Topic: Ways to avoid being scammed!!! - page 9. (Read 1244 times)

Nope, I'd rather have them talk to me properly rather than doing it like this which is really a half-assed way of actually asking for money or managing it for me (assuming that there's a problem really). Heck, I'd actually restore my trust earlier to a foreigner who scammed me rather than my parents scamming me, since really, it's just a really stupid way of dealing with their child.

That doesn't mean though that low ROI projects aren't scams. There are still some out there, especially ones that actually bide their time. Those ones are the really devious ones imo since they're actually trying to gather the money slowly while thinking investors would still get profit in years. Really, I'd rather get my money scammed rather than my time.

Yes, those are some ways to protect yourself, but I think many more could let you know where you get when you surf the internet, there are many software that are launched on the web where even your cookies can enter the pc or any smartphone We cannot forget the cases of ransonware that is currently the most common, for now I think that is the cause that many companies and people have fallen, the data that is left on the web is a trace that many look for, more when you know that you trade crypto.

Because most of the time, they don't dig deeper. When they see too-good-to-be-true ROI's, they jump without searching for more info. As mentioned, if the return is not realistic, doubt about its authenticity. You may be falling to a trap and your hard-earned money will be wasted. Scammers are in all forms. Sometimes, you just realized it when you found out you were screwed. So before getting excited, make sure the platform is legit. It is better to get low ROI as long as you can get, rather than high ROI but no assurance that even your initial funds can get back.

Greedy people are always easy to lose their self-control and probably got scammed. I have seen some cases like this, people who know scams well but got scammed because of their greedinees. That's why we must always remember that think realistically and be careful with each decision to do. If someone or a team project offered a big amount of money with no strong reasons, we must suspect them are scammers. No one wants to give their money for free without a reason.

never share our personall data in our social media account was be best way to avoid scammers attact us. alot case happening caused by photo in social media accounts, scammers or hacker could use it for bad stuff. phone number , personal identity , our home location and other should privately safe and never share it to unknown people.

Scammers are even wiser than us in finding ways how to scam newbies in the market. If we tend to be more educated and knowledgeable, of course they become smarter too in their own ways. So it really matters on our attitude and how we'll deal with this market full of scammers.

Common sense will not be enough as most of the newbies have hard time instilling it in their minds. I must say just being responsible with your personal account and learn not to share them with others even how close you are. Scammers are unstoppable so we should be more vigilant and cautious whatever actions we make.

Common sense...
I'm not sure if all of us have that simple thing inside. Trusting someone stranger and give him the money as he/they talk about a good-looking and promising offer? That is exactly how many people got lost their common sense and get scammed. This is mostly happening to newbies and this will always happen to them when they don't change their greedy souls.

OP had said it but honestly, there are ways to get scammed and these scammers are too smart enough than us and that is why we have to be smart as well in order to deal with these people otherwise, we fall into their trick.

That is probably one of the first things you should do, however that is the basics of it. The weird thing about getting scammed is that most of the time it is after a "chat". You could get automatically scammed as well, download some bad software, click on a wrong link, basically all of the wrong things. However there are whole companies that are scam, whole projects that are scams.

I have seen a pancake copy called fullsail or something like that which started, collected tens of thousands of dollars, and then closed shop. So basically it is definitely possible that you could trick too many people together. It all depends on the project and how you do it, I have seen people spend tens of thousands of dollars into huge stuff just to trick people into believing they are legit just to end up tricking people into paying them huge amounts. So, it is not always as simple as phishing, sometimes it is the long con.

To protect against a series of attacks via social media and alt communications that contact you without you ever doing so I think you have to think it's definitely a scam. Make a call but you have never had a connection before about the things the scammer is asking. So in this case the scammer does have many ways. We must really keep social media so private when it comes to data theft.

Whenever those things been suggested or post up in Binance launchpad is something i do really spot on because considering about the level of risk then you could really able to see their differences and by just using up

your common sense then you could really able to tell on which one is worth or really have the potential that could grow its value but of course its not always a guarantee and you should always mind off the risk.

New projects or coins is totally something in default which this had been used on scamming out newbie investors this is why you should really be watchful or be aware.

It's very easy to build tokens and there ain't much difference how ERC20 tokens are build compare to BSC, this have been around for years so it's nothing new, to invest in new altcoins one need to pick them from reliable sources like binance exchange, kucoin or new platforms like polkastarter and Dao Maker

Well, when you're talking about wallet security, I believe Trust wallet and Coinbase is not the safest. Not your keys, not your coins. Though this wallet providers has a high trust rating, but it's still susceptible to hacking and any kind of wallet attacks, and you can also lose your asset anytime.
If you're so concerned about your wallet and asset security, you should use cold or offline wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano S. This will prevent you form any harmful attacks online and it is the safest when we're talking about asset security.

Getting scammed in the cryptocurrency industry had become so ubiquitous that some people believes it as a part of your cryptocurrency journey or a rite of passage that will determine how you would fare against the daunting tides of this field. Thing is this shouldn't be the case no matter how common scamming happens between people. That's why I always ensure that everytime I introduce someone to cryptocurrency, they are full-equipped with the knowledge that they can use to fend off these scammers and avoid losing all their hard-earned assets altogether. One of the best tips I give them and I could give newcomers too is that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is, so might as well avoid it. I can never reiterate how much this tip had saved me.This is kind of unavoidable since you will always have to input very crucial information on cellular and electronic devices whenever you would make an activity that involves cryptocurrencies. Additional protection wouldn't hurt at all so whenever you login, or input some vital information that hackers could use to steal your identity or your money, all their efforts would be in vain. I personally don't use password collectors because for me that's like putting all your eggs in one basket but to each his own, find out whatever works for you best and stick to it.

You highlighted some minor ways hackers can penetrate devices and they are important because most times being careless with this little ones might still give those hoodlums edge over your device. But we should still be concious of the fact that hackers are actually very desperate and can go any length to steal your information which includes breaking into your device using malicious apps. Avoid storing some very important information on electronic devices should be another way to keep safe from hackers

Cryptocurrency is known to be get rich quick investment that's why new investors engage to new projects. In the case of greed, it's their fault for engaging investments that are promising high yields in such a short period of time. Most of these are newer projects and I have been with it for a long time which I have been holding some of their tokens still even today which its prices are still dipping even in the altcoin season. No chance of recovery because it's all just a disposable project. I was avoiding it this time and feel more secure while just trading BTC and top coins.

It's very obvious that we are one that give scammers room to penetrate into us, really i know it's difficult to detect who is a scammer previously but due to a lot of challenges and level of scam that's flying around the nation, i derived a means to eradicate them not penetrate into any user, so don't  be forcefully engaged in any investment platform, secondly don't respond to conversation you know that is made of much profit or promises, so if  you happen to come across this two things i mentioned just abstain from them.

We have to divide crypto assets into 2 types of wallets, namely safe wallets and exchange wallets, I use Trust Wallet and Coinbase, and as long as I store bitcoins everything is safe, the most risky thing is to store in wallets whose reputations are not known, because currently there are many offers some wallets even want to give profit every day if we store bitcoins there, be aware of this because it will usually be a scam.

Sometimes people who were aware of such scams also falls for it because their greed blunts everything because when money comes in someone's mind they will lose their self control for sure. That is why we should never desperate to see money,learn how to make it and make enough to think that its enough for you.

Dont let yourself fall on greed then you should be fine because this is where people do really fall into the pit of getting scammed because they do really believe that making money is just too simple
without thinking off twice that easy money doesnt really exist on this world.You would just had notice when its already over or when you are already been scammed.On having just your own common sense
would really be just enough but there are people who do make themselves blind despite that they had already had some idea on whats going on and thats because they do
tolerate their greed deep inside.

And one of the most crucial ways not to get scammed easily by scam projects in the market is that one should always read the whitepaper of the project and do a comprehensive research about it. Experienced investors are already aware of this being very important. But I can't say the same thing for most of the newbies in the market. They should be able to teach themselves about this market well. Otherwise we can continue to see so many people getting scammed.
