The most effective way - ultimately - of avoiding anything more than having your time wasted by scammers is never to send people money.

This right here is the best advice for new people online.

It's good advice for anyone.
It doesn't happen to me often because I am a woman, but I do get the occasional request because I am a feeder. I won't say that you should never give someone money online. I met my partner here, and I buy him food from time to time. But I didn't do that until I'd known him for a while. Plus, he also buys me things.
That said, if you do decide to give someone money, you are taking a risk. And no matter how smart you are, you are not immune to scamming.
As a general guideline, don't give money to strangers, don't think with your crotch, and if it feels off, it probably is.

This right here.
Believe it or not there are legitimately feedees here. If you build a trust or a relationship absolutely go at your own risk.
However, anyone who asks me to feed them and I barely know them, usually won't be talking with me for long.
Yeah. Even if they won't scam you, that's a user right there.
That said, please mindful of how you interact with people. Just because a person (usually a woman) doesn't do what you want them to do doesn't make them a scammer.
That happened to me one time during my early days on FF. I hit things off with a user, and he wanted to move things to Discord. I was fine with it, so we exchanged details. He immediately wanted to do a video call so I could watch him eat and encourage him.
I declined because it wasn't a good time for me and I don't show myself to people unless I trust them. He immediately accused me of being a scammer despite the fact that I never asked him for money. I tore him a new asshole and blocked him.
My story isn't unique either. I've spoken to a lot of women who experienced similar things and worse.
