in this case not only for beginners but for all cryptocurency users should know this because scammers will not target beginners or legends but all crypto users. so in my opinion before making an investment it is certain that we do research on the altcoin we want to invest or DYOR. because without doing research will be high risk for yourself.
The scammers don't care whether they are newbies or old people in the cryptocurrency space. What they think is how the victims can be ensnared in their modus operandi. We cannot eliminate things like this because it is easy for scammers to enter. Moreover, they are smarter than us, they package the best possible projects they will create to attract interest in their projects.
I have to say it's not going to be that impossible to save ourselves from them, unless we look for risky stuff. I mean isn't it obvious that we are looking for a thing where people are capable of scamming us, if we do not do anything that yields that risk that we can't be scammed and that's what we should be aiming at. I personally never got scammed before, and I believe I can keep on doing that, why and how?
Well, simply because I never put myself in a position where I could be scammed. This is not that hard, you go ahead and buy some bitcoins and ethereum and store that in your wallet and that's all you do, is there a way people could scam you in between this? No.
