Some people make an investments on other platforms that is said crypto related but they only turn into a scam after they collected millions of Peso. People here are always easy to fool when it comes to money.
It happens to most most Africans too. Reason is, the high rate of poverty makes them to search for alternative ways of earning extra income and without proper guide they become victim of scammers. It happen to me once and that's why i use my spare time to host seminars, educating/informing youths interested in bitcoin related business on how to spot/avoid scams.
