reason why people fall victims of scammers everyday especially on social media

[Daniel91]

I would add a few more reasons here and these are despair and lack of knowledge and experience with money and finances.
Despair and financial problems can push a normal person into a financial abyss and force him to seek a solution from scammers.
Crypto is a new and unexplored area for most people and that makes it easier to deceive them.
Lately in the media and on social networks there are a lot of stories about people who got rich on the crypto and ordinary people begin to believe that anyone can do it, and then they want to invest in the crypto without thinking about the consequences and possible dangers.
Emotions, greed and despair are not very good allies.

Lack of knowledge about crypto itself is what makes many people deceived by crypto. People tend to be tempted by the lure of huge profits that will be obtained compared to learning crypto itself. that is what is called rash and hasty in acting because they are already tempted by the promised benefits. Why scams keep happening because there are opportunities and people still don't understand about the crypto world. so don't blame crypto and create a bad image of crypto in the community because it's their doing itself but in the name of crypto, so be more careful.

The truth is that many fell to crypto and Bitcoin scams because they lack knowledge. More than anything, they are convinced by these scammers and their offers because they are not aware of what Bitcoin is, its basic dos and don'ts, its market, the movements of its price, and so on. Some may not even be greedy. Take, for example, those who are scammed by somebody who introduces himself/herself to be a staff and offers support assistance. Take, for example, those who are reading how-to guides or watching tutorial videos who were clueless of the wrong details provided.

That is true. If one person does not have sufficient knowledge on crypto, he will be forever prone to scams and even hacks as well. However, in many cases, the person who falls for a scam does so because of the psychological techniques employed by the scammer—and not because of some personal flaw. There are these universal principle of influence that scammers use to persuade people to do certain things. These includes: Reciprocity, Consistency, Social Proof, Liking, Authority and Scarcity.

People fall victim to scammers because of is what they have in mind to do, and what the scammer present to them is what they want to hear. you can only be scammed when the thing you need is present as information. And another thing that makes people to be curious about joining online investment that's manage by scammers is because of greediness and multiplication of assets, finance, like gaining two time's of invested capital at a spot.

Or it maybe that the people they want to believe are telling the truth, when they are not. People got scammed clearly because of their own selfish desires and eventually because of their greed of money. They all want to have the entire return of investment without showing extra efforts to make the investment succeed first. And usually, people fall for scams because they focus on shortcuts to be instantly profitable without doing the hard way.

Not always the case you know, the greed for money is not usually what scammers always prey on, although it is majorly what scammers take advantage of, but some people who are not even greedy for money have been swindled of their cash and details for fraudulent purposes. Scammers devise new methods daily and there are various types of scams and cybercrimes currently.

@Rruchi man, you're right but they believe most people is that everybody that is a victim of scammer was victim out of them being selfish or hungry for making more money which is always not the situation because we have some people who are a victim of scammer due to their lack of knowledge and awareness about the scammer strategies. Meanwhile, I am once on that road.

There are so many reasons why people fall victim to scammers on line,one of these reasons is the  despiration one has on a particular course. When one is so despirate about something,they are always ready to do anything possible to get that thing that they need.So they go about searching for it online,and when they see something similar to what they were looking for,they don't ask information or research about that thing they've seen on line,and better still,they don't bother what the outcome will look like,they just pay money,and in return they see that they've been scammed.

The reason why some people fall victim in scammers on the social media is because of the influence portrayed by the scammers. Some of them will be posting that they can earn this amount of money in just 2-3 weeks, but in reality, they are just pyramiding. Wherein you will invest your money to them, invite more members so that the money they are holding will grow and you will profit a percent per invite. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

That's right.
The main reason is that money is very sweet.
Many people want to get money instantly as soon as possible, with greediness, with very high expectations, and worse, without enough knowledge. What they can accept is that other people promise something very legit and high money to offer instantly.
And most people will not care about the risks that may be got or even they don't even care to learn and research about that.
In this case, money will make somebody blind about the logic and they put aside realistic because what they want is instant money to get as soon as possible, as high as possible to be successful as others without paying attention and carefulness that they are probably the victims of scams.
Actually, there have been many notices, warnings, and also experiences about being scammed with this similar scam investment, but what happen in this world is that there are still so many victims, most of them are newbies or even everyone who don't want to learn, don't want to read, and also don't wnat to use the logic.
