One of the reason why some people fell victim of scamming is greed, inexperience and inadequate information because they want to make it to the top using shortcut without due deligente but if truly one is equiped with adequate information and experience it will be very had to fall victim of scam. I'm so impressed that you were smart enough to be able to put a precautionary measure on your experience if not you would have fell to the scam.
inflation and many more have driven people into greed and they are no longer contented with what they have they are always wanting more and when you want more and you are looking inside the wrong place then, what do you expect than to get scammed their are things to good to be true, especially in crypto when you get a lot of messages that are to good to be true they like using investment and trying show show their victims evidence of how they have been making money in that investment. their is no shortcut to making money, you have to just be real and face reality, but people want to perform magic when it comes to investment so not everything you will do when it comes to investment.
