After reading how a forum user  Almost Gave Scammers Access To his wallet, there is a need to state how important it is not to be deceived or fooled by titles. This is an advice to newbies and some other forum users to not be deceived or fooled by titles. There is a tendency for someone to let his/her guard down when approached or contacted by another person with a title like Chief executive officer(CEO), Managing director(MD), Consultant, Project Manager, Business Development Manager, Investor, Forex trader etc. due to the fact that titles naturally accord respect to the individual who bears them. Do not be deceived, scammers can easily bear these titles to have an advantage over you.
 
Don't let your guard down.

Just to add some information about your post, I remember there was a person asking this forum if the project that he is potentially investing on is legit. The website was designed generically but there were tons of information available (e.g. whitepaper, team pictures, etc.) which made it look genuine at first.

When I looked into the team pictures, it reflected some images that looked very dubious and sketchy due to face misalignments and disproportionate features (e.g. left nostril looked straight, while the right looked curved, etc.). They also have names which sounded "smart" with matching titles. When I tried reverse-searching the images, nothing reflected but what gave it to me to conclude that it was computer generated was due to the background of the picture.

Normally, computer generated AI images have this some sort of wavy and weird backgrounds that somehow affect the overall features of these people. Again, don't let yourself be fooled just by the fact that people have nice titles, names, and pictures on the internet.
