This is a common types of scam already and the ones who will fall on this kind of traps are those newbie investors out there who doesn't know how and where to invest their money.

The problem to some of the investors is that they are too easy to be hypnotized by these scammers. Some will say "Invest here and will get 20% interest monthly". Greedy investors will invest their money there without knowing that it is only a scam. Investors must have knowledge and must know where to invest their money

right, it's better to avoid various types of invitations that are unknown or not authentic and untrusted sources. with simple delete and permanent blocking. Crypto users often receive invitations to their e-mails for the purpose of scaming our wallets. let's criticize fraud and scam issue by rejecting various forms of invitation with any reason.

This goes to those trading on websites like Bittrex, Binance and so on, please endeavor to always ;

1- use 2FA authentications or Google Auth as security for your exchange accounts. I got a phising attack on my bittrex and lost all my holding of 28,000usd. I am still in pains until today because of this. This should be an eye opener to traders before it is late.

2- Never seek website links from google or search engines, most links could be from hackers who do phishing attacks.. Always good to directly type the website of your exchange or web wallets into the browser.

I add some, never trust about giveaway, airdrop, bounty or anything about freebies from email. Most of them are scam and the email will give you a link.

Just don't click it and delete the email directly.

Of course, there is no such thing.as free lunch. And if something looks and sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Scamers always have new inovative ideas and always find victims because people are naive and greedy. Always be careful, think twice and use your brain and common sense to evaluate situation. Don't expect that someone else will protect you from scam.

1. In short, don't trust someone with your fund. You have the authority to do whatever you want with your bitcoin and avoid investing into investment scams that are promising high returns.

2. Yes, that's the best option, ignore them.

3. Contact the exchange authority and verify if they are conducting that.

4. Same as number 2.

5. Use reputable exchanges or buy from someone known.

Scammers are majorly after newbies to cryptocurrency. Funny many are been scammed daily. I have been safeguarding some persons in my country I come across, I help them to buy and sell bitcoin by referring them to reliable escrow and exchanges, sometimes they put me off the picture of their deals, although very few on of them, and some do get burnt, having a good mentor in this space is very important.

I remembered when I was a newbie I was almost scammed l was lured to send some bitcoin and promised a rate of Return Of 200% in three days time similar to hyip.
Honestly trusted exchange or resellers is the way out in cryptos because of fraudulent practices across the cryptosphere and moreso the use of ESCROW services is another option in transaction of bitcoin in addition to the OP ways of preventing scam.

I knew someone who never listened to me. He is fond of joining his acquintances who offered him doubled the money and promised big profits. If he just listened to me before, he will not cry like a baby now because they've tricked him.

Quote

2) Any one threatening saying they know your secrets and request you for Bitcoins,dont even care just hit the delete button !

I never receieved any kind of emails or messages like this. Considering they are harassing us and blackmailing us, we can not be threaten by those kind of messages.

Quote

3) Anybody calls you and says they are from your exchange and request for access/password,just hangup the call !

We should be careful to whom person we are talking to. There are some instances that a person will act and pretend they are a team from a particular exchange just to get personal informations from us. The best thing to do is to ignore if it is suspicious.

4) Whatever stories you hear or told,never let your bitcoins leave your WALLET AT ANY COST !

5) Dont buy bitcoins from anyone who says they are selling for cheap ! Buy only from Trusted Exchanges !

In essence, we must trust ourselves more and always be careful when entering your key key and not easily trust other people, especially those who you do not know for real or I just know on the internet.

The most common scenarios of those people doing scams are being pointed into numbers 1,3,4, and 5 because I think the number 2 is more likely a black mail since it already involves threat which is really alarming and I think is already in need to seek for assistance from the authorities. Well, all you have pointed out are all true because I have already experienced being scammed and I do really regret the decision I have made but I do promise not to make the same mistake again and to ensue the safety of my Bitcoin and also my other cryptos that they are always in tacked as well as my passwords for my accounts. It is really in need to trust no one because you are the only one who knows how to take care of your ow things. Better seek for second opinion from your closest friends before doing such actions.

people should be careful here:

- Announcements (Altcoins)

- Tokens (Altcoins)

People should conduct research: investigate team members, investigate location of company headquarters, investigate the code, investigate the smart contracts, investigate the partner, investigate what the project offers in real life or the online world, and investigate the white paper

and never invest money here:

- Investor-based games

I believe there are other suffisticated ways of bitcoin scam lately such as the use of phishing site to steal log in details and also the hacking into your email. I don't trust any bitcoin investment formula that promise double return on investment because the market is always unpredictable.

OP, your title is a bit misleading. I rushed in here thinking I was going to read about the different types of scam only to get "Guides to avoiding different bitcoin scams"
Maybe you should consider changing the title to a more fitting one

There are so man bitcoin/cryptocurrency scams that one can't even exhaust all of them. The most recent ones are.
- Fake wallets and exchanges that can steal your coins
- Advanced malware in form of apps and browser extensions that can steal your login detail or private keys.
- FAKE bitcoin forks meant to steal one's coins etc

Just add:
- Be careful when entering the private key, because many phishing sites are similar.
- Don't download content from untrusted sites.
- Be careful when using new exchanges.
- Be careful with hype sites that lure money fast.

Remember, protecting is always your best asset.

Tips for Respective Bitcoin HOLDERS :

Types of Bitcoin SCAMS :

The whole tips OP listed can only manifest if the victim is given to greed. Without greed on the part of the victim, fraudsters are as stupid as they come. How can you make someone rich when you aren't even rich yourself? Those who participate in HYIP don't even bother to find out from where the promises they are made of repaid interest will come from. They don't bother to find out these things before indulging the business.

Greed is everything - steer clear of it and your Bitcoin is safe.

There are a lot of scams on bitcoin. People are using BITCOIN for their scheme but if someone is offering a "too good to be true" investment then think twice coz that might be a scam! In regard with number 3., there are lots who do these on telegram. Pretending thay they are from an exchange and asking for $$$ to get listed on their exchange with a 25% discount lol Never fall on that!

Always do your research and never to fall in such discounted offers, with how the industry move forward everyone should always never forget the importance of studying and analyzing every investment that they've going to place their money, we have to make good precautions to avoid being
scammed and to protect our money.
