If you continue to keep that mindset, you will easily fall for scammers. You should prep yourself that you're better than some people, having learnt the basics as you said. Yes, you may not be where you're supposed to be but you aren't definitely doing worse than most people who have heard about Bitcoin but don't make any efforts to learn the basics.

The first step is never to trust anyone here who DMs you on this issue or any other financial issue(s) with the promise of helping you out. Definitely, that's a scammer.

Secondly, just keep your seedphrase save and written down on a piece of paper. Don't screenshot and save on a device.
