I've never experienced being scammed related to cryptocurrency but I've seen a lot of different scams in social media who uses cryptocurrency as their bait.
Most famous are pyramiding scam, those companies wanna be that will make your certain deposit into a big amount of money in just few days. The other one is the phising email, links, or whatever kind it is, they have the most believable thumbnails that will make you think they are legit, but if you're wary enough, you'll notice in their links that they are a scam.
Great to hear that. That can mean that you are knowledgeable and wiser than them. We are actually on the same boat, hehe. We can only feel sorry for those who are affected. It was also their fault anyway on why it happened to them. They may be rushing on the earning part and disregarding the important part. They think all here is only about profits and being rich, but they didn't know that it is also about reducing risk or loses about the capital that you allocated.
A scammer can use a crypto because this may be their chosen niche. It's not surprising though, since there are lots of money flowing in here, and there are still people who just getting started. They are still very fragile and can be attacked easily.
