Why people scam

[carlerha]

When people do not have jobs and they can not earn money and in the lust and need of money people try various immoral ways to earn money to satisfy their needs. One of the methods that people try is to scam and fool people who are a bit dumb or maybe the scammer is smarter to earn money. IF you are smart and manipulate people you may easily scam people and take theri money.. Overall it comes to conclusion that sometimes it becomes a need or it is lust that causes people to scam other people.

I think different people have different reason to become scammer, For example some people start scamming as they do not have any proper job to earn money, and when they feel the intense need of money so they do not have any other source of earn money except to scam people, secondly some people become scammer because of their environment, their companies also have great effect of their mind and so they start scamming, some people do scammer because some other people compel them to do so. Therefore we can say that different people have different reason to scam other people.

My two cents...  I think scamming is art of seduction misused. Remember scamming is a art and science in itself. Considering OP's point that people would rather let someone starve to death than helping needy. The scammer manipulates very same people to give their money for easy money in return.  Committing a crime when someone is in dire need of money like family member is in life or death situation is different scenario. However when person  aspires lavish life without working honestly about it then that person starts scamming other people.
Remember scamming people is to spot the weakness of people, taking advantages of weakness of other people. All this takes a showmanship, confidence, ability to remain steady in the event of someone trying to call your bluff.

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

That's not exactly the reason for why people scam is that their minds are filled up with greediness and selfishness by thinking that they will be happy for ever and stuff. Scams are like plastic bags, they are every where and no matter what you cannot eliminate it from the human world. People dont want other people to be happy which gives them the idea to scam in the first place. And crypto currency gives them a huge advantage to scam and that's one of the main reasons why the number of scammers are increasing by the day.

I agree with you. Most of the people betray with the people because it is their nature. They want an easy way of making more and more money in a short time. Only to make money and to save their time while using innocent people for their work is often use by characterless people. They think that they have done a great job to flirt with the people but actually they are doing the wrong thing. These people do not have any respect in society.

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.

For some people deceiving someone is an art but this is crime as soon as scammer come across you immediately report him and his activities to cybercrime branch so that no one will become his victim, and scammers put that people in their rings who are in greed to earn money in short time and as the work is done they simply fled away with their money.

[Fireblade]

I do not know what is the reason why people commit fraud, if those who commit fraud are an organization, maybe they do not have enough funds to start their project, or they feel they deserve the money because they have run their project, even though their project has failed

Everywhere it is normally happening that non professional and inexperience are in search of unfair means. May be due to non affordable circumstances respect to buying bitcoin by their own people are going towards scam for earning but if we remember a statement that slow in steady win the race so we may overcome on our scam activities and can move with bitcoin for a long time. Basically people are unaware of bitcoin future worth that’s why they just earn through scam and spend it immediately. Geniuses are not to spend at any cost and mostly they are involved in bitcoin trading. Traders are not part of scam because they believe on bitcoin future worth, while scammer treat bitcoin for the time being earning. 

[blackmagician]

Its because they have no money to buy thier needs, some are desperate to scam other people cause the value of bitcoin keeps increasing and bitcoin is the only to change thier life.  But scamming people is not a good way, they will pay for what they do.

I don't See Any Connection of The Question To The Topic.
First, The Topic Is Why People Scam?.
Second, The Question Talks About Selfishness.

But, I will Answer On The Subject.
People Are Scam, Because They Are Really In Need, Or In other Term They Are Greedy.
If People Will Discern Scam People Then There Will no Scammed No More.
Basically, They Are Scam Because in The Reality People are not Contented on What They Have.

There's nothing wrong in helping rather it is the best thing we can contribute to the world, to help each other, even you are not related with each other, even it is a stranger. It is not wrong to help, but one thing is wrong when that person you are helping os doing nothing to help his self. You as a human must help your self, maybe you need someones help but do not depend on it, cause not all the time there is someone that will help you always. Make a way to get up, and make a way to achieve something where you will be the one to give help to the people who helped you and help others too the way people helped you when you are down.It is just a give and take process. Not all the time you'll give and give,  learn to take also. And not all the time, you'll just take and take,  you must give also.

Where's the scamming on this? I haven't found people are scamming just for their starving stomach. Don't find it weird if people are not willing to give out $5 to a stranger. We all have our own source of income and though others won't be generous enough you have to understand them and why the hell will they give you $5 just for nothing if you have the capacity to make money or you are able to work?

This is survival, and in this all means are good, although they are so merciless. But even here it is necessary to have a human factor and understand who can be deceived and who should be pitied, but not everyone understands this in the veil of big money.

[Noesly]

Why people scam,for example in my own country in Philippines, hundred thousands Filipino's are unemployed,and often harbor poverty in despair until they find a way to be seen as illegal,like an scam,until they get addicted, so that many people why scam.

[KEPLER99]

Basically, scamming is the easiest to make money due to the reasons that newbies compared to average or experienced person/individual population combined is much greater in almost any field. perfect example is here in bitcoin field, we know that the population of newbies are much greater than full members above. Thus, making this a big opportunity to scam more and easier. We also could not blame them of having a job instead of scamming, maybe there is a reason, we could see that scamming is way much easier than working, we also can see the wide range of ways to do so, etc,.

Scamming is just like hobby and deceiving other people for sake of own profit is not good at all and cyber security should take serious action about the fake agents who promise people to work for them to result god money but when job is done they simply fly away with all the money, so beware of such kind of scammers otherwise next victim will be you.

[calandra78]

I think there are some people who did the scam because they don't want to earn money the hard way or by working just want to be able to instant only. the possibility of them doing so because it could boost the economy which is less likely to get a job or it could just be a hobby of those scam developed by all means to earn money by twiddle malasan in fact it could be just a scam occur due to chance upon a person's negligence.

The reason behind this is very much obvious and that is none other than that those people want to make money through illegal ways. That’s why they try such kind of ways in order to take away your money. You need to be very much careful while dealing with anyone because you never know whom you are dealing with. So keep your eyes open.

[winspiral]

People scam because it is easy to scam.
People scam because people prefer scam sites than honest sites making real economic income.
And if honest webmasters try to run a honest site...they are redtrusted because scammers do not like honest sites.
And above all:
People prefer the dream than the reality.

[prtty2gal2]

When people have their own income especially bitcoin, it's make a new opportunity for people to earn income but with different currency.
It's reasonable if they become stingy since bitcoin is not like ordinary investation yet currency. For some people will do anything for bitcoin especially when bitcoin value almost reach $ 5000 this year

How will someone ever feel they deserve the money just because they have run the project and scam because of that? They usually do not have any project in mind and their initial reason has always been to scam all along and then end up giving gullible people that will fall for it some mouth watering offers.

If such a person or company can be making a huge amount of money to give you certain percentage, do you think they will even be out looking for who to invest with them? It is not realistic.

[defc0de]

well obviously they need money and they dont have a job, so they resort to scamming others lol.

[Bohxz M4p4gm4h4l25]

The answer is, the status of thier living. Cause if you are born rich you will not have any problem on money,  but the sad part for those less fortunate they will do all the things just to earn money even they will go in prison whenever they caught.

Yes thats true, but giving the fact that they can do scams in a system which involves gadgets why they dont try to use it for a better job? Ironically speaking because they want an instant source of money they already leaned on the fact that if they scams they can have others people without even exerting a drop of sweat , through this they can be successful didnt they know that it limits the capability for them to learned more as well as to discover where they can be profitable,

I lost all my money these days for a scammer
