1. Pray to God for you not to be a Victim

---snip---

That's the whole definition of god isn't it? I mean I am not a religious person myself and I understand where you are coming from because I do believe that god has nothing to do with this situation. However, if you are a religious person and pray to god constantly, then isn't the whole idea of god is that it helps you with everything? You get cancer, you pray to get healed, you lose someone you love, you pray for power to overcome that sadness, you are poor, you pray for more money, you are sad then you pray for happiness. What you want, think of it like "wishing" for something to happen and even preventing bad things as well.

Like your kid goes to school, you pray they come home safe, nothing happened so far but you pray that it will keep on not happening in the future as well. That is what god is to many people, I see where you are coming from, but if you try to understand where they are coming from them praying not to get scammed makes sense.

Failures can happen anytime, just because you pray to God doesn't mean that you can avoid getting scammed. Praying does help if were talking about cures and stuff but still i don't think it can help you not getting scammed. We are bound to have failures in life because without mistakes we can never learn. It's the same in trading.

If you're gonna keep on praying down on your knees but did not apply any actions, then you're efforts will go to waste but if you're lucky enough you wouldn't get to be a victim. Some scammers out there are very skillful and i'm just being realistic. Those who are already knowlegeable in trading even got scammed because the scammers defeated them. Even some people who are very successful right now experienced failures in life because they take their mistakes as their lesson in life that leads them to success. You see, God hears our prayers but test us, for us to be more stronger in life. He is telling us that, if you want to get happy and successful you must pass this road full of failures to achieve your goal.

scammers are always looking for new ways to launch their actions, so we are forced to not easily trust new people we know on the internet. other than that, don't be easily trapped and persuaded by the lure of scammers, keep using logic and don't be greedy.

These are really good points, the one I am very conversant with is that email, you will be surprised when you check your spam folder a lot of fake and dubious messages from all sorts giving you two days ultimatum if you don't upgrade this or that you will be block

a novice will not notice if it is a fake message. usually the message contains a sentence directing you to click on a link and it is a scam link, if you click on the link you can lose access to your main account. it is for this reason that when participating in an airdrop I usually don't use my primary email account. make sure to always update your anti-virus and always be careful because scammers always use different methods.

If we all agree on this, we will be wiser. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, and they are increasingly employing important people. They strategize a lot more now than they did previously, and they use a lot of tools. I'm both astonished and terrified since they're always changing. We should conduct research in order to gather expertise in order to combat this scammer, and we should be extremely cautious.

A very good point because now they are mostly doing things in groups, and we are facing some serious difficulties in this all I personally scammed, and I lost very big amount because they were really sharp and informative about situation where I was stuck, but I have this scam as lesson and now doing things much better with patients because in search of quick result we are really bringing ourselves in terrible situation which give serious after shock. Scams and these scammers will be around us until we have some good number of stupid peoples, so try to have your homework in better way for avoiding things like this.

1. Pray to God for you not to be a Victim

I have to disagree on this one, it is not actually necessary to pray to God so you won't be a victim of scams. Trading uses talents like skills and tactics in marketing. Praying won't help on this type of area. We all know that to be a good trader, you need to experience failures, so that next time you encountered scammers you'll know to handle and to avoid it because you knew how scammers act.

No one is bound to have no failures unless if you are really lucky. Every one of us needs experience to learn.
If you failed because of scams and lost all of your assets, it might be dissapointing but it is not the end. The next time you do it, you'll know what to do because you have learned from your mistakes. You may even become a good trader and achieved success in the near future.

Be alert and smart even ther are smarter those who are scammer,don't responds if someone asking EMAILS ,and don't give any information that you are not familiar that someone ,messeging you in to your emails.Logout or offline if not using your emails.

Being smart and being aware of situations because even just knowing with the basics then you could eventually able to save up yourself on possible trouble.Just be sensible towards your actions
because if you are really that too careless or you do just let your greediness overcome or control you then you would really be ending up on having a bigger problem.
Scammers are always 1 step ahead when it comes to scammy ways but if we are really cautious then you wont really be most likely to be victimized.

If we use a PC then the most important thing is to always update the antivirus, I use ESET and several times detect viruses and malicious programs that enter the PC via email or website links, that's the easiest way I do because I've lost 0.65 btc when I'm not careful transact so that the bitcoin address I want changed and until now still traumatized if I want to send bitcoin.

Antivirus software might help in some cases but it is not wise for cryptocurrency folks to blindly rely on it because it sometimes can't detect some sneaky sophisticated malware. Moreover, if it can't detect something, it can't prevent you from clicking on a malicious executable file that you receive via email. In order to avoid being scammed this way you obviously should not carelessly click on attachments even if you know who the senders are. What you should consider doing to minimize the number of malicious emails is to try to use a separate email for each service. Consider using services that provide disposable emails or aliases. For example, you register with one of your aliases, once you start to receive malicious emails you can disable or delete that alias completely. Not only does it give you some protection against spam and malware, but it also protects you in case there is a major data breach. If one of your pseudonyms becomes publicly known, you simply delete it and no longer care you will receive some malware on a leaked address.

The problem with antivirus software is that until they detect a piece of code as malicious and they find a way to nullify it then that code can do all the damage that it wants to a computer, and since the people behind that code most likely are looking for financial gain then this means that you are always at risk of installing something that eventually leads you to lose your coins, this is why I recommend those people that cannot secure their computer to get a hardware wallet and forget about those issues.

AV's are just second layer of security and whats the main one? Its up on your own common sense and awareness about potential viruses and malwares.If you do have the habit on downloading recklessly then most likely

you would really be ending up on unfortunate conditions due to being hacked because of downloading malware and viruses.I have tried out back in the past that i dont have Antiviruses but did turns out that im still

safe despite of that condition which do proves out that if you arent that careless then you would really be saving up your ass on these conditions.

Scammers will always be everywhere especially now that everything is accessible through the internet. As technology advances, scammers are also getting techier and would always find ways to fool people. If they're getting smarter these days, we should be wiser than them. They have different strategies to fool people but we have to be skeptical and just think before we click.

If we all agree on this, we will be wiser. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, and they are increasingly employing important people. They strategize a lot more now than they did previously, and they use a lot of tools. I'm both astonished and terrified since they're always changing.

and it looks like the scammers will not disappear anytime, they will always change the technique. so that what needs to be considered is that we must be careful about the security of personal assets, besides that do not place assets in one basket, because if we experience a disaster, all assets will be lost. therefore dividing it into several wallets would be wiser

Yeah Scammers have started to function as an organisation/group. This will make people easily believe in them and loss our hard earned money. Sometimes because of the scammers we're in a situation to doubt even the trusted service providers. Myself had few experiences doubting the legit service providers. One incident happened in the recent days. Myself requested details for a brand's franchise. The enquiry call came and I explained all my ability. Later my mind thought this is someone else and not the real representative and started recording all conversation and made an enquiry with the company itself. There they confirmed it is their representative and gave details about the employee and his id and made him talk with me.

Avoid being greedy to protect yourself from deception there is no substitute for awareness to avoid cheating if you want to do any business or transaction you have to do good research on the sites because, the main goal of fraudsters is to embezzle money. If there is written evidence and witness in any matter, it can be proved very easily no one can be given or trusted during an unfamiliar site fraudsters work very cleverly and cunningly. The most important thing is to keep yourself safe at all times.

Two simple steps will protect you from most scams, common sense and due diligence, if someone is promising huge returns in exchange from your money then most likely that is a scam, but people get greedy and they want to believe they can make a fortune without lifting a finger and this is simple not possible, now some scammers are smarter and they make everything seem more believable, that is when due diligence will save you as scammers cannot completely cover their tracks and if you look hard enough you will find something that is not right with the project.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.

The most important method not to fall for a scam is to trust your own gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true then it's probably a scam. Also if your gut feeling tells you something is out of place or risky, get reassurance. Dont ever let yourself be put in a situation you don't want to be in and don't let anyone gas light you into doing something you don't want to. I've sent so many scammers running by calling them out on their 🐂 💩...

In general, keeping away from strangers who give big offers is the best solution, nothing else. The more we got in touch with them, talk with them, the more likely it drags us and become their victim. We should have to bring aside money but focus on what might be their intention of getting close to us. Thus, if we keep that ignorance and being a fool, we surely know what will happen to us or just to realize after.

Anyone who gives you money and asks for a collateral that has some sort of value is definitely going to be a red flag if not yet a scam so tread carefully, these people social engineer you into believing that you're helping them and in favor they're supposed to help you.
