Scammers are becoming more smarter everyday, they are now capable of spending more money on good looking website to confuse some newbies, I lost 600$ to a new metaverse project this way last week, before I know what's going on the team block comments on telegram and now their website is offline, the thing is I can't sell the token on pancakeswap after buying, be extremely careful fams.
Indeed we need to be wise as well otherwise, they will take advantage of that. Perhaps, we have to deal with them and so taking serious doing research is much helpful to make them minimize and spread awareness to the community.
But OP is right, we can't rid of them totally especially if we keep supporting them. They come growing instead as many people were still blind not see fake and scam projects.
