And how to they scam ? (Apart from the obvious- phishing.)

I read things like "multiply your bitcoin" and "free bitcoin". Sounds very dodgy, I stayed away. I'm surprised they can convince people to get involved.

There are many types of scams present in the online market so remember one golden rule while investing. If you see any program is offering your profit percentage for investing your bitcoin with them, simply stay away, because they are called ponzi. They will give you interest for first few days, and then they will just disappear. Ponzi is the most common type of scams in online industry.

Also if any program tells you to double your bitcoin in few days, avoid them more because here you win't receive a single dime back. They will run away with your entire invested amount.

The newest one on this forum and social media now is: A link will be post and a word like get 0.1bt free from cloud mining and when you click the link you will see the site searching until you will see 0.1b send to your wallet, send 0.019bt for confirmation fees to a wallet display if not your wallet will never be created. Please be careful.

-Cloud mining, excluding Hashnest, Genesis Mining (shady) and Hashflare.

-"UK registered" companies

-Online wallets which claim to provide anonymity

-Phishing for blockchain.info wallet users (and sometimes other users)

-Any Bitcoin mining software which is supposed to be for your PC

There are many more and the obvious Ponzi scams, but I'm basing this on the assumption that you're not an idiot.

Bitcoin doublers.
Insane dayly interest ponzi
Some (or in some opinion most) ICO
The more recent pump groups

The "too good to be true it probably is"method is always one to keep in hand.

the most common scams are places where you are promised returns that are not achievable using proper business practices
would you trust a bank that offers you 1250% annual profit?
why do you fall for 4% daily income FOREVER or similar scam ads
ponzi,doublers,most of the cloud mining,some of the ICO-these are the most common scams in BTC and altcoin realm
if you are not sure,always google "companyname scam?" or check http://badbitcoin.org/ to see if your favorite 100500% daily site is already listed there

The common scam attempts through bitcoin is the investment schemes with doubling and tripling of bitcoin instantly in 24 hours time or within a very short time period. Others which includes the chain schemes which function through referrals and goes of in a short scamming the participants.

There are lots of it and if im making a list then it would really takes time.I do only mention the common things, Bitcoin HYIP and doubler Ponzi scam sites which do promise too good to be true returns on a short period of time and these things are definitely scam so stay away and also to Ponzi scheme cloud mining sites,there are still lots of people do fall on this thing because they are blinded by those site claiming that they do cloud mining even if they arent.

Probably. high-yield investment program (HYIP). Its proven and tested. A lot of victims of this scams are mostly bitcoin noobs. Example of these are: doublers, cloudmining(not all), and even faucets. Don't trust them. Even if you searched good hyip on google. No guarantee that they are legit and paying. Better trade your btc for altcoins.

HYIP sites scam when they have collected decent amount they are wanting for. They used to kill or either make pay out pending for late investors. They keep promising and you can observed it. Thus, always keep away from something which you think is not true to make happen, always check how it works.

Bitcoin doublers and 20% interest daily are a sure ponzi and scam programs,they are good in manipulating their payment their is not backup business and they only rely from funds coming,and when it stopped it's over for them,so better stay away from this kind of programs or scheme.
