Why do people still fall victim to obvious scam?

[tvplus006]

Unfortunately, the reality of life is that people very rarely learn from other people's mistakes. I think that many of us have somehow fallen for the tricks of scammers and have learned a lot from this experience. I think that everyone will pass this way.

There is a special section on the forum "Scam Accusations", where each participant can be warned about scams. But if you look at the number of views of topics about scams located there, it becomes clear that this section is not popular with participants. Some people go there to complain that they have lost their money, even though they might have seen a warning there in advance.

What is there to be surprised at? Human greed and stupidity are ineradicable. Therefore, this kind of fraudulent operations will be an integral part of the crypto industry. And the closer to the «bullrun» the more scammers will offer naive hamsters profitable investment strategies))

That's right, they are so naive and stupid in this market. They need to meet a few scam projects and then I believe they will quickly recognize and have knowledge about it. I have advised my friends a lot in the past but because of his greed, he was still involved in scam projects and then lost all his money.

I couldn't agree more, for this life to really be balance, there must be some individuals that ought to be naive and they are across every sector and investments options. It seems to be the natural order of things because greed is a born desire in humans and to certain extents,not everyone has control over it

Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it, because there are very strong trusting people and they are ready to transfer their money to scammers even on the worst conditions, so there will always be newcomers and trusting people who can be easily fooled.

Their mind can change anytime based on the situation. I should remind you anything can affect the personal opinion from someone. So many people that have even learned a lot from the past experience can get into the same trap again.  People must try learn to ignore anyone and believe in themselves.

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

I believe this is due to several factors. The first of them is the desire to earn a lot and quickly. Very often there are people who, to the best of their stupidity and lack of knowledge, believe that they are lucky and will now earn quickly. The second problem is not the desire of people to delve into the proposal and study it. In my practice there were such people, I asked them why they do not want to study information, but try to believe everything that they are offered? The answer was this, we don’t want to waste time studying, we just play the lottery, we’re lucky - we’ll be unlucky. To be honest, I don’t understand such people. So it turns out that laziness very often leads people to lose money.

Greediness is one of the major reasons why lots of people are still falling for scam, how on earth will someone promise a 20% return on a daily basis just to trade with your own money, 53 bitcoin is huge I hope he has got nabbed. This is the latest scam out there we've got to extra careful

Yes, and I think that is a very natural thing, because new people who are not yet familiar with the scammer's strategy will obviously be very easy to be fooled by scammers who are already very smart, so for those who already know about this, it's good to always tell to those who are still very new here, so they are not immediately fooled by scammers.

That's because those people are easy to give their trust even in a stranger,

Newbies commonly believe to anyone, since they are new, they are most likely to believe everything that a stranger will say to them. Scammers are wise or smart enough to make fool of newbies, they always have a way just to make money from others.

You know people want easy money, hoping not a scam that they have invested it. Most of the victims were newbies but I hope that those victims learned their lessons to not fall high ROI in just a short time because this offer is mostly scam.

For sure there are always some newbies that are going to fall to this kind of scams since they don't have enough experience.

When I was getting started in cryptocurrency I probably go invest in some scam website because you know it, because it has big profit that you wanted.

There are probably scam websites that you could still earn with an affiliate link so I try investing anyway since I want to profit but end up to the website to close getting all of the funds.

investing in IEO or ICO that is held on an unpopular exchange will make investors regret, yes and new investors of course, because those who have been playing for a long time will not buy IEO that is not clear

[rexxarofmoknathal]

So long as there is an opportunity and new people joining either the internet or the crypto space there will be scams. And they work because people are gullible and want to be getting rich quick without fully understanding what it is they're getting involved with. 

[BeginToMine]

A very sad experience and sad people still fail for such scam. You do not have to give someone you don't know your funds to keep for you or trade for you. Family disappoints talk more of friends or online claimed traders you know nothing about. Guys let's be careful and watchful please.

People want to earn easy money and we know that this doesn't exist, they still think that will earn easy

[Alohadanc3]

In this crypto market there are lots of scammers around. But most of us who are in this market for long time they know how to avoid scammers. Mosi those who are new to this market trapped by the scammers. They want to earn easy profit and end with lose their money to scammers. Sometimes knowledgeable person also could be a victim but that one have to be a big scam
 So whoever you are first do some research on your own before invest anywhere.

[Oyarebu]

Still? It's not like they are targeting crypto veterans. There are new people flowing in all the time who don't have a clue about crypto scammers yet, and greed is hell of a bait for anyone who think that crypto is a fast way to riches, like most of the newcomers think.

Good point, the cryptocurrency has thousands of newborns into the market, and these scammers are well understood the ways to scam the people, though, they are still catching some of these victims because of their greediness which is part of humans weakness. Don't fall for obvious scams that are all around the social medias, be guided.

[Sebas.tian]

Just to get it cheap will always get the humans to see things right anytime without investigate the sources of the gifts. Of a truth, obvious scams are what makes many in this industry fall for scammers, imagine asking the victims to send their hard earned money to get double of their deposits. That's outright greediness on the part of those victims.

[Leah38]

They fall victim due to lack of knowledge and research. They want fast profits that's why they ended joining hyip and scam projects. Investing is risky but through research, you can avoid scam.

[SistaFista]

Well, lets think logically, if they could get big profit with trading, they would just trading with their own money, not asking our money.
We should know that every trading activities have risk and there is no zero risk or guarantee that we will get profit from their trading.

[JeotQ]

If you are new in crypto space and you haven't had any experience about scams you will fall victim one way or the other but not learning from your mistake is wrong because you might fall victim all over again, for newbies no scam is obvious.

The only reason they have such a scam is their greed. They want to get rich quickly in this market so they chose scam projects that offer extremely good offers to make them invest. I believe that after a few times like that they will have experience in this market and will never want to get rich quickly.
