Why people scam

[Bagaji]

There is no perfect answer as to the reason why people scam. However, while some persons scam to fraudulently acquire what does not belong to them. Others are habitual psychics who derive joy in emotionally twisting people to their advantage or for certain benefits. The motive of various scammers differs with the situation. A love scammer for instance uses emotional and psychological tactics to lure their victims perhaps towards defrauding them or to cause them harm.

I think people scam because they think they would earn more money in doing so than having a decent job or they don't have a decent job at all. Nowadays, unemployment rate is not decreasing and in our country the poverty still arises. Since there are those who have already tried scamming feels that they earned more from it continuously do it in able to provide for themselves and their families. Maybe for some it was just small amount of money for each transaction but when we sum it up, it would make a larger income for someone than the income he or she may have on their previous jobs.

Getting a job is not possible for everyone, not everyone has family or [friends] to help them and sometimes they will make the bad situations even worse them. If you've ever really needed money and were very desperate, than you probably know that people would let you starve to death rather than give you $5.

It's weird how people won't toss out just a few dollars to help someone in need, yet they'll spend $10000 or more on their pet that has an average life span of under 5 years.

But then again, if you give the person in need money, they'll keep coming back for it. It's a real crap shoot

As long as you're not sick or old you can always find a job. So, whenever some one ask for money for their food, I don't give them what they want, instead I tell them to find a job since they are still young. You shouldn't support those kind of people because they are just lazy to find a job and work for themselves.

Professional beggars can earn on gullible people a lot of money. This is just one reason why I don't give them money. Another reason is because many of the beggars are alcoholics. You give him the money. He will drink alcohol and kill someone or cripple in a drunken brawl. You will be indirectly responsible for this tragedy. And the third reason is that we do not know why God punished the man when he made him poor. I have no right to intervene in this situation and to mitigate the punishment.

I don't give handouts to people on the streets or elsewhere.

It drives me nuts when people come to bitcointalk, and their first post is to ask for a handout.  Not
even to join a signature campaign, but asking for a donation.  I report those threads immediately.

The US has a huge problem with this, because the government encourages people to not work and
to subsist on government handouts.  It's ridiculous.  Everyone should work if they're able to.  I get
that some people are not, but many more are perfectly capable of doing so but choose not to.

[Gaaara]

Because some people keep asking for more, I was okay with just knowing bitcoin so that is the reason I don't scam but is it enough for them?

One of the reason why rich people don't give attention to other people and give their pet more than enough because humans and animals are much different, we are capable of doing anything we want, rich people are not heartless they are just in fact being realist. If a person wants money they can have as much as they want but it does not come for them you need to seek opportunities to be able to do so.

Scamming someone doesnt require special knowledge or something ordinary ability.Everything starts and finishes at the end od human emotions.Emotions control your decisions but logic affects to them. Scammers always choose second option.

Maybe, they have no other choice or they really want to deceive people so they can get a lot of money without working for it. People scam because a lot of people nowadays easily trust without searching about the background of the people who offered them an extra income because a lot of people nowadays are in need of extra income so they will just try and try until such time that they can invest in a legit company.

[bestluck]

People are simply fixated on material goods and many are eager to get as much money as possible in a dirty way. It is necessary to develop spiritually and not to do a bad job.

That’s the bad thing to hire people and ran away with their money and most probably newbies are the victims of scammers and mostly scammer crimps the user to work for them and they will get high profit as the work is done they fled away without leaving any traces, scammers are the worst persons and all they want to do is to earn money without efforts or on others behalf.

The thing is, there is a relatively higher chance that, at least where I am, you are going to be giving money to someone who is going to spend it on booze, drugs or lottery tickets. It's rare that someone you're talking to actually has to feed themselves and is poor because they legitimately cannot find work or something along those lines. There are also a ton of social nets to make sure that those who are poor have some means of maintaining their lives and having food and a place to stay.

Simple, They just want to get an easy way of earning money. Cheating and stealing are part of our human nature. We do have a devil inside of us and we are fond of taking advantage to those people who we know are vulnerable. Scamming has been around in any type of industry, and we can't contaminate those people as they can easily jump from industry to another. Some people tend to scam due to influence of other people, urgency and etc.

Why would anyone deceive any other person? Like you have already mentioned, they want to snatch money from innocent people. In my opinion, everyone can use his demons but only cowards do such things. It is a sin to hurt someone. Really, there is nothing cool about stealing, anyone can do that. Somebody also tried to scam me once but I figured it out and didn't pay a penny this world is full of robbers.

[Basmic]

We are to blame for this. Scammers are always looking for easy victims. We picture to ourselves the ideals and begin to believe in them lose all sense of reality. At this point we become vulnerable to scams. In the beginning people start using bitcoin because I don't believe more crooks in power. Then they start to want it legalized and I agree to voluntarily give up control of bitcoin in the hands of the same fraudsters. Weird huh?

It's totally their fault. They are poor because of their own mistakes. A healthy person can do n number of jobs but still he being lazy decides to beg / scam . I agree that handicapped people should be supported , they are helpless and without the help of people not all can actually survive.

[yohan09]

I believe scam are talents, but they tend to do the wrong path just get money in the easiest way, They don't know, all their deeds will reflect to their whole character, The worst thing is that they are prone for imprisonment, The time comes they will realize their mistakes.

[TheNextChampion]

Maybe they want easy money without making a huge effort for it. Because if they want to work some works need good background or some work is hard for someone to make it. They choose scamming people because they think it's easy money and a lot of person fall for it if you have a system that is good to be true. Mostly people that being scam is want to have a easy money just like doubler site. I think it's hard to stop them if they don't find a legit job that qualifies them rather than scamming people.

[Nascor]

frauds and scams are markets as well, just like legal markets, these are categorized as "illegal" and as every market, you can always make money out of it. Blockchain offered a great chance for scammers to make money, due, since it's so "focused" on technology. New users who don't understand the basics and had not a lot of experience online are vulnurable targets.

Another thing: like the drug market, so the scam market has very big profit margins (the difference between expenses and profits). Which means that, a scammer is essentially only "spending" time, as they usually don't buy expensive software, so anything beyond the time wasted will be a profit to them.

People cheat because they need money. At present, there are many unemployed. The cost of living is increasing. some people have no job, lazy labor. This is the cause of many fraudsters

Yes indeed but we are different people that have our own attitudes and beliefs. I think people scam other people because thats how they earn their money. They earn it in an illegal way by fooling other people and steal their money. Those people who scam are people who dont have skills to work or have a job thats why they do some illegal things like scamming the money of other people.

Some people scam because of the need of money. They are so desperate to have money even though they knew that what they did is not good and they also knew the consequences if they get caught or reported to the higher ups. Indeed money is the main reason why people do scams.

[asha18]

I think people are too lazy to try and they only want money that comes from them without money. But it is impossible, we need to work to earn money, and we can not help in what Alessa wants us to do. On behalf of the people, when there is no work or income in the field, she suffers from hesitation. People of propaganda and theft Participate in the work.

[Zadicar]

You should change the topic title as why people are so selfish. Base on OP, I don't see any direct point saying "why people scam."

Anyway, the point of view of people who are not donating some money to people who are just begging is that those will become dependant instead of finding a job, a decent one, instead of just opening your hand while sitting in the streets waiting for someone to give them a coin.

Those who deserve to receive donations are those who are facing health issues like cancer but they can't afford it, those who are working hard yet still it is not enough and etc.

Agree, the topic title doesnt reflect on the thing he do said on his own post which this thing signifies on how people are selfish when it comes to money and this is infact the reality and you cant do anything if those people wont really toss out small amounts of money for those people who in need.Which could possible lead up for desperate moves on those people who are on hard situation but does depend because not all people do have the same intent.
