These too good to be true offers should already give the hint to everyone that there's no easy money even in cryptocurrency, the same goes in the real world and finances.

Greediness is the one leading these people to fall onto those traps but the lesson that it will give them will make them realize what the reality is all about and it will sink hardly to them.

A lot of people find it difficult to make proper research before carrying out an investment, especially when there is an enticing profit involved in it. Most people who do proper research before investing in anything are mostly people who have been victims of scams or people who do not get attracted to the motivational speeches of the scammers who will sugarcoat their words in other to convince their victims to invest. Anyone who follows op's advice will always escape from scammers unless the person is greedy or selfish.

And you know what's with these people? They'll only talk when they're done investing into those scams and will ask the community or anyone that had given them advise about DYOR and everything to avoid if they can still recover their money. No offense to them but that's what exactly is happening.

- DYOR.

This is by far the most important advice, and could prevent 99% of scams that people fall for.
People are mostly influenced by personalities and take what presumed important people say serious; this is one reason scammers try to impersonate such personalities (by creating a fake profile or hacking their actual accounts) inorder to scam gullible people.

If one just simply exercised restrain and did a bit of research, then they would be able to identify scam techniques, or at least seem a second opinion and get some advice, rather than relying on greed.

I think some people do their research about these kinds of things but still go ahead to invest or try it out because somewhere in their heads they believe they can't be scammed.
 It's a worthy cause FatManTerra is doing because at least he could be beacon to those who are unwary and even tho some of these offers seem too good to be true, at least there has to be some sort of vigilance from users too.

I agree but this is easier said than done.
Research requires time and some knowledge. An absolute beginner who doesn't understand the market, the technology and the ways they scam people is not going to be able to make a conclusion based on what they research.

Well articulated here. When is read DYOR, it is often said as if it is easy to research. And when this is said to newbies, it gets me more confused because a newbie who has no experience about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large will really have nothing to research.
Even an experienced person could go into research and at the end of it becomes more confused about the decision to take. I feel that more should be told people rather than doing their own research.

To Newbies: something like Learn before you Earn(invest) should always be told them.
To Experienced users: Take responsibility in whatever be the outcome of your decision. Invest what you are able to lose etc

I also turned out to be following the person you mean, sir. From the impact of crypto, it might be something that is familiar to people who follow the sour and sweet development of crypto like you. Crypto, especially in this sub board, there are many beginners and active activists. It helps for your concern. Indeed, crypto is so different from saving banking services or financial institutions. at least for long-term transactions it is enough to make me comfortable in cryptocurncy

Sadly, most so-called crypto influencers are the real scammer in the market, and the reason why we still people falling for their hype message which is purposely meant to scam naive is that people don't focus most of their investment on BTC. Besides, if we look deep into the service rendered by most crypto influencers it's not different from the scam crypto trading signal, and what they do is just redefine their method.

This is why I don't believe in people sending me messages about a platform where I can earn money by investing or other offers. People may invest after doing some research but can't still get a strong evidence that it is a scam or they won't get scan and yet still invest is because some are taking the rest that it may not be a scam at all and earning from it would be good although because of that some will invest all the money (investment funds only) they can afford to lose if the investment turns out to be a scam in the end.
