1. Pray to God for you not to be a Victim
---snip---
That's the whole definition of god isn't it? I mean I am not a religious person myself and I understand where you are coming from because I do believe that god has nothing to do with this situation. However, if you are a religious person and pray to god constantly, then isn't the whole idea of god is that it helps you with everything? You get cancer, you pray to get healed, you lose someone you love, you pray for power to overcome that sadness, you are poor, you pray for more money, you are sad then you pray for happiness. What you want, think of it like "wishing" for something to happen and even preventing bad things as well.
Like your kid goes to school, you pray they come home safe, nothing happened so far but you pray that it will keep on not happening in the future as well. That is what god is to many people, I see where you are coming from, but if you try to understand where they are coming from them praying not to get scammed makes sense.
Failures can happen anytime, just because you pray to God doesn't mean that you can avoid getting scammed. Praying does help if were talking about cures and stuff but still i don't think it can help you not getting scammed. We are bound to have failures in life because without mistakes we can never learn. It's the same in trading.
If you're gonna keep on praying down on your knees but did not apply any actions, then you're efforts will go to waste but if you're lucky enough you wouldn't get to be a victim. Some scammers out there are very skillful and i'm just being realistic. Those who are already knowlegeable in trading even got scammed because the scammers defeated them. Even some people who are very successful right now experienced failures in life because they take their mistakes as their lesson in life that leads them to success. You see, God hears our prayers but test us, for us to be more stronger in life. He is telling us that, if you want to get happy and successful you must pass this road full of failures to achieved your goal.
