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 which formed my stance today.

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.

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.
