I see people relating crypto scams to newbies only but the honest truth is that scammers feed on people's ignorance, not only that but greed as well, therefore anyone can be a victim, not only newbie.
Truth be told, getting scammed (whether online or offline) isn't a newbie error though they're mostly hit. Besides greed and ignorance as factors that can expose one to getting scammed, there's also mistake. Sometimes, one can be knowledgeable, not greedy but still fall prey to scammers. That's where mistake comes in.

I blindly submitted it, not knowing why, it was late at night
and I was tired, not really an excuse but I still don't know how and why I proceeded.
This is why I like to approach my financial dealings majestically. If I'm tired and dizzy, I tend to skip that until when I've a clear head. Before I came to that resolution, I goofed a few times and learnt valuable lesson from that.
