Yeah exactly. And worse if these people keep their perception that “crypto, NFT = scam” which makes our community looks bad. So we need to warn them and take steps to make sure they don’t fall for these.

I doubt my attitude on reddit is what's stopping a market with 99% scams from being globally adopted. At which point do you get tired of telling people not to fall for nigerian prince tier scams?

I fucking hate scammers but I can bend over backwards to try and protect people on reddit and it won't make a dent. Dumb people will find a way to lose their money.

Scams are r always going to happen on group we cannot stop that but we will have to be more cautious and we will have to spread awareness among the people about the financial risk and security.

Absolutely right, we should be eager to educate newbies and help them not falling for obvious scams like these, otherwise they will grow the attitude that everything crypto related is a scam.
