I've received pms as an Sr Member from newbies or random accounts in the past that were obvious scam attempts. Higher ranked users are usually more experienced, but usually such scammers also aim for numbers, the most users they approach, the higher the chances of scamming someone.
Some scammers would DM high-ranked users as well, but it's very rare. I assume you haven't fallen into that scam, so the scammer knows it's not easy to convince high-ranking users. Another reason a scammer may avoid a high rank is because of a report. When I have seen such a message, I have been using the report to admin button. This means they will definitely get a ban, either temporary or permanent. But mostly newbies don't know about reporting to admins, and they might become greedy as well.

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.
That is correct and you right I could remembered then when I join here newly I do have series of messages on telegram asking me about investment platform were I could seat at home and make money for myself without me bothering myself, at some point I wanted to give it a trial till had to know that if this was so much real this said user wouldn't want to share with me instead s/he would go park all their family members to come join and do such investment and why me. That was how I got to suspect that he is not real and scammer, what next? I just have to block him entirely and immediately he uses another profile to chat me again then I had to block again before I was able to make concentrate.
