That is maybe hard maybe easy depend on what project. The easy way is looking roadmap, identify when they announcement match it with roadmap. Also check their social media like Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter.

It does nit depend of the project to determine how easy can scam somebody, but on one's mind and what he/she knows about scammers.

There are many methods such as following the site suffix if it is affiliated with a famous organization or company. Also, there are sites that request referrals heavily and sites that request personal information with wallet codes.

It will be a total newbie to give walle4ts codes to any website, so we go back to the reason for people been scammed easily is lack of ignorance about this field.

How do people usually see if something in this cryptocurrencies world is a scam? Emails, websites, products, icos, etc... what is your way of protecting yourself from these scams?

My way is simple. Never trust what website write in their description. Don't work in New launched platform without knowing their background. Always work in listed and old platforms. 

[pablomarwan 3082]

In the years that I worked in this field, I faced many frauds, and I learned how to protect myself from them. Among them is avoiding any messages that reach me to the mail if it was not I who directed the automation. Also, avoid sites that give you a large percentage of what you invest with them, such as 10 or 12, I know that it is a fraud and there is no site that can obtain such rates without free of charge. The ads also avoid many things that you suspect are suspicious avoid it

If some projects are just a scam, there will be either fake team member's info or the everything false information to cheat the users. Scammers set the rules to cheat users by using the several ways like providing the ponzi schemes, bigger rewards(scam unpaid amounts) etc.

I don't trust new projects lately. If I have unclaimed money I prefer to buy time-tested coins for the future. It is very difficult to understand projects at an early stage at the moment.

Scammers on cryptoworld are easy for being discovered because they are always making the most absurd promises you can imagine. The most incredible of all it's that a lot of people still believe those kind of promises.

[Raqeebzy 6456]

Most of the times, not always, people who get scammed are the greedy or the impatient ones and the gullibles. They want to get rich very quickly, so when the scammers offers, they jump for it in no time and they get scammed.

Now a day there are many ICOs and many IEOs coin is scamming project and looting the people so investing in ICOs or in IEOs see the team of the projects which is very much importants than see a strongness of a project than only invest on it otherwise don't invest in it

It is not necessary to go through all the new projects and examine all of them one by one to see if they are real or fake. This process will take lots of time. The simplest way to avoid scams is to stay away from projects that are notorious for being scams. I don't want to say all ICOs and IEOs are scams but the majority of them have turned out to be fake projects. I avoid these coins because it is not worth trying to find those minorities that are supposed to be legit. Don't be curious to discover new projects. Spend your time with old and reliable projects to guarantee your profit.

For emails, you can identify fraudsters when links from anonymous people are sent to you in the form of emails. As for the codes, it is difficult to distinguish them, as we cannot discover if the project is fraudulent or not, except when the project ends.

The way that i identify scams is that i google the site and look for user reviews on the site. There are many forums where users that have made use of the site will post their honest opinion of the site and whether or not they were able to withdraw and actually earn from the site. In the cases where a site is legit it will be accompanied with some sort of payment proof and in cases where it is not legit it will be marked as a scam. This is very useful in my opinion.

In order to detect cryptocurrency scams, we need to always try to stay away from new sites. These new sites are more scammed. Before joining a site, do a good job of checking the site and then working. Then the cryptocurrency scam will be easier to detect.

The easiest way would be to check in the internet for reviews. There are various websites that publish reviews on sites that are scam or legit. But reviews may not be available for all sites and you can check a platform by researching on its core team. Also if they ask for your personal information and wallet keys then most probably it is a scam.

To identify any scam project you should know about crypto as well. And you have to understand what is market volume and how the project work.

Always research before investing in any projects and research about if the projects are true and legit. Then invest in them. Through this process you will be able to find out the real and legitimate projects and avoid scams. Always check the domain name before logging into any browser.

Stay away to new sites, avoid logging in to unknown site, and better to read articles that might help you to distinguish it.

Projects, counterfeit currencies, and scams can be identified through the large profits they offer and also do not show any identity to the owners of the projects...

[Laboni 755]
