I will personally answer, it is very difficult to avoid scam investments, especially in new projects that actually have potential. Because currently scammers also have a very clever strategy to trap investors. However, apart from that it doesn't scare me into investing even in a relatively new project because one of the keys to investing is to do it with money that is intended for investment. So, if the money is lost it will not have an impact on our finances.
Yes, you are right, but if you want to invest remember that it is always good to read the project under which you want to make the investment, in fact it is very easy to be able to name examples under which many investors have lost a lot of money, because some just dedicated themselves to playing NFT and they lost a very serious amount of money, because everything was like a Hype linked to the unethical behavior of many developers, really, in order not to lose or not let yourself be scammed, it is better to trust the products that come from companies, or from recognized exchanges such as Binance .
