You mention the reason why people getting scams so that happens to them. If they can have all things you says, they will avoids the scams and always be careful and not think that they are superior than others.

The feeling underestimating to simple thing can makes you get on the scam without realize. If they can still humble with their knowledge and aware, they will see clear and will thinks before deciding. They will not make a fast decision without consideration on many things. They are fully aware that on Internet, they can be a target from the scammers.

Someone that is giving lectures to people about  hack should know that having two devices is better than one that will be used to access the internet more frequently. Or maybe he is using two devices, but still not following what he is teaching.

You're right on that. Like I noted earlier that two major weapons both scammers and hackers use on their victims were – Greed and Impatience. That's why we ought not to be hasty while executing financial deals. The dude in question felt it was something he could speedily do before getting home to use his other device as the project team gave him the impression that they needed an urgent response from him. Well, he learned the hard way from that experience; and by extension, I also learned too from his sad experience.

I believe a lot more people here will also learn from that.

People with less knowledge about what is happening in their surroundings will surely be a victim of scam because when they for example invest into something this people will just let them know what is good about it, what will be the profit and they make sure they feed you with positive so that you will not be able to question about what is not good, because you are already flooded with possibility that you forget the risk that is with it.
Even though we have different devices if we don't maximize the advantage for us, it will be useless and we will still be a victim if we are not aware of the positive and negativity of what we are doing, or what is going to happen, meaning we have remove the risk without knowing, and believe the scammers.

There are too many deceivers in this world, and even the most cautious people are sometimes deceived by themselves who are too sure of what they know and have, feeling the safest from others, when danger is lurking all the time.
I have a small experience where I was very confident that the wallet I had was safe, but at that time it was drained, until now I don't know the reason why and how the thief did it, one thing I suspected was my family, but there was not enough evidence and the amount was not too large and I forgot about it, I may not understand deeply how technical, but at least I understand the fundemental security that is best in blockchain transactions or activities, but one thing I forget is that threats are sometimes not from what we don't realize.
