Although I don't know the one you try that later turns out to be a scam, sincerely, I know that there are some passive ways to make money that are not scams, or maybe you did not have enough knowledge about the one you tried before, that are not scams, or maybe you did not have enough knowledge about the one you tried before, which is why they scam you. However, you can invest in places, including crypto, and you will earn money.

Furthermore, when they say passive income, it doesn't mean you will not work at all, just that there will not be much effort or stress before you earn, so you just need to do your own research before you start up any of this stuff. I don't know which one to do because we are afraid you will lose and blame someone.
