BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
  • Many are actually newbies who got directed here through SEO
  • Some are old users who likes privacy
  • Some are fake accusers wanting to spoil the reputation of a project. Most times created by their competitors
  • Newbies are liable to fall for scam more than established members.

Some of the reasons I can think of

If there is something that needs to be fixed, it is the fact that most scam accusations can be better put as complaints and not actual scam attempts from the business, but newbies should not be expected to act a certain way, especially under the stress of pending withdrawals.

There should probably be a separate board for complaints, or the complainer can just use the existing thread of the said company to lay their complaint. In some cases, where it could just be a misunderstanding and misinterpreted information, cases like that can easily be solved and status changed to resolve, which I have noticed a few times on the scam accusation board.

Some have certainly made some Google search which bring them there I guess.
My deepest guess too, because they can only have the time and time to start searching for either a solution or the best place to report a scam, which this forum will come out as part of the suggested places.

Some have certainly made some Google search which brought them there I guess. Other want to stay anonymous, because the platforms(casinos, exchanges,...) know their IP address, their fingerprint and their email address or even their identity when a KYC has been made, and they don't want the platform owners to be able to link those datas to their Bitcointalk account. Few others maybe don't want to share clues about the amount of their assets, want to avoid any retalation here or are maybe just ashamed.

It’s simple logic, because it’s mostly the newbies who often experience scams, whether it’s fake or real. Everything in their eyes seems new for them, and once they think there is wrong, it’s so easy for them to file for scam accusations, even without doing their due diligence at first.

Lack of experience, misunderstanding, overcaution, fear of losing money, and sometimes community influence, these are some of the reasons why newbies often resort to making the most of scam accusations reports.

First of all I can categorically say most of the complaints or scam accusations we actually see on the forum are not newbies but rather old and old experience members behind the accounts. Some people have high regards for their privacy and wouldn’t want the forum to know they open this accusations. If you look at how the scam accusations threads are created in detailed form and also been placed in the right board you will know that this isn’t a newbie. A newbie cannot simply get scammed and they find their way to the forum with scam accusations, it is some old forum users who will be behind it.

Also the lack of experience, misunderstanding and sorts mentioned above aren’t even cases now for scam accusations. An experienced person can easily get scammed either by the casino delaying the withdrawal or eventually the withdrawal process doesn’t go through and the supports is yet to give a good response

Why is scam accusation reports filling are mostly made by newbies?

Is there anything to have caused this or that we suspect being the reason behind why newbies mostly report, are the experienced users not having reports to make or some of them are still under the guise of newbie in making those reports.

In this crypto world, scams are prevalent and most people falling into this scams are newbies who have little or no knowledge about how this works. Why newbies are of the higher numbers of people making those reports is because of whom they are in the first place- newbies; which they can easily fall scams. Another reason we may also see a newbie reporting more often is direction of them to this forum to lay their complaints especially on a casino that is reputable here, seriously their reps won’t hesitate not to answer to their needs immediately.

If the high rank members do have reports to make about some scams and don’t decide to use their accounts to make such reports, maybe they’re just trying to be more private or cannot boldly face the fact of what they really want to report about.

Those are alt accounts, because the reportes is chicken-shit not to report with his real account.
This way, he reports a "scammer" or alleged scammer, and no one know who did it.

This is true because i also used to wonder that how would a newbie know the right board to post scam accusation and how did they even get to deal with those accusation when they are still inexperience as a result of fact that they are still newbies. What just comes through my mind is that those newbies account might be operated by high rank members in the forum who doesn't want to expose their main account simply because they might be in a casino signature campaign and if they use their main account they might risk being removed from the campaign if the scam accusation is falling directly to the casino they are advertising their signatures. What i also notice is that it's always scam accusations about casinos that newbie account reports but for other scam accusations, they can use their main account to report it just like in the case of a loan defaulters because if the lender don't open the scam accusation with their main account, it will be difficult for people to believe the OP if they use a newbie account.

because a lot of them are most likely just found out about this forum or are only active once in a while(there is also the possibility that they are just alt accounts), and it makes sense since once they experience an issue with a platform they find forums or community that could possibly help them navigate through it or resolve the issue and that is what this forum could potentially provide.

But its such a pity that these same people would have failed to learn the necessary things needed in other to avoid what they have experienced, had it been they made the search from the first place, they wouldn't have found any reason of making reports for not getting to wrong sites...
It is not always about research.
I will use casinos to give a scenario: a reputable casino can give one issues when withdrawing or trying to pass KYC, this is not due to a mistake the user made, they did their research and followed all the rules.

If there is something that needs to be fixed, it is the fact that most scam accusations can be better put as complaints and not actual scam attempts from the business, but newbies should not be expected to act a certain way, especially under the stress of pending withdrawals.

Ideally, folks should research first before jumping the gun to whatever endeavor. However, sadly, not everyone make such habit and are equipped with the right amount of skepticism, hence they are more susceptible to scams. Typically, their alarm bells only rings in situations such as they can't get their money out at their own will, in which case, it is already too late.

For instance, you might be surprised people are still falling from the old easy-to-spot scams. and I don't think it will ever stop, TBH. I'm convinced, there is simply an endless supply of susceptible folks.

Also, sometimes newbies are the only ones not experienced enough to fall for a scam

There may be a few reasons here.
- First of all, I think we should not forget that there is a huge community outside our forum community who are connected to gambling or crypto. When they fall victim to a scam, they will definitely not be able to come here and create a scam accusation thread as a higher rank member in the beginning.

- Secondly what I think about this is some people's were care their privacy and I think everyone has a different definition of privacy in their life, so I won't say anything extra about it.

-Thirdly if there were the heaters around of that project or casino that can be also cause for this.

- Fourthly Abusers always try to have some money by creating fake accusations by blackmailing the casino's.

please notify me if this does not belong here, so i can move the thread where its more appropriate.
Good question that I have once thought about myself.

My thoughts are that these newbies are doing the same scam accusation reports on the other gambling forums on the internet where they know that the casinos involved are present. They are looking to get attention.

If you have noticed they'll always say that the casino reps have stopped any form of communication with them. They want to draw the attention of any of the casino reps on the forums that can help them out.

Some people only happen to discover this forum when they have lost something to scammers or they are having issues with a casino. From their search, Bitcointalk is being suggested as the best place to get genuine help from; there could be more to it, but until some people get scammed, they don't have the time and energy to run research about the product they are using.

I just thought about this and want to hear our own respective approaches as well as opinions to it, while i was going through the scam accusation board, i noticed so many recent and past reports with different accusations, which apparently we could discover some to be genuine while some not to be, but what spark my reaction most is about the accounts that often make most of these reports to be newbies.

Now here is my question.

Why is scam accusation reports filling are mostly made by newbies?

Is there anything to have caused this or that we suspect being the reason behind why newbies mostly report, are the experienced users not having reports to make or some of them are still under the guise of newbie in making those reports.
