OP, your title is a bit misleading. I rushed in here thinking I was going to read about the different types of scam only to get "Guides to avoiding different bitcoin scams"
Maybe you should consider changing the title to a more fitting one

There are so man bitcoin/cryptocurrency scams that one can't even exhaust all of them. The most recent ones are.
- Fake wallets and exchanges that can steal your coins
- Advanced malware in form of apps and browser extensions that can steal your login detail or private keys.
-  FAKE bitcoin forks meant to steal one's coins etc

Just add:
- Be careful when entering the private key, because many phishing sites are similar.
- Don't download content from untrusted sites.
- Be careful when using new exchanges.
- Be careful with hype sites that lure money fast.

Remember, protecting is always your best asset.
