How is it a great scam? Who is scammed here? No false information is provided, the protocol and program source code is all open source for you to examine.
Of course some bitcoin users can tell you that "I believe bitcoin value will rise tenfold in the next year", but that is not scamming. It is the same as I would say that "I believe nokia share will rise tenfold in the next month". If you believe me and buy Nokia shares, you are just stupid, not scammed :)
