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. Well, newbies are their easiest targets cause their ignorance makes them very vulnerable but their are some newbies that are very smart and careful online not to lose money to scammers.
Although some can easily be fooled online. For instance, someone was scammed through releasing his passphrase, the scammer told him that he'll be gifted free coins but he'll have to drop his passpharse and out of ignorance he released it to the scammers and the rest of his coin in his wallet was history you'll be suprised how easily such person got scammed but think about it greed could play a role to that.
Maybe the free money he was offered was very huge that he couldn't decline, maybe he might be ignorant but their are people even those with better understanding of the implications of releasing their passphrase that would overlook the implications and release their phrase to the scammer out of greed, everyone just needs to be more careful and avoid being greedy cause many have been scammed due to greed both ignorant and experienced crypto enthusiast.

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.

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.
