Why people scam

[Senkuli]

today bitcoin is growing very rapidly, has huge potential in digital currency, and promises good profit for investors and its users.
based on that fact,many people are bad-minded and want to take advantage of the situation for their personal gain, they scam against others, they create new similar projects with many sweet promises to get people interested and make a profit for themselves from that scam.

Not only because people don't simply get a job. They could become scammer just because they're in the big debt and they can't efford to pay. So scam other guys to pay that debts is the solution.

[elitelongbowman]

Poverty leads them to scamming other guys because they can't have enough for their needs and push to doing bad things to gather what they need.

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

In some countries you holding 5 bucks , FIVE  you are rich  .. imagine what we can do in country like venezuela

For your title. People scam because they are lustful, egoistic, they like the idea of getting rich fast with no work, and if they need to do bad things to others, well that's life.  This is how it has always been, this is a stupid part of human nature. I hope that this will change, but it doesn't seem to be someday soon. this is also why they have been selfish with others. they like being more powerful then other, they like thinking that they are better then others, when in fact they are not, in fact it's vice-versa. All the money in the world can't make you a real HUMAN. There's a saying in my country that goes like this: "To be a gentleman(a person with a lot on money) it's something that just happens, to be MAN (human in it's real meaning) is a great thing." So you can get rich by just being from a part of the world, or by birth, by luck, by scamming, by inventions or ideas, but you will need to gain the HUMAN name by doing good deeds.

Many people look for "easy" money and once tried they cannot stop, that's the fundamental reason, I believe

[zmkriel]

That is the saddest reality in life. Riches helps each other and become richer most of the time in any situation. Though some of them most especially the politicians and celebreties willing to extend their hands to the needy but with hidden agendas, to be more popular. That is the facts but it should not be done.

[jeni99]

actually things like this do not need to be discussed.
instead of giving the person money it's better to get him to follow the bounty here

People scam for some reason sometimes they commit crime such as what so called scam , just to fill their needs in daily lives , and some are doing it because of greedyness of a person. As you said to because of very desperate on what their desire is they committing crime , and they scam to just to become rich , rich and richer they wanted more than just a thousand , they wanted more as higher than a million. And yes it have a return or what so called karma , either it's good or bad.

On the other hand, they become selfish to right? , what if they just spend a few dollars to help some in need , that spend it to nonsense things. We all have different perspective through out this topic but for me is all I wanna say is people scamming, is because they wanted more they been dazzled through money.

I find the motives of a scammer to be irrelevant, after all a scammer may say that he is doing that to feed his family and even if that was true, there are people all over the world that need to feed their families as well and they do not rely on taking the money of other people by deceptive means.

People scam to get easy money for their easy life , spending money on their greedy purposes.

I think why people scam because of they no work so that they can do a bad things in this world. If you have work you can earn more money, but be carefull to does people that they can do to you a things that dont you like. Like scam because you don't know what they do to you.

Why people scam? It is because they carried away from the people by just telling the truth but it is not a truth but a lie and they are trusting wrong people around them and not hearing someone's advice.

Some people  who really doesn't have enough knowledge with the product or services that they are entering are really sometimes just joining or just go with the flow without further investigating about the product that they are entering to especially when their friend earn from it they are easily encouraged.

Yes it is happening now but it is not good, if you are using it as source of income then not to listen other people but should have your own investigation and searching so more you search the more you will have knowledge and chance for lose will be less. Bitcoin is best to have high profit and save income but for this you will have to be aware of scammers and misguides then you will get success in earning bitcoin and having profit.

People who scams are not earning money. Ok, maybe they're getting some money in that moment, but it's not something that will work for eternity.

[Sandijoee]

I think everyone does not do that, sometimes cheats do exist to do good usually do who do things like this is the poor who try to live and eat for his siblings and his family, so he did it because looking for work is hard, but the average deceive many bad people who do it. Deceiving is a bad thing and many people hate it that I personally hate those who scam.

People want easy and quick money but do not want to work,it always has been is and will be.At all times people are duped each other and making,starting with magic and ending with food.

Exactly, this is the major reason why people don’t work and scam others. This is pretty much nonsense and highly immoral to misguide others and rob them physically or through online stuff. Such people are increasing in number gradually and we should stay alert all the time especially when using internet to stay away from these scammers. They are going to rob you easily by showing you different opportunities of becoming rich.

Retract your "trolling for crypto" offer in the other thread you started,  and you'll probably be an entertaining member of bitcointalk--assuming you don't get banned first and that you're not somebody's alt.

Interesting observation about the starving to death thing.  So true.  That's part of the whole "money is the root of all evil" philosophy. 

You're not looking for a handout, are you?  You can go starve with the rest of them.

Yes.. This kind of people scammer's are those people who likes easy money without putting pressure in thier lifes.thier estrategy is to allude people who are thier victim'so they will succes thier bad intention..

[Yanisumin]

Because they're criminals. They will not scam if they are not criminals, because a con artist wants to get something easily that takes advantage of the ignorance or negligence of a victim. I just want to advise to remain cautious wherever you are, so that you avoid an impostor. The internet world is where fraudsters are easy to act, so stay cautious.

At the moment you scammed people you already are a criminal, and people are forgetting that because the freedom that the internet can bring, they are thinking that even if they scam people online (with fake identities and services) they are free from crime. Uts sad to think that some of the ICO are the new way of scamming and its really sad that some people who are involve in ponzi scheme think that what they are doing is legit because they are earning some money and they are being decieved to invite more people. And for the name of money they are doing it and in the end they are being treat as criminals, without knowing that what they are doing is bad.
So i just suggest that before people got involve online better know what you are fishing for or else you might be damaging your reputation or your life, dont get blinded by how money works.

Scammers are those who don't want to work but wants to get money. Be wise on links, applications or investing. Many liars in this world. They don't seek for many people who suffers. SCAMMING IS ILLEGAL I suggest for those who are being scammed to take carefully.

The only motive of all those who are busy in scamming is to make the money which does not even belong to them. They continuously keep on trying to launch different sort of techniques to grasp the money of others. Scammers find it the easiest thing to do as they don’t need to do much of the hard work in making other people fool. They sit back calmly and keep making money.

i also agree with this.
I have never seen so much scammers as there are in crypto.
because there is no regulation there are endless sites offering massive returns for your donation investment.
because ordinary people want to get as much crypto as possible they will try anything and the scammers know this.
the door is wide open for scammers to take advantage.

Not everyone that does that , does it with the intention of making quick money. There are people who does it because of they can't find a job in their country. So in some cases, we have to blame the government as the major cause of it. But many that are into scam or fraud business are doing it because they need quick money and nothing else.
