Actually not all newbies or new users are doing scams it is not based on their post count. Let me give you a scenario what if a head company only heard the bitcointalk forum just recently and make an account in order to hire managers to work for them? See? here are some of the signs you need to observe in order to avoid scams.

1. No matter what the rank is if he's willing to do transaction with escrow. It's legit.
2. Look for the quality of his/her posts. You will know if he/she is a professional by looking at his/her post (Not all some of the big companies tries to scam too.)
3. Look for his/her background information (But of course we're in the internet, we don't know exactly who's behind it.)
4. If it's a company or project manager, look at the projects background, reviews and team.
5. Most of the legit peoples or companies will post the escrowed fund (But of course not all.)
6. They will hire a reputable managers (There's a high chance that if they hire reputable manager it's legit because most of the reputable managers review the project first)

we do have different basis in my case here's the thing i look for before investing to something, starting to transact etc.
Yeah brother all the signs you have mentioned here are very important and helpful to avoid such scams. It is natural that not all the people are scammers and not all are legit. Some people want to make money in easy way and to betray innocent people who do not aware of their tricks.

Many people have lost their money in the hands of these scammers like there are thousands of jobs on lime but most are scams and do not pay to its workers. Thanks for such nice information.

fraud occurs because we are too confident in the promises made by others without us clarifying the facts that happened

Look out for the people who arent willing to do escrow. Their will be guys coming on here promising you any gift card but you first must send them money. First sign is low posting number. There is a lot of signs showing someone may be a scam.

If you are doing transactions through bitcointalk, you may have already paid attention that we got blessed with something called "trust system".

The trust system gives us the option to untrust or trust someone, and it gives warnings to other people who may deal with him in the future.
The trust system is raiting based, which makes it safe to rely on, making it very hard for people to abuse the system by giving false trusts.

Always look at the trust raiting before dealing with someone.
Trust rating would really be a good sign that you are really transacting on a legit person but checking its legit feedbacks should really be always related on trading thing because there are some trust feedbacks isnt really related but still a good sign that you are making transaction on some good guy. Always check and if you do have doubts you can always ask the community.
Of course, if I knew where I could be deceived, I would have asked for help, but for today it's possible to get to every corner So that you lose everything. I think that only care can reduce the risks of being deceived.

This shouldn't be new information to anyone with common sense or access to these forums. If you're going to get scammed, you're obviously going to get scammed by someone who tries their best to get your money without involving any other people and someone who is able to ghost very quickly. Since people can make accounts here for free and without any IP restrictions, you'll often see people spamming accounts here. I still think there should be some really big sticky somewhere on the marketplace about safer ways to trade (or some warning in large text somewhere).
So much direct to the point Sir, but I think they have restriction of IP address specially in Signature Campaign and many more. That's why they investigate all their participant to avoid multi account. Correct me if that is wrong.

Theoretically, that’s the common behaviour of one scammer but in the past that all change many low ranking member has more tendency to pay than the much higher rank member. And this is because of Account selling and hacking that happened those wanted to scam bigtime used those accounts for this only purpose. We should be observant enough and take a step to warn others.

Yeah,most of the newbies who try do trade maybe scammers but not all.So escrow is must when you pay him with bitcoins.Because once you send bitcoin to someone you can't get back if they don't give their product or service.So you need to take care of your hard earned money. Smiley
Currently, bitcoin and coins are very expensive, this is a good opportunity for scamers to work. Please be patient with your account.

It's a norm now that when you are transacting you'll get an escrow but if the guy you are transacting with is trustworthy there's no need to avail escrow service. And here in forum make sure that you don't deal with those people that aren't popular and well known to have some transaction,also depend on the trust.

OK, thanks for the fair warning dude but to give you a tip, don't deal with newbies and even low rank member. You have to check everything if you are going to deal with someone here. Of course escrow is a must, if they don't want to used an escrow then ask them to send first. You can find a lot of escrows around the clock here. Although there's also high ranking members, usually buying a account to make such a scam, so you better used your common sense. This forum have seen so much scams throughout the year, that is better to be safe than sorry. Because we all know that every transaction is irreversible, that's why scammers take advantage of this kind of setup. I think you know where to find escrows here so I will not go and elaborate. Also, you can checked the scam accusations thread, and you will know what I'm saying.

Expect forum escrows and the managers you may not find the more people have trust and comes to deal with the bitcoin transaction for trade. Whenever you want to deal with the small rank members or newbies, you should have the intermediate person called escrow in your trade else you will get the scammed by that concern person. Most of the time people scammed the buy and leave that cheap rank account.
So be careful about that thing. Whenever you have that person or site you are using seems scam attempt. Create a thread and check with the forum members. They may give proper explanation about it.

if you see an outsider with someone offering a better escrow service you do not continue to use the service because if from the beginning it has been felt there is an awkwardness I'm sure it will lead to losses. but in my opinion not all escrow services will only lead to a scam but there is also really doing a transaction. and the first thing to do is if we want to follow escrow services should first look for an accurate information about the person offering the escrow service. because usually people get scammers for escrow services that they follow because of a carelessness without first finding accurate information on the escrow service and this is what makes the person will get a loss.

Investing is tempting because it promises little profit, especially if run seriously. Unfortunately many unscrupulous people are utilizing this to make a profit with the fraud mode. The lure of this investment offered with Rp 10 million we will benefit up to 20% a month. The claim of this investment is that our money will be invested into the coal business, petroleum drilling, or technology and others.

Its hard to trace those scammer people here in the social media. As I observed as of this days, scammers and hackers become rampant here in the cyberworld because of the value of bitcoin getting high. They do as much as they can in order have a victim and garner those bitcoins or tokens. Please aware and be observant all the time to avoid to be scammed. Hopefully the security is capable and strong enough to those hackers and scammers as they do their best to success there bad intentions.

I thinks we dont judge first the person who are newbie and wanted to learn about in doing in campaign,because not all new user are doing fraud,even those we found out that some of beginner post is not constuctive,because they are only starting to learn in the world of digital currency .even those escrow i thinks its legit as long as they not offended or doing hacking to our co bitcoiners,and as long they not offended to the other people  by doing scamming.

If people send money to newbies without any reference, then it is their own fault! But the gift card scams you have mentioned are small compared to the online gambling scams. New sites pop up every day with great bonuses and promotions to draw deposits in and then disappear after a while. But it is basically the fault of the greedy people and I suggest to simply use the reputable offers and avoid damages.
