It is the way life is as everywhere is filled up with scammers and that is a way people can only try as much as possible to guide themselves from scams. You would act the same way as well.

Not all offers may be scam but at least for a new business and a new offer, you have to be able to find something to prove yourself that you are not a scam and as long as that cannot be done, you should not just expect anyone to fall face flat for your stuff without having to question the authenticity.

It seems as though there is a predominant attitude about people trying to do business that most people are scammers. We have run into this time and time again, accusing us of running "dirty" money or stolen goods.
We put ads or offers in various places saying "vetted buyer" and "respected escrow" and still get negative comments from people that don't even want to do business. They would just rather demean and abase and not add any positive thoughts.
I will say that we have had pretty good success in spite of the naysayers. Doing business in this way is new to most people and seems foreign. But we have plodded through and have achieved a success that has proved that not all are wrong.
There are people all over that are looking for honest services, and we have carved a niche for that entity. We know that there are scammers out there, but we are working to elevate us to a position of reknown.
Not all offers are scams!

Actually there are other countries who are using the name of cryptocurrency in order to promote their own platform which is a scam but if you only understand how the system works in the market then you will really notice that cryptocurrency is not a scam.

Its normal that people think scam when it talks about money.When money is involved first thing you think is if you joined a legit business.It is good and bad traits.Good because they will never be scammed and bad coz they cant get a good opportunity because of negative taughts.

Because speculation always comes with big risks. And where there are risks, there will be scammers.

Because we can't deny that almost everything on cryptos are just a scam. That makes it hard for us to spot which ICO is really legit enough because there are ICO that looks so legit but turns to be a scam even if the ICO is not yet done.
agree. most crypto is indeed a big scam. and also today plus many sly people who intervene to get a lot of profit in the wrong way

Someone is quite reasonable to assume that they should have a sense of suspicion because as we know that much speculation is happening to the crypto. Many things are unexpected and currently there are a lot of projects that do not have a good level of reputation. The point is that now everyone should be more careful and they should be smarter in choosing the right investment. The more this time it will be more difficult to get the best, with accuracy and the right choice then the results we will get will be satisfactory.

I don't think so but to my mind the answer is obvious because the number of scams has increased. It is difficult to define who is who. That's why a lot of people think that it is necessary to be careful with everyone

Yeah, absolutely! It is very hard to believe easily because even the poeple you know may scam you just because og money so what more to those who you do not know?. So they can't blame them if they think that all online busnisses is scam.

You cannot blame anyone that are afraid to be scammed but that doesn’t mean that they are accusing all are scammer. We are all here to earn no matter what positions and ranks. Each and everyone are working and trying all the time to give their best on what suppose to be their job and it is a pain in the ass that others are not being paid for the job well done just because of this greedy and selfish scammers.

People think everyone is a scam because they are closed minded person or maybe there past experience. Usually people are very skeptical , only few are open minded . They tend to easily believe of what they hear from other people. If they knew 1 people who got scam in bitcoin ,then  they are going to generalize that bitcoin is a scam.

It's a natural behavior. It's normal for people to take precautions before investing into something. Trust does not belong to the business world today.

A good businessman never let's his emotions get involve with their businesses, even at your own family.

In reality, they fear because they find some difficulty in finding legit person, there are many scams and people stealing from the wallets and this make people to confuse about whether to whom we have to believe. Now situation are like that in online, nobody don't have any connection in between them.

when someone has been deceived then he will always remember it, he is traumatized and he will not easily believe in others.

Scam is one of the reason why here in my country banned bitcoin last year because we that the value reach the maximum amount of $20,000 so the government here in my country banned it to secure my countrymen not one of the victim of those scammer. We don't blame them why everyone thinking that is scam because they securing their money and we know right scammers are always there so that we need to be careful always.

We can't blame them for that because it is really hard to trust people nowadays. Scammers are everywhere and just waiting for their next victim. I think people are just too careful whom they trust. Though some opportunities are legit, people nowadays are just smart to check it first.

People are distrustful of crypto-currency, and some consider it even fraud, because most of them are not directly looking for information about it and are not acquainted with it in more detail, but content with the information that is sometimes given in the media and comes from state and banking structures. And such information is not always accurate and not always true. This is especially true of information coming from banks, which directly try to divert people from using crypto currency. Not always objectively in this respect are the mass media, which sometimes provide customized information.
We must know the credibility of a certain coin before investing in that because anonymous coins may scams and take your money. You can do nothing against them. Better to invest in well-known crypto like bitcoin, Ethereum, litecoin, ripple and keep aside to buy such coins which are not famous. By this way we can secure ourselves from big scams.

you're right, it's just that sometimes investors are more tempted by the profits that promised a project in comparison to pay attention to the activity of the project. well, many are exposed to a scam because of it, and then they think that it's all a scam.

not only on our era but also to the old school people as well. Almost all people are afraid to be scammed because money is always verry hard to find. the only way to avoid scamming is to be safe at all times . So how one can be safe if we were always expose to scammers due to the fact that cryptos are online and being online means you are oftenly prone to them.

you can still protect yourself by securing your coins on a hardware wallet and also in an cold storage or offline devices ( e.g computers , laptop , mobile phones , etc ) as long as it can run the application .

Overall , not all things are scam but there are lots and tons of them online that is waiting for their prey. thats why we should always be cautios and be aware on what is happening around us.
