What's the best advice you received here, pass it on to me!.
It has to be "anything that looks too good to be true, is prolly a scam", take that axiom very seriously because i can state categorically that it has helped me avoid falling for scammers in my stay in the crypto network, mind you also that newbies are usually victims of this, so is best to learn it early, newcomers are usually aroused by how they can make "free" money from the network, that is cause many of them have this mentality that the network is a get rich quick scheme, thus they fail to identify what looks too good to be true, so make sure you pay particular attention to that.
Always look into scam accusation section once in a while because the project you are about to promote or invest money on could already be exposed as a scam.
The scam accusation section can help you to identify a scam project or other whatnots, but mind you that it might not be comprehensive enough, so you must take your research to broader areas than just there, mind you also that not every project is a scam even if someone accuses them, what i am saying in totality is "Do Your Own Research".
