Scammers are not the smart ones, they are instead the wicked ones, because they wanted to engaged themselves into what will make others cry and pay for, but we should be the smarter ones in this by not falling for any of their tricks used against us, we should also not be the one to get them attracted to use by giving them access to use in attacking us, that is why privacy and security is very important in cryptocurrency for us to know, follow and practice.
You are absolutely right, we should the ones who are smart and not them, we should make them pay for their wicked and selfish desire against them, not against us.
Yes, they might play some tricks on us, so that we can fall a victim and make them happy but we should outsmart them, when they think they are smart. For example, I was checking something on Facebook and then a message pop up and I was told to invest a certain amount and I will have my interest and my capital in the next 24 hours and they even show me the screenshots of those who have been benefitting from them, just to make me believe they are real, which I know they are scammers but I never doubt them, I picked interest and make them believe that I was on their side, so I start doing what they told me to do reaching when I was told to deposit some certain amount of money and I did but it was fake, they called me to tell me that they haven't received and I told them but I did and then they knew I was faking them and it pained them that I didn't fall for them instead they fall for me.
So that is how it should be and not the other way round, we should always be ready to outsmart them in anyway they try to scam us.
