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.
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.
