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.
A lot of people and newbies are getting scam everyday thinking about it, Sometimes even if we already know that the offer was just a big scam sometimes we just want or hope that it was not because we want the money. Most of the time newbies are getting scam not because they have no knowledge or lack of knowledge about the cryptocurrency but sometimes it was all greed they are just letting someone to scam them because they think it might be true to get or multiply their funds ending up getting scam. The thing is getting profit here in cryptocurrency was not really that easy a lot of people have the wrong impression or thinking that it is easy.

I think greed and ignorance are two major factors that make people fall victim of scam. Some people want to get rich quickly even if they get to the crypto last month, such people will jump easily at any offer that looks buoyant but with traces of scams. Secondly, some do not even bother to seek for knowledge about what they want to do, they just accept anything hook line and sinker.

A lot of people and newbies are getting scam everyday thinking about it, Sometimes even if we already know that the offer was just a big scam sometimes we just want or hope that it was not because we want the money. Anyone that falls in this classification will always get scam because everything that's too good to be truth is definitely scam but chasing after despite the clarification is greedy and someone who's is greedy is dangerous to himself and people around him. Most of the time newbies are getting scam not because they have no knowledge or lack of knowledge about the cryptocurrency but sometimes it was all greed they are just letting someone to scam them because they think it might be true to get or multiply their funds ending up getting scam. The thing is getting profit here in cryptocurrency was not really that easy a lot of people have the wrong impression or thinking that it is easy.
You might be right but 95% of all newbies which are scammed happen to lack the knowledge and i think the reason you thought of newbie to be greedy is because they most believe crypto to be an easy to get rich scheme.

You have said it all. The two major reason why people get scammed in the cryptocurrency market are greed and lack of knowledge about the market. The greedy people are the ones looking for quick ways to get rich and want to double their money quickly or go affect offers that are too good to be true. And the ones that lack knowledge are the newbies.
They are aiming for quicker ways then find themselves losing their investment, after that they will cry out loud and blame this industry. They even call this chain as scam, most of those who are careless investors who did not manage to study and understand the market will continue being victimized.

every human is greedy but to different extents. newbies are usually easily tricked and fall for scam because they cant really say if its true or not. they are majorly moved by the offers and great profits. these also move greedy people when they see offers that are too good to be true. they dont even want to know or research about the project, they just give in.this is simply mental laziness.

The points raised in the OP does not only apply in the crypto world but in activities of our daily living. People who are creedy mostly end up getting scammed since they easily fall for cheap lies and enticement by scammers. We need to pay careful attention to all projects and the goodies they promise so we don't fall victim.

Greed is the cardinal point behind scam not all scams though. But when it comes to ICOs and IEOs, greed comes to play but when it comes to loss of wallet keys, it's always carelessness or lack of knowledge of privacy and trust issues. Getting scammed in cryptocurrency spans across different reasons

The real thing that makes people get scammed us out of greed as you said. Some will see profits and wouldn't take it and many would join projects out if hype from users. I could remember back then a friend got scammed because someone referred her to a project she knows nothing about, when she joined groups and saw people hyping it she thought it was a good one not knowing they were paid for the hype and she ended up being scammed. Know what you are going into before proceeding.

They don't known how to control myself from enticement bait, basically the maximum amount investors are fall down on their irresistible greedy mentality at the point a fisher man would be able to caught all steps of a investor. so that reason they are easily scammed. Be careful. Thank you for your post.

The number 1 is the greediness, some people are really like to earn money in a easy way, they don't know what they are invested but their mind is to make money in just a few days. Most victimized of scams were newbies.

The greed makes new investors always stuck with scam projects. They need to go through some scam projects and then they will have experience in this market. I have a few new friends who are new to this market, they didn't listen to my advice and until now they have lost most of their money investing in IEO projects at bullshit exchanges. They need to fail to gain experience in this market although I have given many advice before

Geedy and don't have enough knowledge why many people are getting scam , being greedy is not good because most of the time greediness will to turn into to lose of what you have. Knowledge is very important because once you have that you can have ability to clarify if the project is scam or not . If we avoid some bad characteristics we can get avoid losing too.

Scammers are always ready to scam peoples whatever or whenever. But people who scammed is equally reasonable. If they are new in investing then first they need to learn where to invest & keep safe their money with secure income.But bottom line is peoples are so gred when they are new in investing arena. They invest in dumb project then lost money then they learn. Seems like people didn't want to learn before making mistakes.

Well said! I was most often times a victim of scam not because of greed, but lack of knowledge in my early years and also trust in purchase of hardware assets on otc groups as well as cryptos. I however efficiently gotten better down the years. But with that been said, greed and desire to get rich quickly remains a major contributing factor on why people easily get scammed

I feel like we are under a security race... The hackers are getting new methods for scam and sophisticated ways of social engineering, and new schemas and sites borns every day. So, with smart people behind the scams and dumb people on the internet trying to get free money that's the perfect environment t have tons of peoples getting scammed easily.
But don't worry, once they get scammed they learn the lesson. No one says Bitcoin lessons would be cheap.

I can't think greedy can be a point to got we scam. We invest for profits, I have some demand and Target point this can't be a greedy even I want to hold how long I wanna hold. Main point should be knowledge about the project. By this you will know that offering product really possible with this team members. You can see every year we can trust few projects, you have to just for it.

That is true, but with IEO this days, projects become less scam, and more trusted
That's only if the IEO takes place or happened on a better exchange, many IEO projects failed because of bad rated exchanges, if team can chose right then they won't fall victim to bad exchanges, binance , Okex, huobi has better rating

One of the reason why lots of people are got scam because of these easily tempted by a big money. And that's one of the reason I found out and experience on the other people, So they easily scam by good of talking and when they see a money he/she invested already and give everything they have. If they are smart Ill think it can aware that kind scam early.
So we need to be careful always if we encountered some of scammers and be smart take time to research.

If you go to Chainx, P2PB2P, Latoken .. I believe you will see huge junk, and most of those projects have failed IEO or become scam after the end of IEO. IEO is only good when you enter the top exchanges in this market

Sometimes big rewards allocation for bounty campaigns are those projects that totally ended a scam. There eyes are only for the price but not considering the fact that it will be a fake project. Today, its easy to create a fake websites, team and even a fake ICO projects. Some people offer a low fees to create this fake project. If we are smart enough to encounter this fake projects we don't fall easily and always ask for legitimate reviews for experts.
