Good question, first and foremost human needs are incertiable and he or she can go extrak mindset to get what is not. Greediness has caused many humans hopeless while some have taken their own life because of greediness. Many obvious scams are still active just because of human  greeds. With these greeds from human we are vulnerable to obvious scams.

People are led to cheat because they don't have enough education. Today we have a very evil community and all the old-timers of the cryptocurrency industry are ready to earn even very little money but to deceive a beginner. Therefore, after the newcomers see the first deception, they leave this community. We created this situation ourselves. Therefore, it is time to introduce blockchain training in schools or universities. This education should be provided at the request of the student. If this does not happen, we will all switch to Bank stabilcoins and we will not be able to dream of any decentralization.

What can traders do if cryptocurrency market crashed. Either try to learn trade in any market or neither send money to anyone. Victim of scam people don't want to trust again in form. ICO is dying for trust although here is all problem for crash market. After someone hype publicity, all people are sending money to trade bonus.

Such investing projects and traders who raise money in that way are as old as the world, guys. These schemes are always the same - and people are still greedy and foolish. The only way to avoid it - is to become smarter. Do it yourself and let others make these mistakes and gain their own experience Smiley

My only way of getting into crypto projects is through research and making sure they have a good product. Scammers are very good at doing a lot of things to get a lot of money, they're going to post pictures of other people and visit when there are new team members to be able to convince potential investors. This often happens and I think new investors will have to be vigilant if they want to invest in new ventures. If not they will probably lose all their money sooner or later.
Well, we are often confused by the number of new projects that have such a system and many new projects that have large exchanges with responses will enter the market so investors will be interested because tokens have a good future. we have to go into details so that we don't get caught up in projects that can trick us.

And I read one guy from Reddit getting victimized from an Elon Musk giveaway of $3000, that's a huge amount here in this part of the world, this is both ignorance and greed, if you have these two in Cryptocurrency, you will end up a pauper, the guy did not even verify if the offer, which is too good to be true.

-snip~The only way to solve this is with improved education—but that's very difficult considering the industry has no centralized force behind it.
But new investors now only want to receive profits instantly without prioritizing broader knowledge about how to invest in crypto properly.
they only rely on free or paid signal channels, which makes them lazy to learn it thoroughly.
what you say is true now many new investors have jumped into the world of trading and they only use signals from other people they trust and sometimes there are people who invest in others to trade and share profits

I think people always become a victim of scam because they are have lack of knowledge about crypto transactions. And most of the time people are too greedy to accept the impossible too good offer in trading specially in social media like twitter. So I can say that ignorance is cause of scam that are now continue to increase.

why are many people still victims of fraud even though it seems obvious? it's simply because people are lazy to read and find information about it. some people who are easy victims are those who prioritize bonuses and others. however, if they read carefully, and know what they are investing in, it can make them easy to become victims. Well, this year I hope reading can be a hobby, and prioritize things before investing

Same ignorance has been frequently used by scammers. Knowing / understanding the emotions of newbies and greedy investors scammers managed
to offer things that those people are unable to resist, even there's already a big sign of not to invest this people are willing to take the risk and engaged
hoping that luck permits them to go first and acquired good benefits.

Because of urgent needs, hurry and greedy lust.  Be tempted by bessr offers but make you forget to think that is the consequence that can make people get hit by a scam from someone or a project.

An economist once said, that human wants is insatiable. Wants fueled by greed. That's is the major reason why people fall easily to scam. If you are contented, them maybe, you can look before your leap before investing in any venture.

Secondly, bad reading culture. This is a crucial problem too. Knowledge begets wisdom
This also happens because people do not want to work hard to get what they want, if you see a rich person the first thing you think is that you would like to have what they have but you never imagine how hard they had to work to get where they are, people just want to be rich but do not want to make the effort to be rich and they are always looking for ways to do this, scammers know this and they offer those opportunities knowing many people are going to fall into their trap and instead of becoming rich they will lose the small amount of money they had.

It is enough if someone convinces people that he is a good trader and earns money for them. Usually it works like a pyramid. Simulated earnings are paid out of payments from program participants. At the end, all the money collected from the participants contributions will disappear along with the organizer. This is classic ponzi cheme. Unfortunately, but in my opinion the main reason that people are fooled is their own greed.

It is really hard to understand why they still been caught for this action. Coz I don't believe that they don't have knowledge about crypto and also scamming issues. For the fact that a person offers big rewards and ROI in just a short period of time? Ain't wondering that it could be true and that is obviously a scam, maybe we are not blinded enough not to see it. Or maybe because of the name( a very known person) that gives them a way to believe which is eventually fake.

I have only one explanation: scammers come across only inexperienced people. They come to crypto and don't know the security rules. So they are the easiest victims.

While it is obvious that a person that has no experience with cryptocurrencies is going to make many mistakes when it comes to their security I do not really think that is the explanation, scammers are not the same as hackers, hackers have great knowledge about the technology and they can steal your coins by getting control of your computer, that is not what scammers do, what they do is to convince you to send your coins to them and this happens because people want to make a lot of money without the effort to match it.

There will also be quite scams that have the ambition to make easy money. Of course, I'm not saying you can't make easy money. But in general it is difficult to make money. In a short period of time, there is a peculiarity in this case, which promises a huge profit.

Some people are newbies and do not know anything about certain scams. I remembered when I started in crypto world, I visited a certain site, I view ads and I am paid 22 satoshi or less, I viewed an ad and it was about mining and I was offered to pay 0.2 satoshi to get 0.5 satoshi. The offer was too fake to be real and I did not do it.
Some people will be attracted to it and would just be scammed because people just like double offers.

Unfortunately, but the most common reason is greed, then stupidity. People are persuaded to give money to strangers just because they promise them an amazing profit. Usually, when something looks too good, it is a scam, but unfortunately greed takes away the possibility of reasonable thinking and ends up with losing their money.
