A total of 53 bitcoin? Man that was crazy. How persuading the scammer words might be. That wasn't easy to earn. Going back to the topic, it was greed and probably a lack of knowledge about this kind scheme a major factor why people seemed to fall with fraudulent ambitions. If people would mind to explore not only on how to earn but as well how to avoid some problems like this, it might lessen foolish persons towards handling crypto currency.

That was a lot and money is really something that a person will be tempted to do that kind of stuff. As for me, those who were scammed are new in ths business since the old timers knew about this kind of scam and of course, these people just want to earn though they like it in an easy way.

Basically they just stupid. Those funds would do well for projects that need the funding but instead, they sit in a scammers wallet who is now enjoying life without needing to ever work again and people gave that to the scammer. The allows the scammer to take their money. Scammers don't deserve to live that way so I wish people would just stop it. It's pathetic how stupid people can be. Seems if you not promising massive returns no one is interested.

The day people will understand that's crypto is not a quick money scheme or free money then we will see reduction in terms of scams as people just need money without hardwork and that's when cunning scammers scam these lazy people with their money. We need to learn about crypto and how it works before investing into it or believing anyone who claims to trade on behalf of us and give us profit.

Or maybe some of the old timers turned into scammers. Because of their wide experience, they come up with an idea to scam the new ones. The new ones only came in order to earn money. It is very common that people always learn the hard way. This is why scammers still exist.

in this case I think there is nothing to blame. I mean this, that most lay people or involved in social media campaigns do not care whether the project will be scam or not, because the most important thing for them is to register and participate in it. on the one hand if someone knew from the start that the project would be a scam, certainly they would not bother participating in it.

but although there are many who explain about the sites and also the characteristics of the project or platform fraud but surely there are still people who are deceived. so mistakes are always made repeatedly and prevention is only a warning, maybe we do have to have a strong regulation to limit projects that have no clarity and also reduce fraud in crypto

looks similar to what ever happened on bitcoin fund-manager site, but this time more into the category of personal investment, people like this can usually influence investors' minds with their best analysis, let alone labeled with xmas promos that are very promising. I am not sure that most of their investors are stupid beginners, they budgeted some capital to try it, because they are accustomed to such investments.

I don't think any old member of crypto will fall for such scam. Gone are the days when people do fall for this kind of things. It dosent work anymore. Any new member to crypto must first find a way to detect scam. This is my advise to every newbie.

Why do people still fall victims to obvious scams? Especially on twitter people are still sending bitcoin to traders, no one is a perfect trader, do not send bitcoin or other coins to people to trade for you, its stupid and foolish idea

https://coinnewstelegraph.com/bitmex-bitcoin-fund-manager-exit-scams-before-christmas/

Pls stop, there is no such thing as easy money, its either you learn or you quit or else you will keep losing money

Greed.

Primary reason why do people do keep falling into these kind of scams.Even its way too obvious but people do still let themselves blinded by their
greed and proceed neither they are fully aware on the risk or not or just simply too lazy to learn trade up or any other works for themselves
which in result on letting other people handle out their funds.

some people are not aware of the risks that they will accept, maybe the experience in cryptocurrency is still lacking, I myself first got to know ICO I lost 20% of my funds and the result I leave from ICO

Some people still fall victim because they are unaware of the different method scammers use to scam people, they don't know what to look out for, while others is as a result of greed, even when they realize such offer sounds too good to be true they will still attempt it, people should be more careful.

Being a victim is in the nature of some individuals. It's like butterflies flying into the light and dying. People smell money and lose their heads because of this. Unfortunately, it often turns out to win one dollar, and spend a hundred.

If noone is scammed, the scammers would look for another way. Otherwise, why the same scenario every day everywhere?

But I did not understand the 53BTC theme. How and where did owner find such amounts? Does not he know he should not trust anybody with that amount? That means that there could be newbie's with 53 BTC...  Huh

Because mostly they don't do any research and a second problem is they need money and they think is so easy to get fast money, they don't think if will be so easy to get money most people on the world will be rich and only few people might still go on their jobs.

People just want a quick profit and don’t understand that if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Even regular exchanges can scam us as well. I’ve been a victim of an exchange that went out of business.

I believe it's only greed and the desire to make quick cash that actually make them fall victim and it's really funny to believe that you can actually send coin to someone online to trade for you and give you return, someone you don't have any knowledge of

Humans can be greedy and ignorant at the same time. Our lack of knowledge and our desire for instant reward for a little to no effort, can brought us to fall to the hands of the perpetrators. Soon enough, it will be 2020 and there will be new trends. And with these new trends, new ways of scams will be spread out so expect that there will be  new "victims" again.
