New investors getting a lot of scam because i think it’s their lacking of the analysis regarding which projects. But there are many experienced investors lost in the various projects but which are looking reliable in that case your reasons are wrong. Even a lot of projects launched real products but ultimately they got scammed. You cannot predict which are worth investment at the moment. Because many legitimate projects going scam.

Beside that you have mention above, i will give my opinion for this case. People who get scam from new ICO just speculate when they decided to join in it. Easy to believe what dev said about the project and just interesting on profit without considering the risk they will take.
I think that many people assess the risks that they take, but even after the project is unsuccessful, they still continue to make the same mistakes and choose the wrong projects. paradox One principle they known about investment is "invest for long term" or buy today get return in the future. Its really gamble mindset they still keep it up in their head. Once they get scammed, then they will blame the others, but actually we can analyst every new project, at least we dont get scam first, that was good.

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.
Ye its true sir they got scam easily because of many promises of developer. Thats why many investor are got lost there money. Maybe before they join they can search first the project if that good or not. Also some developer are greedy because they offer a good profit of there projects but in the end the project is not good.

I think the most important reason out of three will be a lack of knowledge. You can not invest in a project if you do not have knowledge about it.
People are easily trust when they see good offers and think about it as easy money which can give good return for short time though not having knowledge about it. Out of greed and because of need of money, people got scam, mostly become a victim when you are thinking where to get an amount easily.

I think it is because of lack of self constraint. I agree that your given factors are all correct but if a person have self constraint then it is possible for him to evade scams. Since he will not be eaten by his own greed. They also are too lazy to do their own research. If one have no knowledge then researching it is the answer.

Good point but that is the main target of the management in every project basically people dreaming to become rich once they investing in ICO before but now we also have an IEO which is less scam but definitely without a proper knowledge the high risk to end up loosing money is a high possibility because of the so much trust.

I think the obsession to get rich quickly is the wrong thing to invest. Some ICOs have the opportunity to benefit, but ICO risks are now greater and vulnerable to manipulation. The IEO has given investors a little relief because tokens or coins are not obtained directly from the team but involve exchanges that investors can sell back to the stock after IEO is finished. However, every investor should not be too easy to believe in the IEO project, without research they can still get a scam. Do not rush to invest in IEO, after you get enough information then you can decide to join or not.

Supervision is also an influence. if only in making the projeck required to complete the permit file or else I think this can make the projeck more watchful than the projeck now who is free in making the projeck according to their wishes,supervision can also make investors believe

The main problem here is the lack of readiness to perform individual researches on projects and coins before investing. Without running checks on these projects, it is very difficult to identify which one is scam and which one is authentic and this raises the risk level of ending up in a scam project. Although IEOs have taking on ICOs with their well structured way of token sales, not all IEOs can be trusted.

That's correct, I'm sure greedy is the main reason to get scammed in the crypto world, a lot of investor don't know the purpose of the project at all, the opposite of people just want to earn quick money, project owner easy to give us a lot of promised, investor believed that the project is a ways to let them fast rich scheme, finally we got scammed and this problem is constantly happening.

Sugar coating gets people drived by their own fear getting scammed which in fact turned into a something easily-get-eceiving people. Well, that is how people scammed. When they see a project that looks promising that they tend to forget to look, and search behind those projects, and foresee the possible outcomes. Well, no one could even stopped such situations. It is only them who must avoid it. Because they are the authority themselves, so looking only in the surface isn't sufficient.

These 3 are what I can say are the top reasons as to why people fall into scam projects. Another reason below those 3 is "Influence". Crypto is a space where the price/progress can be driven by pure emotions and sentiments. Forbes and John mcafee endorsed this MLM-like ICO and is now in huge problem as they face court and legal issues. Many people believed in it because of the people promoting it in the front-end. I would not even trust those guys anyways because you can almost get exposure anywhere using money.

Most people want to make good money and do not apply any effort. Therefore, the more profit a new project promises, the more people decide to invest in it. The possible large profit closes people's eyes and they stop studying information about the project, thereby falling into the hands of scammers.

yes I agree with the 3 points you have mentioned above, some of the points above are indeed the facts that occur in this crypto industry, greed is a negative attitude held by some people, so the lack of knowledge is also one of the reasons why often encounter fraud projects, and my last point will only add to the suggestion to always do detailed research and never depend on anyone before joining any project.

Of course, lack of research is one of the main causes why people fall into scam projects although some scam projects cannot be identified even after performing research on them. Regulations by platforms where cryptocurrency projects are hosted can also be of great help in eliminating scam projects. In the view of this, the platforms will request for proof of doc and run some checks on the projects before hosting them on the platform and this will reduce significantly the scam projects.
We have too many people in the cryptocurrency world that really lack vision or planning concerning their investment, you see people just investing in any project that they see, which is why they find it very difficult because their excuse would be that how many projects would they research on, meanwhile, if they have a goal like to invest in just ten solid projects in a year, it would not really be hard for them to research on any project that the picked, but they feel researching on every project is hard. Making research on a particular project of our choice should not be something so difficult, and it is very necessary to do, if we can research deeply on the project, we would be able to easily tell if the project will be worth our investment and staying with for a very long term or not.

Dev are becoming wise day by day. You can still have in-depth knowledge about a project that even have high reliability trust on many ICO review sites and still get scammed. For instance, Gemstra. Nobody could have thought such a project will actually become scam. This is a project that has been developing with regular updates but suddenly, all the team members disappear without any trace. Many investors are still in shock up till today. investing in crypto now is pure gambling and not about trust or anything.

Consider also the fact that these investors still continue to not learn their lessons with all these. They're just kinda feeding the beast that will get into their way in the end. It just kinda saddening that these scams will never ever go away just even how these scams emerge outside crypto and even non-crypto related projects. Too lazy to research is also a contributing factor for this.
Crypto is vulnerable to fraud, because here people can hide through anonymous. They could have displayed photos and documents of other people to launch the action. But in the end we have to realize, even though the project looks legitimate, the potential loss cannot be prevented. Is when a project that is legitimate and has traded its tokens on the exchange at an inappropriate price when ICO or IEO will be called fraud?

Indeed, it is now very easy to get into a fraudulent project and there are certainly many different factors. I want to add to the above that the market has now changed. By this, I want to say that fraudsters feel more confident and can launch one project after another, so that they could only deceive participants' funds. Fraudsters feel impunity and take advantage of the moment. For us it remains only to be as attentive as possible and try to better choose projects for participation.

This is so true, I really like the key points buttressed briefly here on why people easily get scammed in crypto. Greed takes a major percentage of most scam cases, people invest big in token sales with zero risk management strategy, in a bit to sell at huge profit. When investing in any token sale, do so because you have properly researched on the project and believe the team can deliver the project vision. Be aware that price movement is solely controlled by market conditions, prepare for the best but still expect the worst. Some people just buy into hype with zero background knowledge of the project, that's absurd.
