what's the difference between the two tenses?
could anyone explain the difference to me thanks.

I was a fool.

I've been  a fool.

Answer

At times, English grammar has shades of interpretation and your question falls into this category.  I would interpret "I was a fool" as referring to an action that has been completed.  
"I've been a fool" refers more to an action that is ongoing and open to a change of course.

Answer

'I was fool' mean assuming yourself as lacking sense or wisdom.
'I've been fooled' mean that you are been deceived by someone due to your foolishness.
