The most basic is really determining the difference between private key and public address. Many newbies, including me before, always fallen to the trap of scammers asking for their private key.
I agree with this. This is the most common issue that newbies are experiencing. That's why in this kind of industry you should trust no one. You should be more careful especially in your private key and public address. This keys are the most important thing. i know someone who destroy the 10 years of bonding because of this things. Well, were talking about money. So once again trust no one.
