It's really heartbreaking to know that people trust easily online, thereby falling prey to scam easily. I would rather pay some Lil bucks to learn than sending my funds for such purpose. When will people ever get wise? Well, this serves as a lesson. I think the reason why he easily scammed his victims is because of his online presence and also trust built with followers. Sometimes before their exit scam, they do a Lil genuine move to build trust, then hit the major scam and disappear. It's a pity though.

The main target of these scammers are newbies who are uneducated about these scam techniques and send their crypto in greed. It's actually their own greed which makes them lose their crypto. People need to understand that there is nothing called as free money.
It's a fact that they don't target the people that are vocal and aware of crypto's. These scammers whether in crypto or not are targeting those people that are not aware of what they are advertising and what they will be investing. It's a very typical thing to them to target this kind of victim but we're all here and giving warning to the newbies but still many of them becomes a victim because they are acting on their own and we just can't control them and their decision once greed is already in them, thinking that they'll be earning that much if they've invested into it.

It will keep happening. In fact, it might be more in the coming years. The easy-way-to-make-money attitude keeps increasing every day. Especially with the influx of newcomers into the crypto space. Most of the newcomers lack the necessary orientation on how to tread in the space.

People actually give their fiat to traders to trade for them, and it works for some. I think such people are trying to replicate such in the crypto space. But they forget this is a different pace.

People fall victim to scam without knowing they are scam because they can't do research on them and some scam projects are very smart and well hidden, if care is not taken you will easily fall for their tricks
Yes, because scammers are already very smart, so many people are stuck with scam projects, so we clearly have to do research on projects even though it's hard for us to know about scams or not.
Exactly, scammers are always found out new ways to scam people, they're really smart and also people they're not so careful with that. I mean you have to think twice before investing in and ICO project or making any other investment in any project or something else.

You can't just say that because not everyone has the same level of knowledge about the internet, cryptocurrency, digital things, and observation. Maybe for you that's an obvious scam but for others, maybe they don't know. We all can fall and get tricked into something we don't know really well. It's not really ignorance, because it can be learned thru teaching and experience.

I think the key factor is laziness. People spend a huge amount of time and effort on making money, as a result of which they are very tired.
When the opportunity for easy money appears on the horizon, people often turn off critical thinking, which is so much necessary at such moments, and they easily "invest" their money in such adventures.
The result is known to us.
maybe the first point you say is social media prize hunters, I mean almost every social media prize hunter doesn't really care about the projects they participate in, you can see many prize hunters taking part in any project and don't care even if the project they are taking part in turns out to be a fraud or has a red flag on their project's bounty thread.

Pls stop, there is no such thing as easy money, its either you learn or you quit or else you will keep losing money
In my own personal opinion, the reason why there are still people who victimized by scam projects maybe because they are still expecting to receive good rewards from it, or maybe they are lack of knowledge or experience when it comes checking a project to determine whether it is legitimate or not. Honestly, it is really hard nowadays to determine if a project is scam or not because scammers are getting smarter that some peojects looks really legitimate, even you check their whitepaper and website, that is why you cannot blame people why they ended up getting scammed.

We must always be careful and focused because we can be deceived at any time. Don't send bicoin to traders or other currencies for people to trade for you, because no one is a perfect trader. Wink
The professional traders can give a mirror access to the inexperienced traders for following the same trades in social trading applications. The scammers also cost the professional trader a customer, understanding this will make everything clear. The smart trader is not only busy with day trading and he has the right to sell his trading strategy to other traders.

Recent cryptocurrency scams are becoming more and more sophisticated and well prepared so many people know the project is dangerous but still cheated. I think people are still being laundered because they are too greedy to profit without carefully investigating the information leading to being cheated.

Because the majority is still too lazy to read between the lines or generally to search for some kind of information that is needed. Nobody is willing to do a simple research before investing into a project, but everybody wants the highest possible profit.

the first reason is because a new user or someone who has just gotten to know the cryptoqurrency industry so that they are easy to get fraud because of limited knowledge, and the second reason may not only be new people but old users can also get fraud anywhere, because not all projects can achieve success and vice versa.

Exactly, scammers are very skilled this days, sometimes you can't even recognize a scam even if it is in front of you,  not all victims of scam are aware of the situation they find themselves in, while some is as a result of greed.

I hope that something like this does not happen again, and I am sure that the incident involved is a new person who understands crypto. I remember saying that only greedy people lost in this game. Realizing only after the money was gone since scammers are just waiting and wisely tricked those people who are new or greed from this investment venue. In my own opinion, the reason why people still fall victim to scam projects because they are too easy to caught up to their promises that are too good to be true just to attract investors

They are lured to quick and easy profit. I think that everyone could easily start thinking about such opportunities and I bet that all of us have one bad experience when we fell into a scam. So, we learn from mistakes, that is the reason why scammers are alive.

Only two things either they are uneducated or they really don't know that they are investing in something that is a scam if the project is obviously a scam, and they choose to invest on it with the hope that it will not go scam, then it's his fault not, and because of this, he should suffer the consequences.
I am sure they are well educated, maybe they hope that investing at there will not be a scam even though they are aware of the risks that are too high exposed to scams and I think this is their fault they must bear. why many people often become victims of scams because it's all about money, if they or we can be more careful, I'm sure there won't be many victims.
