Just always do a fact check. Google is there, don't be fooled on such too good to be true benefits.

for now when there is a new gambling website I will also try it with a small capital to find out the scam or not.
You can check the legitimacy of a gambling site without investing small money on it.

Deep checking will serve as your guide to determine if it's a scam or not. Everything is an open-source now, you don't need to waste money on that.
But if the site seems legit, outside and inside, then that's the time to try with a small capital and test to give a review.

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. Don't want to think about the process. If it's like this continue to think it will be difficult
to stop people becoming victims of scammers. So from that education about cryptocurrency indeed must start from an early age. So it
will be easier to understand cryptocurrency not an instant moneymaker.

Nothing surprising there tbh. If there isn't any real desire to learn, but only the desire for money or otherwise greed, people will continue to get scammed by themselves. It's like how they would probably go inside a burning building just to get a million dollars inside. And even if we say that they got experience with being scammed, as long as there's the factor or miniscule chance of a possibility of "earning money", they'd willingly enter any kind of trial/site/enticement just so they can try it. It's like gambling. They hope and pray that they actually hit the jackpot in one of their decisions, which makes separating from such choices harder than ever.
I think they are traders or new investors will try because they will seek experience first and learn what makes a scam so that he knows and can be used as experience and important lessons for the future that will make him not exposed to scams again.

Greed often closes the mind. So even if they don't know and understand the risks well, as long as there are offers that can provide multiple benefits, they will be chosen. They just realized that they were fooled after losing. That is a fatal mistake in investing.
Learning about cryptocurrency is not just by attending seminars, learning independently and asking friends who understand better will make it easier. So educating family and friends is an effective way to teach them the importance of understanding the cryptocurrency ecosystem before deciding to get involved.

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 schemes are indeed very easy to attract new investors, however, it is an old trick but it still works today. however, I think people who are great at inviting someone to invest are things that need to be avoided, especially for those who always offer a lot of profits and instant. what needs to be understood is, to make big money, need trust in investment companies, and don't invest in companies that have a lot of incomplete information.

People may never stop from falling for scams since scammers has always a new way or strategy to make their victims fall from it. They always have the different idea how to make people believe through their platforms and projects, that's why day by day many people are falling from their traps.

New way, yes but it has the same goal and thinks that we will fall into their project or investment that is so good to be true. You can feel a scam if you already know what a scam is if someone offered a too-good-to-be-true profit, you should think twice before you said yes and hand over your money.

Yup it's easy to make a decision if it involves a huge amount of money that's why many people fall into different scams because of their desire of money, because why not who wouldn't want instant money and a huge amount without doing anything. But i think what they lack is the knowledge although they have the money they still lack the knowledge on what they're joining and on what they doing and newbies are easy to scam, because of that.

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.
Indeed. Newbies nowadays are too greedy to earn huge amount of money in a quick and easy way, and newbies don't really bother themselves to learn more about bitcoin and the world of crypto because they are really impatient, that is why it is very easy for scammers to trick them and steal of their money.

People may never stop from falling for scams since scammers has always a new way or strategy to make their victims fall from it. They always have the different idea how to make people believe through their platforms and projects, that's why day by day many people are falling from their traps.
Actually one of the reason why they fall the traps is also because of them. They are lack of knowledge about scam project and investments. Giving an easy way to scammers to figure out what they needed to do in order to scam them quickly. Some people wants an easy money and they want to put their money on risk just to double or triple their money in small amount of time. There are many fake investment and projects by using the price bitcoin as a power tools to fool people because of its price is very high and people always want it.
This type of scam is the same with my friend after several payment with exchange to bitcoin promising to double with extra bonus they vanished together with the money of my friend.

I feel that people fall for these scams due to various reasons and one of them is the urgency to earn quick money, and whenever a person gives into this kind of urgency then he/she ignores the basic rules and walks straight into the scammers trap. Another reason I can cite is the emotional behaviour of the victims which is often manipulated by the scammers, and honestly I have fallen for this kind of scam and believe me it’s very difficult to realise that you’re being scammed.

Hello guys, back in 2017, during the heavy bull run, I visited my former office and meant some friends and told them the need to key into bitcoin. One who is now occupying my former position at the bank interjected and said "someone just left here to to lay complain how he paid a huge some of money to a bitcoin seller who then scammed him", bitcoin was never paid by the scammer. I asked them to send the person to me for a free tutorial on bitcoin and how to safely buy and store it, I never hear from them again till date. The victim had try to bitcoin because he heard he will double his investment in a week, I told them that is not how it work.

After getting and reading repeated complain of how persons are been scammed in my country while trying to buy bitcoin, I decided to make 4 banners on how to learn how to safely buy/sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, and to address the wrong notion about cryptocurrency. I got some calls and follow ups. But most are not interested in buying and holding but want to give me money and be giving them a weekly or monthly returns on investment, when I tell them that is not how it actually works, they will reply they have found a program online that pays some weekly % ROI, I try to stop them from putting their money there, they either stop picking my calls or tell them they are okay with their findings.

I am just weak and heart broken how people are lazy to attend class that will open their mind and eyes to existing realities and set them free from lifetime mistakes. I am dazed by their foolishness in the issue of finance. My banners and office is still open but won't force anyone to learn.  I hope they don't learn the hard way.

Actually some people are meant to be used as sacrifice to the gods of scam. I mean I have no pity for such people who pick ignorance instead of knowledge. I love to think I have done my part in the grand scheme of things. Education trumps over any form of greed, so far they haven't learn any either.

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.
Social engineering is probably the greatest weapon of hackers, many imagine hackers as being great with technology and they are, but one of their greatest secrets and abilities is that they can convince people to give them private information they should not divulge, and a perfect example of this are private keys, how many times we have seen examples in the forum of people that gave their private keys to hackers just because they are asked to give that information away? And when a user does that there is no technology that can protect him.

It is not easy to find out what is scam or not , sometimes you realize only after a long time that the project you have invested in proves to be a scam, just look at many of the past projects on bitcointalk.

Nah, It's easy to spot a project that is potentially a scam. How? Thorough research and experience. Thought you might fall for a scam but not as easy as you think it would be. Usually those who were fall to a scam are those who are greedy and wants to get rich overnight literally in just a snap of a finger like Thanos lol  Grin.
I have been to a lot of ICO's before, but I didn't considered myself as scammed before, but there are just some good projects that fails, thus failing my invested capital.

Obviously, because they don't want to listen to us and never take advice before investing. I'd think that this is a normal scenario and many people would still fall into the hands of scammers because of their wrong beliefs. They trust themselves but that trust isn't enough that is why we should have to open up our mind and tried to listen to the others.

It absolutely scammers won't stop their doings until there is no person could become their victim but it is quite happening again and again. And the awareness that we've given to the community seems to be not really effective and still could be ignored sometimes.
I thought they were just in too much of a hurry. sometimes they see the opportunity before their eyes, but they do not realize that it is a very detrimental thing. at this time so many people who make projects trap others involved in scams, if we are lazy to read and find information about the project that we will invest, then we will be easy to be exposed to scams. Most investors do not know what they are investing in, which is the reason why they are vulnerable to scams.

Maybe they don't research on what project they should invest because they hear from other people that say the project "A" is good to invest for a short term and long term. If that is the case, they will get the same experience because they will not try to find out more about the projects, and they only follow what other people suggest. We should learn from their mistake so we can select the project after we search if the project is good or not. When we cannot find more information about the project, we need to leave the project and try to find another project to invest.

Judging from their mindset, they will most likely learn from the hard way, there is nothing so difficult in trying to understand the nitty gritty of crypto, especially the most basic aspect of it, and what to watch out for not to fall into the wrong hands of scammers,
They prefer to seat and have their monthly returns paid to them without putting any effort, maybe you should advise them to join masternode investment since they are not interested in doing things on their own, that will be a good alternative, i hope this people don't give money to the wrong hands.
