Just to make it clear, I am not looking for free Bitcoin. I lost a significant amount to a fraudulent online trading platform which has now been shutdown. I have accepted my loss and am not soliciting these people who randomly contact me. I would never pay anything upfront to these individuals. if someone claims to have access to any of my investment funds and wants to transfer them to me without an upfront payment then I would do my due diligence first. My first inclination when someone contacts me is that it is a scam. If I am unsure then I seek the advice of the forum members to educate me. In this instance I knew nothing about Bitcoin.org but you guys have educated me and I now know how what red flags to look for.
The community here is always here to provide advice and support, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns, not unless you're trolling us with a fake story.
Sorry, for your loss, but yet, that's great that you accepted your loss.
Never entertain strange people on the Internet, there are many scams and fraudulent schemes out there, and it can be difficult to distinguish between legitimate offers and those that are designed to take advantage of people. Do your own due diligence and thoroughly research any offers or opportunities before agreeing to anything, and always verify their claims before making any decisions.
However, since someone introduced you the Bitcoin.org, I suggest that this is the best tool to gain knowledge and will protect you from any fraudulent attempt in the future.
