I joined Pump and Dump groups and burned some coins twice withing a couple of minutes. Just stay away from this groups, you will lose. I tested "The big pump" and another smaller one "Crypto Pump Diary". Only the admin and maybe a few others will have profit, but most of you will just pay for it.
Do not make the same stupid mistake and stay away from this. It is mostly scam.
I'll just HODL from now on

i also do not trust on them. I stay on some bigger exchanges where a large number of traders buy and sell coins and I examine coins on that exchange and when I see a coin with a high potential I do invest in that coin. So I am away from the loses like you faced and I always earn a good profit from my trade and investment in any coin.
