Why asking for help publicly can sometimes make you a target.

This was why I got PMs on the forum the moment I started asking questions about crypto and wallets in general, but this is also happening on other social media as well, even telegram group.

Therefore, just ignore people who send you private messages after you ask in a certain forum. This should be suspected and they surely have a purpose they want. It is better for people to respond directly through the forum and it will be openly validated by many other members. I feel there are still good people in their forum and the evil ones are only a minority. So we need to be cautious with anyone who intends to help through social media. Because they always try to take advantage of your lack of understanding. IMO

Scammers are always targeting newbies, because they know that those are the people that they can easily scam. So as you were asking questions, they were thinking you are newbie, and they will want to take advantage of that. If you ask a question on the forum here, people are suppose to reply the post which you asked the question, and they are not even suppose to come to your Dm. If you receive any Dm, you just have to be careful.

Telegram is just full of scammers, I do receive messages from random people on telegram asking me to invest or things like that, when I receive a message from random person on telegram, I don’t even waste my time to read it, I know it’s all this scammers.
