A lot of persons, falls victims of fraud every time, all in the name of Bitcoin investment. Probably got intimidated by some friends or somewhat websites that says 'pay this to get more'. You should at least be mind full of sites where you want to invest on, ask questions, make research's and try knowing more about the sites you are investing on.do not fall for all these get rich schemes. On the other hand, when you have finally found a legit site to invest, don't go to far, as much as taking loans from people just in the name of investment, I was a victim too and it wasn't good at all. I was down for a very long time, before I got back up on my feet. Yeah sure this was greed in the way that I totally forgot that I had other responsibilities to take care of and decided to put all my money into investment that never brought a return.
Unfortunately, there are people who lack experience or act in bad faith and end up being scammed, and with Bitcoin, it's even easier because a high degree of privacy is maintained. It's important to always do your research before investing in anything.
The weird part is that there are so many people who gets scammed while trying to scam, that's the weirdest part. Like for example if you click on something that says "free 1 bitcoin!!" and you get hacked, are you really an innocent person? Could you say that you weren't really doing something a bit fishy yourself? Who gives who free 20 thousand dollars?
It was obvious that you were trying to scam "someone" for it, even if the ad said so, it's obvious that this money would come out of someone and you were going to get it that easily? There are tons of people and situations that happened with similar mindset to this and I think I would say that it is not that easy.
