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.
The thing is that; scam only happens to gullible forks, because whenever there is a case of scam what happens most times is that the scammers feed on the ignorant of their victims to unflinching hurt and harm their victims, so regardless of the forum ranks of individuals, it does not matter and can still fall victim to all this scammers in the cryptocurrency market today.

Scams can happen to anyone as long as you lack the knowledge, this is the fact so what we can do to prevent it from happening is to make sure we never lose our knowledge and senses when analyzing offers and assets, we must act smart all the time to remain above.
