I really don't understand, it's already 2019 and people are still believing that cloud mining is still one way to earn and the best way to invest your money??? *face-palm*..
Thats why we need to expand our effort in telling people like this,we cannot blame them for being a victim as cloud mining really promise huge profit than the other area of profiteering here
I almost entered this mining field when a friend of mine told me about this issue and lucky that instead of cloud mining i bought cryptocurrency and tokens for long term holding
Now atleast i can still see my capital(even though they dropped from upto 50% but still chances are i can profit huge in future
I actually had the same experienced with you. I have friends who suddenly woke up one day and invite me to join on those cloud minings in 2017, lol. The thing is that I'm not aware that they're also into crypto so I was caught by surprised and I told them that majority of them are scams.
So they didn't believed in me and later I found out that they have been scammed and come back to me saying that they should have listened to me.

Lucky that I am not one of those friends of yours who cried after being scammed and not listening to advices lol 😂
But at least they become a good example to others so they wont be a victim in same scenario.i hate scammers as I hate being victim also
