Anyone can fall victim to crypto scams

[AYOBA]

Currently, most newbies are getting scammed by investing in the wrong projects. This highlights the importance of knowledge, it is power. Anyone with sufficient knowledge will rarely be misled.I understand that there are people who are not complete newbies but still get scammed.bu, I would conclude that such individuals often lack adequate knowledge. Anyone with deep knowledge about crypto industry will find it harder to be so greedy because it know that is greediness will surely lead him or her to wrong direction.

That’s just the facts: a lot of the newbies were scammed after investing in the wrong projects, and what is causing it is that they refuse to seek knowledge before they introduce themselves to the investment. The world of cryptocurrency is all about having knowledge about the crypto techniques to make everything easy.

But some people take cryptocurrencies as simply places where they can just come and begin to earn money within a month, and in this life nothing good comes easy. Anyone who wants to become something better in the future must go through a lot before achieving success.

Yes, one can stay updated with channels through which scammers infiltrate crypto and scam people, but more often than none, these scammers have access to various app used for crypto. So, some are scammed not necessarily due to lack of knowledge but because most app used for crypto is not properly secured.

I see people relating crypto scams to newbies only but the honest truth is that scammers feed on people's ignorance, not only that but greed as well, therefore anyone can be a victim, not only newbie. Well, newbies are their easiest targets cause their ignorance makes them very vulnerable but their are some newbies that are very smart and careful online not to lose money to scammers.
 Although some can easily be fooled online. For instance, someone was scammed through releasing his passphrase, the scammer told him that he'll be gifted free coins but he'll have to drop his passpharse and out of ignorance he released it to the scammers and the rest of his coin in his wallet was history you'll be suprised how easily such person got scammed but think about it greed could play a role to that.
 Maybe the free money he was offered was very huge that he couldn't decline, maybe he might be ignorant but their are people even those with better understanding of the implications of releasing their passphrase that would overlook the implications and release their phrase to the scammer out of greed, everyone just needs to be more careful and avoid being greedy cause many have been scammed due to greed both ignorant and experienced crypto enthusiast.

The thing is that; scam only happens to gullible forks, because whenever there is a case of scam what happens most times is that the scammers feed on the ignorant of their victims to unflinching hurt and harm their victims, so regardless of the forum ranks of individuals, it does not matter and can still fall victim to all this scammers in the cryptocurrency market today.

Scams can happen to anyone as long as you lack the knowledge, this is the fact so what we can do to prevent it from happening is to make sure we never lose our knowledge and senses when analyzing offers and assets, we must act smart all the time to remain above.

Sometimes you can never be too careful with this thins scammers does for a living because you know why? People that does this scamming thing aren't just ordinary web3 users but a good developer that understands the game far better than ordinary users and they play their things in a way that you never know their next move, instead of them to create something for good so other people can use them, they use them for evils, for example, malware are not created by ordinary people, only an expert create these things.

If you want to avoid all this trashy things on the web, go off the internet and don't connect your wallet on the internet. If you want to surf the web with some funds, use a burner wallet where you can put insignificant funds incase you later step on any internet mines, the damage wouldn't be that huge compared to when you put all you have on the internet, the more you interact your wallet on different websites, the high chance of you getting drain later.

As far as I know falling victim is not for everybody, I have come to realized that greed is what actually makes most people to fall victim. However, anyone that normally do the right thing without going for quick profits wouldn't going to fall victim, just like me I have never fall victim before while because I am not good in focusing on quick profits. Once you are egar to get rich quick the possiblity of falling victim would be high, because you wouldn't think of doing research before entering due to the fact that you want quick money without remembering the risks involved.

Yes not everyone that fall a victim of crypto scam, the thing is that some people don't want to understand that in cryptocurrency many people use it as scam by investing on crypto, but if you know about crypto very well you will not be victim of scam, because what they normally preached to them is that they will double their investment times 3, and people who is ignorant of Bitcoin investment will like to invest because they have chances of making double of what they invested, so people who they scam through cryptocurrency lack information of cryptocurrency, and secondly it's greediness that make some people to enter into such kind of investment without making a proper research of everything.

Some people are not willing to compromise on securing their computers and are careful to avoid mistakes. By ensuring your wallets and funds and not being reckless or hasty, you will be safe from their attacks. You just need to avoid publicly disclosing your investments, do not ask for help from strangers, and refrain from messaging them. You also have to check the scam section on the forum, the latest videos on YouTube, and popular news blogs to learn about the method and strategy used by the attacker to deceive their victims. For example, for years, we did not know about artificial intelligence or deepfake techniques. These were the latest strategies used by scammers.

The path of learning and knowledge is endless. If someone stops acquiring knowledge and stays unaware of the latest techniques used by scammers, they might fall into their traps one day.

That’s just the facts: a lot of the newbies were scammed after investing in the wrong projects, and what is causing it is that they refuse to seek knowledge before they introduce themselves to the investment.

Most newbies lack proper orientation before entering the crypto space, some of them do discover about crypto from different crypto groups which are just created to promote their coins, and encourage people to invest in there coins. When newbies join groups like this, group owners do brainwash them, and they will be pushed to invest in their projects, which they will end up losing their money.

There are different ways which newbies can lose money, so they just have to be careful. When it comes to crypto space, don’t trust anyone, always make sure you are smart, and make sure you do your research first before investing in any coin, don’t invest in coin base on recommendation from people, or maybe their is hype in the coin at that moment, always secure your passwords, and your seed phrase, make sure they are not stored in anywhere their is interest connection.

Truth is, mistakes are inevitable, even for the best of us. Sometimes, when you're in a hurry or want to quickly complete a transaction, you mightn't be careful enough. This can lead to scams, especially with P2P exchanges.

For instance, a scammer might offer a slightly lower rate, using similar figures to confuse you. Instead of ₦69,600, they might offer ₦60,900. In your haste, you might complete the transaction without noticing the difference.

So I do advise against making transactions or taking serious decisions when you're in an emotional state or in a hurry. Any  decisions involving money should be made when you're calm and composed. This can save you from potential harm or scam.

nobody is exempted in scam, so therefore we need to understand that people will scam you base what you have in mind and base on what you're curious to achieve, in Ponzi scheme many people has been scammed base on they needed to make a profit from their investment, so therefore we need to know that we have to understand anyone or anything you are curious to achieve people can scam you with that, so that's what I want you to understand.

Everyone can be victim of a scam it depends on what you're pursuing, in cryptocurrency many persons has being scammed and because they were looking a place that they will invest that will give them a large profit, so that's why is good for we to investigate before we invest.

You don't need to be a newbie to fall scam, ignorance is the main reason why scams are all over. There are investors who are into Bitcoin trading/investment yet they poorly know how to secure their wallets, while most of them make use of CEX they are not concerned about little ways of getting scammed like Gmail attack or clicking and accepting unsupported links, some crypto users who participate in airdrops and giveaway task are not away that accepting to link your wallet to any proclaimed airdrop site is 100% on the line of losing everything he has holding in his wallet.

If we want to help with security, we first need to eradicate ignorance and give lessons on how to avoid such traits when we see them.
