I just want to appreciate this that this forum is very useful and led me to crest this topic most especially for people who are not on this forum that browsed about it using google search engine because it can or may not be new to most people on this forum, but it is very possible new members are included to learn from this thread I started.
1. I have seen seen someone that was decoyed by a fake lover on social medial to send bitcoin to a given address but was actually a same, ignorance makes them to believe who they never know.

3. Ignorance make some people back up their wallet seed phrase on device they use, if the device is damaged then the seed phrase gone and the wallet and coins on it will be lost.
4. Ignorace makes people to carelessly use the wallet device online and install malware which result to bitcoin and altcoin or the whole wallet loss.
5. Ignorance make people to collect airdrop careless but leading to phishing attack and/or malware installation.
6. Ignorance makes people use public WiFi to even use it to open there bitcoin wallet.
7. Ignorance make people fall for ponzi scheem.
8 ignorance make people decoy to pay certain amount to collect big about to doubler sites and nothing it return and they are scammed.
These are just few, but this forum made me realized that all we need is to have knowledge about how scammers do their tricks, to avoid them is simple but lack of how to avoid them makes people to be easily scammed, I have blamed many people before but I later understood it is because they know nothing about scam. And lastly, I thank this forum once again for revealing how scammers can try to scam.
Although ignorance resulted to scam but I have to add this comment from
CoolcryptovatorWell wrote OP, although ignorance isn't the only reason it's one of the important reasons why we get scam. Most scam cases happen due to greedy behavior and to become quick rich. The quick rich method is one of the most dangerous reasons for the scam. Wherever we see some greedy offer we jump on it without conclusions. Some scam happens due to lack of enough knowledge, to be honest, I meet with PONZI word after joining on this forum. Before that, I wasn't aware of Ponzi even I was an investor of the rev-share scam at the beginning (I wasn't into bitcoin that time). No one explained to me about this ponzi scam because of their referral commissions. So it's more important to learn from such as forum and nearest friends. Ignorance scam could happen when you know something but you get scam due to carelessness.
