Why do people still fall victim to obvious scam?

[Gunday_07]

Fear what you don't know or understand, they aren't always safe, newbies don't take their time to learn that's why most of them fall for scam projects, how can you invest money on something you don't have a full understanding about? It's complete stupidity

I doubt everyone still falls into this kind of scheme. Probably you were talking on those people who are new in crypto.
A person who have enough knowledge and well-experienced would likely have a low chance to fall in a scam that they already knew. Perhaps they might be fooled by a new kind of scheme but I doubt they will fall into the same trick.
I agreed that there's no such as thing as easy money unless you whereinto gambling but that was a high risk yet a low chance of you to win hence, make an effort to earn your desirable rewards.

how will you learn if you avoid them  . when the first time we hear bitcoin , we do get scared but we are curious so we find ways to learn .  we are thankful that we are here , same thing can happen on others  .

whats unique on here is that we can earn the coin that we like without having to spend money , thats what i did at first  . it helps you to not get scammed and it helps you know if what are scam and what are not .

Most of the people that fall into obvious scam is the people who are greedy and wanted an easy money, some of the scammer make a great offer that always in favor to thier victim and once they can get a money from thier victim they slowly gone. That is why we need to be extra careful to those people who make a huge offer dont trust them most of them are scammer.

greedy people have always been and will be in this market and we will not be able to change anything. Thas why scammers will not disappear anywhere and will continue to steal money from greedy people

It beats my imagination how people could be so gullible to such an obvious scam. Atimes, I feel there may be some sort of voodoo working against their reasoning ability. There are several platforms where bitcoin can be traded and one chooses to trade on twitter where we all know is a hub for Scammers. I only wish that people would learn to be wiser from the news they hear and not repeating the Same mistakes made by others.

The number one reason is lack of idea or knowledge about what they are entering, second, they are greedy but not saying all of them of course. Sometimes, the scammer itself is good in promises together with hype to their community as well, and many get easily believe in it because of these promises by them.

This 99% only happens to people who are new to crypto because for people who already know about crypto would never do such a ridiculous act. Most new people will think that crypto is a place to get rich in a nutshell

Yes, a percent of newbies gullible enough to get tricked by the obvious scam but not for every newbie. Guess even among the group of people that lack experience and knowledge, only a few of them fall for it. Clearly, greed is the only reason for that.

That's what they are looking for and take advantage of the moment to find victims. The rise of new users who make many projects look profitable and commit fraud in a very clear way, of course this makes many people more careful in choosing projects that are clear and good for the future, not looking for quick profits but looking for wise knowledge to learn. further and analyze fraudulent projects, to avoid fraudulent projects.

Actually this forum really helps new users to grow better and seek extensive knowledge for the future to be careful about projects that smell of fraud, not be tempted by lure ...

Dare to accept risk is the best way to achieve success. The smaller the risk we accept, the less likely we are to get a profit and vice versa.

Do you really think so?
All these hackneyed clichés - "who doesn't take risks doesn't drink" - are perfect for telling naive investors about big profits. In fact, everything is more pragmatic - it is a mathematical calculation and the absence of emotional attachment

Right.
1. No basic knowledge is what makes them ignorant of what they are investing in.
2. They saw others profit and even they don't know what the investment is, they'll also fetch that investment.

It seems that the fraud will continue to exist and victims will also be there. That happened because fraud was getting more sophisticated and targeted new people who were still new

 Do not go hard on the victims because victims are victims, they do not want to be victims as you might imagine, so it is just a thing that happens when they least expect it. I mean maybe some people go into something very risky thinking they might get scammed but the upside worths it, so they just wing it with money they can afford to lose, but all those people we hear that loses thousands of dollars and even all their savings and so forth losing all that much money usually doesn't do that because they want to, they are just fooled by some people.

 In any case hopefully one day it will get less, I am not sure how and when but I really hope that one day it gets better. Or at least we could teach people how they could not get scammed that easily, this would allow people to learn about scams and their methods and be more logical about what they are doing.

Yeah in this market there are lots of scammers are here. But the target of them are normally new comers. Cause most of the new comers comes with this attitude that this market is full of profits. And they want to rich overnight. So for this attitude they mostly end up in scams or loss. So the most important thing in this market is knowledge. Better before investment do some research and then go for investment. Only with knowledge you Candace yourself from scams.

[BayAngelo]

IMO, i don;t think it will stop. there will always be newbies in the crypto market and they will always fall for scams. just like how every newbies that wishes to earn or increase his portfolio. there is a tendency that 90% of everyone that traded or owned cryptocurrencies have invested or purchase a token during the initial stage. i think it is part of the learning aspect of cryptocurrencies. the reason why everyone is advised to research properly before investing in any investment.

There was nothing you can stop them but you can mare awareness to newbies that need help about bitcoin with free.. The scammer will also uprade their so they can scam us. So we need to create one page or a banned where we teach newbies about a basic to trade and how to get away from those scammer.

It was hard to stop them there are more spreading everywhere trying to scam from the people new in crypto. Even in the social media like facebook or twitter they are still there hanging to grab people to scam them. We can aware from the scammer if we always be careful of what we doing in crypto must better to ask first to the people around you or a friend that knows everything.

[Baimovic]

people tend to be fooled because they don't research in detail about what they want to invest in, I mean especially for those who misplace their money on bad projects and think that crypto investing can make them rich in no time. and on the other hand, one of them is a lack of knowledge.

[usm2000]

I think that is because they were desperate , and had no idea where in addition to with an offer rogue promising , now many people wanted a quick profit until he wrong stuck fraud

[usm2000]

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

new and new project here that risky OP run day by day so users can see then do try to risk in that even they don't know what will happen to that after few months or in the future then you know if investment related then that really can turn to scam or hack even not obvious so users will go fall by this still you can avoid that like do invest in trusted already example buy Bitcoin

I think, there is no crypto risky and we cannot predict exactly what will happen in next month, if like it is all? investment fraud and not deceptive it as what you think?

[reza7777]

of course because they have no experience in crypto so it's easy to trust people on social media, sometimes those who are smart also look stupid when they get offers that don't make sense (want to get rich quick)
