Why would anyone do such a scam?

[Proximity Scan]

It is really disgusting, the human being changes personality when it comes to money, personalities vary depending on the belief of each one, it is advisable to read, observe the promises.

Money buys the character of the people and those who do scam are those who does not have the morale to identify what is right and wrong . It's very basic if you ask a child he will tell you but when you grow up this things are forgotten and start cheating people.

They try to take the advantage of non-regulative world. They know that when they scam others, they won't be judged. This is very ridiculous. All they do is stealing the money of others.

The thing is someone threatened to give a bad review on ICO if they refuse to pay him for a good review. Well, they refused, and the guy started to call them a scam. I'm pretty sure they are not. But anyway, why would anyone do such a thing? Waste their time to do bad to others? I mean his time could be used better than that.

Well this is really sad and weird thing is he is actually extorting money from them. Some people go too far beyond limit and doing this kind of things for earning money only.
Now a days people chose the easiest way of earning money, than why not be it by defaming other people’s reputation.

As in all fields and businesses there are supporters and haters and a third side is the black mailers, when there is very big project with big funding some people try to ask ransom otherwise they create fud online by posting scam accusations about the project, i think that is unethical and unreasonable.

They want instant money and they easy to them to do that,think if they have a phising site to scam other like many people who access or do invest in their site,it an easy money and they only need an btc address to do scam other.I experience that kind of site before they call it doubler and many of my friends in fb invest in that double,first to 3rd weeks they pay many of us but after a month they run away with a lot of btc in their doubler.

People will have to learn to be more carefully.
But sure. Fresh fish will always be easily caught.

Some people prefer to get profits in much easier way than to work hard for it, of course it is easier to get money through scamming, more profits in an easy way. They only think about earning money and do not have any goals. Those people are immoral and greed is good for them. They can scam because once they did that to us, we can not do a thing to change what happened. Scamming is naturally happening with real life currency, what more in digital world, they can also do that here.

[gestknpa]

I really do not know these liar conspiracy to get money will not be punished by God.

[Yoshinoya]

Because not all people are good. Some people want to get much profit without working hard, that's why they are scamming.

People have different mindset and strategy to survive, for us not right but for them maybe this is the right thing they must do. Besides that, ICO is " collect money " and I believe most people ( not all ) will do something not right to get part of ICO. As investor/ trader/ bounty hunters/ customers I suggest not do that, keep on our track to get money with right way. I'll waste my time to fix my strategy to get profit, it's worth and meaning something for me and my family.

If you do investing on ICO you have to do a brief research on the project. You will get the profit according to the coin goes bigger in the chart. That would be possible if the project potential to survive in long time.
Most of the scammy ICO will have high capital investment of the project. Then they will scam that they have not achieved the expected growth and reduce the share of the promoters and investors.

Really many people today are taking advantage of the non-regulation of the icos to apply several scams by the internet, whether by false projects as and what else is happening like this, a person forging a false identity so can steal a company.

If we had ICOS regulations we would have a lot more transparency and security for investors, buyers and also bounty hunters and this would prevent many frauds that are on the market today.

Easy money is always be the easy choice by others whom who don't have remorse of doing the crime. I just wish these scammers can be caught and be legally put behind bars as payment of the crime they committed.

If ICO offered to pay for good review then they have to pay because the crypto currency influencer or article reviewers take time to grow their community and audience even its required more effort . If some body offered for writing review and not paying for the effort then they deserve for bad review . they should pay wages for labor

For a quick and easy bucks of course, ICOs is the easiest way to collect money from investor and many bad people out there use ICOs to scam people. It will bring a negative thing into ICOs though, but i'm sure people and investor are smart nowdays. They will not invest on fake/scam project.

This is why many people that might be interested in investing in icos in the past now are not going to invest in them at all, also many icos have now increased requirements like the need to prove who you are and things like that so if I was not that interested in icos before, my interest has gotten even lower because if there is someone that needs to identify himself is the creator of the ico.

Such a person may not have a job and they just do something stupid. I we are in all places there must be an indicator of trust, when only someone who says a scam and they also do not have a belief from others then it is not enough effect. To say a scam project should certainly have many reviews, for me only a few people will not be too influential. As long as the project has good targets and goals then I do not think it will affect much of people's thinking. Everything will go according to the early indicators, when a project does not have a prospect then I think everyone can do the analysis and can decide their choice.

You have a point on that, most people nowadays are rampant doing such bad intentions like making scams websites. The main reason of this is to have an easy money, which could provide their daily needs. Even they already know what they are doing , they just continue to do it because there are also some users that are careless on there different account which by giving easily their private informations like the private key that they have. Those scammers is not easy to capture because of their code names and having a lots of identity. The best thing to do ,is to assure to the users that their private key or password should be in the safe place all the time and be observant all the time by entering the website which might have a possibility that it is a scam site or not.

Scam is the easiest way to earn money that's why some lazy people doing it,they want to earn big profit without investing big money and without hardwork,scammers are making a phising site that can get big interest and high profit on there money that they invest to get more attention in the people investors and bounty hunters to get easy money.

[Dyn@styN3rd]

If that person bought a share from that ICO and doesn't give him/her the share then its a scam. Let's be honest as some of the ICO were just there to get funds from investors then there's a possibility that they will not make it to any exchangers so that's a scam. That is why it is important to research about an ICO first before buying a token from them.

Scamming is the most easiest and the most instant way to get money from people. People will do everything in the name of money even in the most unacceptable way. Its just that there were large number of people who are not well educated about this things which also leads to big number of scammer.

By means of catchy promises and good looking website, people will have their interest on it. The same way scammer desperately need money, also desperate investor put tge risk on it without fully knowing it.

[judgememes]

People do that all the time, even with people such as amazon sellers, is called blackmailing. On this business community recognition is the key, an ICO tagged as scam will have a very hard time recovering and what an ICO needs is to grow so... People all the time wants money also

[Flickkk]

They are desperate to get Easy money.
thats why they use the Process of Scamming People
