PEOPLE WILL NEVER STOP FALLING FOR SCAM

[ScamViruS]

People are the victims of scams when think they will make more money in an easy way. But it turns out to be the biggest mistake of them all. I have seen many scam victims. All have one mistake, they could not control their greed. Scammers design everything in a way that greedy people trust them. And they send their hard earn money to scammer. If they do a little verification they can stay away from such scams.

I am just weak and heart broken how people are lazy to attend class that will open their mind and eyes to existing realities and set them free from lifetime mistakes. I am dazed by their foolishness in the issue of finance. My banners and office is still open but won't force anyone to learn.  I hope they don't learn the hard way.

If they doesn't want to take free lessons then let them to learn by paying a huge fee.

One who want to invest on something need to get thorough knowledge about its function and usability or they will fall for scams which is not common with cryptos almost every kind of investment have scam traps for these kind of lazy shits.

Yes, people need to understand that easy and quick money just means scam and it's the greed and foolishness which will always keep the people tangled in scammy projects. We need to create an awareness channel and active thread in order to avoid people from falling into the trap. I believe it's our responsibility to save the fragile community.

Actually it is not foolishness, but a native trait of the human psychology to become complacent and preserve our energies. Instinctively we just need food,water and shelter. After we have achieved that we need a surplus of motivation and will to get out of our so-called "confort zones" and achieve what we propose. Yet there are few people who actually do that. Ever wondered why the world wealth is so concentrated?

In your case people are more likely to give their money to a stranger than to LEARN and UNDERSTAND the technology. Most of us are looking for ways to increase our income and decrease the resources spent for that, but that's not how it works, right..

[hahay]

Obviously, such investment is the wrong way and no one will really give you %ROI in just a week and obviously, they don't know how it works because to make money in this market is not like that. Past experience made me learn a lot about the many scam developers out there that would make many lay people trapped in a scam. Use your brain to still get a healthier and wiser mindset, because just spending money isn't right if you want a quick return on your investment.

Exactly, many people fall for scams because of their greedy nature, there is nothing that can change that

It's pretty disheartening to see your friends and colleagues doing what you think to be opposite in life, this will always call for concerns towards them. As rightly said, many of them wouldn't like to listen to the sincere type nor listen to their friends than those scammers out there. Due to human nature, greediness is always a concern to human when money is involve and in this case we are talking about doubling investment money. To OP, if they have ears and eyes let them hear and see with them.

I've seen people like that. They don't want to learn, they just want the finished product.

I've been helping people with their computers. They wanted various stuff done like uninstalling stuck software, cleaning malware, registry, hardware setups like installing a new hard drive, bios updates. Every time I did that I invited them to watch and learn so they're able to do it without help but they usually answered "here's the money, you do it, I don't have time for it".

People who are lazy and greedy will always lose money. The problem is that most people are lazy and greedy.

I salute the OP to be very concerned about the views and the way people around them understand what BTC is. The wrong investment view makes it easy for many people to get caught up in fraud with the lure of a few percent profit and a period of time, it's like bullshit, bitcoin is very volatile and its movements are quite difficult to predict.
This is the importance of having an awareness to learn before investing, if you are not familiar with what you are going to invest, then it is a fatal mistake. Let's educate the people closest to us, give a proper understanding of BTC so that it is not easily affected by fraud and can make good use of technological developments in finance.

This stupid thinking "Double your money in just a few days" is the reason why people keep falling into scammers. This can't be eliminated hence people are also not changing their minds. Scammers have a different approach compared before, most likely they offer huge rewards, make double or triple your money, but for now...they are getting smarter and even experts can't think that way of scam. You only just surprise that your money is already gone.

That was a sad reality and makes a reason why some of us never have an interest in crypto for knowing these circumstances and the high risk evolve in crypto.

Where there is currency,  there are scammers lurking around to trap those who are stupid,  greedy and lazy thinking that money just comes out of think Air.
Even one of the oldest form of currency (Gold) has scam around it. So let them  keep having a poor mindset yet you keep progressing.  

[Ailmand]

The reason why there are a lot of people who find bitcoin an easy way to scam other people is that there are a lot of people who are not fully aware of how bitcoin works and how to securely buy and store bitcoin. Not to mention the misconception of bitcoin is an easy way to earn money and it can make you rich overnight.

Sufficient knowledge about bitcoin investment will keep you away from being scammed. Sad to say, people are naturally greedy, that is why even how many years had passed still a lot of people are still falling as a victim from different kind of scams.

Scam is not only happening online there are many people has been victim also using fiat.
The main reasons why there are many scammers because they are also many people supporting scam just to earn money.
They invite people to join even they do not have any knowledge about the program they want to invest its about greed and want to earn easy money.
As long as there are people want to earn easy money there are still new program that will open and find another victim.

[matchi2011]

Indeed there are many victims of scammers, the causes are varied. There are people who are lazy and want to get rich quick in an instant way, and the role of scammers makes sweet promises so that their victims believe. One of them by using the guise of crypto investment, where only a handful of people who play it.

Scammers knows how to work well and they continue tricking those people who wanted to get an easy access to gain profits. Promising so much by giving sweet promises. If you will just invest blindly the chance of losing your money is always there from their hands.
Be wise and active not to fall to any scheme like this from scammers hands.

[valuater]

Oh yeah, so far as they are not ready to learn and they are also not willing to work hard towards making their own money this is exactly what is going to happen. Growing up in this industry i have also fallen a victim to these scams but i learnt my lessons and have been good all this while.

Why would you offer 0.1BTC to someone who claims he can give you 3BTC lol

now many are like that and many more HYIPs circulating within 24 hours can get a profit of 500% that's just a hoax because at the moment there are a lot of new traders who don't have much experience being fooled by HYIPs and project scams, there must be information for new traders so avoid cases like that.

Indeed, we will always be easily tricked by investments like that, especially now for HYIP with more and more bitcoin payments and making profits up to hundreds of percent in just 1 day, we really need to pay attention not to be easily fooled because it is not easy to be able to double money up to hundreds of percent in only a short time.

[lienfaye]

Many people wants to earn money as fast as possible hence its easy for them to bite an offer who promise to give them profit in a short period of time.

Well we cant do anything about this because its their decision, if a person is not open to learn about crypto and the only concern is to earn then let them be.

Sometimes its better to experience committing mistakes before realizing what should not be done and learn from it after.

One of my friend name Emranhostat was a victim of fraud. One day an unknown girl sent a message from her Twitter to Emranhostat.

The message goes like:

Code:

"Please help me, I'm in a lot of danger, I have some bitcoin on an Exchange site.
But unfortunately, the government of my country has banned crypto trading so I can't withdraw my bitcoins in any way. 
Would you please help me to withdraw my Bitcoins? In return I will give you half of my total withdrawal balance, cause immediately I need money to be rescued from family crisis. 

The girl continued talking to my friend for a few days and able to convince my friend. At one point, my friend agreed to withdraw her bitcoin. The girl gave him a website link as well as she gave email and password too. Emranhostat entered the website and found it to be similar to the other Exchange site, he tried to login with email & password and successfully able to login. He found that there was 0.5 btc in holding.

But, when he tried to withdraw the fund, a popup window comes up and says due to inactivity the withdrawal option is currently frozen. Please make a deposit of 0.002 btc then the withdrawal option will be active again. My friend thought if he makes a deposit of 0.002 btc and able to withdraw the girl's fund then he will get 0.25 btc in return.

He felt greedy, when he did a 0.002 btc deposit after a few minutes the exchange site went server down and the girl blocked him too.
Finally, he lost his 0.002 btc...

People will never stop falling for scam for as long as they are ignorant, negligent and remain uneducated. Another reason I think that leads to falling for scams is the general concern of people of missing out on opportunities. And where such an deal is only for a limited time then this limitation would make people more likely to be drawn to it and grab it without thinking twice and assessing the validity of an investment offer. Nonetheless, I also agree that some people won't learn until they had it through the hard way.

I already witness some of fellowmen in my country that fall on this kind of scam which they will gonna double your money in just a week and even it is quite possible still not advisable especially if you don't know the person where you gonna send your money. Be wise, Be responsible if you really don't want to end up losing huge amount of money.

That's what I regret, although they don't have to go to cryptocurrency classes or seminars, at least they learn first what will be invested. So it's not easy to just accept an investment offer that promises to be multiplied many times in one week or one month. Come on be smarter, nothing is instant, moreover, cryptocurrency is very dynamic. If they understand the basic characteristics of cryptocurrency, surely people who have never tried it will surely think twice before investing their money, especially in people who are new to them in cyberspace.
This is the importance of educating people around you, cryptocurrency can be beneficial and vice versa, it all depends on how we respond to it.

[kayvie]

I also experienced this kind of situation,
I know people who know bitcoin as an easy money when you invest, even how many times I told them that this is not how bitcoin works, they still insist that this is how they learned on a certain website. I repeatedly explained to them that bitcoin is not some kind of investment that will double their money for a week or a month.
Even after I told them not to try those kind of investment, they don't listen as they are really after for an instant money.

[maxreish]

I understand where you are coming from. We can't please everybody. To think that they are interested at first but they want to gain easily I mean in a fastest way. Reality is that yeah they are lazy to attend seminars but they are eager to    gain. How is that possible? Investing bitcoin needs patience and other don"t understand how it really works as a store value, etc.

People will just get interested if they see some proofs about bitcoin then after, they will gonna invest but the truth is they are not ready for the risks.
