absolutely agree. Newcomers believe they are lucky and this particular project will bring crazy money. Explore projects with a cool head.Maybe it's not a beginner but a bot designed by someone to participate with a social media campaign, so it's not surprising to me to see it, most all newbies play with article campaigns because the accounts are purely new users, and they play with no caution or choose which project who promise or don't, and are very lazy to read and correct a project, therefore many beginners don't get paid at all from their work, the main thing that must be done so as not to get caught up in a fraudulent project, read, be more thorough, and always check the social media of the team, if there is no guarantee the project is not good if the social media is available the possibility of the project is good . . .

Nowadays, scammers are really scattered around the world, not only in crypto but also on other places, their target is not those that are veteran in crypto already but those who do not know anything 'newbies'. They used techniques to make them look really legit and so that they can attract more people to scam. All we can do is to give warning to newbies but if they still did not believe, we can do nothing.
Yes, people who know bitcointalk and read many "scam" threads on this forum are not the subject of this scammers. But it is just us, there are a lot of crypto newbies out there, and with their greed and lack of knowledge, they easily fall prey to such scammers.

You are absolutely right about that, people still fall victim to obvious scam, that is why they are new and they don't know a lot of things about cryptocurrencies. More than that they want to make money very quickly, but as you know it is not possible as expected. For earning money you need to be patient and wait for right time. The main reason is lack of knowledge, l think when people try learning more things about investing, trading, it would be great and no doubt there are not any people who fall to obvious scam. Scammers try finding new way to steal money, but people would not try finding any way to avoid from them. We should increase our knowledge about cryptocurrency.

It is always greedy people that are victims of scams because they want an easy money or they want to double their asset overnight.
Yes, but if we judge greedy people only by wanting money easily, then there will be a lot of greedy people in crypto, because the average person who is in crypto wants to make money, easy or difficult matters with a certain duration of time I think it is only influenced by the knowledge they already have for now.
, then the next day they’re expecting a catastrophic drop. I think the main reason is greed and stupidity)
FOMO plays a big role here people because of their greediness do not want to be left behind and do not want to be the last to buy when the market price is just starting to rise they want the floor price and sell it when it hit the selling, many falls victim to this scenario and these are newbies.
Of course, many people will going to fall into scam because scammer are very good in convincing their victims and because others are desperate in earning money they tend to believe the scammers.
This is why as much as possible it is good to raise awareness of this problem here in the forum. The admin somehow are already doing some things to tag those projects that are potentially scam and that is the good thing.

It might be obvious scam for us, but not for them because other people may still lack knowledge about this.
Outside cryptocurrency for example in stock trading, there are many people who claiming expert in trading and they offers their trading service to the people who can't trading well.

People get scammed by trying to reap outrageous profit where they have not sow /invest to justify there expectation. Also not knowing everything concerning the offer can lead to an investor been scammed.
Want to make a good profit is not a sin if anyone really an expert about crypto market before a investment.but most of people behave as childish, in crypto when there are so much thing, have need to learn.moreover its hard to find out good project nowadays.top exchanges maybe a best choice Cause they investigation about a project before let that launched by them.
Hi all.
I have 24 uniswap tokens, I want to sell them and invest in one weird defi project.
I'm pretty sure it's a scam, i will buy 50 tokens and i will hope to get rich. ))
I don't have much to lose if they run away with my money, but if the price rises a lot I will buy a house, may be.
This is the whole logic

Because they thought they will get some profit by using other trader's service.
Indeed there are some services like that, we can invest on the project which trades on the market.
But there are many scam trading services as well, they just want to get our money and run.
Yes, the world of trading is also very risky and many also make scams to get money from other people, so to avoid this kind of thing, it's best not to trust third parties that we don't know at all. Indeed there are some services like that, we can invest on the project which trades on the market.

Maybe already wrote, the reason is greed, easy and fast money.
Nobody wants to work their whole life.

It's rather unfortunate that most people are gullible. Some methods deployed by this scammers are obviously very risky, and unbelievable but people still fall victims. I believe it's because of the fake testimonies they see on the threads of the mischievous Scammers. We all need to be careful, because the space is getting riskier by the day.
Add insult to injury, the fact that most of these scams are designed to capture the hearts and minds of the victims, with good imagery, well made marketing tools, sales persons who are there to shower the victims with good things about the project, that they cannot say no and will be able to get money from them.
people are prone to fraud because they are greedy and want to get rich quick in this market. They think they can still make money as easily as they did in 2017. I see a lot of new people in this market in the same situation. always interested in big prizes and not based on prior research.
