I know some scammers are intelligent people
Hmm, that's true mate!
Scammers tend to misuse their abilities. In fact, if the scammer is presented as a subject, then my theory will be concluded from this: that the ability of these people is the best, but the conscience of these people is dead, they do not know the difference between right and wrong. The only fault of these people is that they obviously go with those things that are very difficult to do, but these people prefer this difficulty. Which is impossible to do, but these people do it. It is known that these people are smart and intelligent, but due to a lack of awareness, they lose their common sense. These spammers are actually hopeless and desperate people, so they don't like the right act as compared to the wrong.
You can’t ever get rid of scammers completely. Every platform that reaches a certain level of popularity has these kinds of problems, it isn’t unique to Bitcointalk. Crypto users are especially targeted. The only thing we can do is make people aware of what to look for and also follow best practices to protect our own selves from getting scammed.
Yeah definitely the target of spammers is the place that is popular. Spammers test you in a variety of ways to make you fall victim to their goals. And in the same way, it is also clear that not only on Bitcointalk, but everywhere where there is money interaction, you will find spammers there in countless numbers.
