It's a good thing to be scammed for a small amount at some point IMO. It's like a vaccine; makes you more careful in the future. I lost $10 to Bitscalper in 2012; amount was insignificant but it certainly did teach me the stupidity of trusting anonymous people with money in the hopes of getting a few percent profit.
