You stated you hoped members here can help you find out the answer to your questions but in your haste of trying to build up rank on your account "xbartoni" account you have posted here just twice in the seventeen days since you created this thread. During that time you have posting all over the place (except here) trying to present yourself as a newbie. Is that a sign that someone is really interested when their actions contradict their actions?

You have followed that with your original pretending to be a newbie so-called first ever post too. Clearly this is not your only account in the forum.

Are newbies only being scammed by scammers?

And are those who have been involved in the forum for a long time also being scammed?

I saw in a headline that it is not only newbies, but also senior people in the forum can be cheated, if they are not careful.
So my question is why is it being said that only newbies are being cheated, I hope you can help me find out.

If you're in the forum and your rank is up to sr member and you got scammed through online investment such as Ponzi scheme, that means you have not be following up some thread both old thread and new one, that means you don't make research, because I know quite well that many people has created scam thread that will prevent newbies to see pinzi schemes investment and other scam investment as best option or shortcut to make money.

So what means newbies to be a victim of scam, is because of inability to make a proper research towards any investment they want to venture into, the most people of users that is been scammed is the newbies

I think a newbie will not be cheated by a scammer as long as he does not make any mistake. If he is completely fair then it seems that nothing like this will happen to him but if he makes any mistake or something suspicious appears in his activities then he will definitely get noticed by the scammers.

And especially in the online sector they are constantly getting filled with scammers so that they can admit it. That is why I think if a newbie is completely fair and active then there will be no problem.

On the other hand, everyone can be a victim of fraud, whether they are knowledgeable or new, it doesn't matter, because if they are not careful, they will be a victim of fraud. No matter how knowledgeable they are, they will not be of any use if they are not careful. I think this applies to everyone, whether they are new or old.

If you read through the very little post history the OP has, you will probably deduce there are ulterior motives for him creating the thread. When not-so-new newbies decide to inadvertently post in a way that raises suspicion, it is usually because they did not expect members might conclude they could have more than one account. Claiming to be a newbie and actually being a newbie are not the same.

Well no one is exempt from being scammed by some scammers. But of course with the context of newbies always got scam since they dont hold much knowledge of some concept and ideas in crypto. But generally, everyone can be scammed even though they are knowledgeable if they dont take cautious on the matter. Sometimes they thought its legit but finding out they have been tricked as well.

Why ask such stupid questions? If someone can be deceived, then it isn't good, and a person cannot always know absolutely everything. There are simply no invulnerable people. But the point is that beginners do not know; they trust more when "someone pours into their ears." Beginners often trust people who, in their opinion, are ready to help but end up in the clutches of scammers. If you are skeptical enough, you should not even ask these questions, since you can be deceived here too, by saying something you do not expect to hear. In order not to be deceived, go yourself, study independently, and always look back. Have you been deceived? But seriously, a person has a brain that needs to analyze and only then make decisions. If knowledge is not enough, it needs to be supplemented and not rushed, which often happens to those who have been deceived.

As a newbie I see other shitcoins though can give you a good return in a short period of time but not like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most hyped asset at the moment and a lot of people are investing in Bitcoin now.

In general, newbies are more likely to get scammed because scammers target those that are less experienced and don’t have as much knowledge. When higher ranked members get scammed, it is usually by shady casinos or lending funds to someone who is unable to repay. No matter how experienced you are, you can never be immune to scams. There are sophisticated phishing scams and social engineering attacks that are able to trick many advanced users.

Scammers can target anyone - but they will also adapt a different approach when the targets are knowledgeable and experienced people. Many experienced people may already know popular scam tricks - so scammers will come at them with new, unfamiliar methods.

Beginners are gullible - they lack knowledge and are usually very attracted by sweet promises about earning big money. You'll probably rarely hear of experienced investors falling for a Ponzi scheme - but there are likely to be plenty of beginners investors who is trapped in it.

There is no certain stats or record kept anyway that it's only newbie that are being scammed and that's because everyone can be scammed and you would be surprised that even the most or highest veteran in the crypto space can be scammed. There are different categories of scammers and some of them believe me are very detailed with their schemes that even the most smartest person can fall to these scammers.

The reason why newbie's are the most vulnerable to scammers is because they tend to fall to even the cheapest of scams and that's because they easily let their greed to affect their actions.

Speaking in the context of this forum, only newbies are likely to be scammed. I hardly see an established member of this forum crying that they are scammed. To grow in this forum, you must have understood that scam is not moderated here. It didn't take me forever to learn the antics of scammers from this forum as a newbie.

But on general terms,
Both newbies and ignorant old users of cryptocurrency can be scammed. The people often scammed are the greedy ones that want to deposit 1 and withdraw 2.

Where did you see that only newbies are getting cheated or in this case, scammed? Is there an article that you saw? A video that you've watched? Or it's just coming from a random person that you saw online.

Just for context, anybody can get scammed whether the person is a newbie or not. The only difference is that the chances of newbies getting scammed are higher than those who have been in the crypto industry for a long time. "Senior people" just like how you described them can still get scammed. "Senior people" can still fall to scams and get hacked as well just like newbies. TBH, I don't know why you're looking that high against these "Senior People" that you think that they can't get scammed anymore just because they've been here for a very long time.

Knowledge matters and the longer you've been in the crypto industry, the more knowledge that you might acquire therefore, the lesser the chances of you getting scammed. On the other hand, newbies can still prevent getting scammed if they focus first on knowledge rather than profits first.

when senior member got scammed, most of the time it's just some people exploiting loophole basically complex social engineering or anything like that, but for most of the newbie they usually got scammed because they are greedy, anyone can smell the red flag with ponzi scheme that promises daily 30% return but newbie will turn a blind eye to the risk facing the illusion of prospectus investment.
that's the key difference between senior and newbie.

but long story short, anyone can be scammed, that's why it's better to do your own due diligences.

Scammers will not spare anyone when they get a chance to scam but most of the time they will focus on newbies instead of old and experienced people. Simply put, because newbies are people who are ignorant, lack knowledge but always have great greed, they are much easier to scam than those who have experience. Also, experienced people were once newbies, meaning they have been scammed once or more and they have enough experience not to be scammed again.

Newbies are often the target of scammers but not all newbies get scammed, for those who prepare everything well and are always alert to everything, no one can scam them. It all depends on the individual.

Mostly newbies because they are not experienced enough or as experienced as
OG's who have seen most scams.

Scammers can be very effective and believable and can create very sophisticated
scams to trap people. When a scam is complex and sophisticated it has more of
a chance of trapping people I believe especially newbies.

I was scammed before about 7 years ago right about the time of my first year on the
forum because I wasnt knowledgeable enough, I havent been scammed since,
I cant say I wont be scammed in the future but the chances are less.

'The right to privacy matters'

The best scammer can rip off anyone. I am smart I am wary and I know what most risks are. Sometimes I will take a risk of being scammed because on my situation at the time.

Other times I simply won’t take the risk.

An example Having 15,000 in new quality mining gear and no place to mine it.

I could sell it for 8,000 a certain loss of 7000.

Or I could blind trust a new host that may scam me. As he has conditions that could work if he is honest.

Well I checked the new host out I decided risking a 15,000 possible loss was better than taking a 7,000 certain loss.

So we mined in Aug ,Sept, Oct and part of Nov. I have earned back about 6500 profit so far.

which means if the new host turns bad today I drop 15,000-6,500= 8,500.

But if the new host stays good in two months I will have earned 10,500 meaning

15,000-10,500= 4,500 at risk.

and in four months I could be fully paid off on the 15,000

so yeah I around a long time and I took a risk of being scammed.

And I still could be.

Sometimes this shit happens doing business.

Of course if the contract gets honored . I will net 24-30k . vs losing the certain 7k

Even if you’ve been around a long time, you can still get scammed if you don’t think through every decision carefully. There are countless stories about scams, and these scammers don’t care if you’re new or experienced—they’re after people who are overly greedy for money. People who jump at “too-good-to-be-true” offers are the easiest to trap. Whether you’re a beginner or not, if you understand how scammers operate, you won’t fall for their tricks. But if your mind is consumed with money alone, you’re practically setting yourself up to fall into that trap.

Anyone can be a victim of a scam, specially if the scam is that sophisticated, than even a experience player in the market can't differentiate what's real and what's not. I'm talking about the deep fake AI scam that is going around. You think that you are talking to a real person, but you are not.

An then there is the pig butchering scheme that is also prevalent. Experience investors can be trap as well because they have been played by this accounts who they think is a beautiful girl from the other country. As if you are being hypnotized until you have fallen to the trap and can't snap in time.

So it's good to be very skeptical in the beginning or just ignored what you see or read, specially text messages or from emails.

Newbies are not just the only target for scammers, anybody can be a prey to scammers. The reason why newbies are easily scammed bu scammers is because of the lack of knowledge and experience. Scammers have so many strategies that they can use in getting people that is why sometimes people who are not even beginner for victim of scam. Irrespective of age, knowledge, experience it is possible for one to be a victim of scam, that is why it is important for one to be very conscious about things their is no better knowledge about, don't be too fast to make deals strangers.

Being skeptical and trying found out more about things will also prevent people from falling victim to scam, try as much to educate yourself how scammers works.

without exception everyone can be deceived, it's just that the measure of greed between newbies and seniors is different, on average seniors who are deceived are those who have really been deceived completely, unlike newbies who are deceived, usually they have no experience at all. for that, what needs to be done is to continue updating the latest information because usually seniors are lazy enough to update the latest information so they are vulnerable to the latest model of fraud.

#never trust 100% anything or anyone you meet online this is rule number one.
