something that is too good to be true

Obviously, the main reason why most of the newbies are prone of getting scammed is because they lack knowledge about what they are doing. It is a dangerous thing actually, entering something without having enough idea about its system or benefits and even danger. You should make yourself more knowledgeable on what's in crypto and on how you can evade scams that you may possibly meet in the future during your investments.

because new comer hasn't more knowledge and feel to get rich quickly make new comer easy to get scam. my advice for new comer is always learn more about cryptocurrency if you want to invest please make sure about that is real. preveously you should to search and read about more information about project you want invest.

Not all newbies creating a thread that they are scammed are all true or did happen. Some of them have experience already and are only wants to scam people by promoting their scam website. There is a thread like that where a newbie lose btc in a site that the newbie provided but thanks to good people who searches the website's information and they found out that it is a scam and only promoting it in this forum for scamming purposes. Anyone who doesn't very cautious enough with their security can be scammed even the higher ranks.

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.

It's easier to scam newbies and beginners because they are still lacking when it comes to knowledge so others are using that as an opportunity to manipulate and control them, making them believe that those scammers are there to help them. When in fact, they're trying to scam newbies. Newbies are easy to get swayed because when they think opportunities are coming to them.
It's really advisable for beginners to put extra cautious when dealing here in crypto. And since we are not new to this, we can help them to avoid scammers. That's the only thing we can do to help them, educate and aware them about the scams they can encounter here in crypto

Scammers are targetting newbies because newbies tend to believe what they've instructed to do because they want someone to teach them the in and out of investing here, and these scammers are like wolves in sheep's clothing ready to impersonate, trusted traders and they are good at making them looks and trusted, but if they will only ask here in this forum they will be enlighten.

@akirasendo17 it’s not only the newbies that get scammed sometimes even experienced people like me get scammed out here. I’ll keep my story short: I had to send some $1000 to a friend bank account in USA and accordingly I found a exchange owner out here, and I felt for his sweet talks and send him funds in advance only later on I realised that I was scammed. It was at that juncture I realised that never to send money in advance especially when you’re dealing with crypto’s, and never to stop doing one’s due diligence irrespective of that persons trust.

Everyone thinks that cryptocurrency is very easy to play with and there is no prior knowledge required to get started with crypto. When a new comer comes with this mindset along with huge capital, he got scammed by experts of this field. If you spend some time in this sector before investing you can surly get aware of how to tackle scam.

Most newcomers enter the cryptocurrency market for the profit that cryptocurrencies bring, so they are easy to get scammed and FOMO.
The crooks just need to fake some proof of profit then show it to new people and cheat their money.
Besides, new people often click on shady links so their computers are easily attacked.

don't fall in mistake.
scammers are targeting all user types.
Obviously, the major rank of scammed users is the lowest one!
But this, just because newbie users, usually, are the most inexperienced.

And now it is time for us to see that there are many newbie who try to cheat in various ways, submit phishing websites and become gift managers and many others.

I think most newbie are very vulnerable to fraud because of their minimal knowledge and experience. But the real attempt at fraud is when a beginner tries to fool people who have extensive knowledge and lots of experience.

I remember, some time ago one of the members of this forum got a loss because the assets of bitcoin and altcoin were stolen in his wallet because of email hacking. The user is a member of a hero with a lot of experience and a good reputation, phishing is the main weapon that is often used to hack, and I think the victims are users who have been fooled by several types of phishing websites.

So I think not only newbie must be vigilant, but higher members must always maintain security and raise awareness about various types of fraud.

This happens because they are in a hurry to make money and they are not aware the many scam methods scammers are using to scam people, and of course are targetting newbies, becaus ethey know old timers knows what to do if they encounter one situation, they will ask the community or they will do a research.

Agreed.

I was a beginner (completely newbie to crypto), and what I got from my instructor at that time was that crypto had high volatility, if I was lucky I'd have benefited faster (get rich quick). I realized that this is all about money, and scammers won't miss their chance to act. Previously, I've seen scams almost every day (not in crypto) experienced and told by people on the internet. I thought it wasn't impossible to see me as a newbie in the realm of cryptography, I'm their next victim.
Read any tips or ways through the beginner's board to avoid them and start applying it even though it requires extra time and is boring. As I once said, "I'd better waste a little time each time doing crypto activities for security reasons, rather than faster but at the end I've to start again from 0".
However, I'll still be a newbie who can be scamed at any time. I'm not very good at researching any scams/frauds. This is just a coincidence or luck that I've never experienced. And maybe, one of my biggest luck comes from "Scam accusation" and "Reputation". Newcomers, I strongly recommend visiting these sections regularly.

When i was newbie in crypto. First time i create wallet in blockchain and i think this is boring and difficult.
When i login i must accept login notification in email. So, i find bitcoin wallet in extension chrome.
I don't know if that extension is phising then i login my blockchain account in there and my email.
After i withdraw bitcoin to my wallet in few minutes my bitcoin send to another wallet.
After i check the extension review in Google, this is phising.

Not entirely if we removed phishing sites, downloadable malwares, and other careless ways of losing your account you will see that most newbies are being victimized by fake investments that provides high yield payments. They are easily blinded by the payout that they don't even see that they are fake to begin with, they don't do bakcground checks and don't approach it realistically all they see is the fake payout these sites are paying. Some people I see are even more than willing to join another scam when what they are investing is over and the bad thing is they'll recruit other persons for a referral commission I call these peopl “willing victims” as they don't care if the investment site is fake they just want to earn the easiest way possible.

Most of the time they're taking advantage of their greed. You do not need in-depth knowledge about a concept in order to avoid scams, you just need to stop looking for get rich quick schemes. Every financial venture is rife with scam attacks so one should always be wary when using the internet. And do not come in with the money first, knowledge later mindset.

Admittedly, there are also well veiled scams which can trap even the most experienced person if they get complacent enough. I always advice one to view everything as a scam until proven otherwise.

In 2017 when I was a newbie I was scammed as well
I invested in the ICO of 2 scam projects and lost all the money invested. The coins are now worthless.
I invested in another 3 which are zero now as well, and 1 invested in one which is about 2000% now.

I don't invest in altcoins anymore. Imo they are not worth the riskt and most of them are scams. Even if one of them goes up 2000%, if I had bought only btc I would be better now (or almost the same), without any stress.

Just invest in btc , move them to your nano and don't try to get rich quick. It won't work.

Like you said one of your investments in coin is 2000%. That is huge and if you have invested equal in all four ICOs, your loss would have been covered and you will be in good profit. Bitcoin investment is safe but altcoins investment is like gambling. It can give you much more returns than bitcoins provided you invest in a altcoin which is good one.
