I got scammed once. It wasn't a big amount, but about 100 USD. It was a cloud mining scheme. I was a noob as well at this time and didn't do enough research about the company and the project. Looking back there were some red flags, but I couldn't notice them. Biggest of them was that there were already some scam accusations on the internet about them. Wish I had googled them. They are not active anymore, at least not with this project. Maybe they have started new one, who knows. So, keep your eyes opened and do your homework, check the backgrounds of people who are managing the project and so on.
You still have to be thankful that you only loss that amount of money.
At first when we enter here, there's a lot of opportunity to make money, however due to our aggressiveness we forget to conduct due diligence that's why we fall as victim. But that's alright, you loss money but you strive hard to learn and eventually you'll earn.
