becasue they didn't learn to make money by being legit, they think that they are ultra cool by scamming.
To get easy money,obviously,maybe some just enjoy hurting people,but mostly they do it for money.
yes,easy money and by nature even.

Asking why do scammers scam is silly. Why do people steal? Many reasons but greed. I guess maybe some are addicted to it and get a buzz like gambling or something too.
Well, I guess it boils down to something as simple as this:
Somebody you don't know and who doesn't know you gives you $1,000,000 to hold for him while he attends to other things. He's gonna pay you $1000 for your time and effort.
If there's no way for him to ever find out who you are and you start to think about the difference between 1 mil and 1000, for a lot of people, temptation eventually creeps in.
Sad but true.

It's a combination of things.
While we work for our income, most scammers, do not, so they have time, to plan elaborate schemes, to con people out of their money. Some are even too lazy to think of their own scams, and copy cat other people.
Why would you work hard, if you can easily scam other people out of their money? Laziness & Greed.
Well and then you get people, who do it for the kick. {Example - White hat hackers, do it, to see if it's possible, but they repair and replace what they have done, and get nothing out of it, sometimes they even report the vulnrabilities, but then you get the script kiddies, who write no code, just copy someone else, and then boast about their hack, amongs their fellow script kiddies, to feel important.}
We will always have people who believe in hard work for money, and those who will lie and steal to get to the hard workers money.
Only thing we can do, is to expose them early and then to report them, for everyone too see.

I think it's a combination of factors:
1.) Relatively easy to get away with it
2.) Extreme short-term memory loss regarding those burned typically (most people know perusing these scams is going to take even more time and resources than they are worth..obviously there are exceptions to this)
3.) Greed
4.) Always new people getting into bitcoin (thus fresh meat for the scammers)

It's simple, because they are greedy and lazy doing regural work to make profit.
Some people are simply opportunistic, and go for the short term score -- even when the idea holds promise. Partly, I'm sure, someone who comes up with a great business idea but has no interest in actually operating it, might be tempted to sell the dream...
Might be more profitable in the long term. That's not interesting to scammers. Quick cash is king.
probably has to do with being a sociopath, imo. 
why scammers scam? i think its easier to scam then to make a real project with taking the responsibilities and of course because of greed
Well in my opinion because i faced a scammer .. He makes a software for desktop wallet to hack all money he just send the software to the all peoples to open the he get all money when someone opens it dont know how he create it.. but i think they scam because they want money but this is not the way to get money.. well i say dont scam now.. i will tell you how to get about 10 dollars per day easily or bit less or bit high it depends on you.. Then he say i will not scam just tell me .. he promise dont know its promise is real or not.. But i think if we guide scammer a right way to get money easily or just tell him a good way not a wrong way and guide him with ease then they will turn back to a good person from scammer ..

Lol it looks like crack (not that I would know). Check his username .
. What the hell is that?
Feta Cheese, I would Kill A Man.
When it would be more profitable to stay legitimate instead?
For example there was Stackcoin. Its dev had an IPO that raised 70 BTC. It had an interesting idea and screenshots were posted showing the concept being developed. Wouldn't it have been more profitable to just develop the coin instead?
Or the Sharexcoin exchange. A lot of development went into that site and the site was a fully functioning exchange which would have been a good long term investment for the site owner. But instead the owner decided to scam its users by closing the site and running off with its users' coins. I think he was later caught trying to sell 24 million QORA on Poloniex which they were able to identify and seize.
It doesn't make any sense.

Because we live in anonymous world where greed is controlling our mind
