Topic: Why lots of people got scam easily - page 8. (Read 5655 times)
Sometimes you have to give credit to a few scammers. They clearly know how their victims thinking and lay a trap that at least there will a few people got caught in their game. But that's only a little amount, most people fell for scam because of their own faults: greed.
This is real in crypto, we know that today many people who don't have the skills and abilities but just want to get their money are willing to deceive many people. This leaves a lot of people both defeated and gullible because scammers usually have big promises for their bullshit projects, so anything has to be done with smart work and hard work.
And that because a lot of people are falling from their trap because of greed. They thought they will gonna get those rewards or bonuses but the thing is, most scammers will not give you anything but will rekt you with everything you have. Phishing sites, high ROIs, overwhelming bonuses and more. If the offer is too-good-to-be-true, doubt its authenticity. Don't let yourself easily give in with those sweet words. Do your own research and remember to inform others if you found fraudulent activities.

the main reason people get a scam is that they have no knowledge of crypto and don't know the goal of the project, they may be new investors! the second is greed and too much trust in team promises
These are good info but I also add some more things due to which a lot of people got scam. trust too blindly on the project, never search for the project and just look at the website attraction where some good features copied from real projects attract investors. no real social media pages.
Too naive, I think. People don't get it that the project they have interested in will try everything it can to get people's money. That's included dishonest or disinformation on its own project. People need to remove their naive for not getting scam easily.These are good info but I also add some more things due to which a lot of people got scam. trust too blindly on the project, never search for the project and just look at the website attraction where some good features copied from real projects attract investors. no real social media pages.

I've been trapped in a scam and I realize that if it's all because of my greed, I only think about profits without thinking about the risks that must be experienced, don't be too hopeful of project promises so that you don't experience things like me, keep doing research.
many people are easily fooled because they don't understand the world of crypto or carelessness of the person didn't check in detail how about a project

Those who are scammed most of them are normally new to this crypto space. And most of the scam projects do some good promotions. So they attracted very easily and ended with those scam. And and there are many many scam projects are in this market. So it's hard to avoid them the only thing you can do is do some research before your investment only that can save you from the scams.
Not only newbies are scammed, even old crypto enthusiasts get scammed. Most times it's based on greed, whereby money doubling crypto schemes scam greedy investors. Or sometimes the project look so real but end up being scam. I once invested in a project which aimed to revamp the health sector, they looked so real and even listed on hotbit, not knowing the team members had evil plans. They cleared all buy orders until hotbit disabled their trading. This is the reason why i mentioned anyone can be scammed, not only newbies.
I think greed is still the main factor, because since the DeFi trend I have seen many people complaining about being scamed by that trend, even though if they are not greedy they might not be scamed because this DeFi trend has made many people think the DeFi project they are holding can rises easily like YFI which can reach 10x in a fairly fast time.
I think not only about greedy here, but they also don't have any knowledge about the project. They think all defi project can rise easily, they thinking like that because their knowledge is less. So I agree with OP, greedy and knowledge is the main factor people get scam. And about trust, I'm not really sure about this

The crypto world is certainly not spared from scammers, they arrange very neatly it all depends on us detail is needed in the world of crypto
if we really might avoid scammers
if we really might avoid scammers
I think "no knowledge about the project" should be no1 because even if he is not greedy, they will keep scammed by people if he doesn't have knowledge. And I think everyone has their own greedy side, some people can control because of their knowledge and the remaining can't because don't have the knowledge. And of course i agree with another point
Op is totally correct.. Most people don't even try to see through the project, they only look at the promising side of it and at the end get scammed. Before going into any project to invest, try to look into the project setup, background and team. Some have fake team or anonymous, always do your own research before investing. Many scammers device different ways, but it's up to investors to look before leaping. Be wise.
Indeed those three points you mentioned are correct. Greed will influence people to invest in a project without researching deeply about the project. Sometimes they are in a hurry to gain big returns that even the promises of the project are unrealistic they just ignore red flags and just invest right away. Add to it that scammers are getting better and more cunning in deceiving people.
There is no simple answer to this since even good projects have failed in the past. You can make good decisions by making sure you do your research and invest in projects that are bringing something innovative to the market but there is no 100% guarantee that you will not lose money. Scam in itself is a broad term and people use it for many different things.
Yes, even some good project turn to scam after all so we can't never completely sure 100% that all people fall for scam project is because they're greedy. A lot of people although very careful and checking everything left and right but still got scam anyway.
For me the most is greed, majority have been scammed cos of their intentions of trying to get rich quick without doing little or nothing and then followed by no knowledge about the project and they feel they can do it on their own without much help thereby ending up scammed
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.

agreed with your opinion. trust, when the project get hype, you see the bounties are using their signature and you see the coin/token sale are nearly reach the target, you'll immediately spend your money to invest on that project (greed). in fact, some project put the fake tokens sale progress. it will looks like almost reach the target, but actually they only sold a little bit of their tokens. the project just wanna scam you.
Yes, even some good project turn to scam after all so we can't never completely sure 100% that all people fall for scam project is because they're greedy. A lot of people although very careful and checking everything left and right but still got scam anyway.
Good projects become a scam because they cannot innovate to always defend investor confidence to always use their projects. Jump to:
