Topic: Watch out for the scams out there - page 3. (Read 2394 times)
Solid stuff. This year 2018 has really seen a hike in the number of scammers. And it is as though people are getting more and more careless. It is really beyond me. I think investors' concept of Bitcoin also matters. If you see cryptocurrencies as a fast means of money making, you'll most likely fall into a ditch. Because that is what scammers do. Most times they gain leverage by depending on your own greed. So, in your search for profits, one needs to be extra careful out there.
Any direct peer-to-peer transaction is always risky, as most people use it as a means of scamming others.
Escrow is always important, or you use a smart contract.

There are a lot of scams floating around and you gotta be careful.
All it needs is a bit of common sense and everything else will be normal.
Don’t trust everything as sometimes it is not just true but rumours.
I thought that this kind of fraud does not work anymore. Who believes in these conditions? It seems to me that now the schemes of scammers are much more secretive. It is very difficult to distinguish truthful ICO from the scam. Maybe the project Menlo.one can help with this.
We need to get out from this situation and look for projects on our own, until there is an assistant like Menlo.one . Studying the team and the usefulness of the project are the main criteria for selection.
I don’t invest in any site, except on those that are very popular and well known by everyone for their good reputation online. I also don’t jump into any business I see on the forum, most of them are scammers, and I don’t also do business with people here.

We have to first figure out who is he better to find his identity his name his address.Bitcoin is really a risky a single mistake can lose your all money better to be active and smart before sending money.
Bitcoin scams is increasing everyday and we need to be on look out in order not to fall a victim. Using an escrow service when going for a trade is good but just to be sure you are not getting scammed. Still understand that the escrow service is to be trusted. Localbitcoins kind of does the trick for me and i have been using them for quite a long time. There are also many other sites that relies on good form of escrow and creates a neutral ground where buyers and sellers meet.

For me its stupidity to sending someone money you don't know. We are aware there's 99% scammers here and all are looking for our money. I have never send money to unknown person.
That goes without saying. Before investing your money into any speculation, you should ascertain to a certain degree the possibility of that project and the skill of the team handling it.
There are so many poorly managed 'good' ideas.
Do your OWN research. And don't just follow the recommendations of a crypto influencer.

Always be on the lookout for scams to avoid losing your assets and investments.
In the crypto world, there are lots of ways to get phished. Scammers and hackers are everywhere.
Secure your assets, always.
To avoid scams I suggest never invest in anonymous cryptos and new ICOs until they listed in exchange because when they do not receive funds they ran away with money. It is better to invest only in authentic and reliable coins like bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin etc. if you invest in these top coins you will be mentally relaxed.In the crypto world, there are lots of ways to get phished.

eDo not trust easily to someone you aren’t sure of. Always be careful when doing transactions specially money transfer online because once it is done it can never be undone. There are many bad people online that pretends to be good it is hard to identify them.
Lots of scam ICO are out there don't even know the real one to invest on
Wish I knew that before getting scammer $7 for $10 agc! 
Take that as a very cheap lesson even if for you 7 dollars is a meaningful amount of money you should consider yourself to be lucky there have been people that lost hundreds of bitcoin to scammers that are now worth a fortune, so remember to always use an escrow for any deal, there are some escrows that charge you money but there are others willing to do it for free, just look that the escrow has a good reputation or you could lose your money to them as well.There are many scams out there and when the scammers wanted more than just scam for a few dollars, they would create an ICO. I do participate in some bounties and then after a while, the team would be inactive and leaving the investors and the bounty hunters in vain. There are times when the ICO is not scam but they do not pay the bounty participants which is quite unfair that's why we should have a consensus that tokens should be escrowed.
Yeah thanks for reminded us.. and it's not only that, now scammers more increasingly a various forms of its deception. Anyhow internet is the one of the scam's media that's really suitable for a scammers.. and of course scams forms in cyberspace, it's harder to read or researched than scam in the real world. Sometimes someone who doesn't intend to scam, but we consider it a scam and vice versa. Well in essence we've to be a more smarter person.
Unfortunately this is the reality of this space, you cannot ever let your guard down, there are people trying to scam you and there are others sending phishing links and if you click on them you risk losing money as well, this is why sometimes people in the forum may seem to be paranoid about stuff but the truth is they are only trying to protect themselves and others of being scammed.Thats why cryptocurrencies have so bad reputation. You can count on scam on every step of the way.
There won't be mass adoption until this problem get fixed so every illiterate person can use it without fear.
