I was a scam victim too before and the saddest truth coz he was my fellow citizen.. I learned from my mistakes and get rid of people I suspected.. Don't trust too much even if he ur fellows. Scammers are hungry and selfish, they want to earn money easily..
Well, people that always fail to seek knowledge first usually learn from their mistakes. It is just unfortunate that some people still never get to learn from their mistakes. Identifying scams is not a big deal and in fact, it should be something that we should be hearing less of by now based on the awareness that has been created within the community at large. Due diligence starting from the team to the product and the least information is what would help anyone make the right decisions, but without that knowledge, or laziness of some people to do proper digging is what usually lead them to scam.
