You know they can just use other peoples identity from the internet with fake Linkedln and stuff just to make their profile looks legit but with shitty intentions behind it. It's easy to fake identities in current days especially when you are dealing in cryptocurrency community. It's on end user to filter those stuff out.

This particular point could benefit for some people where they can make some quick profit when they buy it low before the scam begins, in early days you can do that easily but it's rather difficult to do it now.
