Why do people easily get scammed on the internet?

[judeafante]

I can only speak for myself because I have been scammed several times and the big factor is greediness, because I was easily deceived when people starting to show their payment proof and their income from a particular program, it's to late when I find out that they are early birds or have been paid to promote their program, this is a newbie mistakes that all mistakes gone through.

Oh well most of the victims are like this, they are rushing everything and never paying attention to possibilities that things are prone to scam instead, they are jumping into conclusion that everything will work out and opportunities should never be wasted. Scammers are very good with promises they've mastered the skills of attracting their prey and grabbed right away once victims shown interest.

I agree if greed falls into the category of why people are easily fooled right now. Indeed the fact is, people who have experienced losses due to fraud usually see large profits going forward. Though the benefits are no guarantee, only a promise from the project. Though the fact that in crypto all that there is no guarantee, a sweet promise is not enough. This is what often people enter into a fraud scheme because of the sweet promise of the project developer.

The answer you gave was too far off the question in this topic, what was asked was Why is it easy for people to be cheated on the internet? if the answer from me is because it's easy to believe in new things offered by people who are not known, so the potential for fraud is very open.

If we consider the entire Internet that fraud in it is minimal, laws have long been introduced that control many activities within the global network. Now fraud has long blossomed in the cryptocurrency industry. The reason for this is the absolute anonymity of community members and the indifference of regulators.

There were many peoples has been scammed because they didn't know well about the project they invested.
Other possibility is they has been approached by the scammer who impersonating other else, offering some quick money investments.
Never trust anyone who you don't know yet on internet, it can saves you from scammers.

They trusted the team and the project because of their project, people gets easily hype because of it, I don't know why some people are really procrastinate or lazy enough to do their own research then when they found out that they were scammed, then that time they will do research and rant to the project and to the team about their promise.

Because there are a lot of people on the Internet who seems to be very vulnerable when it comes to scamming. They know what people wants and they will use it to scam others. Very small example is online selling. A lot of people likes to buy online but some seller are not really legit. They'll attract you and when you already send money to buy their products, no product will come to you. Because not everyone on the internet are all smart users. Not everyone needs to be intelligent about the internet, they just want it for entertainment but others are using their weakness to take advantage of it.

I think being lazy about research is not one of the most experienced things, I think many of the investors do not yet know the procedures for conducting research, in other words they are wrong in researching a project. I think it takes continuous practice to perfect our analysis to better predict a project

We are easily fooled in the internet world because there are so many tempting offers that we easily fall into it, and the inaccurate factor in evaluating an offer is also very influential, and the most influential because many people have already gotten lucrative results so that we are easily fooled with the scamer project.

The scammers take advantage of the weak nature of human greed so that sometimes they make offers that actually make no sense but they still believe the fools of investors. they should be more careful in finding more appropriate projects because now there are so many scam projects

[Ararbermas]

It is because they are relying on other ppl thoughts and sometimes easily fall on some sort of false information and promises reason they easily get scammed as well.  And as the matter of fact this is very common problem even before.  wherein until now also there's is no development and still happening on some investors , especially those still hoping that can make profits without spending much money with crypto currrency.  They didn't realize how much money they spent on it after how money times they got scam.  Instead investing on some finished projects wherein ensured.

Greed for unreasonable profits, easily manipulated, lack of information technology knowledge. These three things that make a scammer easily get prey, we talk about the mindset of a scammer. They tend to attack people who have a deficiency in these three things. so as long as the victim does not have these three things, then the scammer will not get anything.

[Aabcde]

There are many factors actually why someone is hit by a scam. What I highlighted are 2 things, first, they are certainly tempted by many results. It is undeniable that everyone will want to earn a lot of money easily. This is what was finally used by scammers. Second, the lack of exploring the projects to be invested. That way we will only be stuck in the same hole.
Scammers always have many ways to fool victims. Always be careful!

Not every one that got scammed on the internet is as a result of greed, some make a lot of research yet they still got scammed. Don't forget that scammers are also reading your post and they are also coming up with new strategies every day.

What is Scam?
Scam is a dishonest scheme that is carried out by an individual or groups of persons in mode of taking away something that is valuable to others. Those who perform these acts are reffered to as scamers.

How do people get involved, how easily are people scammed and reasons?

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

Secondly the inability to conduct research and make real findings on our own. All this as a result of laziness.

Add yours!!

I entreat all of us to be on the look out for scan projects, make our findings and proof beyound doubts their scam intentions and also avoid been greedy when making an inveatment

Most people get a scam project because they don't make observations and analyzes about the project they are going to follow and greed to get big profits can also be one of the factors that support someone to participate in the project without thinking. So, I think it all depends on each of us, how we are more careful before participating in a project to avoid or minimize the possibility of getting a project scam.

I think so many people are rushing on the internet, even when they are still new investors. Well, I also have a story about this. many people see it so easy to generate income through crypto, because of that they want to try it. however, they were in too much of a hurry and that they got the HYIP site. for new investors,  HYIP is something interesting. imagine, making hundreds of percent profit in a short amount of time, of course it makes people want to invest (I've done this before).

seeing other people can do it, they think that HYIP is a pretty good way, and fast, and the result is of course they are disappointed. the point of this is, why people get fooled so quickly is because they trust the ads so quickly to make profits in a short amount of time without learning about what the site is doing.

[lousie9]

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.

[lienfaye]

Lack of knowledge and greed. Some people are not careful when investing, they easily believe the too good to be true offer and didnt conduct a research.

Sometimes they are just following the trend like the bull run on 2017. Many investors lose their money after investing in crypto at peaked price then panic sell after the price declined, not being patient to wait is one of the problem of investors.

Of course, the basis why the people get scammed is greed and the desire to make quick profits. Another motivation is the desire to protect your assets from inflation. Therefore, whoever has a free couple of hundred  dollars will invest them in the projects without regret in case even of failure of project or scam.For example-the sad experience of Mavrodi's Pyramids didn't teach people.They again and again invest their accumulations in the such projects.
