It offers 2X of the amount of money you send in.
I can't believe that people fall in those scams. Have you ever seen in real life someone tell you "Transfer me some money in my bank account. I will transfer you back 2x."
Why would someone do this?
People are insane with bitcoin...
Bitcoin is not a tool to make people get rich quick. It is just a currency. It works as a currency.
True, but people don't understand it. Lack of awareness or knowledge leads people to bad decisions and poor choices, simply because everyone is desperate for money, and nobody knows what they are doing. I mean, if the Nigerian prince scam continues to work to this day, why wouldn't new, uneducated crypto users fall for a scam involving coins?
