Most of the time the victims are just newbies that doesn't have any knowledge in altcoins or cryptocurrency. If your going to think about it having someone to trade for you is obviously a scam but they are newbies so we cant complain. They are just getting carried away by the profit , a lot of newbies or newcomers in cryptocurrency is already expected a very big profit. I think what we could just do is to guide them from this kind of scam or investment.

Because people are gullible and want to make money quickly without realizing that they are at great risk. And this applies not only to beginners. I have a friend who constantly gets involved in dubious projects and does not learn from my own experience.

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

Today a bitcoin trader on twitter exit scam and delete all traces off social media, i heard its about 53bitcoin, here is the link to the news

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
Some always got scam because they want to get profit instant and they are want big profit so many are fall in social media they gonna believe that they are legit. Some are taking risk because of good promises so they fall into wrong person then after they got scam. So be smart search well and do trade at your self don't trust others because some are lier.

There is only one strong reason why people can still fall victim to obvious scams, because of greed. This is what makes some people not
can think logically.Indeed right is very human if we have a sense of greed in life, but try we can control it.If it will not be very dangerous,
greed not only makes us easily fooled but we will also suffer losses when trading. And one more thing people easily fall victim to obvious
scam, because they want instant profits.

I think it is:

1)
Lack of exposure and proper understanding about cryptocurrency in general. Scammers can tell them anything and they will believe.

2)
Laziness and urge to make easy money withput putting the work by doing proper research

3)
Most importantly, it is greed! They see investment opportunities that are too good to be true and still go ahead because of Greed. Greed Kills

I'm a victim of this circumstance so am going to sound exactly how I felt that moment... You know that it's a scam Coin but you feel you could make a little profit before it disappear so you are trying to play smart with a scam Coin sometimes it work out well but some times it doesn't.

I think people who do this are aware of the risks involved. Sending Bitcoin to someone to trade for you isn't a bad idea but the person should be a well recognized and traceable individual with solid agreement and not someone that doesn't have a tail to trace.

Because people to earn without doing anything and they see this kind of scheme as a passive income which is not. The risk of investing in some traders are very high cause there is no guarantee in trading. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Hope people will learn from this mistakes and stop this kind of investing.

Usually they are lazy people, who just want to get rich quickly without doing anything so that when there is a scammer who offers a concept, he will be easily lured. Trading Bitcoin is risky but you have to choose the right Exchange for that, don't be greedy, because greed will make you lose everything.

Personally, I believe that fraud has always been and will always have to be combated. There are a large number of users who want to make money very easily. But unfortunately this is not for everyone. And there is such a group of people who are looking for simpletons on the Internet. And scammers put their hoes in the form of easy money. And beginners fall for such traps and lose their money. So be very careful about different types of earnings.

Greed is the most common reason why people still fall for scam projects. They are hoping that they will get easy money if they will support such projects. But maybe true for some if you have got the right entry and exit, but most of the time, they are just deceiving users to rip them off. Even veterans are still being screwed by those smart scammers.

This is because they only know about bitcoin and other crypto currencies so even when they are victimized they still risk money because of the huge profits here especially when you are in the pioneering stage. It's best to stop investing in them because we are helping scammers to victimize newbies.

At first they open a free trading signal group, when so many people
are attracted with them they stop giving free signal and offer to join
paid signal group.

When some people join to paid signal group, a few months they worked faithfully.
After gaining the trust of the people they are asking money for trading and offer to take percentage.
At last they disappear with peoples money and people got scam.

this is because people who are a newbie in this crypto industry they want to earn easy profit and think they will be next crypto billionaire overnight. they don't research the project and directly put their hard-earned money into the shit project and lost all the more. proper guidance and knowledge are required in this field also. first, learn then earn.

You nailed the point, scammers don't rush to take the money. Wolf in ship's clothing.. The turning point is interesting because there is no matter to continue the paid signals if they can't make money anymore with the subscription fees.
well trading signals can indeed have an effect but for those who already have experience about trading signals that sometimes trap them will not be easily affected, so I think the point is the lack of experience makes them often exposed to scams.

Hope people will learn from this mistakes and stop this kind of investing.
The major reason is that they want big money with small work and investment and this is what scammers target. They offer such deals where investors can become rich in short time and this intrigues majority of the naïve investors. Those who are pro investors, they never fall for such scams rather they work on legit projects that demand a real hard work and devotion for the market. Seasonal investors usually get scammed.

There won’t be any scamming if greed and evil vanish from people’s mind and that is impossible we all know. Scamming is simply a corruption and we all know that whole world is fighting this evil in one way or another. Indeed, sluggish and slops want to make money by sitting idle and they often fall prey to useless offers which apparently offer big money but they don’t have any creditability.
