Bitcoin and scams have no relationship and anyone gullible to the point of being scammed in the name of Bitcoin should face the music and should never relate it to Bitcoin. This is why we always preach that (1) people should learn Bitcoin before they invest in it and do the extensive DYOR. (2) Anything that promises a too-good-to-be-true return should be avoided. Unfortunately, even people's Bitcoin mentor scams them, they will cajole them into investing directly with them, and before you know it, boom!!! they are off the radar.
That's the worst situation, but usually, scammers use the lack of knowledge as a way to promote their "guidelines" or "guidance", and then people get rugged.
The first rule is to do things yourself, you will be right or wrong, but it will be you, not somebody else.
