Topic: Two strong policies to save your being scam - page 2. (Read 429 times)

The number one suggestion is one way I've learnt how to live my life and its been super profitable for me so far. Its the best way to stay safe o tell you, having the mindset that nothing is free and as such, there is a price to pay, a work to be done or a service to render for the next cash or reward your to get. It somehow adds value to what is gotten actually and that's how you won't get to do away with it easily or without a good reason to it.

In the second suggestion,  I just take it that, supposing it was real, the project planners could just keep ripping without any problem of funds or capitals. So, what would your little token do for such persons...!

Unfortunately, many newbies are too greedy to be aware of it, money is likely sweeter and more interesting than using logic and mind to avoid this.
Many are still trapped with their too good to be true projects or investment 
Sometimes, I feel sad towards them, which easily deposited a lot of money should someone they had not known with the lure doubling their money quickly.

I ever read on a telegram group, they will get 30% profits in 24 hours only and can withdraw the profits directly after 24 hours, with many fake chat members and fake proofs, sadly, some people believe this shit fake investment. Sadly but I think it's a little bit stupid to believe. 

Mine is a bit stretch and they want me to contact me in either their Telegram or WhatsApp.
They are claiming that they can 8x my money within a week, and they have these stock photos in Facebook claiming in their bio that they are Forex trader, crypto trader and full-time crypto investors and all that kinds of stuffs that you know that makes money from investment.
They want me to give them $100, and they just did not know that I baited them a little bit.

This is why people need to be smart in terms dealing money online since even their relative can able to scam them if there's huge money involve how much more the online strangers where we don't even see there face nor know little information about them so its really good not to go with those person who lure and promise that they can earn huge money the same with them.

People need to understand that before we earn we really need to put a huge effort on everywhere we go.

It is also relevant to know very well who you're trading with

Understand market research and survey so you don't get brainwashed

Seek for knowledge and make personal research online

Avoid spamming, and investigate websites very well.

Check their record history and testimonies

Research their office location and physical building

If it is too real to believe then its too risky to invest

Don't go for invest now and gain double of your investment the next day

Lastly research their license and registration details to be legit

I was about to say this actually but you already state the obvious and in addition scammers nowadays are getting smarter to fall their victims with their bait. If only newbies won't be so greedy just because someone offered them a nice return doesn't mean it hasn't some risk and that risk they should be aware of because I'm sure what the scammers are after is your lack of sense of how to minimize/avoid the risk. And just like what the OP, said there are no free money in this world, either one of you is going to win and the other is going to lose.

In fact, paper wallets are amongst the safest ways to store cryptocurrencies and you surely have access to the private key. After all, a paper wallet is simply an address and its private key.
However, you have to know how to create it safely (choosing a secure and safe generator and running it on an air-gapped device).
Bitcoin ATMs aren't supposed to be used to store bitcoin. So, I don't think they fit in that list.

One place I think scammers strive and newbies or victims suffer really hard is on telegram, the rate at which people fall victims to scams on telegram this days is really alarming, there isn't a day without a new victim of scam in some of the many groups I belong in, and this is why I want to take this time to really advice newbies to not respond to random private messages on telegram, 99.9 percent of those private messaging you are scammers.

Group admins on telegram always have this warning that they never pm first, so when ever you have a problem and complained in a group, ignore all the random pms you get, just report and delete the message, if there be any you must respond to, do well to confirm from the group if the person pming you is truly an admin or a scammer, (which he or she might likely be).

And again, what ever link you click from telegram, never provide your personal information or wallet information like private keys, seed phrases and whatever information that will give a second party access to your wallet, always verify to make sure that where you are providing your wallet information is a genuine source and not some phishing/scam site.

I abide by these policies at all times. So far I have not been the victim of any major scammed. Those who are more greedy are the victims of more scammed. We should control our greed.

Actually if only one person offer them a too good to be true profit for sure many newbies will decline but unfortunately this kind of scams is organize by many people as they created a group to make their work success as they mostly posted a profit towards their investment on the platforms and this the one effective method to lure newbies. New boys in town should always put this on their head that there's no group of people can give them a huge amount of money without doing anything and if someone tells you that you can earn money even if your sleeping then turn down those offer since most likely its a scam.

When one always expect easy way of making money such person is always seen as an advantage to scammers.

People who tend to multiple money in an investment scheme try to meet up with the promise of the first set of persons who invested with them to convince others that they are real. After getting more people who want to invest with them they will be no where to be found. That is there strategy

And that's the one thing many people fall to understand, and the reason they will still continue to be scam day by day. 

Never store your cryptocurrencies in any place where you don't control the private keys, such as:
A cryptocurrency exchange.
Any online wallet, including online wallets in an exchange.
Any wallet on a web browser.
Any multi-signature wallet on a web browser.
Any paper wallet.
Any cryptocurrency ATM.

Exactly, how could anyone believe that someone whom they didn't recognise or even know from long time will be sending them coins or will provide them funds without anything? There is nothing that comes free as said by you as it has some hidden cost associated with it which is likely to be hacking your personal details or scam you of funds.People usually lost because of the greed like get your free money ads make them attract towards scammers and then they regret it.Free money is available but only for hackers if you look on opposite side.So be aware of such malicious website and ads.They provide free giveaways and when you click on the link the virus hacks all the wallet.dat files on your computer giving them access to your funds also.Be safe.

The hackers usually display links like deposit your money and double or triple or even more within few days.This is purely scam and for these tricks they use twitter and social media accounts of some companies or renowned persons.Like in two cases which i remember was of Clown Musk where hackers portray themselves on the timeline and ask for coin deposit to double them which caused million of fund loss.The second one was redmi official page hacked and offering similar doublers which was scam.But the main thing is how the hell people believe that someone will double their funds so easily?

But yes your funds need to be managed and be safe by you avoiding any such types of scam.You will not get money but will also loose what you have.

This is a very strong policy for me (Common Sense).

Because there could be a free that is legit and not a scam, even though here in our community, there are some of them offering free giveaways or contests in Games and Round sections, so that is literally free or a website that has a legit running faucet.

But if you have common sense, you can simply sense if there is something want to scam you.  Bitcoin doubling is the most common scam and even now has been existed.  Always be careful dealing with unknown people on the internet sometimes can avoid you from getting hack.  On the other hand, hackers and scammers now are getting smarter, we should be careful with them use our common sense over greed.

The thing is, this kind of victims are guilty of falling for the "crypto experts" scam, and it's particular with newbies, cause they are prolly new they believe there are crypto experts that can make quite an insane ROI in little or no time. That's basically why I do not like using the word "experts" around newbies, they tend to get the wrong message and it could cause them to make a mistake. Another area this problem stems from is "success stories", people hear one success story or the other, without even confirming the legitimacy and immediately wish to replicate it, but instead go on to lose their funds; new crypto users need to be more careful, less greedy and more hungry for knowledge, that's the only way they can avoid most of this scams.

Seriously lot's of people have been scammed just because they fall for this trick which people use to scam. And I believe those scammers are always after newbies, people that are just entering cryptocurrency and most of them don't really know about cryptocurrency and some are just hearing people saying cryptocurrency and they also want to feel amount and someone can just message them and use any of the listed Format for them and they will also send the person money and get scammed.

Actually from my perspective i will would say that the only reason while people get ride into scam is because of much inquisitive to acquire or to secure a larger profit, secondly most times people like easy access to get ride to something without much stress, but base on my understanding i capture that anything that is not difficult to get leads into  a negative impact which will definitely come back with a remorse, any business transaction which the profit is three times higher than the capital during negotiation is absolutely scam from my personal taught.

1. Nothing is free in the world, so don't expect anything for free. And not all efforts are rewarded.
2. There is no such money-making machine that would multiply your assets within a day or month. Unless it is luck, the money earned by luck will sooner or later be lost because of strength.

This one is an important point, but there are sometimes exceptions to this rule. For example, when there is a need in spreading awareness about a project, it may well be justified to give away the coins for free. I am not talking about thousands of useless airdrops, where the only point is to enrich their creators, but take bitcoin as an example: in the past, it was possible to obtain a lot of bitcoin for free via bitcoin faucets. Another example is scammers themselves: they are free to join cryptocurrency space, they are free to create their own coin with unique features, they are free to profit off of it. The question of whether it is legal or morally justified doesn't seem to bother them, but given the nature of the ecosystem, you can't effectively prevent them from doing bad things.
