Why people fall for scams despite awareness.

[Orpichukwu]

Every day scammers comes up with new strategies which are not yet known to people and so they fall for it without knowing that it is a new scamming strategy, scammers are always sensitive and smart to changes and development and some persons being&tgggg scammed by close relative which makes it difficult for one to figure out, they easily buy and build trust on their client.

I believe every form of scam which is being used today to scam people is no longer new; they have all been used in the past, and scammers are just modernising them. Those who are not observant enough fall victim to the scammers' tricks, and people who fall victim more are either the greedy or those who build trust with someone they just had a few conversations online with, which gives the scammers the opportunity to scam them.

Because people do not learn from the experiences of others, until they start to get scammed on their own. And tell everyone that yeah, scams are real and everyone can be a target.

It's the nature of people not to easily believe on others, especially if they have not tasted it on their own. And sometimes, due to overconfidence and belief that, I am smarter than them, therefore it won't happen to me for real. But only to find out in the end, that you can also be their new victim.

Reality is, no one is excused from the bad guys around, no one can avoid getting scam even if you're completely aware of it.

Scammers are filtering their customer instead of changing their strategy into the new ones.

They purposefully using dumb social engineering to get into the most gullible people's minds. They know there are gullible people and there are smart people so they don't bother reinventing new strategies.

If their old strategy which seen as dumb by smart people works on some people, it's enough for them because they can manipulate these gullible people.

And unfortunately we have no shortage of gullible greedy people that willing to give away their money to scammers for a small bait that average people won't fall into.

I will agree with some of your points highlighted here, literally, some are not happening just because of ignorance actually, but due to thier behaviors,emotion and also overconfidence causes all these. Yes some people actually know that what they want to do is risky and many people have fall victims and they keep on doing it, which make some of them a dull till today either newbies or some claimed overconfidence members.

Honestly speaking, some people clearly ignore good advices, while some people repeat the mistakes they made before without learning anything from their past experiences. In some cases, some people actually assume they are over smart to be scammed or convinced,and that make them even more worse, and also a common negligence by not verifying any information properly or rushing themselves to take decisions can easily lead one to be scammed. However anyone can be victim if really we acts carelessly or when we are out of mind due to some pressures. That's why it's better to be thinking critically and calm patiencely. Lastly, let's stay at alert and continuesly active on upgrading ourselves ahead of the scammers, because if you're not informed you will be deformed.

Yes greed too much confidence, and not being able to wait are the main tricks scammers bypass our thinking, especially when they are using fake famous account or promise to sure profits to create a fake feeling of trust. Worst part that I think is most dangerous is believing that you are too smart to be tricked so biggest change that you can make is to start having way of thinking of Zero Trust where you want to double check everything. And yes scammers have gotten better and in order to be safe now, one should manage their feelings at least as much as they manage their passwords.

Never underestimate something is the rule that anybody in the space should acquire. Then it would be easier for them to see through such attempts or potential scams.
