some ways to avoid fraud
-Never give out your personal information to anyone you meet online.
-Research and conduct a proper background check on every investment opportunity thoroughly before you invest.
-Double checking on website links to be sure its the right ones and avoid clicking on links from unexpected social media messages or emails.
-only invest in things you understand.
-Ignore people who come out from nowhere asking you to invest and join a platform you don't know about.
-Ask questions before you act.
Another factor is that most investment opportunities tries to mimic genuine projects. Some might even have to deal so patiently with their clients until they fall as preys. I resolved in treating every new project as a potential scam project even after all the research and question asking once my profit is ripe i exit and move on. Most projects are better treated as ponzi if it must be worth risking my funds on.
