Why people scam

[michkima]

everyone need money.. so desprated.. that why they scam peoples.. fast way to earn dirty money.

That is true, there are people that are quite lazy and the only way they know how to earn money is scamming other people for their own hard earned money. Usually those scammed with something like ponzi schemes and other get rich quick scams, are also lazy people. Those victims were scammed because they firmly believed that they can profit quickly from something.

It's simply because they want an instant money or asset even if it come from illegal actions. They don't have the patience to wait for a right time and they don't care wether their victim is poor . Scammer won't stop unless being caught and send to jail. Here in the Philippines , scamming is a group activity that enables them to even unlock some high security.

People scam because there is an opportunity to do so and they have the skills to do so. There are more and more online hackers and with cryptocurrencies it's so easy to scam people that don't know what they are doing. I just heard of someone who lost 10BTC because they gave away their private keys to get some of the new coins. What did you think was going to happen if you freely shared this information online?

GreedY that make people to perform less commendable acts like scam.
besides it is partly the user's own fault for being less wary of scams.

yes you are right, different people have different reasons for scamming, I means that people scam because of lake of knowledge to invest and also have problem in skills so that's the main reason is this case.

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

All I can say is we are all unique in so many aspects and that includes being good to people or being selfish sometimes. Being charitable can not be forced on anyone and we must give according to the amount that we can afford to. Yes, it is good if all of us can have a giving orientation but not all people can be on this level and we have to respect them for that. Rather than beg for other's help, the best strategy is to empower an individual so that he/she can stand on his own feet... And also in my experience basic thing for scam is selfish attitude not bothered anybody whether they die or live the scamming people want to live. Scammers can be known persons maximum who create the situation to help them and at the end the cheat us. They never bother about us at what circumstances we help them and how much will we suffer.

Well first its everyone's resoponsibility to educate himself in whatever he's putting himself through. If you become a victim lf a scam, you're partly to blame for it. Be informed and don't fall victim to greedy people

People scam because they want to get rich the fastest way possible.  They do this at the expense of others without even the slightest remorse or regard to their victims who worked hard for that money.  It makes me sick thinking about how people even scam the elderlies knowing full well that most of them need the money for meds or therapies.  For me, those who scam are also at the most bottom pit of the society as they do not have the backbone to work hard for a living.

[selectaselectine]

People scam because they don't like the hard work and simply thinks of the short-term success because most probably once they've finally got a fortune/money from the people they scam, they will immediately spend it to something that will satisfy their wants.

Crypto world is plenty of scammers, wich does offer you something very cheap or new, the thing is crypto did atracted a lot bad people wich were into fiat scam projects, now they are more safe at crypto world. There is no a valid concept why they scam, besides the easy money maker, those people usually looking for fast and easy money, and newbies usually fall in the traps, i believe they scam because the opportunity shows up to them and blind people invest and believe its possible to earn money without work.

[Uilnis]

People scam because they want money fast and easy scaming is the one that can get you there but you need to be really good in it otherwise you will not be able to get there as fast as you actually predicted because if someone knows who you are you need to pay everything back real fast.

[TheBobman]

It is easy money if i was a bad person i would have done this way also, but i feel for others i feel the pain of who are scammed. Can't we do something about it ? Maybe get a bitcoin police staff.

The scammers use bitcoins to store their coins so its nearly impossible to detect them.

[Wraithripper]

They scam because scamming is the best way to earn bitcoins because there are a lot of retards who invest in bitcoin so you can easily scam them and just get all the money from them. And you won't get in trouble because bitcoin is not being controled.

if you understand the how it works it wont be easy for someone to scam you and for sure scammers will be lessen if we know how to protect
our investments, whatever the reason is they are just doing it for easy money.

[monoculture]

Do the ethics of scamming change for cryptocurrency as compared to more traditional real-world scams? That is, thinking about the question of whose fault it is - the scammer for trying to cheat others, or the victims for falling for it - might be slightly different because of potentially increased ease of scamming and getting away with it without many legal or otherwise easy mechanisms to punish those who do.

[BladeFart]

what sort of query is it that I think all people have currently possessed a rip-off simply because we didn't want to do what we do? therefore it is organic for a person to prevent being able to get eliminate scams that in our life is not the perfect individuals at all? so it's alright to show us how to rip-off we simply thanks ...

[Thunderlizard]

People scam because it is an easy way to earn money why do they want that? because people are lazy and they want the money to be there at the moment you can compare scammers to thieves because they do the same get money the easy way.

[andrei56]

They think it is easy money.

It is a human instinct to seek methods to get an advantage without doing any work.

Now we have money it has followed through to that.

Look at questions on Quora, I answered one yesterday, ‘How can I get money on the internet doing nothing.

This is not only a human instinct it is just part of nature, but we live in a society and there are certain things that are forbidden and stealing is one of them, so all of those people have no excuse, they are willingly violating the laws and taking advantage of gullible people.

[keenjester]

Noone want to scam , scam can cause them many problems but they still could do it because they're desperate on money. Not everybody was born in a fucking rich scenario . Even with some people, they're not desperate on money but they're still trying to scam others people to having more and more money for their greed.

[dystectic]

People scam because they are greedy and want a lot of money in a small amount of time everything has scammers so it was expected that crypto currency's would also have scammers with their fake coins and wallets.

People scam because they think it is easy way tp earn money where they have to use other people for that. They do not want to work hard for them to earn without thinking and do not have conscience on what will happen to the victims if they do something like that. Thinking about themselves and their greediness inside is awaken.
