Spending time to learn pays a lot and it prevent people from making painful mistakes. For those that have knowledge about wallet won't fall victim of allowing anyone to assist to create wallet. Spending time to learn is not a waste, it saves money from entering the wrong hands.
It is a NO-NO unless that person is your trusted friend or one of your family members. I don't know how the world changing as it is really hard now to trust strangers, most of them are scams especially when it talks about money.
Knowledge is hereby our advantage and tool to avoid falling into scam attempts or any evil plans. I'm not yet experiencing this thing because I was too careful in dealing with other people and I did research first, reviewed feedback, etc.
I consider social media to be a source of good information, it was before but now, this is a tool for scammers and hackers.
