Truth is, mistakes are inevitable, even for the best of us. Sometimes, when you're in a hurry or want to quickly complete a transaction, you mightn't be careful enough. This can lead to scams, especially with P2P exchanges.

For instance, a scammer might offer a slightly lower rate, using similar figures to confuse you. Instead of ₦69,600, they might offer ₦60,900. In your haste, you might complete the transaction without noticing the difference.

So I do advise against making transactions or taking serious decisions when you're in an emotional state or in a hurry. Any  decisions involving money should be made when you're calm and composed. This can save you from potential harm or scam.

The thing is that; scam only happens to gullible forks, because whenever there is a case of scam what happens most times is that the scammers feed on the ignorant of their victims to unflinching hurt and harm their victims, so regardless of the forum ranks of individuals, it does not matter and can still fall victim to all this scammers in the cryptocurrency market today.

Scams can happen to anyone as long as you lack the knowledge, this is the fact so what we can do to prevent it from happening is to make sure we never lose our knowledge and senses when analyzing offers and assets, we must act smart all the time to remain above.

Crypto scammers do feed on those with less knowledge about how they should secure their seed phrase or keep some  vital information private, it's easier for scammers to steal your crypo when you make use of the wrong moves. Most people thinks saving their seed phrase in their emails or cloud is actually the best way of safeguarding it Lol. This action is majorly practiced by newbies who thinks they've discovered a new medium, well at some point in my life I also taught same way, not until came across a blog that talks about backing up seed phrase offline

Even though ignorance is also among the factors of being scammed by greediness, the first factor is because everyone has that greed in them, and you can’t change the fact. Let’s use your example as a case study, but you said passphrase. I don’t know how the scammer was able to scam the victim with only the passphrase, or maybe he had his seed phrase. We don’t know, but one fact is that the victim was also greedy because after having his own hard-earned money in his wallet, he still wanted a free token as a gift. That is the point of greediness.

So the truth is that everyone can be scammed, no doubt, but still it’s not everything that needs to be trusted online, and we all have to reduce our greed to not be victims of scams. Most importantly, you have to be smart in order to escape from those people because they are very wise.

You are right. Scammers have many methods of scamming, but as you said, newbies are the easiest ones to get scammed because some of them lack the understanding of something in the crypto space that a scammer can use easily to get them as victims. Although sometimes greed is the cause, some newbies are too greedy, and that is why most of them fall victim to getting scammed.

However, you already said newbies, and once you mention newbies, it means someone who is new to something, so I believe, anyhow, it is regardless of how a newbie will think he’s smart; if a scammer is smarter, something will happen. The best thing is to have the knowledge of what you are doing to avoid getting scammed.

So far, many people have always introduced crypto as the most profitable investment to attract beginners, but very few of them explain that crypto also has high risks. As a result, beginners often lose both in investing, trading, or becoming victims of fraud. If you don't have enough knowledge about crypto, don't immediately believe in jumping into the crypto world because the crypto world is still very dangerous for ordinary people, however, we all know that there is a lot of fraud in the crypto world.

This fraud is something that cannot be separated from the crypto world because they always take advantage of opportunities, especially those who are greedy, it is very easy to become victims of fraud. Often fraud occurs not only because they don't have enough knowledge, they become victims because of greed. These two aspects provide easy access for fraudsters to carry out their actions.

Never, and i mean never, would i respond to or engage with any message claiming that if I give something (for example: my phrase), i’ll get something for free. I know there are plenty of people who believe in that kind of stuff and fall for it, but i still think a good number of people “play it smart” and realize in time that they might be getting scammed.You're right,greed is definitely a key factor, but when something seems too good to be true, it needs to be triple-checked…

The truth is anyone can become a victim to scam just as you have said earlier, but it's not only crypto related things. There are different methods that scammers are using to get into people's head. Although you are right because the majority victims of scam are mostly the greedy people. A greedy person can not different legit or scam because they actually convince themselves about anything that's involves profits.

Of course those who are very deep in this crypto space don't fall victim to scammers so easily that's for those that are not greedy, because sometimes the reason why most of this experienced investors easily fall victim to scammers is due to greed. This is why most people think that everyone can fall victim to crypto scam without knowing that is due to thier greediness that made them fall victim to crypto scam. talking about newbies you know most newbies can be smarter than most of this experienced investors so whether you're experienced investors or not so far as you're greedy definitely you will fall victim to crypto scam,and  there's no two ways about it.

sincerely speaking it is not everybody that can fall victim to crypto scams, those who are already experienced investors in the crypto space cant make themselves vulnerable to scams and frauds in the crypto space, because you can't expect someone who  have spend years in the crypto space to fall pray to crypto scam.
People I think that can be vulnerable to crypto scams are newbies who are coming into the crypto space, because they have little or no experience about the crypto space that's why they easily make themselves available to crypto scammers.

However greedy people easily get scammed because they want everything they can't afford. Although the way the guy from your content was scammed is easy because not everyone will become a victim in this kind of scam. Might be that the person you talking about is a newbie in the crypto space. Although you are right because some newbies can not become a victim on the Internet cause they are very careful if it has to do with money.

I have heard someone discussing that they got fund from unknown wallet which they are still skeptical till today.
This may be a big mistakes from the sender which has gone to another person's account. Sometimes such person might decide to leave the money there until they find the right owner, maybe if it's from someone they could know. In this casesome person will rather use the money and flex it since it's a free money. Any mistake made in cryptocurrency transactions should be seen as gone because there is no way such kind of money could be gotten or traced to the actual person the fund well to.

Fraud can happen to anyone who is not careful when entering the crypto world, especially if they are greedy, so it's not just beginners. The more sophisticated the technology, the smarter the fraudsters are in finding their victims, anyone who enters the crypto world is very important to continue to be careful in seeing things, both when joining a particular project or when clicking on messages from emails or so on.

In addition to what you have explained, to avoid crypto fraudsters we must have a community, such as in this forum or in a group. This is important if there is something important or something that makes us suspicious, we can ask our friends. Asking is something that must be in everyone who enters the crypto world, so don't pretend to know everything because the crypto world is very cruel to those who don't seek information.

That is the importance of beginners must be careful and careful if they are involved in the world of crypto, we all understand that social media is currently the target for fraudsters to start the action.

General Actions Their Investment and Crypto Trading Section, because they know that many beginners are unfamiliar with how crypto works, do not be surprised if beginners are not careful and careful to enter their traps and end up losing their assets or money.

So before being trapped in a circle of fraud in the Crypto world, if there is information that is of information about the benefits or the like, first ask the closest people who understand the workings of Crypto, do not directly Take action or decisions, investigate in advance whether it is true or not, with us considering we will survive various fraud.

Lets hope that honest mistake doesn't cost us regret because there are times we force ourselve to get to do a financial transaction in a haste especially sending out money. Money that is sent wrongly to a stranger may not come back except such person is a God fearing fellow but if it gets to the account of greedy people, it is gone. So sometimes like you said, if we fagged that, the best thing to do is to rest our head and continue when we are energetic.

However, we also should know that one of the ways that scammers get people is to hasten the victim up. They make things look urgent so that you won't have time to think through what is about to happen.

Fraudsters exist because there are greedy people. That's the point

Almost all victims of fraud are due to greed and ignorance. These two things will be the main weapons for fraudsters in carrying out their actions, having knowledge alone is not enough if you can't control greed so that's the main factor for fraudsters in finding their victims.

In addition, there are also consequences of their own negligence so they think they were deceived when in fact it was their own fault. I once read the story of a trader on social media about losing a lot of money in crypto because he sent the wrong address and what he sent to the fraudster's address. So he told the initial chronology, he lost a lot of money in crypto just because he copy-pasted the address from the transaction history.

He intended to transfer as usual, but it turned out that the address was fake and almost similar. This is because the fraudster sent crypto coins to many wallets, including the victim's wallet. Of course the reason is that the fraudster wanted the fraudster's address to appear in the victim's transaction history. When the victim wanted to transfer as usual, he just copied and pasted from the previous transaction history and the fraudster's address was selected. This may be a trivial matter, but we need to be aware of it, especially if our wallet often makes transactions with airdrops, it will be very dangerous and we need to be aware of it.

Is obvious that most of this scamming cases we have being hearing in this forum both outside the forum all happens as a result of being greed, just like as you said about your friend who got scammed. Of course that's how most of this ponzi scheme works, I also remembered when a friend ask me to join one of those Ponzi scheme. Even before he introduced me to that platform I have already saw it in the media, then I tried to convince him that the project happens to be scam he refused just because he have tested the profit. And guess what happened......the guy later lose all his money both his profit everything just vanish as a result of over aiming.

You are absolutely correct, greed is the major thing that make people get scammed most times, I have a friend that always like taking risk and then there is this Ponzi scheme that came out some years ago, this my guy has been making profit from the Ponzi scheme and what he was doing was that any profit he makes, he will invest back all and then it get to a points where they where changing the withdrawal criteria and this my guy still went to invest everything at the end of the day the admin lock the group and they were not reachable again and this my guy invested over $1k he made from the Ponzi scheme, simply because he wants more.

Anyone who is not greedy and happy with what he has will never fall into a scammer trap because they offer him a huge amount, no one in their right senses will do such a thing, if you are not greedy you will never get scammed unless the scammers use another method to scam you because there is the different way they scam people, someone can not just message me to give me a gift or offer me a coin and ask me to drop my passphrase and I will do so, that will never happen.

I know that that people who get scammed mostly are newbies because I don’t as a person who knows much about crypto and knows that scammers are everywhere will fall into that trap, no one is above mistakes but the mistakes that will make a human being like you ask you for something and you do what he said is not a mistake, it is greedy and ignorance because I don’t think someone who is thinking normal will do that.

I was once a victim of a crypto scam. Some of you might not consider this a scam, but it was someone taking advantage of a person who didn’t really understand how crypto works. I will never forget this: someone offered to buy my ETH address/private key for $200. After giving the buyer my ETH private key, I saw a transaction from that address where the wallet received 400 UNI and then immediately sent it out. I was shocked to find out that there was an unclaimed bounty for those who used Uniswap. At that time, those 400 UNI were worth around $10,000 and all I got was $200 for buying the ETH address private key. I'm not totally newbie that time I just don't know that you can be rewarded by just using DEX on their early stage.
