourself and become a potential target.
The idea that prevention is better than cure is great. Your first step to being safe is not to be a target. When anyone knowingly or unknowingly exposes themselves that they own bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, they become scammers target.

  • Furthermore, do not believe in fairy tales and stay away from social networks as much as possible, especially in the context of any investments.
Simply put it that, no one should trust any random social media guy for investment advice or opportunities.

  • Last but not least - if you own cryptocurrencies, store them in hardware wallets or properly made cold wallets if possible. Never save your backup online or as unprotected data on your computer/smartphone. Also, forget about downloading pirated software, cracks and multimedia from the internet - in most cases, viruses and malware that specifically target your wallets are hiding there.
If they are to use an online wallet, why download softwares in same device. It should be air-gapped atleast.

Its the scammer's favorite season if you have social media and are active on cryptocurrency. You will see tons of ads related to cryptocurrency, like an exchange where you are invited to download and get bonuses for installing their software.
These scammers spend a lot of money on these ads because they know that its the season where greedy investors are turning blind to what they see.
Two sets of people are making a lot of money here, and its not the investors but the scam developers and hackers, so if you don't want to be on their list, educate yourself on how these scammers work.

Scammers thrive in bull seasons when hype and greed are at their peak. Always verify projects, avoid "too good to be true" promises, and never rush into investments. Stay informed and secure your assets with trusted wallets

This particular period is when the crypto scammers are most active and believe me they are at it more than you can think of

Scammers are always active and at the evil they love doing, because they don't relent for anything until they achieve their targets to scam, what is only different here is their routes in which they use as entry points, and that is why we also have to be always updated on the latest techniques used by these scammers to lure and deceive people until they hunt them down, once we are informed, we cant be deformed by them.

And some ways you get to know these things are scam is when what they promised is too good to be true,

I think the kind of scammers outside for hunt nowadays have gone far beyond using this kind of tricks, because they know that it has already been casted, people no longer fall for such as its now a common criteria to look in for, scammers have now advanced in what they do, they make it looks more real by being adding professionalism in what they do, so that they make it looks real or identical to the real one you might thought of.

Crypto scammers can be active anytime because they know that newbies are coming every day, and some of these newbies are joining the crypto space not because of the love they have for crypto, but for the love of money, which is ok, but they are always eager to make it quick, and since crypto is not a get-rich-quick scheme, they end up falling victim to several scams.

And some ways you get to know these things are scam is when what they promised is too good to be true, some of us lie to ourselves so we get to believe what is being presented at our front because greed and curiosity wants every part of it to be true.

Currently their are surge of different sites and channel that are crypto related and many newbie are out there looking for that one step that would get them rich with them totally forgetting that no crypto project is a get rich scheme especially not BITCOIN.

Please let's stay guided and be careful not only hyped up because the bull market is close by the corner because the good wishes can turn out to be something different.
When a newbie is after making quick money, they will be willing to accept any offer that will give them a huge return, not knowing that it is all a trap for them to lose their money.
Greed is the main factor that is affecting both the newbies and some of our traders or investors, which is what is leading to falling victim of scam because scammers are everywhere, willing to also make it quick.

Please let's stay guided and be careful not only hyped up because the bull market is close by the corner because the good wishes can turn out to be something different.
If I am not mistakenly I have shared something like this before and we need to be very mindful with the way scammer are using different methods to attack and steal people's funds, we need to be careful with the way they introduce us to some sites which might be trap for people to fall victim and we should mind how we connect our wallet online and jump into making quick investment to make profits.

Each day scammers are developing new ways of stealing from people. That is why we should always update our knowledge regarding security. Greed is the common reason why people become victims. And during the bull run more people rush to invest in the crypto industry. Many of them see the crypto space as a get rich quick, which is why it is easy to scam them. I usually suggest to newbies to focus only on Bitcoin investment until they have had enough knowledge to navigate the complex altcoin sector. Using a hardware wallet is also essential and for those who use online wallets, they should be careful of clicking on suspected links. It will be difficult to scam anybody who is not greedy, hence let's do our research and not always be moved to invest because of large or quick returns.

There will always be scammers almost every year, even in the bullrun season there will be more, I can already anticipate.

Too good to be true? Then this is like a ponzi scheme, you don't want to be offered an investment with an unreasonable ROI.
Avoid the usual memecoin trade, the developer will take profit in community purchases, so it is difficult to find diamonds in memes.
Do not publicize your crypto asset ownership because there have been many cases like this where they were stabbed or blackmailed to get your assets.

So be careful, because in the crypto world you don't even realize you're being scammed.

Currently their are surge of different sites and channel that are crypto related and many newbie are out there looking for that one step that would get them rich with them totally forgetting that no crypto project is a get rich scheme especially not BITCOIN.
If you think that investing in cryptocurrency is a get-rich scheme and you let your intention known to the investing community, you are an easy target by scammers. I have seen so many newbies asking what memes will give them profit openly, not knowing they are being watched, and will soon get an invitation to invest in one meme.
Scammers are good at convincing people, shilling their coin/token, and creating FOMO, so if you show your greediness, you will soon be out of luck.



They are good because they know exactly what you want and need and they present it to you because they know you will be too naive to even know its a scam and so many times these eager minds have fell victim because of the lack of research and ofcourse the thrilling urge to actually make money on a very quick instance which is the cause of every downfall of someone who thinks making money is as easy as ABC.

When trump announced the launch of his memecoin one particular twitter handle that has been sitting on the fence with crypto, twitter he was willing to learn about this new way of making quick money. Scammers would easily scam him because at this point he is FOMOing.

Then the rise of many telegram channels promising newbies that they will make money if they join their Airdrop channel. Another scam channel for new entrants. When they get scammed, they will make the excuse that it is crypto and they were told to invest what they can afford to lose.

Very true as this is the phase when every youtuber or influencer because crypto expert and you get to see so many crypto schemes promising good returns but trust me they are scam and we should control our emotions and learn from the past because no matter how much ever we create awareness o lli see people falling bait to fancy scams. It's better to stick to the basics and no matter how little or no profit you earn it's better to learn trading rather than joining any scam channels. Telegram has been a key channel for them to reach out to peole to find targets.

It is not easy for any beginner in any field to be accurate and able to pay attention to every detail. The field of crypto in particular is not easy to understand its basics and its rules (protocole) in a short period of time, especially if the person is eager for quick profit, it is easy to scam him.
In many cases, it has reached the point that people who have made profits are tracked and bargained for their lives or possessions in exchange for paying a ransom or giving their private keys. The matter may turn into a risk in many cases if the person tells everything to strangers and on social media, making it easy to monitor and target him.

Most scams are traps for greedy people, the crypto space is often filled with many too good to be true opportunities. Not only newbies, but even experienced people in the field of crypto fall to the temptation of trying to get rich quick and end up being scammed.

Here are some common red flags you should look out for when considering new crypto investments:
  • Promises of quick and easy profits with little to no risk
  • Pressure to act quickly, often with urgent or time-sensitive offers
  • Vague or missing details about the project, team or technology behind it
  • False claims of endorsements or fake testimonials to make it seem more trustworthy

I also think you should know about Rug pulls and how it affects investors.

What is a rug pull?
The term "rug pull" metaphorically describes the act of pulling the rug from under someone, leaving investors destabilised. In the world of decentralised finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrencies, a rug pull is a scam where project developers withdraw all funds from a project and abandon it. The project loses its value, leaving investors with worthless tokens or coins.

You can follow the link to know more about hard pull and soft pull, how to spot it and also how to avoid it. These information are very necessary for all crypto players to play safe and avoid scams.

True, I recently received news that Linux and macOS users should also have keen eyes, no matter how many people here talk about the best and safest systems. Fraudsters are actively developing various viruses and spies, not only for Windows systems. As the news says, "Fake Homebrew infects macOS and Linux machines with a stealer." Many Linux users love free software. "Criminals use Google Ads to disguise themselves as the Homebrew website and distribute malware for Mac and Linux, which steals credentials, browser information, and cryptocurrency wallet data." Therefore, it is necessary to regularly follow the news about various cyberattacks, viruses, and ways to secure your gadgets and devices.

Bull or bear market, scammers are always there, and wait for chances to scam greedy people who have more greed than enough to be scammed, too careless and too unknowledgeable as well as lack of experience.

Between bear and bull market, bull market is a more perfect opportunity for scammers to do their jobs. Check their Github activities, commits, and you can see part of their project activities and quality.

Altcoin season, scam altcoin projects will appear. Check their Githubs first.

Most of the scams will not have a Github repository. They have closed-source codebases designed so that nobody can audit the code and see when someone might actually rug-pull the project. It is easier to steal from your own users nowadays than it is to build something and contribute meaningfully to the crypto industry. A real crypto project will have a regular, frequent commits.
