There is the straight up scammers and then there is the scammers trying to scam the already scammed by offering all kinds of "crypto recovery services" --this is the highest quality crypto forum and I don't see many of these posts here, but there are so many "lost or stolen coin recovery" ads all over almost every other crypto-related forum out there.
Blockchain by nature (immutability) makes the space prone to scams.
The problem doesn't lie on the scammers being rampant in cryptospace anymore, it's the ignorance and greed of the people in the community that is the current problem because those people still think that crypto is a get rich quick scheme when in reality it's not.
