Why do scammers scam is a question I ask myself often. I often see people on here attempting to or succeeding in scamming little amounts like $20 worth of bitcoins. I honestly can't see how it was even worth the effort to them. They probably couldve spent their time better on doing something else or earning money legitimately, but no, they have to try and scam it out of people.

Scamming people can give you much money in a little amount of time, but to be an anonimous scammer you have to be really smart.

It's money, simple as that. Anyone who can find an easier way than earning or investing into bitcoin will choose that option because it is the easy option no matter what they are taking from people or how much it affects others. I personally despise hackers and scammers but if they know they can get something easy we will always have them around somewhere.

Money is the root of all evils,those who don't have any skills,knowledge and sense in any field try to make quick money,they see scamming as a quick and easiest way to make some cash.In the long run they end up neither having cash nor any particular skills.The easiest place in this whole world to scam would not be anywhere else other than the internet.

The question is - why do people get scammed?  Roll Eyes

For most of the cases (low-level scams such as ponzi and altcoin IPO), it is because they are gullible and greedy.
But some scams are elaborated and it is not so easy to notice them beforehand.

The next level of a scam, is something like pulling a berne madoff, thats level 2,000.

Where most individuals will give a money to a financial investment firm lol.

Because they believe they won't get caught.
If someone run a ponzi scam in reality, they will get caught and be put in jail.
But if he run it in the bitcoin world, AFAIK, they usually just get away after scamming.

Scam artists scam because there are still people who fall for their scams.

If there were no victims, there would be no scam artists.

Somehow I think these gullible people will always be with us, and so will the scams that follow them. And looking at this community sometimes, I feel it is somehow actually getting worse.... Undecided

That's true sadly.
I don't really understand why people fall for some obvious scams so easily...

When I type in my wallet password i cover the keys, my dog always seems to be hanging around, i don't even trust him  Grin

The dog may be on to you, I'd advise you wiretap your house and set up security cams.

That dog thinks he may be so smart.

Are you sure that is really your dog? Cheesy
