In my opinion, the subject is absolutely the same, only written in different words.
And yes, your link is invalid.
Fasting is like a merits hunt.

I believe scammers are primarily targeting newbies who they are new to the Cryptocurrency space and can be easily brainwashed and defrauded.

Thanks I understand you but their might be new user's that  are just joining the forum which might have not come across the other thread which are created to enlighten people about how to be free from scammers, maybe the person might notice my own and will be of great help. I believe awareness about crypto scam should be one of the things we should always remind each other off.

This belongs to the DONT TRUST ANYONE or dont make a deal with anyone else on the internet especially if you don't know.
However, thank you for sharing this, a good thread to help newbies from being scammed.

Don't trust anyone, verify instead. That's the only way to be safe from scammers. If there's huge money involved, it would definitely be better to pick an escrow and deal through. Make sure that the escrow is trusted & has dealt with a bigger amount.
OP, there are a lot of threads created on this particular topic I Guess. You would rather searched before started writing this.

1. DON'T TRUST ANYONE

1. DON'T TRUST ANYONE: In the crypto space, you don't have to trust anyone, even if you think you and the person have been doing business for a long time and you believe the person won't scam you. The person may be trying to earn your trust first, and then when you have a larger transaction with the person, he will run with your money. Before investing your money, make sure the website is standard and have a active social media with real and reasonable followers, and make sure you conduct a lot of research on your own to confirm the investment is legitimate.

2. ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF: When it comes to cryptocurrency, you must be cautious and always protect yourself; otherwise, scammers will take advantage of little opportunity to defraud you. For example, you may receive a link on your social media or email to claim an airdrop or other giveaway; do not even try to click the link; or some may ask you to follow someone on social media to be eligible for a giveaway; please avoid all of these things because I believe they are currently rampant and many people are being defrauded. You must exercise extreme caution even while opening the link sent to you by a friend; you cannot trust anyone, which is why you must safeguard yourself. Never give out personal information such as your private key, password your email login details or your mobile phone password, make sure you save your personal information in a secure place

3: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GREEDY IN CRYPTOCURRENCY: I don't believe there is such a thing as "free money" in Cryptocurrency. Nobody will give you money unless you work for them. No reputable company will give you money unless you work for them. If someone sends you a message telling you to send a certain amount of money and they will double it for you in a few days or hours, realize that it is a total falsehood and that the person is just attempting to scam you. There are many methods to profit from cryptocurrencies, but you must put in a lot of effort.

4. BE VIGILANT: The way scammers plan their scams now, they modify everything and make it look very real, but it could be a scam, so you must be very vigilant. If anyone claims to have your personal information, ask for proof, and if he asks for money before he can send it, he is most likely a scammer. If you're sending money to any exchange or website, make sure you're on the right one. There are a lot of phishing websites out there that claim to be legitimate, so double-check the website before sending money there.

5: HOW TO SPOT A RIDICULOUS SCAM: There are a few basic things you may perform to determine whether or not someone is a scammer. To begin, check to see if there is a Twitter account listed on the website, and read through the comments. Trusted websites do not post reviews of themselves on their websites, nor do they post certificates as proof of their legitimacy. You can also use Google to learn more about a website.
