@akirasendo17 it’s not only the newbies that get scammed sometimes even experienced people like me get scammed out here. I’ll keep my story short: I had to send some $1000 to a friend bank account in USA and accordingly I found a exchange owner out here, and I felt for his sweet talks and send him funds in advance only later on I realised that I was scammed. It was at that juncture I realised that never to send money in advance especially when you’re dealing with crypto’s, and never to stop doing one’s due diligence irrespective of that persons trust.

Scammers are targetting newbies because newbies tend to believe what they've instructed to do because they want someone to teach them the in and out of investing here, and these scammers are like wolves in sheep's clothing ready to impersonate, trusted traders and they are good at making them looks and trusted, but if they will only ask here in this forum they will be enlighten.

Be aware of scammers which means to check everything before taking decision. I mean everything, nearly fell on a scam yesterday.

It's easier to scam newbies and beginners because they are still lacking when it comes to knowledge so others are using that as an opportunity to manipulate and control them, making them believe that those scammers are there to help them. When in fact, they're trying to scam newbies. Newbies are easy to get swayed because when they think opportunities are coming to them.
It's really advisable for beginners to put extra cautious when dealing here in crypto. And since we are not new to this, we can help them to avoid scammers. That's the only thing we can do to help them, educate and aware them about the scams they can encounter here in crypto

[d3nz]

Because they lack in knowledge on how to handle situation like scam attempt or joining HYIP scheme but will exit-scam after thsu gathered a lot of bitcoin and other altcoin. This is why some of new investor are backing out once the've been scammed aftef making a transaction of crypto loan.

And i think when creating a new account there should be a thread they need to read first before they will be able to be in outside again. And I've experienced getting scam for many times but i learna lot of from past experiences that can be used in the future about our life.

Not all newbies creating a thread that they are scammed are all true or did happen. Some of them have experience already and are only wants to scam people by promoting their scam website. There is a thread like that where a newbie lose btc in a site that the newbie provided but thanks to good people who searches the website's information and they found out that it is a scam and only promoting it in this forum for scamming purposes. Anyone who doesn't very cautious enough with their security can be scammed even the higher ranks.

Obviously, the main reason why most of the newbies are prone of getting scammed is because they lack knowledge about what they are doing. It is a dangerous thing actually, entering something without having enough idea about its system or benefits and even danger. You should make yourself more knowledgeable on what's in crypto and on how you can evade scams that you may possibly meet in the future during your investments.

As long as they have given a warning, they should also be vigilant with the things they are experimenting.

I've seen newbies that doesn't want to listen to our advise that don't invest to something they don't know and yet they have invested to a scam scheme because they think it's easy money and thought that we're not serious giving them warning.

The answer to this question is simple because they are "newbie" to a certain things. Stuff that they dont know like you said lack of ideas or knowledge. Some persons might abuse this weakness. The only thing we need to remember is when the offer involves money, we need to be careful review it many times, find feedbacks from other users before trying anything.

Indeed there is no better answer than that but that reason are slowly dying because we are in a world where information is just a few clicks away so better to research about something you want to get into before really getting into it so that you won't look like an easy target for scammers. Money isn't that only thing you need to invest here in crypto, time and effort as well.

I guess like website's projects who really look professional, for example Bitconnect they had a good story, professional looking website and team, they even had meetings where they would talk you in to Bitconnect, they had a pretty professional scam going on, a lot of people would fall for it and did.

Probably even people who where in Crypto for a longer time thought it was legit for a while.

People who make youtube video's with succes story's will talk new people in to a scam and that is a pretty bad thing I think.
You really need to check everything some of the scammers are quite smart and will try to trick you, and especially if you are new it is easy to fall for the scam.

Scammers are caught within the trap of creating an excessive amount of profit during a short period of your time, which isn't right. If most are aware then they're going to avoid being scammed because we aren't aware.

Scammers are caught within the trap of creating an excessive amount of profit during a short period of your time, which isn't right. If most are aware then they're going to avoid being scammed because we aren't aware.

If you found that someone is offering an unrealistic profits which is not possible to earn in short time, then it may be a scam attempt and beware of it.

Be aware of scammers which means to check everything before taking decision. I mean everything, nearly fell on a scam yesterday.

What do you mean scammers check everything ?

It will be better if you can tell what exactly happened yesterday so that others are also aware of it.

Most newcomers have no knowledge of the cryptocurrency market so they cannot protect themselves. Besides, most new entrants in this market for profit should not be able to escape the temptation that the fraudsters offer.
Imagine when a person is blinded for profit he can do anything.

Not only newbies even long time members of this forum get scam for not getting the latest update on how these scammers works, have you read the latest scam tactics of scammers where they poised as the official channel Youtube channel of reputable projects and exchanges and they offer giveaways, I almost fell to that because they looked legit with their thousands of subscribers.

Scammers do also improve over the years if certain modus or method becomes saturated or known then they would make another one that looks legitimate and havent known yet even
with the oldest members and yes even these people get victimized even they do have enough experience on various things.This is why even youre still a newbie and you do find
something which is too good to be true then it doesnt really cost much time to make a simple google search but people are just too lazy on doing such thing.

Well, not only newbies but also the experienced can get scam in crypto. Also if a newbie account post in bitcointalk and tell you about his story, it does not mean that he is newbie in the crypto world. He may be Newbie on this forum, but could be much older in cryto-currencies.

In addition, an alternate newbie account can be used to create such a theme by a legendary forum member. And this is because an experienced participant is ashamed to admit that he was deceived as a Newbie. I would have done the same in that case) But newbies suffer more because they know less about cryptocurrency.

[dvmmayowa]

Because they are newbies,they don't have enough experience with investments on schemes so they trust random advertisements and ends up getting scammed but not only newbies even veterans also get trapped due to negligence.

Newbies should avoid plans like these:

1. Bitcoin doublers -  you can get your bitcoins doubled in a day or week.

2 Cloud mining

3. Deposit bonus - deposit 0.1BTC and get 1BTC in return.

Haha
I once got an email offering me 30% of my btc within 24hours and sadly enough, some newbies will fall for it easily.
This space is filled with lots of scammers, and until a final resolution has been put in place to curb all of that, a lot of scammers will still fall victims.

[Negotiation]

Even when newcomers have no idea about crypto they come to work on crypto because of greed they are more prone to scams. If work was done without any experience everyone could be rich That's why we need to be aware of crypto and then work.
