PEOPLE WILL NEVER STOP FALLING FOR SCAM

[XCANA]

Some people are just lazy and only want a good result without working hard to pursue it. Bitcoin needs further understanding and we must have basic knowledge on how to access it. If we're lazy to learn things about it, we'll surely be another victim of scams and fraudulent.
Knowledge and awareness are the weapons that we could have against scams. Crypto investment still needs a little hard work and we could gain the profit that we want out of our capital instantly.

What I see in all those scams around the cryptoshere  is greediness, I could still remember when i in was still new to bitcoin, my aims was to become rich without the knowledge of Bitcoin and it technology. This landed me into a serious scam in 2017, when I was scammed €1000 approximately. From there after I learned how to eventually carryout a simple research before  investing into any project, many investors are too lazy to read in between lines of  these projects offered. Let's be wise to avoid  these arant scam.

It is very difficult not to fall into the hands of scammers because scammers make promises that not exist in the real world.

Well, that what it makes skeptical for people to put their trust on. Most of the scams, just like what you mentioned is way too good to be true, easy money with an easy task with an unfamiliar way of earning it is always a scam, in my opinion. Sugarcoated words make those scams so irresistible for those people who are after the profits in a very easy way of earning it.

We can't call them lazy though, the right term is that they are demotivated for doing works that give them real money without them losing any amount of money in their wallet. The only key to avoid scams is to be more aware by researching stuff about such things or asking people about it first if it is trully legit.

Obviously, because they don't want to listen to us and never take advice before investing. I'd think that this is a normal scenario and many people would still fall into the hands of scammers because of their wrong beliefs. They trust themselves but that trust isn't enough that is why we should have to open up our mind and tried to listen to the others.

It absolutely scammers won't stop their doings until there is no person could become their victim but it is quite happening again and again. And the awareness that we've given to the community seems to be not really effective and still could be ignored sometimes.

The people who don't really care about advice commonly come from beginners. They are just too confident with their beliefs although they still have a lack of knowledge related to crypto investment/trading. While for experienced ones, they must know that it will be stupid by relying on confidence without deep research and considering people's advice.

Hello guys, back in 2017, during the heavy bull run, I visited my former office and meant some friends and told them the need to key into bitcoin. One who is now occupying my former position at the bank interjected and said "someone just left here to to lay complain how he paid a huge some of money to a bitcoin seller who then scammed him", bitcoin was never paid by the scammer. I asked them to send the person to me for a free tutorial on bitcoin and how to safely buy and store it, I never hear from them again till date. The victim had try to bitcoin because he heard he will double his investment in a week, I told them that is not how it work.

After getting and reading repeated complain of how persons are been scammed in my country while trying to buy bitcoin, I decided to make 4 banners on how to learn how to safely buy/sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, and to address the wrong notion about cryptocurrency. I got some calls and follow ups. But most are not interested in buying and holding but want to give me money and be giving them a weekly or monthly returns on investment, when I tell them that is not how it actually works, they will reply they have found a program online that pays some weekly % ROI, I try to stop them from putting their money there, they either stop picking my calls or tell them they are okay with their findings.

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.

In as much as it's in the nature of virtually every cryptocurrency enthusiasts to try help noobs or people who perceived the idea of cryptocurrency, blockchain and bitcoin wrongly, there's a limit to how much you can really help people course some people just ought to learn the hard way. What they don't understand is that cryptocurrency isn't some wonderlands where you just put money and boom you gets 1000+% ROI.

I've been approached severally with questions like,  if i invest so so amount in bitcoin how much will i realized in a months time and I'll be like hey brother,  it doesn't work that way, and one thing i noticed is that if you ain't telling them what they actually wanted to hear,  you will see disinterest of your advice well written on their faces.

depends on the people and on his/her advice  . if you dont know the person why you will trust them and you dont also know if they are only saying a lie  .

newbies will mainly believe on others because they arent confident of thier decision but its not good all the time in my opinion  . veterans and pro wont depend on other because they have adequate knowledge   .  id rather do research own my own because i know to my self that i can do what others can do .

[nicecrypto]

Judging from their mindset, they will most likely learn from the hard way, there is nothing so difficult in trying to understand the nitty gritty of crypto, especially the most basic aspect of it, and what to watch out for not to fall into the wrong hands of scammers,
They prefer to seat and have their monthly returns paid to them without putting any effort, maybe you should advise them to join masternode investment since they are not interested in doing things on their own, that will be a good alternative, i hope this people don't give money to the wrong hands.

I thought they were just in too much of a hurry. sometimes they see the opportunity before their eyes, but they do not realize that it is a very detrimental thing. at this time so many people who make projects trap others involved in scams, if we are lazy to read and find information about the project that we will invest, then we will be easy to be exposed to scams. Most investors do not know what they are investing in, which is the reason why they are vulnerable to scams.

Maybe they don't research on what project they should invest because they hear from other people that say the project "A" is good to invest for a short term and long term. If that is the case, they will get the same experience because they will not try to find out more about the projects, and they only follow what other people suggest. We should learn from their mistake so we can select the project after we search if the project is good or not. When we cannot find more information about the project, we need to leave the project and try to find another project to invest.

[Oasisman]

It is not easy to find out what is scam or not , sometimes you realize only after a long time that the project you have invested in proves to be a scam, just look at many of the past projects on bitcointalk.

Nah, It's easy to spot a project that is potentially a scam. How? Thorough research and experience. Thought you might fall for a scam but not as easy as you think it would be. Usually those who were fall to a scam are those who are greedy and wants to get rich overnight literally in just a snap of a finger like Thanos lol  .
I have been to a lot of ICO's before, but I didn't considered myself as scammed before, but there are just some good projects that fails, thus failing my invested capital.

This is because we can create the most secure systems, but the main vulnerability will always be the user. And social engineering is the most used tool by hackers nowadays. The techniques are growing faster than security. That's why we have to be really careful with any business we do online.

Social engineering is probably the greatest weapon of hackers, many imagine hackers as being great with technology and they are, but one of their greatest secrets and abilities is that they can convince people to give them private information they should not divulge, and a perfect example of this are private keys, how many times we have seen examples in the forum of people that gave their private keys to hackers just because they are asked to give that information away? And when a user does that there is no technology that can protect him.

People may never stop from falling for scams since scammers has always a new way or strategy to make their victims fall from it. They always have the different idea how to make people believe through their platforms and projects, that's why day by day many people are falling from their traps.

Actually some people are meant to be used as sacrifice to the gods of scam. I mean I have no pity for such people who pick ignorance instead of knowledge. I love to think I have done my part in the grand scheme of things. Education trumps over any form of greed, so far they haven't learn any either.

[Wexnident]

Nothing surprising there tbh. If there isn't any real desire to learn, but only the desire for money or otherwise greed, people will continue to get scammed by themselves. It's like how they would probably go inside a burning building just to get a million dollars inside. And even if we say that they got experience with being scammed, as long as there's the factor or miniscule chance of a possibility of "earning money", they'd willingly enter any kind of trial/site/enticement just so they can try it. It's like gambling. They hope and pray that they actually hit the jackpot in one of their decisions, which makes separating from such choices harder than ever.

Actually one of the reason why they fall the traps is also because of them. They are lack of knowledge about scam project and investments. Giving an easy way to scammers to figure out what they needed to do in order to scam them quickly. Some people wants an easy money and they want to put their money on risk just to double or triple their money in small amount of time. There are many fake investment and projects by using the price bitcoin as a power tools to fool people because of its price is very high and people always want it.
This type of scam is the same with my friend after several payment with exchange to bitcoin promising to double with extra bonus they vanished together with the money of my friend.

I feel that people fall for these scams due to various reasons and one of them is the urgency to earn quick money, and whenever a person gives into this kind of urgency then he/she ignores the basic rules and walks straight into the scammers trap. Another reason I can cite is the emotional behaviour of the victims which is often manipulated by the scammers, and honestly I have fallen for this kind of scam and believe me it’s very difficult to realise that you’re being scammed.

Unfortunately, newbies don't have the desire to learn to be honest because what they want is they want to gain money in a quick and easy way. They don't want to spend some time researching that is why they are falling even for an obvious scams like Bitcoin doubler or daily interest kind of scams etc.

In my experience, I didn't fell for this kind of scams because I didn't just do some research at first but I listened to some of the experts and asked questions to some people before investing. I don't want to just throw away my money to some investment that I don't know how it work.

As long as there are newbies and lazy investors out there, scam will be everywhere.

Indeed. Newbies nowadays are too greedy to earn huge amount of money in a quick and easy way, and newbies don't really bother themselves to learn more about bitcoin and the world of crypto because they are really impatient, that is why it is very easy for scammers to trick them and steal of their money.

[AdoboCandies]

Yup it's easy to make a decision if it involves a huge amount of money that's why many people fall into different scams because of their desire of money, because why not who wouldn't want instant money and a huge amount without doing anything. But i think what they lack is the knowledge although they have the money they still lack the knowledge on what they're joining and on what they doing and newbies are easy to scam, because of that.

New way, yes but it has the same goal and thinks that we will fall into their project or investment that is so good to be true. You can feel a scam if you already know what a scam is if someone offered a too-good-to-be-true profit, you should think twice before you said yes and hand over your money.
