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.
The biggest opportunity is of course clear that novice accounts are very capable of committing fraud but open accounts with high ranks cannot do so, but those with high accounts will be more careful in looking for projects to be marketed. because obviously as a high enough account he did not want his reputation to be destroyed or get a red trust status.
but if someone buys a high account to use as marketing a new project it might be very difficult, but at least not long after that account will be reduced.
