Well, it could be the hype that these scammers have been doing just to attract innocent people into trading. And because of the beginner's greed to trade and earn quick profits, then its undeniable that people easily fall on their traps and lose on their initial trading capital. And it usually happens to most of the beginner traders, simply because they don't have stable knowledge and their trading skills are not yet developed.

However, being a victim of scammers could be an eye opener to everyone that in trading, you can't trust no one but only yourself. So trade with knowledge and skills, and with the right attitude to trade, so you won't end up quitting in trading just like most of the newbies have decided to.
