Why do people think everyone is a scam?

[xuv500]

 People think everyone is scam because they might be facing scammers from start to end of their career in business. The main thing is their own carelessness and lack of knowledge on security features I will say. If one needs to start a business he or she need to abide with the validations and security related things before start.

People think that way because nowadays people intend to earn money in the expense of others. We all know that scammers are everywhere, we can even seen it in a news and even online. Some may even experienced being scam and lose their money. That is why we people have to be vigilant nd be more wise for us not to be a victim of scammers

Yes that is the point scam people are everywhere and they can any point to use other people for scamming so that's why people are very alert in every ways, so bitcoin is really safe currency and people want to imvest in this currency because they can trust in bitcoin.

We can't blame others to say about that cause they also experience of being scammed. Due to the massive increase of ICO's today is somewhat to say that some of them are just scam. They are just good at the start but suddenly disappear in the middle of the campaign while taking money from early investors.

We can't deny the fact there are some ICO developing in the blockchain are scam because many people have experience in some cases which is failure to paid the participants and just get away without nothing making silent.

Had to check to see when OP registered, though that's not even a true indicator of how long someone has been on the forum, what with alt accounts and all--and that's part of the problem that OP has brought up.

Any newbies here would be well-advised to do some reading on the Lending, Currency Exchange, Scam Accusations, and even the Services sections.  See how many people get tagged for scamming; see how many scams are being perpetrated and how they're executed.  This is the reason why members on bitcointalk are a bit paranoid and why people cry "SCAMMER!!" without even doing due diligence.  They just happen so often that one just assumes it's what's happening at the first sight of shadiness.

I don't think so but to my mind the answer is obvious because the number of scams has increased.

I don't know if they've increased, but they are most definitely numerous to the point of being nauseating.  It's good that we have a tight DT group that tags these morons when spotted.

That is one of the reason why the people are trusting the cryptocurrency lesser than what we expect because they think that it is just scam and all of the things that are in the cryptocurrency world are not trustworthy to spend their time and money and that is why we should need to take actions and educate them and make them realized that they just need to be smart to avoid scams here.

[maxreish]

We do not blame them if that's the way they view, because almost everyday there is news victimized again by scammer. Not because we deny literature they say, because certainly many who became victims of scams especially in this field.

When someone is hit by a scam once then it will they remember so that when there is a similar offer then he will think is a scam, of course as investors we must be careful but do not ever think that everyone is a scammer.

well, bad experience is always the main cause of all this. so, only those who dare take the risk of daring to take this path. has a lot of negative news for now regarding crypto, it is not wrong if potential investors are careful in this case

Those who had bad experience must be panic seller which is bad thing in crypto currency so it is not good at all to sell your bitcoin at panic price and later on saying bad things to discourage other users so is the main reason why I always say nothing is scam, if you do care for your  bitcoin and don’t sell at panic only for the bad news people spread consciously as there is nothing true in it, nothing is scamming in bitcoin just fix your goal and focus on it to become rich.

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!

This is natural for people to belief everyone is a scam this is because there are lots of media who are giving fake news to everyone via television, radio and social media that states bitcoin is a scam. Bitcoin actually is not a scam but it became because it was being used by scammer to scam people to invest big amount of money due to the huge profit offered.

This thought that everyone is scam is nothing but the lack of information on the side of those who loose money. They start crying over spilt milk and state calling everyone scam. But if they extend their study about the technology they invest in. The trick to modify the plan and strategies as the market crashes are the basic rules that helps you maximize your output. Calling scam will never do no good.

Once beaten, twice shy! The reason to suspect almost everyone is because of the following reasons:
The person has been scammed before
He must have been hearing lots of information going around of how people got scammed.
Also, he must have witnessed it before.
And to cap it all, there are warnings everywhere to guard against being scammed.

Good saying! If a person was deceived once, he might trust people, ICOs and Airdrops. However, when he meets scammers 2-3 and more times, he starts thinking all lie.

It is by nature that man reacts to things that do more harm than what is safe  and tends to remember this experiences as something to really instill or mark in someone's mind. This is part of man's action we call fear. Fear  fuels doubt on anything that was not proven yet after such a worse experience. So that it is not to be questioned if anybody would just call evrybody as scams.

[ArteMixer]

You might think of it as buying a good from the internet. You would rather use Amazon and overpay a bit, rather than ordering from small companies. That's it.

[JonathanCoper]

Because of there are a lot of scam:) and there is not any punishment for this kind of actions in global. As a result doubth is quite normal.

[bib24]

Its because scams and scammers are flying all around not only in physical but in digital world as well. People tend to believe all negative news spreading all over. Its a matter of choice if they will believe or let their curiosity run wild. My curiosity led me here, I take time to know this cryptocurrency, and still learning while earning.

[Kamote_1102]

when someone offers you something that is too good to be true, we would rush into it. however, when it involves money you doubt it for sure. It's our defence mechanism to doubt something, especially when you heard it the first time and you thought it was good. for me, always have a doubt in everything that involves money. it's better to be safe and sure than sorry.

[FIREBALL24]

You live and you learn, a lot of people here have lost money or have seen people lose money to scammers one way or another.

Exactly, Don't trust easily. If you think it's a scam, don't respond, scammed will use a personal touch to play on your emotions to get what they want.

The market of crypto is very young and is at the stage of formation. under such conditions, the appearance of a large number of scammers is perfectly normal. over time, the rules of the organization of a crypto business will line up so that the scam will appear less and less.

[kujaroth]

People think everyone is a scam because they can't fully trust a person you didn't know full too well and haven't met. The network connection is strong but the trust is not.

[KrishaBitcoin]

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

Some people strongly believed that Bitcoin investment is a scam especially if these people had experiences to be scam before that why we need them to see our strong proof that we are earnings and orient them very well that Bitcoin is not a scam but only those people that use Bitcoin platform to scam people.So it is really better to review well the investments if these are legit or not.
