In this section, we will be revealing how a scammer makes you part with your hard-earned fiat money. You must always do your research and avoid scams if there are any hints of a scam then we would advise you to avoid investing.

1. Build a free website to make your crypto look legit
2. Make some claims about charity and various donations

4. Even add some FAQ’S to make the scam pop
5. Create a Telegram, Twitter and Facebook channel

8. Hide the Whois (make your domain/URL anonymous)
9. Setup hosting add content to make the site look good because this is where most investors make the decision!

It’s a very clever scam, the scammers are getting the users who are getting scammed to promote and vote for their demise on their social networks. This then creates a snowball effect, so once people start promoting the scammer’s token more and more, people will start to buy thinking it’s the next moon shot.

Once the scammer thinks it has reached max levels they will take out 3%, 7% or 8% so the coin tanks, then advise its followers to “buy the dip”. Once the coin has recovered from the dip, they just simply withdraw the next percentage of coins in their wallet and rinse and repeat or until the token is at junk levels and no one will notice when they take out all their ETH/BNB liquidity!

How To Avoid Crypto Scams?

This is the million–dollar question! How do you know if a token is a scam or the owner will remove coins because they are greedy? There are only a few ways to confirm the token you are thinking to invest in is not a scam. But remember there is “ALWAYS” a chance that the coin/token could become a scam. Listed below are the many ways you can confirm crypto was created by a scammer with bad intentions.

1. Check the whois of the website or blog promoting the crypto
2. If it’s anonymous then they do not want to be named
3. How long has the domain name been registered?
4. How old are the social profiles and how popular are they?
5. Another important step is to check where the website/blog is hosted
6. If the owner claims to be from the US and the hosting is a faraway country & visa versa, then there is cause for concern
7. Check the percentage of coin volumes within the holder’s wallet
8. How many whales are waiting to drop their bag?
9. There should be over 60% held in a locked/liquidity wallet
10. If there are many holders with a huge percentage of the coin then that is even more cause for concern

After checking these details and you can confirm any of the points above then avoid this crypto like the plague. This is because you will likely see your funds disappear overnight, yes you might get some pumps but the owner of the token contract will always take their cut while encouraging the investors to shill and vote for their shot to the moon!

The Worst Crypto Types For Scams

By far the worst culprit for scams are tokens, especially BEP20 & ERC20 types. These run off the back of the Ethereum blockchain and Binance blockchains. In the last 6-months these pump and dump, plus honey-pot scams are becoming the norm. Another issue is Ethereum and Binance have done zero to reduce these scams, but that is probably to do with all liquidity and fees are paid in BNB or Ethereum depending on the blockchain the token is run on.

Conclusion Of Crypto Scams

If it seems too good to be true then it most certainly is! Be sure to DYOR – do your “OWN” research and always double-check them twice before making a decision. Do not be persuaded by a tweet, nice doggy name or a moon type crypto, they are all built off the backs of more popular dog and moon altcoins.

If the name sounds like another coin with a baby or safe in the name then you should avoid it because your finances will be at risk. There are so many horror stories around the world with investors losing their homes, cars and livelihoods to crypto scams. If you do not have the money to lose then avoid new tokens or the latest craze for the millionaires who have money to burn.
