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.

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.

Yeah I agree, anyone can be scammed and it doesn't have to do with how long you have been here.

Obviously, newbies are a lot more prone to getting scammed because scammers in the crypto world do not look like scammers in real life, they actually do start a project, they look like they are going to build a real token and do something, so you invest your time and/or money with them, and they look like they continue to do a good job for a while more and suddenly they rug pull and take all your money with them out of nowhere. That is the problem and I believe that is what we are going to have trouble with newbies who just see something that will end up with a problem on the long run and they will not understand how that works at all.

This is why we need to be careful with all our investments, what looks to be a legit project could turn out to be a rug pull. Not every scammer will take your money directly, they will take your "investment" and rug pull you.

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.

It's just about most of the people who have been fooled themselves are newcomers so that people who are already experienced enough in this forum and have become very senior in this forum will not be easily fooled again unless the scammer himself has a very powerful setting to deceive many people indiscriminately. Because of the many cases of fraud, the victims are often new people who still don't have much knowledge so they often become victims of fraud in various sectors and over time those who have experienced such things will also experience developments in their way of thinking so that they will not easily trust people they don't know.

What is being fooled?
Fraud committed by scammers can happen anywhere and anytime. Even more so in matters related to online.
If I do not misunderstand what you mean, here there is no such thing as beginners and those who have been around for a long time, if negligence that is not based on knowledge will become a victim. And what I want to say is that here, we are expected to be good people who are ready to provide answers to the ignorance asked by beginners.

The scammers are there forever, so...in understanding the same sentence, you just need to have a lot of experience and think or make the mistake that due to your experience it is something that will not happen to you, that is, confidence in your skills and/or knowledge is the first mistake that can be made to fall for a scam.

Even if you go out to move your car one meter, put on your seatbelt if something happens you are very close to saving your life... Similar to your question OP.

Good advice, then both new and old can be duped by scammers. However, newbies need to be more careful and proceed with a lot of knowledge and observation.

Of a truth anyone can be scammed if not being careful but newbies are mostly scammed because they seem to be pretty new in the environment, where an user most has been scammed or learn from what has happened to others at the cost of their longevity in the forum. However we are all vulnerable and prone to be scammed because scammers too are also working tiredlessily in devicing means of scamming which anyone can fall a victim if the appropriate measures are not properly kept in place at all time and places. We should always keep in check without any form of assumption that we are perfect.

You better not to give much stress about scam on this forum with anynomous users, as for your current profile stats you were here on this forum for four days and barely made six post only till now. You should better observe and figure it out how this forum works, finding out the relevant section board to post related new topic. And don't forget you are surrounded by legendary members, the more you give time learning and sticking around and see how people talk it will make easier to spot the fishy one, then soon you will know how to move without worry Wink

This shouldn't be on Speculation but a Beginners and Help topic.

And to answer your question, it is because we have times that we're too vulnerable.

Anyone can be scammed. If you are not careful enough, you can be a newbie in this forum and still have more scam awareness knowledge than some of the high-ranked here. The idea and knowledge are not based on rank but are based on who is behind it. Sometimes the level of thinking of an individual can also help them detect a scam even without making further digging.

But one thing I notice is that it is uncommon to see a higher-ranking member get scammed so easily, the same way scammers can easily convince newbies in this space to fall into their trap.
