Scams are now increasingly active and massive, the trick that makes us often complacent because we think it's not a scam is that they send tokens to our wallet, when we see the address contract and then open their website they will suggest swapping with a connection to the wallet and this is very dangerous because of the way they cheat and take the private key.

Wow, the truth is, I did not know that modality, so it means that the ways of scamming are making them more and more credible, the truth is very difficult to open the site and change like this, first I would go to look for the contract to see if in reality It exists, but there is another variant, if it is in the ETH network, it is even more difficult, it would have to be in the BSC network because the fees are really something exorbitant, and metamax has some security when you go to do the swap, if we enter through poocoin You can see at once if the chart is a scam currency or not, that's the good thing about the contracts and seeing where they are listed, and the other option is searching for it through tradingview.

1. Avoid strangers sending you PM or seeking for your attention, no one wants to help without wanting something in return
2. If you want to buy any coins or token make sure you go through coinmarketcap and copy the projects smart contract, this is what you will use on uniswap, pancake swap and others
3. Avoid connecting your wallet to unknown websites
4. Nothing comes for free, only run after what you worked for

Greed has led so many people to falling a scam victim. Its so cruel how people are wanting to make millions without putting up a reasonable investment on an initiative and promising project. Crypto isn't a get-quick-rich-scheme like ponzi but rather something far better and smarter than ponzi. You just got to follow the right channels and right protocols to avoid getting scammed.

crime occurs because there is opportunity and desire, in other words fraud is not only caused by greed but also negligence and ignorance. Knowing the risks of investing in bitcoin is not the only thing potential new investors should know, but they should also know how to store assets safely and stay away from obscure sites.

Yes, and these people are looking for quick money, which is the primary reason they fell victim to a scam. They are putting their trust in those who offer high returns and passive income, and as a result, they get scam. Well, they are just getting started in the field, so we could say that they are just getting their feet wet in terms of investing. Now is the time to advise and guide them on where they should not go with it. I have also informed my family and friends about something that I am aware of in order for them to be aware of it.

In a way it is natural that newbies make newbie mistakes as it is part of their nature, but at the same time it is so infuriating that such mistakes can be so easily avoided and yet the newbies decide to keep making those mistakes even after they have been scammed once, I would think that after being scammed a person will decide to do what they can so this does not happen again, but instead they try to earn money quickly again to regain the money they have lost only to be scammed yet again.

You shouldnt really tolerate this actions because you've been thinking that you are a noob so its normal to have mistakes which you can eventually able
to avoid on if you do really have that ample time on researching everything and when in doubt then there's a community which could help out.It is just a matter or being aware and sensible towards your actions and wont really be rushing up on things just because you dont know on how things works or moves. Mistakes cant really be avoided though but doesnt mean that you wouldnt learn specially if you had experienced it even once.

If we are often online then we must always check the antivirus on the PC, currently there are too many malicious programs that can steal our data so antivirus updates are important, I use ESET32 and there is an automatic update service available, besides that if we open a site that related to data access such as MEW so be sure to type it manually.

You are absolutely right, in my case when I operate with the MEW I always make sure to use only what is necessary, that is why it is always good and advisable to have the funds either in Binance or if they have it in a wallet, something well protected with all the necessary security fractions, some say that it is somewhat exaggerated, but I have discovered that through cookies many hackers reach our PCs and steal our information and this is something very common, if we do not have to remember the Ransonware things that it is now the easiest way to rob any person or business entity.

We need to learn from those stories where actual people really suffer from those hackers. Having your fund safely stored in your trusted wallet is really important. In all aspect securing our money is very important, hackers are everywhere they can quickly penetrate if we give them the hint, if we put down our guards and relax with our security hackers will take all the time he has to suck our wallet or any important information that we have.

They can easily sell it out online without our knowledge. Be careful in anything that you deal with, make sure to increase your protections
by using good antivirus and extra layers for your securities.

Yes, computer security is very important, I have seen the case of several youtubers who have been victims of hacking of their MEW accounts, and I think it is due to the lack of antivirus, I think that Windows 10 does not have antivirus but a "Defender" that does that function, I do not know how the compatibility will be to install an antivirus with "Defender" active, however it would be good because the latest antivirus have the functionality of "Ransonware" protection and safe browsing through another tool of the same One of the most used is the 360 antivirus that is free and updates itself.

Yes, they trust those people easily without knowing what will happen. Because of their greediness, they look for quick money which lead them to being scammed. Sometimes they find where they invest their money which they can gain high return of the money they invested. Scammers also always find new ways to steal your money using cryptocurrency. One sure sign of a scam is anyone who says you have to pay by cryptocurrency. Of course, if you pay, there’s almost no way to get that money back. Which is what the scammers are counting on. So, Let's be aware of it and be careful always to avoid these.

right, in analyzing a new project it is very important to know the track record of the developer so that we will be more valid in the analysis. if the track record is good, and the team has succeeded in several big projects before, then it is very likely that the project is also worth investing in, although we don't know the truth, and everything has risks

You will gain idea if how things will work inside the project if you know who are the developers and what kind of development they are planning around. Your engagement will guide you to enforce your decision making.
Keep on digging so it will be more easier to workout with the team and lessen the chance of losing your money. Very important to
make sure that you are in the right team.

Scammers are so advanced now-a-days that they try to convince you in anyway about their ideas so you may be influenced by them and make a quick step according to their planning.
They may take a lot of money from you or may hack your data. Both results in a great loss.
To avoid it the most important thing is to be aware of that the scammers always try to convince you by giving fake gifts of large amount. It nothing more than being stupid to believe on them.

To me the saddest part of all of this is that scammers are not that smart at all, they literally just ask money for their projects and people give them their money without thinking about it, it is as if people do not see the money they have in their wallets as real money and they take risks that they will not take otherwise if they could see that money in front of them in the form of cash, in fact this is a very common effect and it is why physical casinos will exchange your money for chips so you do not feel that you are using real money.

When I look for a new project, the first thing I look at is the team, whether the team participates in events or comes out in public to show their face. Usually the people behind the scams always use a fake or random photo.

That's why you have to do a research carefully before investing/interacting with certain sites/projects. They can use other people profile pictures and people in here would just believe it without even do a research. I would recommend people to check the website and whitepaper if any for your own sake. It contains crucial information about projects/sites that you are currently "promoting"

It is always recommended to check the white paper but it is very easy to create a fake wp, they usually pay third parties to write it. That's why I usually go after the team, the events they participate in, the lives, the publications, where they worked or their real experiences.

Scammers are capable of paying someone to make things look legit. You have to go deeper aside from the white paper. Very important to know who's the developers and what are the capabilities that they've got before you throw your money and invest with the project, knowing all the grounds about the team will lessen the chance of getting scam.

Not totally removed the possibilities, but it will give you a good chance to earn from the project.

2. Through social media platforms

I hate this #2 until today! When I was a beginner in crypto, I lost more than $300 in a fake Telegram group for crypto tutorials! That was my first capital and it took me a lot of time to recover it because at that time I didn't know other ways to give me capital like participating in airdrops, bounties, and so on!

you have to persevere in what needs to be done and you also have to check carefully if it's the right thing to do because of course it's not going to release money especially now that it's like chasing money and before you enter the digital currency and especially investments not all investment is true, sometimes there is a real scam, of course, just be careful in these ways.

It's not easy now to find legitimate projects, because scammers are very serious about committing fraud. Scammers will do anything to make
projects look legitimate, including creating fake white papers. Therefore, to avoid being scammed, not only do we check the white paper,
but also investigate the track record of the project developer team. If any member of the team has had problems or cheats, it's clear to leave
the project. It is also very important for future projects to have a team of developers who are competent and experts in their fields. Then make
sure the project road map is clear and reasonable, lastly the purpose of the project is created, its use must be clear and reasonable too.
The inspection method that I have described does not guarantee 100% to avoid fraud, but at least maybe 90% can save us from falling victim to a scam.

If we actively use email, we must always be vigilant and never click on unknown links, most scammers take advantage of malicious programs sent to emails even with the title of being a winner, claiming coins, reward bouties and so on.

Just don't talk to a stranger on social media and in all any forms of contact that just contacted you abruptly. Scammers will do almost every trick once they've already a scheme and strategy. Some might choose that they know and those random victims.
Never talk to anyone that you haven't talked to before if it's about making money or how to build your wealth through investments. Because most of these scammers are playing psychologically and using people's weaknesses to trick them and one of it is through money and greed.

Yes I have heard about this also, a friend of mine was a victim of this. His identity is being copied and are using her name and image as bait to a foreign people especially in Aisa to extract money in a form of MOL points and it can be used to buy avatars and weapons to some online games in excange of cash.

Main point is, no one is safe from any form of scams or identity theft. We just have to make secure to never give our informations to anyone even friends who might use it illegaly, especially in social media.

There are lots of that in telegram specially when you are and admin to a legitimate project. Lots of new and uneducated investors are prone to these scams specially those who doesn't know about keeping your private keys nor phrases. These scammers can even create their own group and could even create a total fake website that is 80% similar to the original one. Just like Uniswap where I crosses this website also having uniswap in their address but seems fishy with their fonts and spellings. Never ever connect your wallet to these sites or you will lose all your funds in that wallet.
