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.
The people who don't really care about advice commonly come from beginners. They are just too confident with their beliefs although they still have a lack of knowledge related to crypto investment/trading. While for experienced ones, they must know that it will be stupid by relying on confidence without deep research and considering people's advice.

depends on the people and on his/her advice  . if you dont know the person why you will trust them and you dont also know if they are only saying a lie  .

newbies will mainly believe on others because they arent confident of thier decision but its not good all the time in my opinion  . veterans and pro wont depend on other because they have adequate knowledge   .  id rather do research own my own because i know to my self that i can do what others can do .

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.

In as much as it's in the nature of virtually every cryptocurrency enthusiasts to try help noobs or people who perceived the idea of cryptocurrency, blockchain and bitcoin wrongly, there's a limit to how much you can really help people course some people just ought to learn the hard way. What they don't understand is that cryptocurrency isn't some wonderlands where you just put money and boom you gets 1000+% ROI.

I've been approached severally with questions like,  if i invest so so amount in bitcoin how much will i realized in a months time and I'll be like hey brother,  it doesn't work that way, and one thing i noticed is that if you ain't telling them what they actually wanted to hear,  you will see disinterest of your advice well written on their faces.

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.

It is very difficult not to fall into the hands of scammers because scammers make promises that not exist in the real world.

Well, that what it makes skeptical for people to put their trust on. Most of the scams, just like what you mentioned is way too good to be true, easy money with an easy task with an unfamiliar way of earning it is always a scam, in my opinion. Sugarcoated words make those scams so irresistible for those people who are after the profits in a very easy way of earning it.

We can't call them lazy though, the right term is that they are demotivated for doing works that give them real money without them losing any amount of money in their wallet. The only key to avoid scams is to be more aware by researching stuff about such things or asking people about it first if it is trully legit.

Some people are just lazy and only want a good result without working hard to pursue it. Bitcoin needs further understanding and we must have basic knowledge on how to access it. If we're lazy to learn things about it, we'll surely be another victim of scams and fraudulent.
Knowledge and awareness are the weapons that we could have against scams. Crypto investment still needs a little hard work and we could gain the profit that we want out of our capital instantly.

What I see in all those scams around the cryptoshere  is greediness, I could still remember when i in was still new to bitcoin, my aims was to become rich without the knowledge of Bitcoin and it technology. This landed me into a serious scam in 2017, when I was scammed €1000 approximately. From there after I learned how to eventually carryout a simple research before  investing into any project, many investors are too lazy to read in between lines of  these projects offered. Let's be wise to avoid  these arant scam.

Yup, I found the same thing with some Venezuelan dude here in France, he told me he's always been interested in "investing" and asked me how much money I could give him back daily/weekly. I tried explaining that's not how any of it works but he didn't give a fuck. Not to say nationality was a issue, people are just lazy in general.

The worst reality is that people have accepted Bitcoin as their next best get-rich-quick scheme where they will invest their money and double it a day after. I don't understand why they don't get a simple fix done to their mind that there can't be any thing so easily gained, and we need to work hard to achieve what we expect from our life. They choose not to look into how things work, they choose not to understand that in this world nowadays, almost every thing is full of scams and nobody can be trusted so easily and when they get scammed, they complain. They should not do it if they don't have the time to learn about what they are going to buy exactly because without complete knowledge, even I will not let my grandson buy an Apple stock.

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.

This is not really surprising, you must understand that most people do not really want to learn how to manage their money, they know that will be a lot of work so they are always trying to find someone they can delegate their money and just obtain some monthly profits but the markets do not move like that, just look at bitcoin and the year of 2018 which was so negative, anyone that earned any amount of money during that time frame is a really good trader since the markets conditions were awful at that time and expecting any kind of monthly return was ridiculous under those conditions, but people simply do not get it and they will keep being scammed since scammers can make any promises they like since they have no intention to fulfil them.

We do hope that they shouldnt really go to that path but just let them be because learning will comes next when they do experience loss of money.
I do appreciate on the effort youve been doing but its no surprise that people are just too greedy to neglect to those people who do have more experience than them.
Pretty sure that they would call you back and tell you that theyve been scammed and asking for some tips of advice on how to recover their money.  Tongue

That's one of the biggest problem with the investors, they are too lazy to inform their selves on how they can evade scams. If only they are going to make sure that every transaction they make are safe through carefully observing the person involved in it or whenever they are joining campaigns, they read the whitepaper thoroughly and check the background of the team involved, then we wouldn't have anyone getting scammed. At the same time, the number of scammers would decrease as they fail to steal other people's money.

Yes because scammers have a way on improving their scheme's.
They are being very clever to pull out some schemes to lure out some investors.
We have seen it here in crypto industrythey started at HYIP, Pyramid Scheme's then when ICO's bloom they also open up their own scam projects,
They would do anything go with the trend and do what they could to make it look's realistic.
Yep, we are all aware of the scamming tactics but scammers do their plan B in order to succeed with their plans. Ain't wondering why still there are people been caught into this scamming scheme is because they are also not changing their minds. Lack of knowledge still evident in the market and most newcomers are the victims of this.

It was a sad note that they just suffer big losses at their first step but we can't decline this scenario especially when we don't listen to other's advice and not even doing simple research. That is actually their fault and scammers will hunt those people that could easily be trick.

If you’re trying to help someone on not getting scammed and they refuse to listen to you, there is no need to stress yourself by begging them. You have done your best part by telling them everything they need to know about it and if they refuse to listen and decide to still go for the wrong thing they are doing then it is up to them and they can go ahead to lose their money, I believe experience will be the best teacher for such foolish people that never wants to listen to the advice that they are being given.

I have come across such people and I tell them they are about to do the wrong thing and they still insist that they will do it because they feel it is too good and will be true. So leave them. Because we are having lots of responsibilities in our life and just following them is not our high priority work. Even I'm not full heartedly leaving them, I am not having any other option by considering my other responsibilities.

I think people like that are only thinking about making a big profit and not thinking about the worst possibility if they put their money into a scam project. And the most important thing is that we have informed and educated them as much as possible. That has also happened to many of my friends, and finally they realize that a program like that is only deceptive for ordinary people.

Yes, they never learn from other people mistake, and they never learn how to prevent the scam. They only follow what other people suggest without searching for other news. If they can do that, they will be able to avoid the scam, and even they will have more information, and they can be able to improve their knowledge in cryptocurrency. That will be useful for them to determine the scam that will come to them so they can know if the news or project is good or not to join.

If new people actively searched for more information, they can protect themselves from scams, and they can also know what they need to do. It requires time before we know if the project will be a scam or not and only with researching from many sources that can help us to know to avoid the scam.

Absolutely yes, this issue is completely widespread in this domain, and unfortunately most of people don't want to learn from their failed experiences, and they are making the same mistake everytime. Furthermore, I see that these scam projects are trying to attract  Bitcoin's community through some fake products  and most of newbies are easy fooled to be honest due to they are pretty greedy and it is really one of their weaknesses.
Those who are falling into a scam are either a newbie investor and a lazy investor.

If you are a newbie, it is ok if you will fall into this kind of scam because you are just new to this kind of investment but as a newbie you must know too that you shouldn't invest into something you don't know. As a newbie, it would be better if you do some research first before investing.

On the other hand, a lazy investor is someone who got scammed already but didn't learn from his mistakes and remains a lazy one. Don't want to do some research and choose to just invest into something he doesn't even understand. This is a wrong mindset. As an investor, if you really want to get profit you must learn from your mistakes and at the same time get information that will help you.

Scam has been around for so long as long as there are greedy people who would do risk anything in order to gain what they want then for sure scam wouldn't end.
If there isn't someone who would fall to their trick then scammer would surely get tired and stop or look for other things to earn money.
Scammer doesn't stop from scamming people because there are still some who believes on their tricks or lies.

That's normal because until now there are still people who viewed bitcoin like a HYIP.

Scammers are pretty smart on convincing people, maybe they'll start by saying, bitcoin when started was $1 and look at the price now, so that alone would already attract people with no enough knowledge about bitcoin but as usual later they'll regret and understand, and worst if they still failed to understand despite making a mistake by falling to the scams.
They are basically knowledgeable because as the time passes by, people are learning allot so they need to surpass the knowledge that the majority has to attract and scam people. It seems like they are more superior and trustworthy if it seems that they know allot about cryptocurrency. So, as a solution to this, we need to further expand our knowledge to somehow have the capability to detect them and to probably avoid them at any case.


I will take time before they will learn, let's just accept that that's the trend since its impossible that all of us will earn, but eventually the market will mature due to people are getting more educated.
For them to learn their lesson, we need to turn scam occurrence to nearly 0 percentage where they could not earn even a single penny by scamming people and this could be achieved by utilizing tools we have now, mainly built for security. And lastly, considering to be personally responsible for the decisions that we make especially when talking to people we didn't know.
