People learn about these scams either through reading articles or other people's experiences, or learning the hard albeit "classic" way— getting scammed themselves.

That sucks, and it's surprising that after so many years, people are still using social media the wrong way. If you're looking for opportunities to earn money, you should go to Fiverr, Upwork and the rest. The most popular bunch; Twitter, telegram, discord, YouTube etc are packed with scammers ready to capitalize on greed. If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Most newbies tend to seek advice on telegram groups and Reddit pages, which sometimes leads to the scammers posting a "public" link and the rest is history...
^{- In other words, the part I quoted might not completely protect newbies [unfortunately].}

Too bad that there really are people that are becoming a victim of this typical scam.

Even if you have time, do not waste on it. I agree to op, block and ignore them.

Scamming methods never really change over decades. Spam emails with "unique dick enlargement investment opportunities, account "confirmation" emails, SMS with links in them, now it's all types of social media. While our ISPs are now very efficient at filtering out email spam social media and messengers don't have this option (well, unless you block messages from unknown contacts). Daily I receive 20-30 of these in Telegram, Discord and few other platforms I use. Why bother replying to these, just block and remove with couple of clicks and move on.

This should be obvious to everyone but unfortunately it is not.
Unfortunately, the world is not full of altruists who selflessly want to help others, but quite the opposite.
Ask yourself, if someone is successful in investing, why would they even bother to find other people, if they are doing so well? 
Unfortunately, there will always be people who are desperate enough and who will believe the stories of how one can easily make a profit in crypto with someone’s selfless help.
10 years ago they were very popular ad click, MLM and revshare programs and now crypto has become interesting and popular for scams.

these things are extremely rampant on Facebook. to my luck, I've got a number of messages on my messenger where the scammer talking me into investing in crypto or some pyramid scheme they are running. I never really pay attention to them since whenever I receive a message like that I immediately block the person and then delete the message. these people are relentless it doesn't matter how dumb they sound as long as they can find a gullible person for them to prey on.

Google is the best teacher if you have no one to put you through something on the internet, it can feed you some lies as well but more research will give you much more answers, if all newbies can take their time to use Google for ways to fall for scam in crypto space and online many will be saved but today many are just too lazy

As simple and as logical as it sounds, it's a pity many fall for it. Maybe it's due to the format of the messages. Sometimes they seem real. This is because scamming to them is a profession, so that learn and upgrade daily on their formats.
To me, the best option is not responding to them, if it is an opportunity, let it slide.

[Muenalo]

The best way to prevent people from all these scammers are social enlightenment, forum discussions and sharing experience with potential victims of scam. Because one thing I know is that as people are getting aware of a particular type of scamming methods, so are scammers strategizing new methods to lure people of their hard earn money, and these things are mostly carried out on Facebook and telegram channels. So the best way to prevent scams is for people not to easily believe things too fast online, even when they appear to be too real to be true.

It's very unfortunate that lots of people are fall in fake social media trap. More awareness needed.
If you think that something might be fishy you can ask in this forum and can discuss about that. Everyone should follow right people and right media.
I found an interesting article. You can follow them.

Today it is difficult to trust not only random people on the Internet but also there are fake accounts that are completely identical to your friends. If this happens, check several times the account that seems familiar to you, as people insert full information and pretend to be your friends. The very fact that someone promises some kind of profit should immediately signal caution in communicating with such a person.

[TheMimic1]

In this era no stranger will ever come into your life through online to do something good, they are there to take good advantage of you and run away so it's left for everyone to become smart, it's no surprise that many newbies still give room to strangers online which is why they get scammed, it's better not to hear a thing from them

In crypto

• Admins will never PM/ DM you first
• Admins will never ask for private keys, deposits, etc. from you
• Scammers will PM/ DM you first and ask for secret information from you
• Scammers will try to impersonate admins to scam you but remember rules #1 and #2, you will know who are scammers very easily.
• Fake accounts on Twitter, Facebook, etc. will have registration date very new, and have very limited followers

It's obvious that we have numerous scam influencers on social media but the problem is the strategies to overcome their ambitions, so the following can be possible measures to avoid them and also decode their primary objective to penetrate you.
1) Ignore every unnecessary message relating to investment through unknown person.
2) Research and investigate first before adventuring into investment platforms.
3) Avoid any investment forum advert through telegram and Twitter.
4) ensure that 75% of assurance is there before investing

Scammers have divers means to penetrate to people, and it's very hard to notice a platform that is scam platform, so our trusting limit have to reduce to an extent.

Believe it or not scammers will always PM/DM you first, how is this hard to believe? People don't just PM you for fun without their own aims , the moment you start thinking this way is that moment that you earn your freedom from scammers that PMs first

[CryptocurencyKing]

Of course random strangers are the once that actually approaches you with this intent of helping to see you through your crypto investment with a bid to help you earn the most of it. Certainly, they are scammers! Geneue opportunities doesn't come on a gold plata, you've got to seek it out. Anyone who seeks you out sees in you the opportunity to enrich himself or herself and that is what scamming could be. Should the ways to making it big be as they 9ften propose,  why then do they stress themselves over someone they know nothing of. You ain't even a family member nor a relative or a towns person but then, your being picked an interest in for a thing you never applied for.
Don't be tempted,  let them be the billionaire they could and want to be but, ensure you make them understand that they should live you out of it. There is nothibg wrong with small beginnings so long as there is progress.  Stay consistent and you'll be fine.

But unfortunately, not many people get trapped and end up losing their money. Why is that? Because they want instant results, they are attracted by the profits that will result from what they offer.

Let alone the way through social media, even scammers on YouTube, websites, phishing links, and others, it becomes a medium that is very easy to deceive its victims. This is also the same, not a few are trapped. And in the end, you will regret or even regret crypto for the loss it has experienced. It seems like it has become a habit and also agreed for getting profits.
