Maybe you can add, lack of knowledge about technology. Most people has the money to invest but lacks knowledge on what and where they are going to be involved to. Not understanding the whole scope of the project, the purpose and it's potential. Also, you can add greed, most investors aim for profit, that is why scam developers create a project that shows a good profit acheme to attract greedy investors.

Its indeed true, the lack of knowledge is the inability to read and make findings, dont you think if you are not good at technology its best to seek fimancial advice from a reliable person who understands better?

[Anonylz]

You have said it all, there is little or nothing to add after that , the reason why people get scammed so easily both online or offline (yes people get scammed offline too) is because of lack of understanding and most especially greed, if you let yourself carried away by the enticing offers given by this con-artist then you will be scammed even before you know it,

when people don't have the right knowledge to detect lies from truth is another issue, some people are so naive that they will believe anything they hear or see without asking question or doing small digging to know more, scammers are very creative and smart so it requires more knowledge and observation to identify them,
people should equip their self with the right knowledge to stay safe,   Knowledge they say is power.

There are a few main factors:

1. GREED, always at first place
2. FOMO (Fear of Missing out), because of FOMO most people skip the part where they need to make due diligence before giving away cash/coins
3. Inexperience/Lack of knowledge. "A friend of mine told me he's a crypto-guru and this project is pure gold. I don't know what I'm doing, but I will give my money to get rich overnight!" attitude.

When you combine all factors, you have a very easy targets.

There are big lessons to learn about the internet and there is no way to stop innocent people from falling into internet traps until they learn themselves, i have my own principles and i believe that nothing comes easily in this world, when people are been given offer that are too good to be true they never think about where the money is coming from, the greed won't make them think

[nicecrypto]

Because many people have this perception of getting rich or getting easy money quickly, the internet is full of bad and good and if care is noth taking you can easily fall for scam project, or investment sites that will promise to give you good returns if you invest so&so amount,

people should be careful with what they believe,
Some people will post screenshot of their investment and the profit they made, this will entice innocent people and they will put money then the next minute the site is gone, they have fall victim of scam.

Maybe I think it's because they like it too, So even risky they'll come in because they know they'll make a huge profit if they don't get scammed right away. They want to have Easy money like gambling!
No one is going to invest in promises that will deliver a huge ROI in just one week!

[mersal]

Because of their greediness.

Because of their stupidity.

But why people choose internet to scam people is they can hide with someone's identity and also they even can hack devices and makethings without the owner's authorization.

Every investor needs to remember assured High ROI is likely a scam.

Its like buying a new gadget you aren't familiar with and throw away the manual script, newbies don't want to learn, they think internet is for those who wants to make quick money, any scammer can easily trick people this days but since they don't want to learn the easy way they will learn the hardway

[Bonenx14]

they sometimes do not know the limits and therefore they try to find as much profit in investment, and stupidly they do not understand the concept of investment so they are trapped when their funds have entered into the investment. and the last one is probably mostly ignorance starting from lazy reading whitepaper and unable to analyze it

One factors could also be an impact is that lack of experience. Knowledge do important to avoid this scheme but experience as well. Ignorance, greed could also be a factors. In order to avoid to be scammed, don't go for a transaction without having any idea regard this. It is better to consult to a person who have experienced or ask some advice to a forum.

Lack of experience is a factor, people are easily attracted to high returns in just short time period and it is one of the reason why they got easily scammed by other people. Having enough experience and knowledge can help us to avoid to get scammed.

People are here for quick money and they are unaware of the dangers that lurks in every corner of the internet either crypto invest or even social media internet dating, there is no such thing as free in the world, one way or the other you will pay so when you come across offers with huge reward you need to turn away

No, not lack of experience but greed. Lack of experience should refrain people from deciding immediately. When you do not know something, what will you do? It is to avoid giving a commitment or making a rush decision. But the story is different when money or the promise of a big profit is offered. When someone is offered a big profit even if he does not know what it truly is, he might jump right into it then and there. It is not lack of experience that pushes him into becoming a victim, it is greed.

Ignorance is what really makes some people fall on scams. Although it's not easy to distinguish a scam scheme, but we should dig deep into where we put our money into and look for license if needed.

We can say they are just lack of knowledge and experience. I'm pointing to the newbies which are after making an easy profit.
They don't even spend their time to learn and understand first before taking any actions, that's why they can easily get scammed in the internet.

1. There are so many people who joined cryptocurrency without proper knowledge yet they are greedy to earn fast.
They join cloud mining and deposit money, what is painful is they also refer their friends.
2. Entertaining someone from the telegram that they don't know personally.
3. Improper way of taking care of their wallet specially private keys.

Indeed. Other people just decide immediately that they just follow other people decisions on where they invest their money, which is not a good way to make decisions because it is the reason why people easily get scammed without knowing and checking everything about the project or in a site.

I think people have became lazier. They want everything to happen over internet. People are used to home delivering food and clothes and they also want to deliver success.
People are looking for ways to double their money. They can't wait long to see their money rise. They'd rather lose it all then wait a long time for it to grow.
Many people involved in online scams do know they risk their money being involved. It's not a difficult task to realize there are no prince in Nigeria, yet we can't resist sending him a $100 so that he could send us a chest full of gold.
