When I first got into cryptocurrency, I came across a lot of scams. A few happened to get me, ultimately teaching me the lessons and how to avoid and keep me a steps ahead of scammers, never take anyone who contacts you first serious online, and secondly dont trust anyone with your cryptocurrency assets in the form of third-party holding or investments that promise high returns
To add to this, don't also trust the offer and idea of a shiller who recommends a project which they consider to be the best one to invest in, as they have nothing to lose but shill what they can benefit from. Online scams are just in different forms; we can never be too careful, but if we are observant enough, we can avoid falling victim to most of them.

A friend of mine has been through such scam before something like all this fack project claiming to be the best project or investment to invest in at that time just as you have really said it more like this scammers guys are really getting smarter every day by day and the story keeps changing every single time, I think it best to start keeping close to their patterns of scammers that the only best thing to do right now

Master of all trades……😊☹️😇

This has been the reason why most people do fall into the hands of scammers because they easily trust and failed to verify every information they got, which will help them to prevent falling into pitfalls and can be able to detect when its a scam and when its not or better still can ask questions for more clarification, for the sake of their own good.

I know someone that got scammed too recently, this doesn't have anything to do with how much of a guru you are, no man is an island of knowledge. There are things that you might not know and you can end up falling victim when those things are used by scammers to trick you. But this is nothing to be shy about, if there is anything you are going to use the experience as a lesson and also a way to help others avoid falling for the same thing. when such things happen it is important to share so you can help other people avoid it.
