Why do people easily get scammed on the internet?

[CryptoInsights]

Scam are successful when we are finding a way to get out of our financial insecurity. This can even happen like offering remote works and not paying off after the work. As you mentioned that it is all possible on internet. Even though you have a MOU between both the parties even then you can be scammed.

[LouVandetta]

The main reason is they want an easy money. When they heard the ROI that is very high, they were just giving away their money to temptation.

They don't even bother to do some research first. And when they got scammed then they knew that they were too greedy and hungry for money.

If you think you're smart, well, scammers might be a little bit smarter than you are.

To answer the OP question, we have many reasons:

- People always greedy, what do you think about free airdrop or something? That's a rat trap, you still to get money but not too much as you expected.

- The scammers always smart, yeah, you know. They are good to find a new trick. So, you must get into the trap many times before you can dodge that. No pain no gain.

indeed one that makes many people easily fooled because it is usually greedy and easily influenced by something on offer that he thinks can provide many benefits, and usually the experience is still lacking too much to make many people easily fooled as happens a lot around you.

Please also include that other people get easily scammed because of their IQ, they are not that smart to understand what scam is, they easily trust people and that is all they know, it is very unfortunate but yes, there are people like that, they need guidance most of the time. People like this use their heart instead of their brain, because that is all what they have, and scammers like these kind of people because they are easy money for them.

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

Never analyze about some ICOs or altcoin project before investing, many people just get recommendation from the other to invest with some altcoin or ICOs project, never check details about how trusted or ICOs project for investing, will give opportunity to earn profit or lost money with ICOs, just trust with some one ask him for investing there and never want to get reviews first with their project investment.

They do not study and not being so careful to the steps they take. They should study first what I mean is that if you want to invest in some ICO. You should know first their whitepaper since the plan is all stated there. There are lots of scammers out there so we should be aware of our moves and decision because they are offering good things that are not true so dont trust anyone you dont know just because they are offering. In terms of trading you should be careful on the website you are using or the trading site you are using because not all of them are trusted.

I am not so sure this is about the IQ of someone, this is about the trusting nature of people, if you ask a question to a person and you get an answer you tend to believe that whatever you are told it is the truth.

I know that this is being very naive but most people are like that, so when they see a project promising all kind of stuff they tend to believe it is the truth even if we know that most likely a project that makes all kind of amazing promises is never going to deliver.

There are a lot of offers on the Internet about quick profit. This is used by scammers. The cryptocurrency market also has many offers to make money quickly. Each investor must learn and understand the offers with which he plans to work and invest in them. And many people do not understand and invest their money in dishonest projects. Therefore, they lose money. Be careful. Good luck to everyone in business.

Desires to make one dream come true can be a weak point most times if care is not taken, this can easily wake greed in us because greed is a living part in all humans just as we all have fears, scam moves are always too good to be real, if you belief this short word of mine you will withstand any tempting offers from scammers

Yes, it is greed that makes them fooled easily by scammers. These group of people or syndicate use the internet as one of the easiest platform to scam people. The users or investors are not that vigilant for these kind of people, what they are looking for is the quick-scheme offered without doing anything but have high ROI.

That's right. Many people take advantage of this where greed will make that person easy to get into the trap. Especially for new investors who do not understand and understand what cryptocurrency is, which makes it easy for them to be interested in what others have to say, not only new investors, investors who have also been getting scams for a long time because they are lazy to do their research. be alone and only participate based on what other people or their friends say.

When something sounds too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true, unfortunately due to economic hardships or other reasons, people are desperately wanting these investment opportunities to be true no matter how absord they look and they back up with false faith with monetary investments and in the long term, they turn into victims of scams, people should always bear the golden rule of online investments in mind... If it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true.

Personally, I think that all newcomers will fall for the bait of scammers. And for scammers, this is the best source of income. So beginners should be very careful and not give in to easy ways to make money on the Internet. Since a person loves a freebie and do nothing. And it is precisely these people who are in trouble on the Internet. So to avoid scammers you need to consult with people who already have extensive experience on the Internet.

This era is where the boomer generation whos already have much money then want to greedy multiply their money with the internet and get baited by the internet ads. So i think this era will end in the future. Kids right now are already involved with tech since childhood so when they grow up they won't trust scams anymore.

The internet does have quite a lot of freedom, so there are quite a lot of scams with the internet. plus the ability of users is also not good that can make these people trapped in fraud. maybe because they are not looking for complete information, and easy to believe that can make them fall into the scam

[bakasabo]

People are easily scammed on in the Internet because of the rule "easy come, easy go". It is so easy to earn on the Internet (comparing to some other professions) and people are very relax doing purchases online or sending money. People are more easy to be caught off guard.

Main scam presence reason is people's greed of course, that's true
Not only investor's greed, but also ICO admin's one, heh
The other reason is lack of regulation and proper laws in this sphere, that's the other big factor.

Following Your logic, you can consider all investors-greedy.But this is not the case.Investors, having the funds for investments, invest them and wait for profit. I'm not talking about fraudulent projects, but for working projects, investors are the air for them.As for the scammers, I can say that people peck at them for various reasons.Someone became interested in the project, and someone decided to make money quickly.

[felissss500@gmail.com]

most fraudsters when they do a project do not bother much even in the design of the project. Or, initially, the promise of profit is fabulously inflated. probably 85 percent. if you just be careful, you can pass by

The reason people get scammed on internet is because of greed. So greedy people can't think logically and clearly, therefore it is very
susceptible to fraud. Provided that it is rewarded by a large fee a greedy person will be immediately attracted. So control yourself from
greed, then you will not easily enter the trap of a fraudster. Investigate an offer reward to be good to be true. Because the scammers
character from the past until now hasn't changed much, they definitely offer a big reward and instant to get. If you find something like
that do not immediately believe, who knows it's fraud.

The lack of references, the lack of learning and the large number of irresponsible people seems to be only a small fraction of what can be done on the internet, I agree because many investors do not want to bear a large enough risk to invest here, therefore we need to consider and prepare strategies we are to avoid scamm

That is why being good at analyzing things is a must for all of us, not only in the internet but on everything here on earth. When you can analyze you can certainly identify if a certain project or anything you know you can get rewarded is just a scam or not and to add it self-control is paired up with good analyzation because like what you've said greed can lead us into being a victim of scammers and also when you really cannot analyze if a project is a scam or not and you really want to have that money thats when self-control will take place, it will tell you that it is better to lose that project than to be scammed by someone  in the internet.
