One of the reason why newbies get easily scam is because they show to someone that they are holding some crypto and that's why scammer can easily message them and offer a bait. Never ever entertain someone you don't know personally or never share something that would cause to compromise your anonymity.
Only talk to someone that you do know has a good reputation when handling crypto currency and lots of people trusted that guy. And always do your own research first if you are in doubt or not research will always tells you the truth ahead.

its true it telegram too many thoose "investors"
Not true.You'll barely find real investors on telegram but instead, there's more assurance that you get to see more scammers than investors there.
Random strangers will never contact you through message to help you with your crypto investments, this should be obvious to everyone of you, just reply them 'scammer' and hit the block button or adjust your social media app to block unknown strangers, there are many of these people on telegram, Twitter, Reddit etc
You can add Facebook but telegram is very notorious for this because the telegram features help scammers to imitate people, by changing the name, you only need a phone number to create one, I have read a lot of scam activities on Telegram these scammers are good in communication, they target your greediness or eagerness to make a profit, the best way to do counter is to never give them a chance by immediately blocking them.
Proper research,consistent reading,consultation from a trusted colleague that can never scam you,are some possible ways in which one can invest safely without being scammed. It's not a thing of shock or surprise that people still fall a prey to scammers,because as the day increases,so do their knowledge increase about scamming..
I advise anyone who invests in cryptocurrencies or wants to learn something about crypto to not looking for any knowledge on social media and not investing money listening to the advice of strangers. There are much more useful ways to spend your free time than to spend it on Twitter, FB or Telegram looking for some opportunities that could make you rich - there is a better chance of winning the lottery than being contacted by an honest man who really wants to help you.
Crypto and social media are an ideal combination for scam, if you don't know how to recognize a threat, it's best not to even use them.

Don’t know how these scammers can easily deceive people.
They can easily deceive people that has zero knowledge about bitcoin.Need to be more careful with scammers who are approaching via social media using the name of trading.
But they are easy to find out. When you see them "expert traders" on their profiles, that's already a sign of the scammer.

That is what you need to do when you got a message from people you do not know.They can easily offer you interesting offers and once you tempt with their offers, they will start to explain how they work.
But if you are sure they are scammers, you will not care about them instead, block their account and report it so you will not get scam by them.
Many social media scammers will use to scam people, and we need to be careful.
It's just time for everyone to understand for a long time that any advertisement from a stranger promising a big or not very profit is fraudulent. Turn on your logic and ask yourself, who has extra money? Who will distribute what does not interfere with himself? Conversely, with promises of large profits, scammers are looking for people who do not know how to reason logically and are ready to do anything to get them paid.
If already in real life we have to be very careful with strangers, then the Internet is a place where more and more scammers appear every year

so in particular, on Telegram always pays attention to the username; if the person chatting with you suddenly is someone you know, it could be a clone or fake account.
Already the teams has made it clear that they'll never contact you first so if you're on telegram, consider anyone that contacts you first as a scammer and immediately they start trying to help you can know if they're legit by searching for their username in the group chat.
If the users is truly working for the project then the account must have some kind of identification in the main group chat. When such identication like (community manager or moderator) isn't attached to the users username then you should know immediately that you're dealing with a scammer and the profile should be reported immediately and inform others in the group of the users intentions.

I wont even bother to reply, to their emails or chat message if there os one, the first thing I do, is delete it, for example in an email, because you never know, what is in there or if tou open it, there might be a script that will be trigger and before tou know it, you already fall in a trap, so my advice is ignore emails and chat messages, delete immediately, and never give information, to random strangers, even if they say you register or apply to any.

Indeed, it should be a hint already if ever you experience such kind of things. No one would ever help you out and give you large amount of money or profit not unless you work hard for it. There are a lot of social media platforms and at the same time, there are a lot of scammers on each too. Be careful on whom you are giving your trust to, it could be much better if you would not even give your trust to anyone other than yourself. Be wise and smart when picking which investment to join so that you will gain money instead of losing because of frauds. Many of these scammers are on telegram pretending to be a support of the team or exchanges.
Right, I've met an account pretending to be someone else. He chats with me and offers me transactions because I want to buy some bsc before. Luckily, I saw a post from him before that. He said someone had created a telegram clone of him, so in particular, on Telegram always pays attention to the username; if the person chatting with you suddenly is someone you know, it could be a clone or fake account.
Many of these scammers are on telegram pretending to be a support of the team or exchanges. This is why you shouldn't trust anyone sending me a message because if you reply to them, it's just gonna go somewhere else and might just persuade you to do something else. It's a waste of time especially if you know you don't need help but they seem to talk to you.
I still can't believe how many people still falls for it. Someone I know from Discord got scammed out of $500.
Men they are hard headed people. There are somw who will not believe until they experience it otherwise. Most of these got scammed are probably wanted or hot encouraged by the money being offered. These scammers learn how to got your attention in any way they can feel how to get you. As someone whom got impresss easily thats dangerous. Youll really gonna get scammed if you are entertaining on talking with strangers. 
Just be more careful and not easy to be influenced by big profits offers. Most newbies lost their money because of too hurry sending their money to a stranger. They even didn't check first whether it is realistic or not. Newbies must learn from many cases of losing money because of a careless way or lazy to cross-check the offers firstly. Blocking strangers won't be effective if the newbies' mindset not changed.

But unfortunately, not many people get trapped and end up losing their money. Why is that? Because they want instant results, they are attracted by the profits that will result from what they offer.Let alone the way through social media, even scammers on YouTube, websites, phishing links, and others, it becomes a medium that is very easy to deceive its victims. This is also the same, not a few are trapped. And in the end, you will regret or even regret crypto for the loss it has experienced. It seems like it has become a habit and also agreed for getting profits.
Of course random strangers are the once that actually approaches you with this intent of helping to see you through your crypto investment with a bid to help you earn the most of it. Certainly, they are scammers! Geneue opportunities doesn't come on a gold plata, you've got to seek it out. Anyone who seeks you out sees in you the opportunity to enrich himself or herself and that is what scamming could be. Should the ways to making it big be as they 9ften propose, why then do they stress themselves over someone they know nothing of. You ain't even a family member nor a relative or a towns person but then, your being picked an interest in for a thing you never applied for.
Don't be tempted, let them be the billionaire they could and want to be but, ensure you make them understand that they should live you out of it. There is nothibg wrong with small beginnings so long as there is progress. Stay consistent and you'll be fine.
