Jesus Christ...
The bitcoin community is gullible as fuck. Therefore, it attracts scammers.
That's how simple it is. No pathetic posts about feeling betrayed, no multiple threads about the same topic (being butthurt about getting scammed), no tears and drama is needed.
The only thing you all need, is to learn how to use your brains. Do not trust anyone, especially not just because you had sweet chit-chat over Skype and PM's. Your parents obviously failed to raise you, because even kindergarten kids know they're not supposed to trust strangers.
i dont know where you come from but i am proud to be raised in a way to first assume other people are honest.
i should not think this about random internet people though; lessen learned.
You're lucky no random person ever came up to you as a child and said your parents had been in a terrible accident and that you need to come with them.
