Just wished I would have done a lot more research and came here to this forum before investing. Stupid stupid!
Don't blame yourself too much OP. Sometimes, making mistakes is pretty normal when it comes to investing.
I will not ask how much you invested in that scam group, but what I will say is, that making a mistake for the first time is still good, but if you make the same mistake twice then you have a problem already.
It seems like such an obvious scam to anybody with common sense but if you’ve never been victim of an online scam you might not know what signs to look for. Even if there is some skepticism, scammers will manipulate your emotions to make themselves seem trustworthy.
A professional looking website and hired shills to vouch for their legitimacy can be enough to convince some people to put their concerns aside and take risks with their money when they are offered substantial profits.
