Why mostly the victims of scam, are newbies?

When we saw a post of a person saying they got scam , what we always see is that they have no ideas what is crypto
they are always been the target of this people, if you have a friend that is new , give them an effort and educate them
specially if they don know anything, largely they has been the target of this culprits, taking advantage of their zero knowledge
and promising them of a big return, then suddenly this people disappear, here an article showing how to dodge a scam
https://www.thebalance.com/warning-signs-of-money-scams-315824 stay safe newbies, never trust anyone promising you
something that is too good to be true

I think newbies like myself get scammed because they started to jump right away. As a newbie, I just spent hours reading about crypto, rules, and links from forums before even replying to this thread. It was really tiring to sit down and read while seeing offers that is really promising us of a fast return. It is a disadvantage in the age of Facebook and twitter where we can get informations in a blink of a scroll. The best way to avoid scam is to sit hours reading, learning, researching and double checking. A great investment before jumping into anything.

Thanks for the good read by the way. It is really helpful.

Simply because they don't have much knowledge and experience in the crypto world yet. You need to remind them always to keep in mind that you cannot trust anyone here easily cause there are a lot of frauds nowadays. As long as you show them how dumb and defenseless you are, they will always take advantage to you and will keep on snorting all of the money you have invested. Newbies tend to repeat the same mistake always which is why it is important that they read everything carefully and as much as possible, has a mentor that would guide them of the things they should and shouldn't do here.

Experience is what newbies should get first, profit is not yet matter because they can earn it if the have the experience and the right information. They are easily get scammed because they are not yet familiar about the market. Of course they will invest in a project if they see an investment that can give them high profit in short period of time. Greed is also a factor that makes them vulnerable to scammers.

New in the market are easily get scammed because of their not enough knowledge. They are still beginner where they do not fully understand the information in the market. Scammers are smart that they can easily attract newbies by their skills. For those newbies, try to invest in your knowledge first before you make an investment in projects or in trading of cryptocurrencies.

Newcomers to the cryptocurrency market not only do not have enough knowledge to recognize fraud, they are also gullible. Therefore, they believe that an investment can bring them hundreds of percent of the profit in just a few days. Once they learn more about scams, they can easily identify it as a Ponzi scheme.

Well, not only newbies but also the experienced can get scam in crypto. Also if a newbie account post in bitcointalk and tell you about his story, it does not mean that he is newbie in the crypto world. He may be Newbie on this forum, but could be much older in cryto-currencies.

In addition, an alternate newbie account can be used to create such a theme by a legendary forum member. And this is because an experienced participant is ashamed to admit that he was deceived as a Newbie. I would have done the same in that case) But newbies suffer more because they know less about cryptocurrency.

Well there is nothing to be ashamed of, if you were scammed while you were a newbie in the crypto world and on this forum too. People do mistakes and more important they learn from it. Yeah, if you are again getting scam on the similar event, then you should be ashamed that you keep repeating the same mistake.

The important thing there is we learn from that mistake and hopefully next time we will not became a easy victim for another scam attempt again and we should learn the pattern use by them so that we will be away from bad platforms. And we should remember that to good to be true offer is absolutely scam especially if they tell is you can earn while sleep by just investing in their platform.

Project profile is too specific and hitech, plus you have huge lack or regulations globally. And one comes from another and current mess is pretty much understandable.

The most common reason of newbies' scamming is that they rush in that business almost blindly, but with big expectations. That's why they become victims in hands of big crypto fishes who earn their coins on scamming of such low educated people, I mean in the sense of cryptocurrencies.

It's impossible to be completely anonymous or to buy btc completely for free... Do not trust this kind of websites.

You can remain anonymous by never using centralized exchanges and using only decentralized exchanges. Using TOR and quality VPNs that don't keep logs. Never fill out any KYCs, mix your bitcoin to cover your tracks and don't reuse addresses. Anonymity is possible but it's not easy and not everyone can follow all the rules of the game.

In my opinion, the referral system is the main problem, new investors in the crypto field become the victim of it. Most the time Promotors will get their reward, but those new investors lose their money , as long as the referral system exists, this problem occurs, especially in new projects like airdrop.

Many things that fraudsters can do, the softest target beginners get, with a lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency and investment sites offered by fraudsters.

With the amount of money promised by fraudsters, by carrying out instructions in cheating beginners.

The goal will have a psychological impact on beginners, there are dozens of methods that can be done.
For example:
1. direct communication.
2. The lure of rewards from very high yields on investment returns.
3. Trying to convince beginners as if the original identity is fake.
4. Be very professional.

In this case will make the beginner tempted, sangking tempted what is offered for beginners without thinking logically.

I can only suggest for beginners who are very minimal knowledge about cryoto, be careful in making decisions, on what is on offer.

I do have lot of friends who already got scammed with crypto and everything and I am thankful that I am not getting scammed up to this date. I asked them all on what happened and IMO, the main reason that they got scammed is because they lack of knowledge on what's real and what's not. Like they were literally believing what someone is saying.

I have heard this kind of scenario to one of my friend. It happens when he is a newbie in crypto he doesn't know anything. Lack of knowledge indeed that's why mostly got scam easily. They think that as a newbie it's easy to handle without knowing and learning the process in crypto.

It is so easy to get scammed in the cryptocurrency world, so it's good to stay wary. I often see that people expect to buy btc the cheapest and anonymous. Both statements are wrong. It's impossible to be completely anonymous or to buy btc completely for free... Do not trust this kind of websites. I also recommend to check this video, great content when it comes to cryptocurrency scams and safety in the crypto industry:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83JnxuUUJ5o

Newbies get scammed because they only think about the possible profits that they can make. Greed and stupidity in combination with a lack of common sense.
Stupidity not in the sense that they are idiots, but stupidity in the sense that they have no idea what crypto is. They have heard that it is possible to profit from it and that is all they see.
If you are cautious and believe that people will not give you anything for free, you will not become a victim to most of these scams.
Apply the same logic you use in real life to the online world and you will be safe. If a random person on the street asks you to show him your wallet because he wants to buy a new one and he wants to see the design, will you do it?

Nowadays anyone can be scammed but newbies are scammed soon because before knowing anything they jump to conclusions and due to lack of knowledge regarding the project. Before joining any kind of project do your own research and make sure that you are on the right platform.

Because they are newbies,they don't have enough experience with investments on schemes so they trust random advertisements and ends up getting scammed but not only newbies even veterans also get trapped due to negligence.

Newbies should avoid plans like these:

1. Bitcoin doublers - you can get your bitcoins doubled in a day or week.

2 Cloud mining

3. Deposit bonus - deposit 0.1BTC and get 1BTC in return.

Haha
I once got an email offering me 30% of my btc within 24hours and sadly enough, some newbies will fall for it easily.
This space is filled with lots of scammers, and until a final resolution has been put in place to curb all of that, a lot of scammers will still fall victim.

Scammers will never fade away as long as stupid greedy people who wanted to make money more easily.

One pro tip, making money is not that easy if it is then everyone will become a millionaire in few months.
