Be very cautious in this forum
many scammers target newbies with fake investment offers, asking for deposits. Avoid and report such messages to protect yourself and the community.
Not only forum, include all social media as well. Especially on the Telegram, a lot of unsolicited messages coming that all are scam. Wherever you are new just proceed with caution. Otherwise you might lose your funds somehow.
You are right, scam cases and attempts are not isolated, and as I read in one of your earlier posts, it's everywhere, targeting everyone, it's we who need to be careful and continue to inform the gullible ones, which @Skjadoon is also trying to pass across.
And of course, they will seldom attempt the old users (not only the reputable ones), because they know they are well-experienced, but newbies. I received enough attempts in my first 8 months of joining the forum, and some would not even come in the form of selling anything, but a harmless partnership, before it goes south.
Either way, anyone you don't know from Adam is a potential threat on the internet.
