I have often been accused of cheating by those who tend to cheat a lot themselves. I think the situation is exactly the same.

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!
Indeed not all are scams but people nowadays are cautious because scammers are just out their waiting for their prey. There is truly good income in crypto. But due to these increased scam incidents, people are becoming careful. And improving their knowledge is the best way to detect legitimate investments. And we cannot blame also the people who were victims of scams. These people are becoming more vigilant this time on their next attempt to invest.

I feel that this idea is far more better and preferred to unvetted/unprobed trust or reliance for individuals or cooperate body's transactions or project which had earlier on surmounted most people to provoking cum regretted deals in the hands of unidentifiable, wicked and unscrupulous Scammers. Should we now ascribe the untrusted situation of the moment to anyone who is trying to secure himself or play safe to avoid jeopardized transaction?
However, you should be in the position to always keep clean and safe your project to protect your integrity in order not to disrupt the Goodwill built overtime, where you should be opened to be investigated any moment, anytime.
By this, the idea should never be a cause for concern other than a more safer business/project motion for piety and sanity.

Exactly, nowadays many scammers here in cyberworld world which they do such attractive features that will totally caught the attention of many and have a victim. Well, many users are attentive, observant and cautious here in cyberworld in order to avoid those scammers but somehow due to ignorance of some users they will totally be scammed. Hopefully each of us will set as our learning on what was happened to other people here in crypto currency community.

No one gives nothing. And there are many greedy people around. Scam is a way to entice others to spend their fortune to serve others. The problem of these scams is that it offers huge profits to make people blind. From there, bring in big profits for scammers. So, the scam's easy-to-identify feature is profitable, special incentives. Careful. Because so many things can be Scam.

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.
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.
With big risks, there comes big pros and cons. You can’t just say that if you are open to earn from some source, that would be all alone and you are good to go for profit every time. No, this isn’t the case. There are bad aspects of that source as well that comes out as risk. If the risk is not handled properly you can become waving at disaster and it would be eating you up all alone.

Because we are so deceived, we are looking for a reason to be deceived. Wish is a natural move for us now that we are looking at deceiving deceitful eyes cheating on all the people who promised us something. By doing double check in this way, we have not really given opportunity to the frauds who checked ourselves twice. .

You can't generally censure them, there are numerous tricks in the discussion and individuals are extremely suspicious to the point of being relatively neurotic of everything, however another probability is that in certainty the ones that are blaming you are in reality contenders offering comparable or the exceptionally same items and they are simply endeavoring to make individuals anxious about purchasing your items or administrations.

There are just group of people that doing this intentionally to destroy the credibility of a respected screw. Well we can not avoid such thing the same with someone do of spreading FUD news against btc and eth. The best thing to do is keep on going with your honesty service
Since we do not have power to control this matter. This is the key to left them behind while you are approaching the victory.

...We cannot blame them if they experienced as a victims of scammers. But it's not the valid reason to quit or  to enter the world of crypto. Because everything has advantage and disadvantage. And that's true that not all offers are scams.

We don't trust each other anymore, that's why we see each other as opportunist. When it comes to money, everyone is so hot and leads to greediness that pushes someone to do bad things.
You can't really trust someone or something when it comes to business. Because when you do everything will fall apart. You have to think strategically and observe well maybe some may offer loyalty but you have to secure your safety first, you economic status in a safe matter first. But if you have a gut feeling in doing so then do it. Sometimes the risks give us the highest of rewards we could ever get. Just like here in Bitcoin, expect the unexpected and with high risk you'll get high reward.

in my experience, everybody is on guard with releasing their money to people they don't know simply because they've been scammed one way or another. when money is involved or their reputation or loved ones on the line, people instantly puts up their walls and be on guard. i know of people who wants others to try it first and if they're good then they will join in too. others look for some sort of collateral so they can be sure.

when it comes to money actually. you can't even rely your family when it comes to money and crypto currency is money. the more you can't trust those who you don't know on the internet. when someone offers too good to be true in the offline world, i even think its an attempt to scam. most of the time actually i stand correct with my hunch.

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
Not everyone is a scam. We are capable or the one responsible on what we do. So we must be careful on choose what ICO projects to invest with and in what bounty campaign to participate with to avoid scams.

In the reality, we can't predict if the bounty campaign can go for a scam or a successful project because it is not like investing that you will spend a lot of time studying the campaign because you can be like the other people who are just joining and joining and if you will ask me what is the best thing to do is to join to those campaign manager who are already have a lot of experience to managing a campaign because they will choose good projects for sure.

it's natural that people new to crypto think that all crypto are scammers, everything goes back to our respective beliefs. because many people are successful thanks to crypto and many are also deceived. the digital world is very risky to fraud. how our own attitude in taking the speculation whether we believe that the project is true or just a scammer. enrich our reading and find out it is the solution for us who dive in crypto.

From my point of view this situation cozed by numerous precedents for such opinion. Another argument in defend of people, who screaming “scam” is that new technologies, such as btc might be not so easy to understand. The cure for thoose, who thinks that scammers are everywhere is self-education. It’s easier to determine who is lying and who is offering good service, when you know more.
