In my early days in this industry, I got scammed too. in my case, it was a cloud mining site that promises to give you passive income if you invest in their so-called mining machine. The same year those kinds of scams are trending many investors who want to try their luck in investing in BTC often fell to that kind of scam. Thankfully, with the help of the others, they are all got busted and as you can see, no cloud mining company has managed to survive this far. only proving that none of those is a real investment platform to make some money with Bitcoins.

Cloud mining is still a scam. Except a few sites which gives very less ROI, the rest paying cloud mining sites will scam one day, so beware not to invest too much in those.
Rest Newbies think all the bitcoin investments and doubling methods are real one and they will get rich and hence they get trapped by the scammers.

Without proper investigations they invest their money for getting high profit.
Another tendency is newcomers want to make more profit in less effort.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Newbies don't want to learn. They don't want to read. All they want is do. It's the same with other things. You don't want to get a driver license but you want to drive right away. You don't want to risk money but you want to take profit. You don't want to go to school but want a good paid job.

With that attitude you will get burned trying to invest in a shitcoin, a ponzi scam, or trading with high leverage.

Because they lack in knowledge on how to handle situation like scam attempt or joining HYIP scheme but will exit-scam after thsu gathered a lot of bitcoin and other altcoin. This is why some of new investor are backing out once the've been scammed aftef making a transaction of crypto loan.

And i think when creating a new account there should be a thread they need to read first before they will be able to be in outside again. And I've experienced getting scam for many times but i learna lot of from past experiences that can be used in the future about our life.

Newbies tend to trust and believe scammers fake promises, they get easily manipulated because they are not even analyzing the possible outcomes of their decisions and actions. Some of them chooses to disregard the advice and experiences of other people that can help and guide them on deciding which is the best for them, they don't even acquire from their own experiences that's why they always end up facing the same problem and having the same mistake. It's difficult to get rid of scammers particularly these days, you can't just trust someone's words without researching because you can't easily say people's true intention, you don't know how they mind works when it comes to money. There is a huge possibility that they will take advantage of you knowing that you don't have enough understanding on protecting and securing your own funds, they will used it against you and to deceive you so they can get the benefits they wanted.

We all experience that since hyips are been much introduce on social media platforms and I been scam for that since I think those cloudmining sites are legit especially when they show some what they called live feed for their miners. But I think those kind of scams are lessen up these days since provably many people are been educated and can teach newbies to stay away on those platform and I actually notice the changes today compare to the other year.

Even when newcomers have no idea about crypto they come to work on crypto because of greed they are more prone to scams. If work was done without any experience everyone could be rich That's why we need to be aware of crypto and then work.

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 victims.

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.

Not only newbies even long time members of this forum get scam for not getting the latest update on how these scammers works, have you read the latest scam tactics of scammers where they poised as the official channel Youtube channel of reputable projects and exchanges and they offer giveaways, I almost fell to that because they looked legit with their thousands of subscribers.

Scammers do also improve over the years if certain modus or method becomes saturated or known then they would make another one that looks legitimate and havent known yet even
with the oldest members and yes even these people get victimized even they do have enough experience on various things.This is why even youre still a newbie and you do find
something which is too good to be true then it doesnt really cost much time to make a simple google search but people are just too lazy on doing such thing.

Most newcomers have no knowledge of the cryptocurrency market so they cannot protect themselves. Besides, most new entrants in this market for profit should not be able to escape the temptation that the fraudsters offer.
Imagine when a person is blinded for profit he can do anything.

Scammers are caught within the trap of creating an excessive amount of profit during a short period of your time, which isn't right. If most are aware then they're going to avoid being scammed because we aren't aware.

If you found that someone is offering an unrealistic profits which is not possible to earn in short time, then it may be a scam attempt and beware of it.

Quote from: DimitrisLodirogas on January 16, 2020, 04:06:27 AM

Be aware of scammers which means to check everything before taking decision. I mean everything, nearly fell on a scam yesterday.

What do you mean scammers check everything ?

It will be better if you can tell what exactly happened yesterday so that others are also aware of it.

I guess like website's projects who really look professional, for example Bitconnect they had a good story, professional looking website and team, they even had meetings where they would talk you in to Bitconnect, they had a pretty professional scam going on, a lot of people would fall for it and did.

Probably even people who where in Crypto for a longer time thought it was legit for a while.

People who make youtube video's with succes story's will talk new people in to a scam and that is a pretty bad thing I think.
You really need to check everything some of the scammers are quite smart and will try to trick you, and especially if you are new it is easy to fall for the scam.

Why mostly the victims of scam, are newbies?

The answer to this question is simple because they are "newbie" to a certain things. Stuff that they dont know like you said lack of ideas or knowledge. Some persons might abuse this weakness. The only thing we need to remember is when the offer involves money, we need to be careful review it many times, find feedbacks from other users before trying anything.

Indeed there is no better answer than that but that reason are slowly dying because we are in a world where information is just a few clicks away so better to research about something you want to get into before really getting into it so that you won't look like an easy target for scammers. Money isn't that only thing you need to invest here in crypto, time and effort as well.

As long as they have given a warning, they should also be vigilant with the things they are experimenting.

I've seen newbies that doesn't want to listen to our advise that don't invest to something they don't know and yet they have invested to a scam scheme because they think it's easy money and thought that we're not serious giving them warning.
