Main scam presence reason is people's greed of course, that's true

Not only investor's greed, but also ICO admin's one, heh

The other reason is lack of regulation and proper laws in this sphere, that's the other big factor.

Following Your logic, you can consider all investors-greedy.But this is not the case.Investors, having the funds for investments, invest them and wait for profit. I'm not talking about fraudulent projects, but for working projects, investors are the air for them.As for the scammers, I can say that people peck at them for various reasons.Someone became interested in the project, and someone decided to make money quickly.

People are easily scammed on in the Internet because of the rule "easy come, easy go". It is so easy to earn on the Internet (comparing to some other professions) and people are very relax doing purchases online or sending money. People are more easy to be caught off guard.

The internet does have quite a lot of freedom, so there are quite a lot of scams with the internet. plus the ability of users is also not good that can make these people trapped in fraud. maybe because they are not looking for complete information, and easy to believe that can make them fall into the scam

Personally, I think that all newcomers will fall for the bait of scammers. And for scammers, this is the best source of income. So beginners should be very careful and not give in to easy ways to make money on the Internet. Since a person loves a freebie and do nothing. And it is precisely these people who are in trouble on the Internet. So to avoid scammers you need to consult with people who already have extensive experience on the Internet.

This era is where the boomer generation whos already have much money then want to greedy multiply their money with the internet and get baited by the internet ads. So i think this era will end in the future. Kids right now are already involved with tech since childhood so when they grow up they won't trust scams anymore.

When something sounds too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true, unfortunately due to economic hardships or other reasons, people are desperately wanting these investment opportunities to be true no matter how absord they look and they back up with false faith with monetary investments and in the long term, they turn into victims of scams, people should always bear the golden rule of online investments in mind... If it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true.

What is Scam?
Scam is a dishonest scheme that is carried out by an individual or groups of persons in mode of taking away something that is valuable to others. Those who perform these acts are reffered to as scamers.

How do people get involved, how easily are people scammed and reasons?

Many individuals think of the internet as a get rich quick scheme and once they are exposed to any form of investment promising high ROI, witjout a second taught they jump onto it, you and I as well know how this will end? In a nutshell, GREED is a factor

Secondly the inability to conduct research and make real findings on our own. All this as a result of laziness.

Add yours!!

I entreat all of us to be on the look out for scan projects, make our findings and proof beyound doubts their scam intentions and also avoid been greedy when making an inveatment

That's right. Many people take advantage of this where greed will make that person easy to get into the trap. Especially for new investors who do not understand and understand what cryptocurrency is, which makes it easy for them to be interested in what others have to say, not only new investors, investors who have also been getting scams for a long time because they are lazy to do their research. be alone and only participate based on what other people or their friends say.

The main reason is they want an easy money. When they heard the ROI that is very high, they were just giving away their money to temptation.

They don't even bother to do some research first. And when they got scammed then they knew that they were too greedy and hungry for money.

If you think you're smart, well, scammers might be a little bit smarter than you are.

Yes, it is greed that makes them fooled easily by scammers. These group of people or syndicate use the internet as one of the easiest platform to scam people. The users or investors are not that vigilant for these kind of people, what they are looking for is the quick-scheme offered without doing anything but have high ROI.

Making Smart Money Work

Desires to make one dream come true can be a weak point most times if care is not taken, this can easily wake greed in us because greed is a living part in all humans just as we all have fears, scam moves are always too good to be real, if you belief this short word of mine you will withstand any tempting offers from scammers

There are a lot of offers on the Internet about quick profit. This is used by scammers. The cryptocurrency market also has many offers to make money quickly. Each investor must learn and understand the offers with which he plans to work and invest in them. And many people do not understand and invest their money in dishonest projects. Therefore, they lose money. Be careful. Good luck to everyone in business.

To answer the OP question, we have many reasons:

- People always greedy, what do you think about free airdrop or something? That's a rat trap, you still to get money but not too much as you expected.

- The scammers always smart, yeah, you know. They are good to find a new trick. So, you must get into the trap many times before you can dodge that. No pain no gain.

indeed one that makes many people easily fooled because it is usually greedy and easily influenced by something on offer that he thinks can provide many benefits, and usually the experience is still lacking too much to make many people easily fooled as happens a lot around you.

Please also include that other people get easily scammed because of their IQ, they are not that smart to understand what scam is, they easily trust people and that is all they know, it is very unfortunate but yes, there are people like that, they need guidance most of the time. People like this use their heart instead of their brain, because that is all what they have, and scammers like these kind of people because they are easy money for them.

I am not so sure this is about the IQ of someone, this is about the trusting nature of people, if you ask a question to a person and you get an answer you tend to believe that whatever you are told it is the truth.

I know that this is being very naive but most people are like that, so when they see a project promising all kind of stuff they tend to believe it is the truth even if we know that most likely a project that makes all kind of amazing promises is never going to deliver.

Never analyze about some ICOs or altcoin project before investing, many people just get recommendation from the other to invest with some altcoin or ICOs project, never check details about how trusted or ICOs project for investing, will give opportunity to earn profit or lost money with ICOs, just trust with some one ask him for investing there and never want to get reviews first with their project investment.

They do not study and not being so careful to the steps they take. They should study first what I mean is that if you want to invest in some ICO. You should know first their whitepaper since the plan is all stated there. There are lots of scammers out there so we should be aware of our moves and decision because they are offering good things that are not true so dont trust anyone you dont know just because they are offering. In terms of trading you should be careful on the website you are using or the trading site you are using because not all of them are trusted.

Scam are successful when we are finding a way to get out of our financial insecurity. This can even happen like offering remote works and not paying off after the work. As you mentioned that it is all possible on internet. Even though you have a MOU between both the parties even then you can be scammed.

I'd say it's primarily greed and the desire to earn something while doing very little to nothing. It's like a pipe dream that society forces unto us, "earning money while doing nothing is good." If you weren't taught how to think critically and assess opportunities before jumping in then you will most likely be scammed.

Sadly, what can we do? We can post all we want, announce scam projects, tell people to be careful, but in the end if they don't listen nothing will happen and people will still fall prey to predatory online scams.

Nothing can be done for people like that, people need to understand that those that got huge success during their lives are those that work really hard for what they have.

You cannot really obtain something for nothing, no ones gives money away just because, we need to work for it, even those which are capable to obtain profits from icos are not obtaining money for nothing they are using their knowledge to tell which coins will go up in value and invest early, if anything they are taking a huge risk because if they are wrong they can lose most of their money.

Maybe you can add, lack of knowledge about technology. Most people has the money to invest but lacks knowledge on what and where they are going to be involved to. Not understanding the whole scope of the project, the purpose and it's potential. Also, you can add greed, most investors aim for profit, that is why scam developers create a project that shows a good profit acheme to attract greedy investors.

I'd say it's primarily greed and the desire to earn something while doing very little to nothing. It's like a pipe dream that society forces unto us, "earning money while doing nothing is good."

Probably the most important reason that I find on why people get scammed on the Internet is the lack of common sense.

If you make a quick search about how to earn money on the Internet you are going to find many websites claiming to be able to make you a millionaire in a very short amount of time, but if that was true do you really think that they would be giving that information for free or for a very small cost? When you ask yourself that question is easy to see those promises are nothing but lies.

Lacking of common sense is one thing, having no capability of determining whether such kind of promise is just imaginary or too good to be true is another thing. Most of people are already put a suspicion when they are being shoved with such promises but there's always some people that could lure them into investing anyway. Those people are taking advantage of the greedines of their victim therefore even if they got common sense they will still get tricked. I've seen too much people being tricked that way despite the many news that highlight this kind of scam they'd still think that some might be a real thing.
