Topic: PEOPLE WILL NEVER STOP FALLING FOR SCAM (Read 1045 times)
what I can't understand is that there are people who invest without knowing what they are investing. isn't that stupid? only affected and dependent on strangers who offer profit many times instantly. In investment strategies, it is one of the most fatal mistakes. Better to understand the ecosystem first, the risks, and do it according to the process, do not expect something instantly. No wonder the OP was very sad to see the reality before him there was someone who was deceived by scammers under the guise of bitcoin investment, whereas cryptocurrency was quite difficult to predict.
Some people always like to learn from the hard way to fully understand the situation, no matter what is been said to them or whatever they read online is not always enough to knock some sense into their head until they got scam,
There is only little thing you can do to convince, better they learn on their own, experience is best teacher they say.

Those people are after for the instant profit,
They are the type of people who tends to risk their money with investing scheme without knowing the circumstances they might face after investing. People like that is most likely greedy and they don't have enough knowledge about what they are doing.
Correct, once there are always naive and greed people it will always turn out to fall in trap by scammers due to their greediness. They are the type of people who tends to risk their money with investing scheme without knowing the circumstances they might face after investing. People like that is most likely greedy and they don't have enough knowledge about what they are doing.
But we can help them and educate them on how to spot a scam project and busted them. Once they are willing to learn I sure someday they are also good investors. Scammers are everywhere so you should be vigilant in any people who are you dealing with the internet, you can avoid scams.
The only weapon that we could have against scammers and fraudsters is awareness accompanied by enough knowledge. We all know that scammers will do everything to fool people in so many ways and victims who usually fall for their trap are those who didn't exert any effort to learn and adopt ways to get rid of it. Having the eagerness to learn every day is still an advantage.
Correct, most of the time having enough knowledge prevents us to fall from this works of the scammers, they are good from what they're doing, it's a must to know everything before dealing with anything that associated with crypto failing in doing so will bring greater risk to your investment time and money. 
OP, don't be dismayed and let it not worry you that much. Our people are like that and are always on the look out for easy ways. Bitcoin or cryptocurrency isn't that way. Though they make rich when unexpected. For me, I believe education is in two parts - (1) Education from knowledge and (2) Education from experience. Let those folks experience the education that comes from experience and lose to scammers since they don't want your knowledge. Trust me it will be something they won't forget in a hurry.
Those people who victim by Ponzi Schemes are lazy to seek new knowledge to invest in Bitcoin and other crypto currency that's why they will stick to this kind of investment. And if they don't listen to you don't worry let them learn thier mistakes in hard way so that they they will find you and begging to teach them in right investment and also earning bitcoin with no need to invest.
Bitcoin has been popular with the tag line can be made someone getting rich instantly. Including me, a few day before I know this forum I found more about bitcoin and there were many services who offer like ponzi scheme and at that time I'm really interested. I felt to the platform who use my money for trading, and I will get passive income per months as a result. And I believe at that time until I got scammed eventually by this service and greatfully I know this forum. I think this forum is really helpful especially for newbie, I hope for those who just new and have intention to focus on crypto they should/must know this forum first in my opinion.

sometimes scammers are really good at this and their tongue is so sweet that even pro can be a victim.but yeah laziness mostly the main reason why they are losing money and also sometimes Greed comes to the scene.Most pyramid schemes that are running on the internet now are just to scam those who are lazy to do thorough research. They might ask you to start with just 0.001BTC and you will end of with 64BTC with 8 levels. The other will say you will double your deposit withing a month as if crypto trading is a money-printing machine. They are just numerous online and those who are joining crypto space newly always fall victim.
pyramid scheme are all scams,maybe some are not being exposed soon but in future?the outcome is the same and they are all scammers.

Scams are still everywhere because we are talking about money. I think it will never turn into bubble and there will always be hackers. Yes new security will be discovered but hackers are smart enough. They will always find a way. So for the users I think it is better that the protection of your account starts from yourself like being careful to the sites that are accessing. Always be aware what you are pasting, is it your private key or the correct address? Read and understand what is on the internet especially the urls.
One thing you have to understand is that people are looking for means that will make them quick money. If it’s possible for them to make 500% of their investment in 1 hour, they will do that lol. That’s why they keep on losing their money, it’s their greediness that is causing it for them. This is not a new thing to me because I have seen such people a lot of times.
Some of my friends that once asked me about Bitcoin, at first they thought that Bitcoin was a means to get rich quick within few days and when I explain to them that that’s not how it works, they lose interest. I don’t even bother to ask them about it, because it’s none of my business, I don’t care. I am not even the type that goes around telling people about Bitcoin because some of them are foolish and they can do anything later and make mistake and blame you later.

This is because they are greed, they don't know the real use of Bitcoin and how to make money here without risking there hard-earned money. Well, thanks to you because you have care for those newbies that don't really know what bitcoin is. Hopefully if they will victim of those scam they will have interest to your offer.
There's still a risk on investing with bitcoin it just that, they don't have enough knowledge about it and I'm sure that bad experience can lead them to a much more meaningful investing in this market. People will not stop from falling for a scam because scammers also adopt new technology and we can see that almost every month there's a new way to scam people, and recently they are hacking the account of the youtubers so they can spread a scam and malicious information. Even though the scammers improved their ways to scam people, they still have the same purpose and promise, they always promise unrealistic offer which people should always realize and avoid at the very first time.

Too bad for that bank client as he learned how investing in cryptocurrency works in a hard way. No one is to blame aside from himself because if only he took the time to learn everything about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and the less risky way to spend his hard-earned money, he won't suffer from being scammed. Most often, greediness doesn't really bring good things if you are just new in investing, you need to take initiative to learn everything before engaging yourself on anything that involves money.
Most pyramid schemes that are running on the internet now are just to scam those who are lazy to do thorough research. They might ask you to start with just 0.001BTC and you will end of with 64BTC with 8 levels. The other will say you will double your deposit withing a month as if crypto trading is a money-printing machine. They are just numerous online and those who are joining crypto space newly always fall victim.
No, not just lazy to do thorough research but waiting to be spoon fed and lead by the hand, people who will not get their ass up to seek for what they want will always find themselves in such situation, they always rely on someone to do the hard work and then they receive reward without putting in any effort. this type of people are the reason why pyramid schemes are still in business, to attract people like this.
I agree with you. And everything happens like this precisely because people want to get rich quickly. But it doesn't work that way.
well falling from scams because of Greed and not knowledgeable ,most victims got hooked because of the promises being Bait of scammers.Most pyramid schemes that are running on the internet now are just to scam those who are lazy to do thorough research.

sometimes even how research we do still scammers can enter our system because they are almost the same of the legit company,their sites are good,from white paper to road map and their ANN thread.but let us be more efficient in finding right one and escape from being victim.
Indeed the reality is like that, especially ordinary people in the world of cryptocurrency are very lazy to learn cryptocurrency in detail.
Most of what is in people's minds is profit.

Profit earning should be think of at least. Many people got scammed right? The problem with these people are the lack of sense and even their already been cheated still their mindset for money never changes. The persuation to get back what is loss is more big than accepting and learning from it.
Unless they wake up to reality, even if they leave BTC they might just continue to live more miserable and try the next pyramid scheme that will emerge.
They are more like hoping to still get some from it. Pyramiding scheme become famous since 2017 but those who profits there are not always the people whi got scammed but those that just get hype.

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.
And unfortunately this is something that happens not only to newbies but to everyone, they are greedy and they let that greed to blind them to the risks they are taking, and while greed is bad enough if you can at least direct it to something productive you could take advantage of it, but many people are also lazy, they do not want to work hard to reach their dreams of untold riches and when that happens it is almost inevitable they become victims of scammers.

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.
So, if people will never stop falling for scams, we will see more scams in the future.

Exactly!
There's no tool that can prevent someone from being scammed, because it is the people/investors who certainly fail to use either the tools to detect a possible scam or the lack of initiative (usually caused by greediness).
I am even surprised why there are still people who falls for account/wallet hacking when there where already a thick layer of wallet security such as two or multiple factor authentication and OTP's before accessing or doing an online transactions.
