Honestly If anyone just come into crypto space through a link or online ads it's easier to get lost and fall victim to scams, i never get hacked for once or lost money to scam projects simply because I favoured learning things I don't know anything about, why can't people be like this either? This will easily safe you from money doubling schemes and Ponzi schemes, please newcomers and members, be more willing to learn.
Good thing you know how to deal with it, buddy. But people aren't like that, and that is the unfortunate reality. People tend to fall easily in such schemes because they want an easy money, they lack of such knowledge about clickbaits and more, they are perhaps an easy to get thing. Nevertheless, stuff like that for first timers are a good thing, IMO. Since it would open up their eyes and minds on worse reality crypto space has. Thus, whenever they go out and see something similar again, the mechanism, is that they would get reminded of a signal that they do have to check things out properly before engaging up again.
