Unfortunately, Bitcoin is an excellent medium for scaming.

NO

all money is equally excellent medium of scamming, just bitcoins rarity makes it more desirable.

its not about ease of scamming..... think about it
theres fiat bank notes, no consumer protection
theres bank regulations that supposedly protect people from losses
theres paypal with their ssl connections and encrypted databases.

YET

people still get scammed by chargeback scammers and the victims have no recourse.

the only lesson to learn is that bitcoin is YOUR funds. do not blindly trust someone you cant slap across the face with a wet fish

You are correct to say that there are other types of scammers out there that are able to scam. The thing about these kinds of scams is that it is generally very difficult to pull off these scams without others knowing your identity, so you could get prosecuted/sued for your scam. With bitcoin on the other hand it is much easier to hide your identity as you can easily move your money around in a way to disconnect your bitcoin from your scam. Also a higher percentage of bitcoin related sites accept connections from TOR exit nodes so your IP address would likely be unknown to your victim. And lastly it is generally accepted to keep your identity secret when dealing with someone in the bitcoin world when otherwise people would almost certainly not be willing to do business with you without knowing your true identity.
