It's not just newcomers, even veterans can fall for it. While you could blame naivety, greed is also the driving factor.

Cause they have a get rich quick mentality? They rush into it without properly educating themselves about the responsibilities that come with being your own bank.

An alternative way, if you're busy and don't have much time to put too much effort to educate your friends or even acquaintances, you can tell them to let you know and confirm if they're about to join something or put some money into something in this cryptocurrency world.

Also with this way, they will have more impactful experience and get better picture of scam cases. Sometimes if you educate/tell people in the beginning, they wont understand enough or not get a clear picture of it.

At least this is better than doing nothing if you dont have much time to help them.

You chose to "Be Your Own Bank" don't get complacent and scammed, I did.

Not always newbies, though I did get scammed walking in the door so to speak in 2017, before I found the forum. When this most recent experience happened, another veteran member also got scammed through a different method, and a third almost got tangled up in something but managed to avoid losing anything besides time.

Honestly most scam attempts in crypto are no different than the schemes they employ with Fiat or Gift cards. What is more common is that a newbie will post about their scam, either to share the story or to find out if they had been scammed. With anything though if you are new and have questions shitty people will see this as an opportunity to exploit you so there is a higher risk for them.

Because they are newbies,they don't have enough experience with investments on schemes so they trust random advertisements and ends up getting scammed but not only newbies even veterans also get trapped due to negligence.

Newbies should avoid plans like these:

1. Bitcoin doublers -  you can get your bitcoins doubled in a day or week.

2 Cloud mining

3. Deposit bonus - deposit 0.1BTC and get 1BTC in return.

something that is too good to be true

Well, not only newbies but also the experienced can get scam in crypto. Also if a newbie account post in bitcointalk and tell you about his story, it does not mean that he is newbie in the crypto world. He may be Newbie on this forum, but could be much older in cryto-currencies.

By default, crypto is not something simple, which can be understood immediately after someone engages in it.
However, it takes some time and experience to better understand things and more easily identify fraud.
However, the main reason why people are deceived is not their inexperience but greed.
When new people hear about crypto and see examples of past earnings, they sometimes get impatient and wants to make such big profits in the short term, without long waiting, and then greed can lead them to fall victim to fraud.
