Lack of knowledge is a fact. Once they've seen people making off it, they won't do research on how exactly these people made money.
The thing that's on their mind is that 'this guy made money on bitcoin'. In which, everything that has associated with bitcoin is going to be a money-making machine for them. And sadly, many of them fell for those ponzi scams.

From my opinion, people are not able to talk with those scammers face to face thus only from the words they wrote on the internet, it's hard to tell if they are true or not. Also, scammers are from all over the world, so they are not like people who live near you, they will lure you with high return investment or project, once they got your money easily, they default easily. The cost to scam on the internet is very low.
Snip
One of the main reason is basically the lack of knowledge. People nowadays are mostly dumb because they are always long for convenience wherein instead of reading the whole content of something, they would just scan it quickly without even carefully reading all the details. Carelessness at its finest when they just click and join something right away without even having a background or history check. We should keep on reminding them to pay attention and avoid such behavior so that the scammers wouldn't get feeded by their infos and money.I agree with you man, lack of knowledge is the biggest problem. I always point that out, people need to be more educated if they wish to be successful in the long run. I think that reminding them is useless, we have on this forum so many topics with same headlines, many good comments and advises, but people are to lazy to read all that, to check out what others have to say about something.
I think that its easy to scam people everywhere! How many times we have seen that in the past? Do you know who is Ponzi, and why ponzi scheme have that name? How many investment companies scammed people for huge money? People are victims because they are greedy, they fall on huge promises about high ROI. When I see promises about fast ROI I close the window! I will repeat once again for all the people and for myself, if it sounds too good its probably a scam.

I believe that some people believe that they are smarter than others and can just come to any project and earn money in it, while not having knowledge and skills. This self-confidence often leads them to fraudulent projects. I personally know several cases when they turned to me for advice and I said that this was a fraud suggestion and even provided evidence. People told me thanks for the information and still went to this scam. After they lost money, they came again and complained that they had lost money. So it turns out that they think that they are the smartest and now quickly earn for free. But as the practice shows, they lose money very quickly.
Well.. I am someone who got scammed multiple times in the internet. Back then, I was too young and my mistake was that I used to blindly trust strangers. I lost a lot of money, but even then I am glad that I learnt a few lessons in my life as a result of these scams. I took each one of these scams as a lesson. And made sure not to repeat them in my life thereafter. And I am glad to say that no one has managed to scam me for the last 4-5 years.

Major reason is that they are lack knowledge about the internet itself, they tend to forget that all information in the internet isn't real well, half real but not absolutely real. Second reason is that, they need something that has been shown in the internet. Lastly is that those information in the internet seems to be real; sugar-coated words persuades them to engage on those scam stuff over in the internet.
Usually fraud is more often the result of greed and lack of knowledge before investing. Most people will not think long if they see many benefits to be gained if investing in the project, and this greed occurs due to their lack of knowledge in investing so this will make it straightforward for fraudsters to persuade them to want to invest in the fraud project.
My advice, before investing more should find out in advance about the project from reliable sources, and do not be easily tempted by a very lucrative offer from a project before you are convinced if the project is truly trusted.
Greedy is a normal human attitude trying to get something more than what has been obtained. I think most people have this attitude in crypto, because of opportunity and ability. But if this is not supported by experience, knowledge and analysis then loss is a sure thing to accept. Cryptocurrency is full of speculation, so sweet words and promises from project developers are common here. So in my opinion its very reasonable if this causes many casualties. My advice, before investing more should find out in advance about the project from reliable sources, and do not be easily tempted by a very lucrative offer from a project before you are convinced if the project is truly trusted.
People also get scammed because of their lack of education. If people are fully aware of the number of scammers on the internet. It's better to be media literate to avoid getting scammed.
There are also cases that even if you're cautious enough but some people are just very good at convincing and manipulating others, it's easy for them to scam people.
It's easier to scam people here on the internet because you can give wrong information and there's a lot of internet users nowadays are not really a techy people. They're just adapting to the mainstream but not really good at it.

The scammer will not stop, always looking for a gap / effort to find the next victim. the internet is the best place or platform for scammers, as reported by wikipedia [1] "in 2017 the Internet Crime Complaints Center (IC3) received around 300,000 complaints". woww that's not a small number and at this time scammers are turning to crypto, so it's becoming a trend right now. I agree with the OP, which is the factor of greed and it is difficult to avoid, because in reality it is pure human nature, but at least we can reduce the nature of it.
one way to minimize undesirable events is that we must be aware of greed. no sudden rich words, everything needs a process and must want effort from scratch.

I am always attentive to details and still once fell for the fraudster's deception and gave him 500$. No one is ever safe from this, you can get caught on any stupid little thing.
More and more scammers are developing because new investors have also begun to emerge. This is the right target for scammers to launch their actions by making SCAM projects with high profits. New investors who are greedy and don't do research in advance will get into their trap. We all need to remain vigilant and do research in advance which projects will be followed, don't be fooled by scammers.
crypto and its investment are not free from fraud because of the fundamental reasons there is no legal power that provides protection and certainly there is no absolute legality for crypto and crypto currencies can be used anywhere and anyone so that makes fraud will be easy to do What is Scam?

Aside from greed, ignorance is also the lethal flaw of some people in this industry. They tend to trust a project so easily because they are ignorant to what the project really is. I am not just talking about the legitimacy of the project in terms of the reliability of the dev team. I want to also point out that when you invest in a project, you should also share their vision and mission, not just to gain profit.
We are to be blame for any action we take on the internet, i don't expect people to trust others easily since you can't see them physically, i don't expect people to look for easy money because they will only lead to their doom, greed should be put aside and make your profits worth the work done
making mistakes like this should be remembered and not to allow repeating it again and again, trusting someone you don't really knows is a mistake that mostly being committed by many people around the net, leading them to become victims of scams and hacks. Do your research and always find ways to protect yourself in any possibilities of getting harmed while you are working online. Jump to:
