it is not just about being greedy, it is mostly due to pump and dumps.
in other words everyone is greedy to some extent but when people look at the altcoin market and see a lot of pumps are taking place they become more confident that their assumptions for big profit is possible so they jump in to get involved faster and start making profit but of course the pumps can't last forever and these people always end up experiencing the other side of it meaning the dumps and end up losing money.
all of these are scams not because people lost money but because they were created to be pumped and dumped.

In order to avoid to be scammed, don't go for a transaction without having any idea regard this. It is better to consult to a person who have experienced or ask some advice to a forum. No, not lack of experience but greed. Lack of experience should refrain people from deciding immediately. When you do not know something, what will you do? It is to avoid giving a commitment or making a rush decision. But the story is different when money or the promise of a big profit is offered. When someone is offered a big profit even if he does not know what it truly is, he might jump right into it then and there. It is not lack of experience that pushes him into becoming a victim, it is greed.
I think people have became lazier. They want everything to happen over internet. People are used to home delivering food and clothes and they also want to deliver success.
People are looking for ways to double their money. They can't wait long to see their money rise. They'd rather lose it all then wait a long time for it to grow.
Many people involved in online scams do know they risk their money being involved. It's not a difficult task to realize there are no prince in Nigeria, yet we can't resist sending him a $100 so that he could send us a chest full of gold.

Ignorance is what really makes some people fall on scams. Although it's not easy to distinguish a scam scheme, but we should dig deep into where we put our money into and look for license if needed.
We can say they are just lack of knowledge and experience. I'm pointing to the newbies which are after making an easy profit.They don't even spend their time to learn and understand first before taking any actions, that's why they can easily get scammed in the internet.

they sometimes do not know the limits and therefore they try to find as much profit in investment, and stupidly they do not understand the concept of investment so they are trapped when their funds have entered into the investment. and the last one is probably mostly ignorance starting from lazy reading whitepaper and unable to analyze it

Maybe I think it's because they like it too, So even risky they'll come in because they know they'll make a huge profit if they don't get scammed right away. They want to have Easy money like gambling!
No one is going to invest in promises that will deliver a huge ROI in just one week!
Because many people have this perception of getting rich or getting easy money quickly, the internet is full of bad and good and if care is noth taking you can easily fall for scam project, or investment sites that will promise to give you good returns if you invest so&so amount,
people should be careful with what they believe,
Some people will post screenshot of their investment and the profit they made, this will entice innocent people and they will put money then the next minute the site is gone, they have fall victim of scam.

There are a few main factors:
1. GREED, always at first place
2. FOMO (Fear of Missing out), because of FOMO most people skip the part where they need to make due diligence before giving away cash/coins
3. Inexperience/Lack of knowledge. "A friend of mine told me he's a crypto-guru and this project is pure gold. I don't know what I'm doing, but I will give my money to get rich overnight!" attitude.
When you combine all factors, you have a very easy targets.

You have said it all, there is little or nothing to add after that 
, the reason why people get scammed so easily both online or offline (yes people get scammed offline too) is because of lack of understanding and most especially greed, if you let yourself carried away by the enticing offers given by this con-artist then you will be scammed even before you know it,
when people don't have the right knowledge to detect lies from truth is another issue, some people are so naive that they will believe anything they hear or see without asking question or doing small digging to know more, scammers are very creative and smart so it requires more knowledge and observation to identify them,
people should equip their self with the right knowledge to stay safe, Knowledge they say is power.

Its indeed true, the lack of knowledge is the inability to read and make findings, dont you think if you are not good at technology its best to seek fimancial advice from a reliable person who understands better?
