Whats up with all the scamming going on?

When did this start happening? I feel for everybody who lost even but .01 coin.

Back with the og silk it seemed like people didn't really skim, phish, or straight up steal. At least to the the extent that it is happening now.

It's really a shame and leaves one with a bad taste in ones mouth upon hearing all of the sad stories.

Is it because of hate? Is it because of greed? Is it a combination of these two and a couple other deeds?

It's entirely fueled by user's ignorance.

Once you know to get a solid vendor, don't FE, etc, getting scammed is rather difficult.

The amount of phishing/scamming is in direct correlation to the number of idiots using the DNMs.

Many people can't remember their passwords, barely understand crypto currency, and are too used to things like paypal, ebay, amazon, etc. They forget a PW/PIN and want "support" to give them their account back, they lose their coin through any possible method and want it recovered or charged back, they place an order and don't consider the possibility the on-site feedback may not be 100% honest. I've seen plenty of people IRL make various mistakes (not at all related to these issues or DNM's at all) and they never want to tell the story in a way that makes them look stupid.

This is just another possible angle for some of the reasons.

Nah just more people. More people = more shittiness. Plus you have one generation of shitheads passing it along to the next... Shit gets shittier with each click... I am happy to say I am amongst the lucky who have yet to be scammed..... I'm curious though. can everybody who also hasn't been scammed(on any of the markets) ever just sound off
