Unfortunately yes. there are still many people who fall for such scams that even a 5 years old can tell is a scam. I don't know what is wrong with these people but Greed is a bad thing. it can make anyone loose their minds.
I see everyday in telegram and discord groups filled with complains about such incidents happened with them. mostly by fishing websites, they get scammed from them and then turn to official website's servers to complain and ask for help. which is not possible.
that's why I think when someone enters into crypto space he must educate himself properly about crypto and how this space works before making any financial decision.
