Greed is the best tool scammers use to steal from their victim, if you are someone who want the short road to success I promise you that you will end up learning the hard way, with the little knowledge and experience I have seen in the past I declared that anything that's too easy is never going to be attractive to me, that is the scammers road.
Years ago you can easily and safely going any promotions online or free drops and you will get your tokens, but today even free tokens aren't free anymore, even if the project is genuine you can still get trapped, most airdrops are scam today and every shilling on twitter are ongoing because money is involved, those shillers are doing it for money too.
Today I prefer to focus on myself and learn good skills, even if its very hard i will keep going back everyday to keep learning and one day I will find my way with it, this is my own way in crypto space now, I have said my last bye bye to free offers, bonuses, and airdrops years ago.

I like this topic and it cannot be overstated as we are all prone to scams during this Ember periods. I will give you an example from a friend to support your assertions. I remember having a conversation with my friend like 3 days ago when he called me to confirm the price of a laptop to be specific an HP Spectre x360 price that he wanted to purchase it through a promo advert he saw online, on Facebook. The price he shared with me that was pegged at the PCs were like 90% discount off the actual price I know. Imagine selling a laptop of 1900 dollars for 130 dollars in the name of discounts and those laptops do not have any warranty and the sellers do not have any physical office.
The other funny thing was that you have to pay completely before delivery meaning the seller can decide to send you the product you did not order for or even ghost you afterwards and you have little or nothing to do since you can not locate them. The tactics like I decided and immediately advised my friend not to buy is that, they will make the items so cheap for you to be fascinated and then ignore you once you made a payment. So, indeed, this is the time to be extra careful of scammers and scam alerts.
It's imperative you take your time, know what you're getting into before venturing into it, remember all that glitters isn't gold. If it's too good too be true,my friend I can tell you for free, it's most likely to be too good to be true.

While your advice is golden, I can tell you for free that there are those who will still fall for what you've pointed out. To these ones, you're just blinking in the dark. To them, nothing attracts more than pyramid schemes or Ponzi schemes because of the unrealistic ROI they lure people with. Those who subscriber to Ponzi want easy and quick ROI and that's h they fall victims. Now is the time to catch the greedy ones. Scammers know this and will always restrategize their modus operandi for such a time like now. Stay safe my friend.
According to research, the rate of Bitcoin scams is highest during a bullish season. We are approaching a bullish season so you know what that means. It's not just about the Christmas season. Since most coins are bullish, different forms of scams will be formulated by scammers. They look for different ways to get victims.
One of these ways are shitcoins. They'll preach to you that the coin would be worth x20 in a few weeks or months so you'll buy. It's all bs.
The most common one during a bull run is when a person or a company approaches you claiming to be a crypto investor and wants you to invest with them. They'll give you 20-30% of your investment every 3 months. Does that even sound doable to the lamest of people? Sadly, it works.

December, being the last month of the year that has Christmas and new year celebration is a month that many people get scammed, so it's a time to be very alert and vigilant concerning every financial enticements. Many scammers will want to accomplish the remaining of their new year resolutions, before another new year sets in. Therefore their desperation will increase, and it'll fall on ignorant victims to pay the high prices with their hard-earned money.
We should avoid opening sites from unknown sources, verify every Link that promises to reward you for what you did not apply for, avoid Ponzi schemes of any sort, avoid people that tells you to apply with money to be rewarded by an NGO, because who wants to help you will not tell you to pay money first before receiving help, avoid unknown persons who calls you for help, most are scammers.

The sure thing is, that there will be lots of propaganda and some people who will gonna take advantage of the current hype, to stay away or prevent yourself from becoming a victim of their frauds and scams, you need to have enough knowledge to shield yourself from their sugar-coated worse and false promises. Yesterday I saw a post on social media where they asked for people who were victims of Ponzi Schemes in the past and you cannot believe what I saw, though it's only restricted in our country, the number of victims is huge and some of them even blame bitcoins for their loss without knowing that it's also a victim like them because it was used as a prop to lure them and make them believe that is a way to invest in bitcoins.

Scammers look for greedy people and they will easily know these people based on their aggressiveness and conversation. Scams are everywhere and it is too hard to trust someone online, especially when it talks about investment and money. But I was just wondering why many were still falling into this trap and just wondering why many were still not able to determine if this was a scam offer or not. Some say that a person can't determine if a project is a scam until they experience getting scammed.

Of course this is advice, but you also need to put it into practice too. There are many ways that can be used to stay away from fraudsters, one of which is to do research and don't believe the big profits provided by other people. There are no easy profits from just a little work. there will be challenges of course. Many scammers take advantage of other people's ignorance so that they can get trapped with promises of big profits. Crypto is a place where there are quite a lot of scams, so you need to be careful.
If we talk about the crypto world, of course it won't be far from fraud, in fact they won't be able to trick their victims, just look every year the fraud methods change, starting from telegram bots, chat, phishing. and offers tons of crypto benefits just for doing the job. easy. In essence, they use various methods to trap their victims and are always there at any time, especially when market prices start to rise, the fraudsters will carry out their actions with various kinds of tricks. And it is true as you said, to avoid this we have to be careful and continue to do research or continue to follow crypto developments.I also often get chats from Telegaram with foreigners, initially they invite acquaintances and claim to be investors and offer various kinds of big profits. This is one of the signs of a fraudster, we have to be careful. Don't be easily tempted by the lure of wealth that is offered because no one gets rich and tries to get rich. There is no such thing
If you are very desperate to get rich and you are also very greedy, impatient, and selfish at the same time, then the person getting scammed is just 5/6. Those kinds of people are what scammers are looking for.
I think the ratio is even higher than that, its 8/6 cos that person is blinded to reality and is living his/her life on fiction and false truths. This is the major loophole maximized by scammers to promise such person unimaginable opportunities and breakthroughs, thereby exploiting his/her vulnerability easily and scamming them finally. One thing that marvels me greatly is how people leave their brains behind while engaging in such schemes, they do not even ask themselves important questions like: - Are these companies dully registered with the country's corporate bodies?
- how do they make their own money?
- Who are the team behind the project, and how reliable are they?
- Do they have a feasible money making strategy?
- is the money they promise you commiserate to the money they make themselves from their activities?
- do they have proper risk management team?
- which valid company covers the insurance on the money you invested?
- their certificate of investment, if there is any, is it valid under the law?
If you are careful enough, you should verify all or most of these points mentioned above to know the authenticity of these companies. They come promising good things and breakthroughs that they themselves couldn't even attain and if you're insensitive of their plans, you will be a cat fish for their pepper soup.
Of course this is advice, but you also need to put it into practice too.

People believe on such things because they want to become rich quickly. These "too good to be true" kind of deals and offers are usually a red flag and it is important to watch out for these.
Online scams are on the rise and more and more middle class people are the victim of these scams because they want to get some extra money for their expenses. Now a days, people are scamming others through email and fake phone calls. Do not share your personal and family information with anyone until it is a certified government department.
Regardless of the season, these scams will always be there. No matter how many of us direct newbies to the light, they will continue to exist.
A continuous drive of campaign and information that gives warning to the new and even the older ones must be done. We can start with our relatives and friends then online friends and so on.
I have my friends again approached me this December asking for specifics about the crypto market and investing on it, and the reason for that, they don't wanna get scammed.

This time around scammers ain't smiling, they will try all means to drain your hard time earnings because in this season they are alot of desperate people that want to make it pretty fast with lesser effort. Because of that mind set they have at that moment. they we then focus their skills in scamming other desperate and greedy people. There's reason they call them greedy just imagine someone came to meet you telling you about a way you can a large amount of money using a lesser amount in a short period of time. Without researching nor thinking you just dive in because you also want to earn large amounts of money with lesser effort, is better to manage the little you have than to lose it. If wasn't for greed and desperation you wouldn't have easily fall as victim.
And they will just fail if we have to think about their offer first. Most of the time we take action first before thinking until we find out that we already fall into a scam. Yes, scammer will find their way and by all means, they will get you no matter what. That is how aggressive they are and every mistake we commit a big chance for them to succeed. That is why we have to stay away and never listen to people who talk about investments that offer huge ROI because this is a clear scam trick. In fact, nobody will give you "profit" if you do nothing. 
The truth is, they are getting extremely good at scamming, the most popular one is using greed to lure people, and we all know that greed is something that almost all humans have in them, from free offers to fake raindrop links and also fake NFT and tokens sent to your wallet address waiting for you to claim them, little do people know that it's all a big scamming plan, once you try to claim the free things your wallet is a second away from getting drained..
The best advice I can give you is to avoid every possible free stuffs in crypto space, either through mails, messages or PM, or even in your crypto wallet address, do not try to claim any free things, and if you are someone who is deeply into airdrops make sure you don't store any valuable coins or assets on such wallet, use it only for airdrops purposes only.
Your main crypto wallet is meant to stay offline for more safety assurance, you shouldn't use such wallet for any Airdrop tasks or use such wallet to claims and buy stuffs by connecting them to a platform.

Apart from crypto self, in anything you are doing in life, being greedy kills. Most people get scammed because they are to greedy and want to make money with ease. Nothing comes free. When something is too difficult to be real, then run away from it. Although I've been scammed twice even though it not in the crypto space but scam is scam, so I have learnt my lesson.
Those who are greedy will be caught in their seduction by multiplying profits or something similar, in the end we will experience losses or perhaps something even worse. Moreover, fraudsters are now increasingly sophisticated, so it is true that at the end of a year like this, especially when the market is in a good trend, there will be many fraudsters appearing looking for victims, always be careful in everything, especially in the crypto world.

Speaking of flex and looking to fulfill it for the end of the year. It depends on geographical location, in the US the time for the preparation of the new year has passed but in countries mostly Africa this is the moment for their preparation for the end of the year activities. So many people look for get rich schemes with ridiculous percentage gain,this scammers know there's an increase desperation by people this period.
Yes, but with the report and ROI investment scam scheme. I believe only the newbies will fall for get rich pyramid scam scheme.

Mistake of other people is they still believe that there's online platform that can make them rich nor a token with no solid future plan can give them a lot of profit that's why they always been caught up with repeat scams happening in crypto.
If they are just aware on any to good to be true offers or know how to play with the fire on investing on token and don't ask to much for it for sure they can get the best result of their investment but if they became more greedy to ask some huge profit out of it then expect that being scam will be their end point.
To stay away from scam much better if they just go away on obvious scam and don't invest on quick rich schemes.
Yeah, scammers really take advantage when folks get distracted over the holidays. People let their guard down and they'll click on sketchy links or listen to pitches that seem too good to true. Can't blame them too much - who doesn't want some extra cash this time of year?
But this time of year brings a chance to reflect on our finances and set some sensible money goals. Instead of panicking about money when the holidays roll around, we could use this as a jumping-off point to cultivate better financial habits. It's a chance to educate ourselves, make thoughtful changes, and work toward being in better shape next year.
