I think some people still fall for the scam because the benefit of them getting profits weighs higher than the risk. People are not investigating that much.
I think they are newbie to this market, they are greedy and want to profit quickly. That's why so many people are stuck in this market with scammer projects
Greed when investing in this market is inevitable, but I advise you to consider carefully before investing in any project because new projects can always put you at risk. I think newcomers often fall victim because they want to get rich quickly and often ignore the advice of others that makes them lose money, and until now, that's still happening.
All projects are risky, but if you choose the top altcoins in this market, the risk is lower than new projects. I am not too interested in new projects right now because the profits are very low, but it can make me lose a lot if it collapses.
