Like any get-rich-quick scheme, bitcoin scams thrive on the gullibility of its victims. Just because it's a digital currency doesn't mean you can acquire wealth quickly. Here are some more warnings from Zerofox:
1. Don’t trust anyone claiming they will give you or help you mine bitcoin. Again, cryptocurrency is valued by cybercriminals for a reason, and nefarious behavior related to bitcoin runs rampant on social media and digital channels.
2. Avoid URLs associated with social media profiles advertising too-good-to-be-true bitcoin offers.
3. Be vigilant when engaging with the social media accounts of legitimate bitcoin brokers or trading platforms, as they are frequently victims of convincing impersonations.
4. Never engage in any financial transaction, bitcoin or otherwise, via direct message on social networks.

    Good points. I would add:

    5. For p2p transactions ALWAYS use an escrow.
    6. Don't trust sites promising high return on btc investment. Those are all scams (hold your bitcoin tightly, that your best investment!).

    Never buy anything whether a program, digital goods or real products using Bitcoin without first researching the company and the people you are dealing with. Buy only from reputable online companies.

    yes thanks for your advice, holding a lot of bitcoin is also a good thing to get profits and also a positive way in the future by waiting for changes in bitcoin prices to increase.
