Very interesting publication, since with the boom of cryptocurrencies the boom in scams also comes together, another factor to take into account is the ICOs that tend to become fashionable and end up being scams, resulting in coins that are not worth nor a tenth of what one invests.

I face telegram fake investment sites and emails daily last day I again get scamming mails. And I reported the mail address. It's good to stop those scammers who  are hunting newbies. For apps and sites I never visit them ,because I know those are the fake sites for scamming.

I do feel like impostor website and fake emails are what gets people all the time, because you can just copy the code of the website and paste it in yours, therefore creating an identical looking website, and so with emails.

 

One way to prevent this is to have a database of all the original website domains and email domains and check them with the database when we do go into them or eventually decide to purchase, or log in to withdraw some of our balance,

Scammers are everywhere but they really focus on this cryptocurrencies world! especially because of the ignorance of the beginners.. there are many people just join this world without knowledge about how it works well.. so before entering this world you should really be aware and keep in mind that the thefts waiting for your wrong actions to steal your money.. in the past , there were many useful airdrops but these days they are really rare.. for me , i prefer joining only trusted airdrops from trusted exchanges. and read the project of the currency before joining its airdrop! this topic is useful for the beginners and it should make them aware and know how to avoid the scammers..

One risk that you do not mention, for example in mobile applications that do not pay, is that many ask for permissions to access the gallery or the multimedia system that the team has, with the purpose of stealing information, taking photos with the front camera or  even take screenshot of your screen.  Thanks for your advice I just wanted to narrow that down.

Sure mate scamers are very disturbing in the crypto world because they go away with people's hard earned money vai cryptocurrence by using different means and mostly newbie are the ones falling much in their traps because they luck enough knowledge on this,but I believe this forum with more crypto information made available,many newbies will get served from these cruel human beings and learn their tactics through posts like these ..thanks.

This is an excellent list of scams that take place in the crypto world. I have noticed that the number of third party applications that pose as the original application is increasing exponentially with time and the reason that they do this is to obtain your website log in details such as your username and password. In doing so, they are able to withdraw your funds to their account. 

 

Another scam that i think is worth noting is the fact that there ae many websites with exorbitant interest rates that claim to double your investment in a few weeks. These are clear scams and should be avoided at all costs. 

[ramonn22 731]

Imposter Website:- This is a scamming system in which a website is created to resemble an original existing website and anyone who visit the exchanger might likely lose there funds, so take note of this because there will be no one to compensate you if you lose to scammers.

 This is the most common mistake made by newbie in crypto world as they are not aware about their security and privacy...

Scammers do create accounts with names of celebrities claiming the name and if your follow them later you will begin to see offers including positive replies, these are bots which are automatically assigned to perform such task and don't send any amount of coins they ask you to if not you won't see anything in return, so greedy members should be aware of this Cryptocurrency scams.

[yonkii 3205]

Thanks my friend, it is important for all to remember about all this and lately I'm very suspicious of many emails I'm receiving and some I'm not even opening to see what they have written. There are many scams and some that have extortion in them too. Of course when these extorters are found they will pay dearly for this and they shouln't feel very safe extorting people especially without having nothing at all but bluffing. Some will get really angry and find them.

@Projectcrypto Yes, those are only four of the thousands that exist, one that is fashionable are the private messages on Discord where they tell you that you earned a considerable amount of BTC and that you must register in an exchange to withdraw them by placing the keyword they give you Of course, after you enter your data and register, then they ask you for a small amount of BTC to be able to make the withdrawal, if you send the coins you are already scammed, also a scammer contacts you and tells you that they have some coins stuck in a exchange and that it needs you to help it, that if you do it will give you a part of the withdrawal, it sends you to register on a phishing page where your data will be taken and the wallet where you have your coins can be emptied.
You have to stay safe and experience gives you the opportunity to always be attentive, reading a lot and being informed is the key to minimizing risks.

[mohamedpc1 2213]

[jermaine05 179]

good points to consider to avoid being swindled, for nobody it is a secret the capacity that have these malicious people to deceive and to steal your information, for that reason we must see well the origin of the mails before opening them, and the apps  update  only when the official page thus indicates it 

[muniral4422 185]

All these and more are some of the major ways that scammers get their victims. We need to educate ourselves so as to be free from them. We need to also work with the best security tools available to us like 2 factor authentication.

[Gabriels100 157]

Thank you for this very good post. I had the experience in which they told me that I had earned a lot of bitcoin but that I needed to make a payment before this was with an email from an important company but with a very rare domain in the email address and when I saw it I deleted it immediately, I didn't even open it.
