It's fine but I wouldn't judge if I had never tested it for a while. But whether you wanna give that search engine a chance or not is completely up to you ofc. :)

If you wanna know how it respects its user's privacy you need to do some research as it's a little complex. I don't see where you get scammed just by using the search engine. It's like you're saying you got scammed by a car seller once so you'll never make any other attempt to buy a car ever again.

In the meantime I got to understand why Kagi needs an account: It's their business model. You have to pay to make searches that exceed the free 100 searches. So of course you need an account.

It's more that I got scammed once buying a car at the side of the road not realizeing it was fly by night, so now I won't buy cars except from established dealers. Idk I saw the part where they said buy some new crypto coin, and then the bit where it works because someone is buying this coin so they can pay some people running the search. YMMV, I just pass on anything that talks about crypto at this point.
