I dont think thats surprising right now because cryptocurrency are such a valuable asset. The police may be very easy to spot scammer in the real world, but they will have a hard time finding scammer in the crypto world and I think this is also a factor why fraud attempt continue to increase in the crypto world.

I dont think scammer are only targeting beginner, but anyone would be a potential target. Therefore, in my opinion, we all have to be careful and do not easily believe the lure.
