I guess we all have to be informed about these scammers. This is an online space for christ sake, I don't know why someone will be paying ears to just anyone who messages them. We have to be very careful as these scammers are sometimes difficult to recognise until after they have pulled their scheme. They will come up with different ways to tray to convince you into believing them. They can go to any extent so long they get what they want. That why I don't share my personal handles to just anyone on the forum.
Even when people that have knowledge they still get scammed and majority of all this cases is because people are actually very greedy and this is exactly what is bringing the issue because who would have imagined that even with your knowledge you are scammed, it is as simple as it is just greed because people are just so focused on wanting to make more money.
And it is good to have idea of making money but you should make the right choice by following the best step if its trading trade, then what ever investment that might be proposed should be careful looked into before attempt. It is better to just do the write things.
