Scammers are everywhere and they multiply day by day as long as money is involve scammers wont stop, scamming is the only work they know because its easy to get money.

true, the fraudsters will continue to exist as long as there are who still fall on traps...
scammers are not those who can't find another job but they see opportunities where there is still much they can trap.

Many scammers are not that smart, its the people that get scammed that are stupid.

Scammers can be avoided and prevented based on your awareness to it.

It is not that hard to determine those fake scams and fake giveaways that are existing in the internet. When you are knowledgeable about it, you will not become their victim and prevent losses in your asset. Like what most of the people say, "never trust easily" especially to those schemes that are obviously suspicious and sketchy.

Try to visit the beginners & help thread so that you have a lot of things to read regarding this topic.

Just know that there's always someone out there ready to steal your coins from you. It's left for you to either protect your funds by staying inform and updating your security measures or risk lossing them to others who knows the value of what you currently hold. The scams this days aren't new so with just few click away you can save yourself from falling victim. Always make it a priority to research before investing your money into any new adventure you find online.

Be very skeptical about anything you find online especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies because 99.9% of the time they're usual false at whatever they promise. Instead of trusting your funds to stranger invest that fund or some percentage of it into enlightening yourself. The scams are everywhere but so are the warnings, don't let ignorance lead you into losing your funds.

That's the reason we have to observe platform's before investing our btc,some of the btc investment groups are full of scam,before you see a legit site for investment is very difficult, scammers are desperate to achiever our bitcoins and move away,the only way we can overcome them is by observe before investing.I will advice to keep our coin's in our wallet when ever btc rise "we sell" instead of giving our btc to scammers.

Some weeks ago, I told two of my friends about bitcoin and how to use it, I tried to devote my time for them. The two of them like bitcoin they were interested. I opened electrum wallet for them. After some weeks, it was even yesterday, a friend of mine contacted me using Whatsapp, he told me what he saw online, that it is even possible to double bitcoin online. He wanted to double his bitcoin, I told him that it can be a scam that he should send me the link.

Code:

https://bitcoindoubler.tech/

The website want people to deposit a minimum amount of 0.002 bitcoin to a maximum of 10 bitcoin, that in 10 hours the bitcoin will double. I told him immediately not to do it that it is a scam. I would have blamed myself for telling my friends about bitcoin, but I was happy because he did not send his bitcoin but told me about it before doing anything. But why are scam very obvious now, some are even having domain and nothing done about it. Is it because cryptocurrencies are not regulated the way it suppose to be or this is just how the world is?.

When you told that your friend or when telling any of your friends next time about bitcoin, tell them that just as it is with many online things/program/project and so on there are chances/possibility/potentiality of Scam, persuade them to be highly careful and less greedy.

With FORSAGE, supersage, loin share and so on and the many schemes it's sad and scary for -newbies- .

Thats the target of the scammers, the newbies, they tend to say some bubbly things that can persuade the newbies easily tho it will be an obvious scam for people who are involve in crypto for a long time but yeah some newbies still get scammed for it becaise of the explanation given to them by the scammers which isnt real, just like with forsage, they thought theyre earning but in rrality theyre just giving money to the scammers so a good research is definitely a need for beginners.

Well, this kind of attack has been there from the start... is one of the oldest ways that people get scammed. And it's amazing to see it still working nowadays.

We all get scammed in some point, and I think that's why the hackers keep pushing with this kind of scam. Some lessons are cheap and the other ones don't.

Keep reporting them is the right way to keep the community safe.

Well, if people fall on scams like this one they deserve to be scammed.
It's easy, there is no easy and fast money, I know that everyone want that, but cmon...
But yeah, there will be always scammers, if you are lazy, doesn't wanna success as normal persone youl becam a criminal and stealing money of other people because you have no any skill, you don't wan't learn new things, and you became scammer because this is only one thing which you can do... but for all scammers I just have to say that karma is a b-tch

Was got scammed just once for few bucks and instead of just block me, scammer was say few bad words, but I was pay with paypal so just contact my credit card company and chargeback money, contact scammer from fake profile after month and start chat, he try same scam and then I told him all what he deserve...

Good thing that your friend asked you first before trying to send his money to a strange website. It's true that you can possibly double your profit by just investing in bitcoin for a long term. But there is no such thing that you can easily double your money in bitcoins by just sending them a money because it is just like a Ponzi scheme that you could earn money by just inviting, which is obviously a scam.

If someone (you don't know) approaches and to talk to you about investing crypto or anything alike surely you don't trust nor you risk money with this person. But how online get into magic? Because scammers can use known names just to hide their scamming intentions. It is really sad but that is the reality in today's life. Most people got reck, encourage to risk a huge amount of money when hearing about "doubling your money, invest now get rich later" and etc.

Online can easily manipulate our minds especially when you have money and planning to invest. We don't talk to strangers, yeah, we are but someone got you talking about these Ponzi schemes( as I've mentioned above), it turns you out and boom.

The only thing scammers use to scam is what newbies think about bitcoin. Because most newbies come to the crypto market for the purpose of making quick profits, they are badly influenced by some people. Some Youtubers and some so called influncers present the value of Bitcoin differently to newcomers. As a result, they are more likely to talk about how to get quick rich with Bitcoin than to know about Bitcoin.

Not all newbies get mentors like you which is why they fall prey to such scams. These scams will continue as long as people are falling prey to these scams. Because they spend a lot of money on building these websites, if they did not get their money back, they would not have created these scam websites. So we all need to be vigilant and create a safe place for newcomers without scammers.

That's kinda of generalisation, and from my experience it's quite the opposite. Sure, some scammers are very intelligent and capable, using different platforms and ready to play long game in order to scam the victims, but quite a lot of them are actually very stupid, often even more than the persons they are trying to scam.

LOL, really get your point. They set trap and often they are easily detected by victims and scam hunter like you. Is it true ? Cheesy

Scammer are smart people otherwise they will never succeed in getting victim. But so far I have not been too afraid of scam, but I am only afraid of hack because they can cause great destruction. Scam can be detected early and are easy to spot, but hacking is difficult to predict and anyone can fall victim.

I've been contacted by them on the daily basis via Telegram that is known as a scammers paradise, and a lot of them are so stupid that I feel like I could do the opposite and scam them, if I really try and put some effort into it. A lot of them are using the most rudimentary scamming techniques which require no skill, but they rely on law of large numbers, where they think that if they try some specific scam on enough people , sooner or later someone will fall for it.

Actually, those are the people (your friend) who are searching by the scammers. And scammers always do this even it would be regulated. And that is happening in this earth. They always find a new technique to do a scam. So I think regulation will not stop them completely. but may help to lessen the scams.

Scammers are intelligent, they are not just a scammer, they are thinking about how they will fool people using different platforms. They know that there are a lot of internet user who are circulation in many platforms. They see that social media is the best way on how they will make money with it. There are a lot of ignorant user in social medias so that it is the best platform that they are effective for them in making money.

I became a victim of a scam website before, they offer to double my money for only 1 day so as a beginner of this crypto world, I don't have any ideas about the scam and I cannot say if this is legit or real so I tried to invest 0.001BTC then 1 day had passed, I still don't receive my money and the interest but I still trust the website and I had waited for almost 5 days before I realized to myself that it is a fake website. I am disappointed with that but I just considered it as my lesson as a beginner in the crypto world. I learned that there is no legit investment website that will double your money for only a few days.

I won't invest anymore in this kind of website, maybe as a beginner, this is pretty much normal because we don't have enough knowledge about these things and we can easily trust people or things when they offer goods things from us, like making double our money. This is a really good offer but it is really impossible to happen. I am still new from the crypto world and I know that there are still many things that I can experience, better to gain knowledge first before trying or doing anything.

Scamming everywhere, people get lost their money...a lot of these things to be heard and read online. This is no wonder why once we approach someone and told about Bitcoin investment, they are directly saying it was a scam. How these things can be changes and should make people to fully trust Bitcoin if the situation will have no change.

Doubling your money for just a few hours doing nothing is obviously a scam tactic but I felt amazed because someone still becomes a victim to this. How desperate they are when talking about easy money and instant returns, they make themselves to be fooled to a thing that is really impossible to happen.

Once you enter an online world, there will be always scammers and also hackers. these two cannot be separated from the business. Moreover, about this crypto world, we can find so many scammers everywhere. It can be on the youtube channel, social media of Twitter, Facebook, telegram, and many others. you can also find them on this forum as what we can see from the scam projects. Additionally, you may also find the scammers on the websites, hyperlinks, and many more.

Mostly, the victims are:
1. newbies who do not know exactly about the crypto world
2. Those who are greedy of the high profits and not going to analyze them because they are already really interests on the rewards that scammers offer
3. Those who want to earn money in easy ways
4. Those who do not have willing to check and crosscheck every single information or promotion.
5. Those who can believe so easily on others,

That is why tell your friends that not to be greedy and must be careful in this crypto world in order to avoid scam and hackers.

There is nothing you should blame yourself about, at least you have taught them how to send and receive bitcoin as the main purpose and teachings to noonbs, scammers are everywhere so there is no way to stop them. Give yourself a time you introduce them into the forum especially into scam accusations board to be conversant with the skills scammers take to lure people into scam, those skills are money doubling scheme, investment platform offering higher percentage daily, referral/affiliate programs requesting to deposits first before withdrawing, e.t.c. These are what you could teach your friends so they could be strong enough to detect scammer's games.

I think this kind of scam have happened a lot in the crypto space. As a beginner, I am sure your friend will be interested in trying it out of curiosity. When he does, thats where the experience will emerge and it will be a lesson that the crypto world is filled with scammer with all kinds of trick.
But luckily your friend wanted to ask before doing that and he failed to fall into the conman trap. This will be an important lesson for everyone because without being careful, everyone is potentially exposed to fraud.

Is it because cryptocurrencies are not regulated the way it suppose to be or this is just how the world is?.

it is just how the world is. also, it is not about regulation. FIAT is regulated but you can still see tons of scam relating to it. one of the reasons why scams in cryptocurrency are rampant is because it has value just like FIAT and even if bitcoin or cryptocurrency is regulated as long as it has value scam relating to it will continue to show up.
