Hello everybody .
 Tell us, how do you recognize the scammers? I've met a lot of fraudulent projects and I can say that I learned by bitter experience, but every day it's more difficult to distinguish a good project from scammers.We do not want to lose our money and do not waste time in the empty, participating in the companies bounty.

I learned about crypto currency in early 2017 on TV. Then, I could not imagine that my bought tokens would soar.
  Last year there were a lot of scammers, but this year is even worse. Now every second project is fraudulent. Now you should not participate in the sale of tokens. The probability of a scam is high.

I am sure there have been a plethora of identical or at least similar questions than this one before, so sometimes its useful to reach for a search button. But yes, you cant never be completely certain about the project and its legitimacy, just try to do as much research as you are able to do and combine the findings with findings of other potential investors. If there are major red flags, avoid the project at all costs.

I think this is the risk of crypto, try to find projects that are being pursued, honest people.

Hard to defined real scam at the first stage of the project because honestly, sometimes they are more looking good as real project than the legit one. Very hard. However, you can defined them before the end. This is not always but sometimes. Be more careful and watchful.

if you are not smart to research it, maybe you can only participate in gifts that are managed by managers who have a good and trusted reputation. so you don't waste time researching, but all that remains at risk, whether a scam or failing to reach the target.

I always try to find feedbacks about the service on different forums.
I don't believe reviews that are placed under the offer as people learned the fact that they can build a good image of their product placing good reviews themselves and deleting all the negative ones.
But even that will not fully work as there's always a chance to get into trap.

In addition, these are some of the ways to protect yourself and others from scammers:

1.Proper search: embarking on any project required a very thorough search from various site, eg social media, various forums, and also news or even contacting friends and colleagues.

2.Keep your personal details secure. Put a lock on your mailbox and other important documents before throwing them out. Keep your passwords and pin numbers in a safe place. Be very careful about how much personal information you share on social media sites. Scammers can use your information and pictures to create a fake identity or to target you with a scam.

Its difficult distinguishing bad and good projects but you can watch out for sme scamming signs like the profitability loooking too good to be real, irresistible offers, lack of verifiable physical presence and ofice structure amongst others

[Marryan]

You shouldn't believe the next man first of all.
Then you should attentively check the person or service you've found. Try to ask for proves in order to protect yourself.
There's so much scam around us that it's really hard to believe anyone.
