Things why a person can easily get scammed in crypto-world

1. Greed
2. No knowledge about the project
3. Trust

This are the three main reason why they get easily scam
Greed, because there are a lot of promise by the campaign and the developer we easily believe that its true
investing a lot of money in the project that is garbage.
No knowledge also is the second reason because of the trend they just go and invest without any knowledge of the said project
Trust because they trust the people in the project which sometimes pretends that the person is a member of the project
they can easily decieved that once they invest , they will soon find out that the person is just impersonating , and not really
what all expected.

one can never be too careful when money is involved... even big companies get scammed by individual or group of people.. I've been a victim of a scam before.. that doesn't mean I was greedy or I lacked knowledge of what I was investing in

Sovryn - Brings DeFi to Bitcoin

Every scam isn't about been greedy or not, the first time I came across Bitcoin doublers in 2017 I thought it's normal judging from how Faucets works at that time, I did tried and got my Bitcoin doubled as promised but not knowing it's a way to confuse me, the second try was a final bye bye to my Bitcoin.

I think that we should better consider about gaining knowledg first before investing, choosing IEO in short or long term investments. in my opinion try to avoid scammers, must choose IEO that produces a good ROI for example launchpad in binance or poloniex or in other large exchanges which held IEO

the problem is, having knowledge regarding crypto takes a lot of time and most of people who falls to this scam are newbies who are in process of gaining knowledge aswell. we can't expect someone who just barely created a transaction to know all the things a veteran should've known.
It's just difficult to give them warning since most of them not gonna believe in you before they experience it themselves.

IMagine what happened recently, when the big twitter accounts in the crypto space were hacked, including the accounts of big exchanges and their owners, big projects inclusive, some fell victim because they wanted freebies, which can also be likened to greed, but not exactly the sea as greed. There are better ways to earn securely in the crypto space, but they will not go for that, rather they will be looking for quick bucks.

There are many factors that can lead one into being scammed by anybody especially telegram is greed. How will someone on earth tells you to send funds for doubling and some would tell you someone assisted them to trade and made heavy returns the final one that's raining now is the one about Mr someone showed them way and made them gain huge funds. I do ask myself if those guys knows what they are actually doing. Someone assisted you make huge profits, why then showing it to the whole world that you made huge and they should join you. It calls for thinking and questions. Let's wide up please! .

You are right , one of the reasons and of course the easiest way people get scam is greed. most times greed do not even allow them reason well before responding and investing in any project. if we take greed out it will be very difficult to get people scammed. if you do not have a good knowledge about what is being presented to you then you should ask questions.

for instance , a friend gets scam of his BTC because the scammer (buyer ) offered a high price than what was offered in the escrow group and he went ahead to carryout the transaction only to be scammed at last.

Greed is the factor that keeps many people stuck with scam projects. Always remember that there is nothing free in this market, and no one can help you get profit quickly.

Greed is indeed an unkind trait. People who have benefited, often can not resist and lusting to get more. It is certainly going to be easily interested in a project that gives a big advantage. Though with unrealistic destination projects often end up failing or expressed as a fraud.

And people who have no knowledge of the project is of course at risk. When choosing an ICO project, we should check carefully.

For me in this online world, don't be easy to trust with others. If you want to invest, try checking out other investors in the ICO. If you have done a good check, you can invest your money.

Many people especially those that are new to crypto work got scam easily. There are many factors that contribute to this to mention few, people wants to make quick money, impatience, lack of research about the project. The major one is not doing thorough research about the project before putting all the money. So my advice for people that want to invest in any project is to make a lot of research and be patience.

Because they want to get rich quickly and refuse to learn and research about this market. That is why they encounter bullshit and scammer projects in this market. Before getting started, they need to thoroughly understand the projects they want to invest in, most of the new projects in this market are scams. So be really careful with it

Scammers and "hackers" typically just trick users into giving people their keys. My favorite is all the female impersonators on Discord. Manipulating human psychology will always be effective, provided the strategies change over time. Best thing to do is simply be aware of this.

I agree, like when i'm first in crypto world i easily get scammed by someone, and then rekt by HYIP because too greed to get instan profit. because that time i'm not have much knowledge and greed too. but after that i got a lesson to not get scam by someone again until now

Most likely, those affected by the scam are just learning. I also like that when I know crypto, so many scammers. it's just that, now I'm used to it. however, I also agree that greed is a major factor in this matter. people want to get rich quickly, and scammers take advantage of that, so people are easily fooled.

What? So you mean you are now used to getting scammed or you are used to see scammers around? Well, I hope it was the latter part Grin

.

Actually having an encounter with scammers and tons of "scammish" projects is no longer new to me. But just like you, I'm no longer bothered because I know that I will not fall on their witty traps. And everyone should do the same — be smart and careful always. If you once became a victim then make sure it won't happen again next time Cheesy

I would say you are right. Lots of users faced scams because of greed. I could vividly remember one that happened on telegram. Best to do proper research before investing and anything that comes with sweet mouth from team, community moderator or anyone should be properly look into as some are there to sweet coat and scam..

Lack of understanding is the main factor they are easily fooled and at least it has been realized when I was a victim several times in the past and about greed, in fact they or greedy people will not always lose money because of fraud so to overcome this problem we should have an understanding first to finally we can do better research.

If you do not know about the investment that you're into, for sure there is a high chance that you could lose your money. Lack of knowledge and lack of understanding are the reason why there are a lot who are becoming victims of those shit scammers. If you got scammed, it is your fault because it only means that you do not know what you're into.

I think it is a simple logic, how are you gonna earn money if you do not know what you're into it. I think it is like a gambling and not investing anymore because you are putting your money in something that you do not know.

I would like to add the word Gullibility. Unfortunately many people in the upper lower and lower middle class and also some in the middle class, around the world, tend to find ways to make more money. They know words like diversify, putting your eggs in different baskets and setting up businesses. But in their quest to get more money they encounter many "too good to be true" scams, double your money, invest with us and you'll make quadruple. I mean it's sad hearing news of people getting scammed. I even heard of a 65 year old man scammed and robber got away with 4 million Philippine pesos. That is a lot and being an old man makes me even sad more.

It is impossible to identify the good project because every project during their crowdsales seems to be very impressive where a large number of people will start promoting it, even the company profile seems to be very unique and the team members seem to be unique after fundraising only we can understand the real behaviour from the team members.

It is true. many new projects look scam when their sales are complete. some have even launched their platforms and then they have disappeared carrying off the money of investors and traders interested in their projects. This makes many investors sometimes get stuck in the same situation repeatedly.

After the sale period and the distributions of tokens those developers behind will disappear without backing up the projects after being listed, this kind of scammers are very hard to identify since they are looking good while in the process, they'll able to enlist the coin from exchange sites to the point that they'll allocate funds for big exchanges, but the sad truth will appear finding out that the team will abandoned the project and leave bringing investors money.

Greediness is one of key in which newbie and also some experienced people fall in trap. One should do the research before investing in any project and should not just blindly invest based on some one else recommendation. Beacuse they may recommended for their benefits and you may fall in the trap .

Especially if someone who spreading their referral link to invite people then it's very much just a scam. Currently the Scammer trap indeed very clean, so it is difficult to distinguish whether it's a scam or not. Not only Newbie, those who already pro also can get their traps.
