Why are scammers everywhere, it is obvious online

[skarais]

That's kinda of generalisation, and from my experience it's quite the opposite. Sure, some scammers are very intelligent and capable, using different platforms and ready to play long game in order to scam the victims, but quite a lot of them are actually very stupid, often even more than the persons they are trying to scam.

LOL, really get your point. They set trap and often they are easily detected by victims and scam hunter like you. Is it true ? 

Scammer are smart people otherwise they will never succeed in getting victim. But so far I have not been too afraid of scam, but I am only afraid of hack because they can cause great destruction. Scam can be detected early and are easy to spot, but hacking is difficult to predict and anyone can fall victim.

The only thing scammers use to scam is what newbies think about bitcoin. Because most newbies come to the crypto market for the purpose of making quick profits, they are badly influenced by some people. Some Youtubers and some so called influncers present the value of Bitcoin differently to newcomers. As a result, they are more likely to talk about how to get quick rich with Bitcoin than to know about Bitcoin.

Not all newbies get mentors like you which is why they fall prey to such scams. These scams will continue as long as people are falling prey to these scams. Because they spend a lot of money on building these websites, if they did not get their money back, they would not have created these scam websites. So we all need to be vigilant and create a safe place for newcomers without scammers.

If someone (you don't know) approaches and to talk to you about investing crypto or anything alike surely you don't trust nor you risk money with this person. But how online get into magic? Because scammers can use known names just to hide their scamming intentions. It is really sad but that is the reality in today's life. Most people got reck, encourage to risk a huge amount of money when hearing about "doubling your money, invest now get rich later" and etc.

Online can easily manipulate our minds especially when you have money and planning to invest. We don't talk to strangers, yeah, we are but someone got you talking about these Ponzi schemes( as I've mentioned above), it turns you out and boom.

Some weeks ago, I told two of my friends about bitcoin and how to use it, I tried to devote my time for them. The two of them like bitcoin  they were interested. I opened electrum wallet for them. After some weeks, it was even yesterday, a friend of mine contacted me using Whatsapp, he told me what he saw online, that it is even possible to double bitcoin online. He wanted to double his bitcoin, I told him that it can be a scam that he should send me the link.

Code:

https://bitcoindoubler.tech/

The website want people to deposit a minimum amount of 0.002 bitcoin to a maximum of 10 bitcoin, that in 10 hours the bitcoin will double. I told him immediately not to do it that it is a scam. I would have blamed myself for telling my friends about bitcoin, but I was happy because he did not send his bitcoin but told me about it before doing anything. But why are scam very obvious now, some are even having domain and nothing done about it. Is it because cryptocurrencies are not regulated the way it suppose to be or this is just how the world is?.

Good thing that your friend asked you first before trying to send his money to a strange website. It's true that you can possibly double your profit by just investing in bitcoin for a long term. But there is no such thing that you can easily double your money in bitcoins by just sending them a money because it is just like a Ponzi scheme that you could earn money by just inviting, which is obviously a scam.

Well, if people fall on scams like this one they deserve to be scammed.
It's easy, there is no easy and fast money, I know that everyone want that, but cmon...
But yeah, there will be always scammers, if you are lazy, doesn't wanna success as normal persone youl becam a criminal and stealing money of other people because you have no any skill, you don't wan't learn new things, and you became scammer because this is only one thing which you can do... but for all scammers I just have to say that karma is a b-tch

Was got scammed just once for few bucks and instead of just block me, scammer was say few bad words, but I was pay with paypal so just contact my credit card company and chargeback money, contact scammer from fake profile after month and start chat, he try same scam and then I told him all what he deserve...

Well, this kind of attack has been there from the start... is one of the oldest ways that people get scammed. And it's amazing to see it still working nowadays.

We all get scammed in some point, and I think that's why the hackers keep pushing with this kind of scam. Some lessons are cheap and the other ones don't.

Keep reporting them is the right way to keep the community safe.

When you told that your friend or when telling any of your friends next time about bitcoin, tell them that just as it is with many online things/program/project and so on there are chances/possibility/potentiality of Scam, persuade them to be highly careful and less greedy.

With FORSAGE, supersage, loin share and so on and the many schemes it's sad and scary for -newbies- .

Thats the target of the scammers, the newbies, they tend to say some bubbly things that can persuade the newbies easily tho it will be an obvious scam for people who are involve in crypto for a long time but yeah some newbies still get scammed for it becaise of the explanation given to them by the scammers which isnt real, just like with forsage, they thought theyre earning but in rrality theyre just giving money to the scammers so a good research is definitely a need for beginners.

That's the reason we have to observe platform's before investing our btc,some of the btc investment groups are full of scam,before you see a legit site for investment is very difficult, scammers are desperate to achiever our bitcoins and move away,the only way we can overcome them is by observe before investing.I will advice to keep our coin's in our wallet when ever btc rise "we sell" instead of giving our btc to scammers.

Just know that there's always someone out there ready to steal your coins from you. It's left for you to either protect your funds by staying inform and updating your security measures or risk lossing them to others who knows the value of what you currently hold. The scams this days aren't new so with just few click away you can save yourself from falling victim. Always make it a priority to research before investing your money into any new adventure you find online.

Be very skeptical about anything you find online especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies because 99.9% of the time they're usual false at whatever they promise. Instead of trusting your funds to stranger invest that fund or some percentage of it into enlightening yourself. The scams are everywhere but so are the warnings, don't let ignorance lead you into losing your funds.

Many scammers are not that smart, its the people that get scammed that are stupid.

Scammers can be avoided and prevented based on your awareness to it.

It is not that hard to determine those fake scams and fake giveaways that are existing in the internet. When you are knowledgeable about it, you will not become their victim and prevent losses in your asset. Like what most of the people say, "never trust easily" especially to those schemes that are obviously suspicious and sketchy.

Scammers are everywhere and they multiply day by day as long as money is involve scammers wont stop, scamming is the only work they know because its easy to get money.

scammers are not those who can't find another job but they see opportunities where there is still much they can trap.
