I would say you are right. Lots of users faced scams because of greed. I could vividly remember one that happened on telegram. Best to do proper research before investing and anything that comes with sweet mouth from team, community moderator or anyone should be properly look into as some are there to sweet coat and scam..

Most likely, those affected by the scam are just learning. I also like that when I know crypto, so many scammers. it's just that, now I'm used to it. however, I also agree that greed is a major factor in this matter. people want to get rich quickly, and scammers take advantage of that, so people are easily fooled.

Lack of understanding is the main factor they are easily fooled and at least it has been realized when I was a victim several times in the past and about greed, in fact they or greedy people will not always lose money because of fraud so to overcome this problem we should have an understanding first to finally we can do better research.
If you do not know about the investment that you're into, for sure there is a high chance that you could lose your money. Lack of knowledge and lack of understanding are the reason why there are a lot who are becoming victims of those shit scammers. If you got scammed, it is your fault because it only means that you do not know what you're into.

I think it is a simple logic, how are you gonna earn money if you do not know what you're into it. I think it is like a gambling and not investing anymore because you are putting your money in something that you do not know.

What? So you mean you are now used to getting scammed or you are used to see scammers around? Well, I hope it was the latter part Grin.

Actually having an encounter with scammers and tons of "scammish" projects is no longer new to me. But just like you, I'm no longer bothered because I know that I will not fall on their witty traps. And everyone should do the same — be smart and careful always. If you once became a victim then make sure it won't happen again next time Cheesy.

Scammers and "hackers" typically just trick users into giving people their keys. My favorite is all the female impersonators on Discord. Manipulating human psychology will always be effective, provided the strategies change over time. Best thing to do is simply be aware of this.

Because they want to get rich quickly and refuse to learn and research about this market. That is why they encounter bullshit and scammer projects in this market. Before getting started, they need to thoroughly understand the projects they want to invest in, most of the new projects in this market are scams. So be really careful with it

Many people especially those that are new to crypto work got scam easily. There are many factors that contribute to this to mention few, people wants to make quick money, impatience, lack of research about the project. The major one is not doing thorough research about the project before putting all the money. So my advice for people that want to invest in any project is to make a lot of research and be patience.

Greed is indeed an unkind trait. People who have benefited, often can not resist and lusting to get more. It is certainly going to be easily interested in a project that gives a big advantage. Though with unrealistic destination projects often end up failing or expressed as a fraud.

And people who have no knowledge of the project is of course at risk. When choosing an ICO project, we should check carefully.

For me in this online world, don't be easy to trust with others. If you want to invest, try checking out other investors in the ICO. If you have done a good check, you can invest your money.

Greed is the factor that keeps many people stuck with scam projects. Always remember that there is nothing free in this market, and no one can help you get profit quickly.

 You are right , one of the  reasons and of course the easiest way people get scam is greed. most times greed do not even allow them reason well before responding and investing in any project. if we take greed out it will be very difficult to get people scammed. if you do not have a good knowledge about what is being presented to you then you should ask questions.

for instance , a friend gets scam of his BTC because the scammer (buyer ) offered a high price than  what was offered in the escrow group and he went ahead to carryout the transaction only to be scammed at last.

There are many factors that can lead one into being scammed by anybody especially telegram is greed. How will someone on earth tells you to send funds for doubling and some would tell you someone assisted them to trade and made heavy returns the final one that's raining now is the one about Mr someone showed them way and made them gain huge funds. I do ask myself if those guys knows what they are actually doing. Someone assisted you make huge profits, why then showing it to the whole world that you made huge and they should join you. It calls for thinking and questions. Let's wide up please! .

IMagine what happened recently, when the big twitter accounts in the crypto space were hacked, including the accounts of big exchanges and their owners, big projects inclusive, some fell victim because they wanted freebies, which can also be likened to greed, but not exactly the sea as greed. There are better ways to earn securely in the crypto space, but they will not go for that, rather they will be looking for quick bucks.

I think that we should better consider about gaining knowledg first before investing, choosing IEO in short or long term investments. in my opinion try to avoid scammers, must choose IEO that produces a good ROI for example launchpad in binance or poloniex or in other large exchanges which held IEO

the problem is, having knowledge regarding crypto takes a lot of time and most of people who falls to this scam are newbies who are in process of gaining knowledge aswell. we can't expect someone who just barely created a transaction to know all the things a veteran should've known.
It's just difficult to give them warning since most of them not gonna believe in you before they experience it themselves.

Every scam isn't about been greedy or not, the first time I came across Bitcoin doublers in 2017 I thought it's normal judging from how Faucets works at that time, I did tried and got my Bitcoin doubled as promised but not knowing it's a way to confuse me, the second try was a final bye bye to my Bitcoin.

Things why a person can easily get scammed in crypto-world

1. Greed
2. No knowledge about the project
3. Trust

This are the three main reason why they get easily scam
Greed, because there are a lot of promise by the campaign and the developer we easily believe that its true
investing a lot of money in the project that is garbage.
No knowledge also is the second reason because of the trend they just go and invest without any knowledge of the said project
Trust because they trust the people in the project which sometimes pretends that the person is a member of the project
they can easily decieved that once they invest , they will soon find out that the person is just impersonating , and not really
what all expected.

one can never be too careful when money is involved... even big companies get scammed by individual or group of people.. I've been a victim of a scam before.. that doesn't mean I was greedy or I lacked knowledge of what I was investing in

We all have different experience when it to comes to this issue, why people got scammed easily. There are as a particular time I worked for almost two months, all in the name of trying to mine Bitcoin from a site like that. I had little knowledge of Bitcoin then. All I knew ay thay time was that, it's an online stuff called digital money. I login every single day. I even refer some of my friends to join. But we all got to know that it was a scam. The site is run by some guys, and they were looking for traffic in their site. That's a stupid one you know. But what can people not to have have money.

Sometimes, they've been fooled by their friends of relatives, someone who's involved with ponzi and scam projects they've been recruited in a promised that they'll be getting a huge amount of money. Both trust and greed leads them to get victimized by scammers, it's always best to work more with your education regarding to the investment that you'll going to participate and invest your money.
