the limited knowledge or laziness of someone who makes himself easily fooled, I urge all of you, including internet users or crypto forums to always be careful because scamers are always around us. if you let your guard down, your money will disappear quickly. Con artists always like someone who is off guard. so always protect yourself in this digital industry.

people who are easily fooled are people who are greedy in terms of profit and it is used by scammers to make projects with investment offers or other products that provide huge profits but it will not fit the concept because their initial goal is to deceive many with the project

Many individuals think of the internet as a get rich quick scheme and once they are exposed to any form of investment promising high ROI, witjout a second taught they jump onto it, you and I as well know how this will end? In a nutshell, GREED is a factor

This is an important point that we must understand. There is no instant success, everything needs a process. Do not easily believe in offers with high investment value after you send a number of funds, it is fake. Make sure you check and analyze it, choose a platform that is truly trusted if you want it. How to? of course by studying the cryptocurrency ecosystem well, learning from trusted friends, that way you will get a lot of lessons and important information.
Get rid of feeling lazy, although cryptocurrency provides many opportunities to take profit, if we don't know the right key then it's useless.

There are lots of people that you get their trust easily especially those who are new to trading in the internet. They lack the knowledge of faking accounts, emails or the basic info and most of the times they are primary target of scams.

I'm not generalising but it's most applicable to everyone. We lose our guards, we forget to think, we start believing everything we're told, that's how we get scammed. We look for easy way out of financial distress we believe lies by scammers to multiply our funds within a short time frame which never happens.

Majority of us just want to be rich overnight without putting in any difficult effort so we easily fall for any cheap proposals that offers us lucrative and tempting deals. By the time you realize, you will be already scammed. Not all that glitters are gold. This is what we should always have at the back of our minds

I could go on and on with so many reasons, but one of them is Laziness, because some people don't want to work but they want to get rich over night and as such they get involved and before you know it, they have been scammed. I think Greed could also be seen as a factor here, aiming for too much, yet you are lazy.

laziness is indeed the main reason because they do not want to read articles that discuss the security of funds owned. as long as they don't want to learn to avoid scammers then they will continue to get caught up in scammers, I think for newbies it might still have a lot to learn but for seniors should be more careful in researching

Internet been too powerful like social media that can manipulate anything, we can create any thing believable through copy paste and editing. And this way there will be able to attract many investors to scam. That's why before risking our money we must not be too amazed that will lead us to nowhere. Think before we trust and give our money. When we know we already do our research that's the only time we can continue. Sometimes on the spot thinking worsening the situation. Take time to analyse and think.

Because people invest immediately without proper research. Investing on something impulsively and without sufficient knowledge about the coin and its history get people scammed.

[Insomnia family]

Another reason is because many people are lazy to learn and have no knowledge in the internet world. in this case especially new people who are easily fooled on the internet because they do not have basic knowledge. Therefore, before you start a business in this industry do not rush to take decisions, do detailed research every decision you want to take.

Well most of the investors these days are only focus on getting profit and not looking deeply on the importance or worth of the project in the future, once they got promised to have a better returns they just easily throw their money without doing any research and later they will complain in the community because they were deceived which in fact its their own fault.

Many people still trust various freebies in which you need to invest first and then you can get a huge amount of money, but unfortunately this is a common scam and the biggest problem is that people believe in various frauds and easily give their money to scammers, so there’s nothing to be done.

Maybe one of them is the factor of greed. When people are greedy, sometimes they don't think about the security of the websites they visit or are hooked to click on suspicious links. I agree that we do not need to rush into making decisions and be patient if market conditions are not good

[Genemind]

The reason why we have to learn everything about crypto is to be aware of its risks and to get rid of scammers. We can't eliminate scammers but we can do something to avoid them. Awareness and knowledge would give us the capability to determine scam and fraud projects. We should also be mindful and careful in all our actions here in the crypto world

People get scammed easily because some people are extremely lazy and don't  want to work to get money. Laziness alongside greediness  makes people follow the wrong source  just because the offer to be given is of huge amount and the amount to be invested is little.

Dude this is legit. Because of their laziness, they want to earn easily and want to invest with those investment scams that tells them that they have guaranteed profit. But we all understand that when an investment scheme which isn't known promises an amount of return, be scared of it. A start up project is still on the sideways of their business and there's no way for them to give the returns of their investors with promised amounts.

it’s very difficult for new people in this market to get the necessary knowledge because there are too many “professionals” around and people don’t know whom to trust
