Invest in knowledge and wisdom first which is why I agree with your 1st statement " If it's too good to be true, it's not true".Nothing is free in this world and there's nothing such as easy money so always doubt whenever people talk about something like this. Always think about the consequence of your action before you decide what you'll do.

Choosing investment is something that wouldnt really be easy and we know that there are two type of investors which are those who are just new or noob or to those who do have experienced on this world.
Getting yourself scammed do typically or commonly happen when you are just starting up but basically you could really get rid of these things in early basis when you make yourself some research.
There are situations which cant really be avoided because we arent that perfect but because of having some sufficient experience then we could at least be aware on how things
do work and what things should be avoided.

Correct, victims are partially responsible for their own tragedy, they want to believe there is a way to multiply their money fast without risk and without any effort on their part, when we tell them this is not possible they do not want to hear us as this goes against their beliefs, but when a scammer comes to them with that same speech they believe him, why? Because they want to believe him precisely because that is what they are looking for, only to realize too late that we were right.

I have said many times that scammers wouldn't scam you if you don't help them to do so. Unconsciously we are helping scammers, sometimes consciously as well by taking chance. Since we are related to crypto-currency so definitely somehow greedy offers will pop up the front of us. It would happen through social media like Telegram or Twitter or others sources as well. If we respond to them then we might fall into a scam. Even scammers would hack your wallet or device as well. So the first requirement is to avoid scams that don't help scammers by responding to their greedy offers. So you can save your valuable assets.

Indeed, because indeed from business people all want to get profits as much as possible and will definitely use their respective ways even though the method is indeed dirty and inhuman.
and perhaps the anticipation especially in online like this is don't believe it too much to anyone here because indeed this is very vulnerable especially with people who only know in the world online other than that maybe we must be more realistic in seeing all opportunities because it is not possible for all forms of business can get a big profit even though it's true there are only a few and will be hard to find.

Avoiding scam becomes difficult when greed is at the fore. I just always assume that the goal of business people is the same, namely to reap the greatest possible profit from their business partners. As for companies which offers a maximum profit of 5% of capital is a reasonable level. If it's more than that, I don't think there's any sane business there except trying to trick one of them.

Of course, you can describe the real risk that may arise! That comes from "knowing the matter"! How to know is one of those things that are easy to say but hard to do... you need to get your hands dirty, you need to heat up your chair... depending on what you want to know!

Maybe ridiculous, but the most simple and effective example would be playing roulette! For people who don't know anything about roulette numbers, colors and lines can be all the same, but they aren't! Depending on where you place your chips (stake) will depend the risk you are taking in order to multiply your chips! Now you can apply this to everything around, but some things can be very complicated to understand, unlike in roulette!

How to spot real risks, how to neutralize or prevent them, comes from the knowledge! More you know safer you can be! It's why we speak about education, everyone needs to learn and learn, and learn more... it's the only way to get to the knowledge!

Scams that occur in the crypto world do look simple and obvious but other scams tend to be more complex and sometimes difficult to avoid, and we must be really careful not to do things that are not desirable because everything happens unexpectedly.
and the most common types of crypto scams like fake crypto gifts, trading bot website scams, phishing emails and so on.
to avoid enabling 2FA authentication which is one of the powerful ways to keep my account secure, and not to use the same password for all associated crypto accounts and so as not to forget I copy it on paper and I keep it in a safe place and always log out when I sign in and don't open emails or incoming links I don't recognize, and so on.

...

Can you really describe what real risks may arise? And describe the ways to neutralize these risks, or prevent them?

1. Mind those who you give your phones to make calls and contacts to people you don't know.
2. ALways be conscious, or better still, avoid connecting with Wifi networks as this is a means of extracting your data.
3. Always remember to log off your personal accounts (emails, social media) etc. when you use public cafe' and
4. Report any problem associated with the loss of any of your financial institutions to your banks.
5. Be able to patiently read terms and conditions before saying yes or accepting terms and conditions sent to you.
   Lastly
6. Be able to cross-check emails sent to your phones regarding your financial statements as the messages are clone to,
    resemble your banks, but rather having slight changes mostly at the middles with one word having different fonts.
