Newbie account status, in my opinion is not related to a scam project because they could have paid people with high ranking to create a thread. All that can be done in this forum is to report a scam so that no more investors enter and be more vigilant. As long as there is no government regulation, I think it is difficult to imprison scammers
I think for now it's not just newbie accounts, now there are many accounts that have high rank, but promote scam projects. It might be that the account is paid for or the team from the scam project buy a bitcointalk account with high rank.
