Although I have never experienced this case, the method used seems to be common on several social media. Phishing attacks that rely on sending codes to emails are the weakest fraud attempts and are generally easy for perpetrators to do because they sometimes have minimal knowledge about security measures for users. This is a lesson especially for beginners, so that if fraud occurs with a concept like this, they already have an idea of what to do.

For newbies, it's mostly the general knowledge and quick thinking abilities that can save them from various scams they might face in the online world, because they usually tend to have less knowledge about things, so they would barely be able to identify if something is correct or not, but if they have a good general knowledge, they would know things that are too good to be true, and scammers usually use this tactic to trick newbies because most newbies believe nothing is too good to be true when it comes to cryptocurrencies because they've heard stories and whatnot.

Someone who might not have a lot of knowledge about the industry, but is generally smart, would understand that something is fishy if they are either contacted by a stranger and offered an opportunity to make a good amount of money very quickly, or if they encounter a website that provides investments opportunities with unreal returns of investment that too in a short period. If you aren't smart enough, you will most probably fall for it at least for once, and then you will realize and understand such things are not true.

First thing to identify possible scam is when the offer that is presented seems to good to real then just know that it's not real at all, although most times newbie and not too experience fellow tend to subject themselves to big dreams and taught that it's that easy and possible to make such easy money but the world doesn't work that way and there is no short cut to any of the financial free life that we keep dreaming of, if you have that basic knowledge at the back of mind you might save yourself from simple attacks.
