Scammers are to be blame

[minairia3]

We have different opinion regarding this. I think scammers learnt that it is gonna be easier to put up their knowledge into something that will easily earned money. Though the process isn't very clean at all. Also I have thus theory that those being scammed before is now learning the way of scamming other's due to their horrible experience. Instead of learning in good ways, they have been subjected to vengeance and worst doing this stuff.

The stuff is getting more uglier than I ever taught, regardless of how tiny the crime is once you have been unfair and treated people against their right is enough to call it out as scam. Many peeps on the internet have taken advantage of weak individuals on the internet and override them with funny taughts and get them to bed with their ideas

It's all about lying falling to this sweet promises will turned to sucking all your investment. Never to fall or believe in any kind of those promises.

You need to work with good knowledge and understand the reason why you will going to invest your money. Many people fall because of lack of information
with project and just dive in without understanding.

We should blame all lazy users who did not gain info's about the project of scammers? For me, Yes. if they still there scammers will continue what they doing and they dont mind whether who is the victim. as long as there are investors who invest in them. we can't help them as long as they can't help their selves. they should learn proper way to not loss their own funds. no one can bring to them back of what they lost.

Scams can occur because there is an intention from the developer team and investor ignorance. Investors should be more observant and careful in choosing a project and I think this is a common mistake because there is no clear regulation on ICO or fundraising for new projects.

Intention for what? Scammers are not just about the team and developers, have you experienced with some ico groups on the telegram? there was a lot of scammers will be contacting you when you are doing a report or looking for a solution to your problem.
The developer is responsible to give more and more awareness about that. People these days are smart enough to identify the scammer.

that's why scammers must not only be blamed but they must be jailed consider about scammers are always trying to steal money from others use various tricks. but there was a lot of chance for exchange site to protect us by implementing a very strict regulation like what we have see in binance.
That's more than enough to protect us from the scammers especially investors.
But sadly, so many low tier exchange sites are not using strict verification.

The scammers must be put in jailed and before we can do that we must have some people who are able to control the cyber world or the cyber space for us to track down those scammers and hackers so that they will be paid of what they steal on the people who are working for their good income. Also if we want to not experience those kind of scamming we must be really careful on what we are entering and doing so that the scammers will not have  a chance to scam us. If we got scammed we should blame ourselves too for not being careful.

maybe at this time we have to fight the scammers, crypto reputation has deteriorated this year because scammers are increasingly rampant and novice investors are victims, it's really sad. We cannot blame scammers completely, we as bounty hunters also have wrongly advertised projects that are not true / scammers and their victims are novice investors.

I hope, maybe another day there is a movement to fight the scammers.

It's hard to fight someone we don't know or even to locate. The only thing we could do now is to avoid scammers. If we could ever avoid them, then we can at least minimize their actions and their victims. We should start to spend more time on investigating a project to at least help other bounty hunters not to become a victim of scam again.

[Shasha80]

Scammers do make cryptocurrency worse in the eyes of the world. There is no effective way to eradicate these scammers, they are
every where. All we can do is avoid these scammers more carefully in the selection of projects that we want to participate in,
so we will know which projects are real or fake. But most people are too lazy to investigate the projects that will be followed.
So like to fall into the trap of scammers, if that's the case you will lose both from energy, time and even money. So always be
vigilant in everything  to avoid scammers.

[Inu.Guren]

yes scamers are always around us and they will never stop to commit project fraud as long as regulations / criminal acts on the crypto market are not implemented, maybe regulation is a good way to reduce scamers. and I think it's true that scamers are the main culprits to blame, and for users to be more selective before doing anything on the crypto market.

Even crypto regulations are already implemented, we can't still wipe-out these scamming activities. Not only regulations could help to minimize that scam but it is our individual detection on such activities. Many people get scammed cause they just let it happen with them. Cause if they are aware of what the people say's and also they know how to point scam projects, it absolutely scammers never succeed.

regulation are not affected for new project, as i know some project have a licensed from local goverment for running service under the regulation but still ended with scam, and investor money are stolen

They continue to innovate in fraud because they can follow the trends that exist in cryptocurrency and there is a gap to be able to make it. as is the case recently, IEO. They easily make fictitious projects and make payments to exchange to launch IEO. and after that it can be guessed that the concept they previously offered was only fictitious. there must be supervision from all parties. especially exchanges that are in the spotlight because they play a role and must be responsible

I agree with many that fraudsters have always been and will be in any industry. They are like parasites adapt to any new vaccine and become one step stronger and this is an endless process.

We have the power to choose always, we should know what to do, what to invest, when to invest, it's okay to take risk in investing, but what's not good was that most people were taking risk without any further investigation, they don't even know who were the team, the platform, their vision and anything that we must first know before we invest our money.

Yes, that's right, friend. it's hard to fight scammers, especially those at the god level, various new ways and efforts to find the next victim and it's all hard to avoid if we have greedy traits. I think at least for now investors and bounty hunters work together to analyze which projects are really real.

I feel sorry for the investors, especially the beginner he became a victim and part of his property was taken by people who are not responsible. if only being a bounty hunter is not really a problem for me, it's just a waste of time.

In your own words you confirm that most often the investors themselves are to blame who give money to scammers in an attempt to earn. The desire to get a quick profit and naivety these are the main drawbacks of the investor.

Really if there is anyway to erase scammers off crypto space it would have been better, 2019 would have bring better results for altcoins if not for scam projects everywhere scamming new investors, now scammers are scaring off new crypto investors wannabe since there is no trust or whatsoever and investors don't want to lose money either, whatever the next altcoin results is going to be will not be huge as many expected due to investors not trusting new altcoins anymore, no wonder why binance launchpads are selling out in seconds.

If crypto space is just like how binance managed IEO project in return for their own reputation altcoins will be skyrocketing right now because much more money will flow in, exchanges like binance is giving out trust investment that i really hope the entire altcoin space can do the same but its a shame scammers are robbing off the trust

We cannot fully erase scammers in this industry or anywhere, we just can't and they just won't stop. They will still continue to do cybercrimes and scams to earn and whatever we will do to counter their attacks they'll just come up with new ideas to continue their activities. The growing rate of victims of scams are what taking investors into thinking twice whether to trust or not to, so for us to help rebuild the trust, we shouldn't contribute to the fast growing rate of victims by not being victimized by scams.

So I think instead of blaming them we should try to control our own greed and if they show us fake green garden we get trapped and we give them chance to scam us. Before trusting new people just make research and involve only well known sites to trade or invest with pre care will help us abstain blaming other people and projects..

   How to explain to people to not be greedy? It`s impossible! It`s done so many times, there are so many warnings and still
people are making the same mistakes.
   Let`s not pay attention on that. I don`t have any other answer. We need to take care for us, what others do is their own
decision! We can`t really blame anyone!

[gensol]

Scammers alone ain't to be blamed. Quest for quick cash without proper scrutiny led us all here. If we questioned ICOs when it started we won't be here today but we all rushed and took part in it here we are currently.

[cryplion]

Scammers are everywhere, not only in crypto world, so we all should be careful of any "great" project and do more researches before making investment decisions.

[letyouearn]

ICO trend is gone now, that's obvious. Don't know how about IEO by the way - it's not so easy to win there nowadays. Hope this hype is not over and will rise again when the good old bull market comes.

[AliMan]

Would there a possible solutions for this? It's like a virus that became a contagious disease of the entire crypto community nowadays. This must be stopped or suppress to minimum, because they're hindering our future which supposed to concur. Lost of money, stolen privacy is our main concern here, and because of these cryber thieves whose the scammers many potential adopters avoided any transactions related to crypto, in which demoralized crypto image.

[darewaller]

Talking about scammers, I believe their are in every industry and crypto industry wouldn't be an exception. The only thing we can do now is to do our research not to fall victim of such scam, there are some good projects out there with some working product, let's try to find them and not blame anyone.

That is right, people are making the issue of scamming in cryptocurrency so big like this is the first time we will be having scammers in the world, and like you said, scammers are in every system, but there is always a way to actually deal with them which those other system that has the presence of scammers are being handled easily.

Cryptocurrency is a new system and gradually, as we grow in the system, we will be having series of ways to deal with the scam of which we are having some ways already, and one of the ways is just to do research in the project very well, and be sure that the project actually meets up to standard and that the project who should be an already established project should work according to what the developers have written in their whitepaper document concerning the project.
