i think the only counter is knowledge
as once you become knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies and the current technologies and what can and can't be currently done
you never fall for scams, they all become super ovbious.
People just need to gain more knowledge in crypto, and NEVER invest in something you dont fully understand
I'm agree with this, sometime investor and also hunter only focus to money or profit thay can earn, they should too knowledge when see the an oddity in a project it would be better not to participate in it, and the strangeness we can find when we have knowledge about crypto.
