Because people who join the ponzi scheme or HYIPs only think of ways to get a lot of money quickly without thinking about risks such as scams, so many people complain when they know ponzi or HYIPs are scam. And always be careful invest in crypto
If people think of investing money in shitty ponzi and HYIP schemes thinking of making money then they are aware of the risk involved too as there is nothing that will last for a long period of time but all the scams in the market are not about HYIP and ponzi but majority invest when they see a good project but what happens is that they will have a prototype and nothing else and they will not develop the end product and the project dies and that is what we see often.

The above information is very useful. One thing I've developed over the years is being critical of everyone/everything. I'm not easily trusting, I tend to question everything. This has helped me avoid falling for scammers.
Thanks for this information. I think it will be useful for beginner investors. The number of scammers in cryptocurrencies is increasing every day. We all need to be more careful than yesterday.
Even if you follow all the rules and are always careful remember that social engineering also does not stand still. Scammers will always find new ways. But this is the foundation of the rules and, as always, they are in human values and weaknesses.
You are right but atleast observing the basic rules keeps you out of sight for scammers. Firstly is get information and keep yourself abreast with emerging events and happenings. Widen your knowledge horizon oh how things work in the information technology world and Secondly never get greedy. Every greedy man is prone to scam. Not even know MIT degrees can save you from that.
People makes lot of money from HYIP, its true because i have friends that make money from HYIP but i learn something from my friend, he said to make money from HYIP you need to put aside greed, once you get paid quickly withdraw your reward, not the same for everyone though they want big money before withdraw thats how they lose money, at the same time HYIP is not good, its nothing but scam investment
During my early days as bounty hunter Ive always look for an easy money, some of them are called "HYIP" in which you will need to send amount of money like minimum of $1 to gain atleast 50% of it, but this hyip will be alive for only 1day or an hours then they will scam all the moneys they will shutdown the website then you will lose your money. This is the wrong time about people, easy money is the first thing people look for when they are badly in need, which really cannot help them but rather make their status worst. 
Control yourself when you see an offer like 10% return in 10 hours or doubling the money in 24 hours,etc because in reality it is not possible to make that kind of profits so realizing is the first part when someone don't want to get scammed from reality and luring people to scams like these.
The fact is i never invest in any new projects because i don't need to, old altcoins are better and safer and if i have to hold any new token or coin it will be from bounty projects, scammers are making money off innocent victims everyday so they are every where, i can change my mind only when regulation get approved

Scams are increasing day by day just only because of people getting greedy as they want to become rich without doing anything in short span of time.They just invest anywhere without getting proper details as they get attracted to the benefits set up as bait and easily get fooled.So they need to be aware about this risky market and just control their emotions and investigate in detail first without investing money in scam project.
Big scam case that i see, maybe ponzi scheme that famous and then collect a lot of money from people. After that maybe people know when they are too greedy and think about instant way to get money, scammers will take advantage from them.
Deception can happen to anyone and it's because of FOMO and greed, even though they have experience and have been here for a long time, but fraudsters are smarter and will try various tricks to convince.
and we need to be more professional to do detailed research and investigate more deeply and try to communicate with their team to always keep asking questions that you think should be asked, and all of this will become Points of consideration as a continuation for making choices.

I once invested in one project because of FOMO. The project is discussed by everyone in the group and every day there will be news that appears. I am still holding and analyzing, then I am interested in investing some of my funds in it. When the token sale is complete, just wait for listing on the exchange. But until now the project has not been listed anywhere and tokens have become junk.
Past experiences adds up to your knowledge, learning things in the hard way will take you to the next level. Many traders and investors failed to do their homework, same with how OP explains factors that affect investors point of view.Rushing into something without committing yourself to study and research makes you vulnerable and easy to be a victim by scammers out there who's looking for the next target.
Do not send money to scammers and you will not be deceived.
To be honest, I somewhat doubt the relevance of your advice.
The time of hypes has passed. Of all the projects of today, it’s possible to single out only telegrams and Libra as HYIPs, but neither of them gives an opportunity to invest in them.
Therefore, your advice seems a little belated to me.
As for FOMO, in the current market I have not seen this phenomenon for a long time. Even when Bitcoin grew to $ 13,000 and FOMO did not activate, which is why the whales had to sell out.

FOMO is same thing as rushing, fear of missing out can make you rush to exchange to buy a particular coin or token but the most dangerous one is greed, not knowing when to stop is bad in every aspect of life but at the same time greed has its purpose too
They are all not dangerous, except to HYIPs, FOMO, rushing, is a good thing, what comes after is how you are going to apply it, it could be either affect you negatively or positively, again, it all depends on what actions you are going to execute to make these things you called "how not to get scam" advices work properly.
If you are going to get greedy because of FOMO, and you rush things out, make sure that you have a plan before that, rushing things naively is a plan destroyer.
The problem is newbies these days see cryptocurrency as an opportunity to get rich fast which is a wrong interpretation. It's a long process of learning so it will be a big risk to invest without learning first. I admit that I made a wrong decision because of FOMO before but I have learned that it's better to do your own research first before investing.
It's accurate though. Most have experienced being scammed and I just also want to add something from what I have learned from that experience is you need to do is to be very cautious and do prior research before investing on something. Don't let yourself get blinded by greed because it will do no good to you. You're just making yourself be more vulnerable for scams.
If you're still not that familiarize here, especially for newbies, it's best not to make hasty decisions. Consult people who you think that can help you with your decisions.

No matter how good a project might look, even after series of research, after investing in it and you have got that little profit, pls, take your profit and move on to another. Trying to take too much has caused some people to lose their funds.
It can bring loss to the point that you might be able to recover from it again.
