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,
Usually investors who are falling in this trap are newbies or greedy investors who want to earn easy money and not thinking about the risk of getting scam.
i never get hacked for once or lost money to scam projects simply because I favoured learning things I don't know anything about,
Its a must to learn before entering in any kind of investment opportunity. If you know the necessary things then you wont end up joining/investing in scam projects.
