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 there are some newbies that are very smart and careful online not to lose money to scammers.
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.
