actually there are many factors but if this is still related to the crypto world I might be able to conclude because many people want to get rich, easily or they are too lazy to try to get rich, so they believe what the scammer has to offer, and to avoid this it might be easier just I'm sure there are always new victims because scammers also usually look for prey on people who don't understand crypto world.

Well, I think the inability to differentiate a legit project from a scam project.  That is one of the reason why many people got scammed on the internet.  Another thing is the trust on the circle of friend.  When one friend suggested something to invest in, we often times go for it without even doing any research due to the trust that it is advised or suggested by a friend and believe that it is all good.

I completely agree with your point and conclude that investment does not depend on the investment of random people or I mean it does not matter but on condition not to fully trust them, do further research from every suggestion they say.

yes you can listen to references from many people but as a good investor you should try to learn about research a project that you want to invest so for the future you can do your own research so that you can become a great investor

Bobby Fischer was right
I have heard once, that things we read appear more realistic to us than the things we hear.
If you think about for a second, it may be hard to dismiss this notion. Written word is usually perfected with the massage its trying to sell you. If there are no language or grammar errors, if the orthography is fine then our shields have the chance to be lowered.
Well composed text, with attractive advertisement, posted or printed in physical form, can be quite powerful in the mind of the reader thanks to interworking of our psyche. In fact, this is your brain that is reading the massage to your conscious self, why would you be lying to yourself? No way, this must be true, so I will buy it twice... My conclusion; it happens so often, because people refrain themself from cross-referencing information.

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

The high return of investments is a obvious scam, I just wonder because over and over and over again, other people haven't learned it. Maybe this is one of the answers, even though they know it's a scam they will still try and risk their money here, Because they know it's here to make money fast! That we should remove it from our habit, so as not to victim another person.

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
There are too many scam projects right now, even some which look good from the outside are high grade scam projects. Most will want to take advantage of the greed of crypto enthusiasts especially by giving huge bonuses or making promises of big ROI. Let's just be extremely careful when making investment decisions, do not invest because others are investing and also do not invest what you can't afford to lose.

maybe because people have no knowledge at all about the crypto industry, take short decisions without looking at investment risks and people are lazy to read or rush to get quick profits but in the end what happens is the opposite.

So many reasons can be attributed to why people get scammed. The first one would be greed, wanting to get so much profit with a little capital, also sometimes like in the crypto space, if you lack the required knowledge, some scammers might take advantage of you, so knowlede of the environment you find yourself is needed. So you know what to do to avoid these scammers
it’s very difficult for new people in this market to get the necessary knowledge because there are too many “professionals” around and people don’t know whom to trust
Actually we no need to trust anyone,for having cryptos we can have it on our own wallet but for the investments most people fall for ponzi like schemes due to their greediness but in real there is no such kind of investment exist.People with basic knowledge can avoid this but what to do they lose their mind when someone say how they become rich stories on internet.

Easy and big money is always promised through the Internet, and no matter how much fraud exists, there will still be people who make the scammers money.  Perhaps it is really greed and faith that you are the one and only, that luck will smile at you, makes people make very bad decisions, and as a result, of course, cheating on the Internet.

Yes, finding out and experience is key to be free from fraud or scammers. It's actually really easy, and if you can prove fraud or a scammer, make an announcement on Scam Accusations or tell another friend.

Because they are stupid enough to fall for it. Most of the people that gets scammed are either because of greed or laziness. They don't tend to know about the site or person before initiating any trade. Again, like you said, greed is another factor. They see offers that are too good and then they end up jumping on the trap. We also see some people who blindly trusts their trader and ends up getting scammed. At least they learn a lesson from this.
People always look to increase their capital and they will not look for the authenticity of the product or the project they are investing all they think about is the profit they can make after investing in it. You can call it greed and the laziness to study about how the company they are investing is planning to make the profits rather than blindly believing what they say and it is sad to say that these people are learning it the hard way.

The main reason behind any scam is lack of knowledge among people that whether this project,person,company is legit or not and the second main factor is greed among people to get rich in short span of time which is only nightmare.People need to know the details first and inquire about it and invest their money after that only because its hard earned money and you can't let anybody take away in Scams.Be aware about this internet world as anything fake can be provided to you and you have no idea what can happen.

The reason why we have to learn everything about crypto is to be aware of its risks and to get rid of scammers. We can't eliminate scammers but we can do something to avoid them. Awareness and knowledge would give us the capability to determine scam and fraud projects. We should also be mindful and careful in all our actions here in the crypto world 
There's a lot of safety precautions available here in this forum and to the internet, so there is no reason for us to be A victim of it. If we value our time and money, we will be careful with it, money is not that easy to earn but easy to lose when  you are not careful with it.

People get scammed easily because some people are extremely lazy and don't  want to work to get money. Laziness alongside greediness  makes people follow the wrong source  just because the offer to be given is of huge amount and the amount to be invested is little.
Dude this is legit. Because of their laziness, they want to earn easily and want to invest with those investment scams that tells them that they have guaranteed profit. But we all understand that when an investment scheme which isn't known promises an amount of return, be scared of it. A start up project is still on the sideways of their business and there's no way for them to give the returns of their investors with promised amounts.
