The whole tips OP listed can only manifest if the victim is given to greed. Without greed on the part of the victim, fraudsters are as stupid as they come. How can you make someone rich when you aren't even rich yourself? Those who participate in HYIP don't even bother to find out from where the promises they are made of repaid interest will come from. They don't bother to find out these things before indulging the business.

Greed is everything - steer clear of it and your Bitcoin is safe.
