I believe not all newbies are that naive to fall that cheap for scams, there are some newbies I believe to be wise and smart enough to decipher scams when they see such. It does not mean that crypto newbies are new to the system, some of them might have had the experience and would be very cautious whenever they encounter a strange activity online because of their experience in the past with internet engagements before they got to know about crypto although some are total novice and they are the ones prone to scammers and as such would need more guidance to not be vulnerable to scams.
Exactly you are right not all people who are new to cryptocurrency are easily tricked by scams. Many of them are smart and able to figure out when something is not right and going to wrong way. It is also noting that some people may be new to cryptocurrency but they have experience in buying and selling things online so they are more careful and know little how people try to scam. On other side people who do not have much experience are mostly fall in scams and they can get benefit their selves by learning that how to use cryptocurrency safely.
