Generally speaking, the best weapons in a fight against Bitcoin scams, Ponzi schemes, and other kinds of crypto fraud are common sense, careful handling of important data, and our knowledge.
But what exactly helps you if you don’t want to become a victim? It’s not a surprise that any investor can suffer. Just use our knowledge in order not to fall in hands of scammers.
How Do Scammers Usually Act?
Today, each of us can receive at least one Bitcoin spam mail and run the risk of falling victim to crypto fraud. There is no guaranteed solution. Scammers mess with our minds as well as know our weaknesses. It’s really easy to get rich! Or is it not? Exactly with this promise scammers lure you into their traps.
So practice your eye and mind — control the information available to you. Is this email sender really who he/she pretends to be? Does my bank really want me to change my password? And do I really get a Lamborghini if I only transfer a small number of bitcoins?
Don’t be a fool. You’re smarter than that. Please just never-never-ever release your personal information just because someone asks you for it. When conducting crypto transactions, make sure that a recipient address is a correct one. Don’t get involved in business with strangers, whether online or privately.
Stay Away From Pyramid & Ponzi Schemes
You should also exercise particular caution with ICOs. Take a close look and do your own research to find out whether a company can really keep its promises. In general, preliminary research on cryptocurrencies that you’re about to invest in can be extremely worthwhile. Perhaps, if you do a specific search, you will come across information that will save you from making a big mistake.
Generations of scammers have led people to lure their good friends and neighbors into pyramid schemes. All these people were promised to get rich. It has never happened before. Therefore, never get involved in a Ponzi scheme. Just don’t. You are harming the people around you if you get them to invest in such Bitcoin scams. If your best friend is talking about these schemes, do whatever you can to keep him from further losses.
That’s Why Regulations Are Important
Many Bitcoin scams are only possible because cryptocurrencies are still not subject to official regulations in many countries. That’s why many investors and experts have been looking at these regulations for a long time. The intervention of authorities could strengthen and regenerate investor confidence in the medium term. Anyway, it’s best to stick to tested forms of investment and avoid everything that sounds too good to be true.
