Don't provide your personal information like ID and password as this is the evidence of scam in most cases. You should be careful sharing such details

When the scammer tells you...

1) to give him your wallet id and password

2) to use a blockchain wallet he created for you.

3) to fund your wallet after you changed your password

4) that you will get 5000% back in a day (high percentual return in a short period of time)


When you are already in cryptocurrency ecosystem for sometime, this kind of strategy is not effective because these are already common sense and the moment they do this, it is already considered scam and they wouldn't be able to get a single info from the person. The higher risk of being scammed are the newbies who gets greedy when they see something like this because they are not aware of it yet. Well, I have been scammed by HYIP before so I can relate to those who were scammed and if you are one of those who were victims of such scams then do your best to help others avoid it.

Thanks bro for the tips in different aspects scammer are always in there you have to be careful in every move you take always set to your mind Think before you click.

Scammers are every where and just waiting for this chance to attack. In social media platforms perhaps, someone would message you about crypto that you don't know so it is already a red flag especially if they mention about "cryptocurrency mining".

I thik that you should protect your financial information and you should learn more about the person and the company which wants to find out what is better and which is a scam or not
the instance of impersonation have gotten so bad, that many crypto visionaries have added language to their profiles setting ( not giving away BTC/ETH) as if it was their middle  names. But although it could seem counterintuitive, as these fraudsters merely copy and paste the name and image onto their scam accounts, that language too has carried over. Generally these accounts comment their giveway images under a post from a real person they've trying to impersonate, hoping to prey of users that aren't looking closely at the handles, which at times are only one letter off from the originals.

Well said because they also develop their knowledge, skills and make new research every day. However, the cryptocurrency scammer usually use the investment ROI, trading tips/analysis software and airdrop method( where by they later ask their participants to send some ETH before they could receive their token). Besides, a lot of people have scammed on twitter and telegram through the mentioned method.
Beware.

Any more??? let's discuss!!!!

P.S. by the way, I have found a very good platform called gebepay and I have used it a couple of times and found it pretty useful and safe to buy products or services with my ETH, anyway have a look!


It is a fault that the person who will do this is already using the computer Smiley These methods are traditional for scammers. It is very difficult to be scammed even for a person who has little knowledge about scammers. The most important thing to do for not being scammed is process priority. When trading if the trader we trade with has no reputation, let him do the first action. Always make the second action.

These are obvious signs but I still want to say them here as a reminder because I still see people getting scammed. When the person you're dealing with doesn't agree to use escrow. Also the threads on the digital goods section that gets locked by the author after its bumped.

If you don’t have bad expiriance with some scamprojects or guys, then you can’t understand what’s the problem and how they can stole your money.
You don't need to get scammed just to understand how they can scam you. Following other's advice can help as most scammers use the same trick in scamming because there's always new people coming in to crypto.

BTC price road to $80k
I experienced the number 2 from a facebook group and telling me that I can mine 1 bitcoin in a few days and then he will make a blockchain wallet for me and connect to the miner that I don't know if he owns it or not, but I know it is scam that is why I am trying to dig up how those scammers doing so I found out that they wanted to make a blockchain account to me then connect to the miner, but they said I should deposit a bitcoin in the blockchain account in order to mine bitcoin, that is totally scam.

The number 4, I experienced this, but this time I invested and scammed that I thought it can give me a passive income because I withdraw my earnings for the first time from investment site that is why I encouraged to trust their service and put all my money in the investment site same happened in cloud mining, but in the end they run and scammed all my investment.

There are many traits how people scam by scammers just make sure that you always ask the site for many people before you invest. This forum is a good place where you can ask if the site is scam or not before you decide to invest.

to my mind, the worst thing that you should worry about is when you are asked to provide your personal information like ID and password. Don't do this as it is likely to be a scam

I think that it is like a scam when somebody asks more information that they must because they should ask only the basic information without too personal private details. to my mind, it is like this

Its best to not even step into the horse shit rather than try to get it off your feet. You should do due research before entering anything. If anything promises: 1) Little work/effort 2) Guaranteed results (too good to be true results) its most likely a scam in my books.

These are the traditional methods of scammers and the most common is to request your private key before registering for any project in addition to the phishing links "fake site/wallet URLs."
However, you should not believe any person who promises you that you will get returns regardless of your argument, especially if you are going to pay him.
Also following traditional methods will not help you avoid scam  Read New way to be scammed

in the 4 sections you mentioned has shown unreasonable properties,
1.just a newbie who is willing to give his wallet password
2.the blockchain wallet they create is just a trap
3. by changing the password and financing it in their blockchain it is a stupid act
4. by giving 5000% in a day small children do not believe with iming iming return 5000% in a day
these four events only apply to people who really do not understand

Just only put up on your mind which All things that are good to be true or would promise fast or easy money are definitely just scams.
Even just your own common sense will able to identify out things that somethings wrong but i can say this would vary on how knowledgeable you are enough into things here in crypto because lacking
knowledge will always put you in trouble this is why its ideal to read and read to learn up new things.

Several scam types;
HYIP/PONZI sites
Cloud mining schemes
etc.

When I see no new ( up date ) or confused information I'll try to find true information and if I can't get it, leave it for good. Actually people have different answer about this but recognize scammer is not easy, they always change strategy after fail ( not like us ). Just always try to find valuable information about scammer, protect our asset and pray. I can't suggest anything else but I believe experience will become the best guide.

It smell scammed when admin no longer answer on telegram. They usually go silent and could no longer be found even you message them so many times. At the beginning its hard to identify good project from scam because they are almost same good documents presented. Looking into whitepapers team and roadmaps sometimes won't pinpoint the result of the project.
