While some individuals might still fall for it, after paying a specific amount of funds to the scammers, the scammers might find a way to convince them to just leave it that it will grow. You might even see your money increase and then the scammer will approach you and tell you to keep investing. Because of the money you have seen, the individual will send more money again. But when it reaches the time to withdraw, it becomes a problem. That's when most realize that it's a scam, but it's too late.
My advise is that it's good to always stay informed about everything, and when approached with such an offer and you know nothing about it find someone with knowledge about all these internet scams to confirm it, so you wont fall victim to it.
Oh yes... This happens a lot. What I found out with these scams is they take advantage of your emotions and look at the extent to which they can draw you in to get more of your funds. They also pay close attention to your level of patience and desperacy. I like the way you also advised people to stay informed about things even if it's not possible to know everything. The ability to be able to ask questions about such scenarios from people who are experienced in the game so they can guide u..there's no gain saying you will keepsuch decisions to your self when you might end up being swindled of your money.
A person with common sense will be able to identify such a campaign as soon as he sees it. For this, he does not need to be very educated, rather he needs to have practical knowledge or common sense. There is a big difference between a person with common sense and an educated person. There are many educated people who are falling into the trap of this scam.
If you are a realistic person, then it will not take you long to understand that this is a seductive campaign and what they are saying is not possible in reality. Because no one in the world will benefit you by harming themselves. Even this institution has no basis for it. After seeing such a campaign, you should have only one question in your mind that if it is possible to earn such a huge amount of money in 24 hours, then why are there so many poor people in our country? Why don't they use this service and become rich by doubling their money?
Don't you hear of the adage which says common sense is not common? If the entire world is lived by people who possess the quality of a common sense like you mentioned, we won't all have been in a mess with ourselves. We won't have gotten the scammers and imposters who will dedicate the whole of their lives and time to taking wealths which doesn't belong to them through deceptive manners. We would have gotten a society where people have the common sense to say, what doesn't belong to me, is not mine. The whole idea of scam often is, those grifters and fraudsters leverage on the ignorance of their victims sometimes desperacy to make quick money, to swindle innocent people off their hard earned money. It happens on several occasions particularly to people who live below the poverty line.
The best solution na to STAY AWAY FROM ANY ADVERT or message talking about this kind of scams, JUST DON’T ENGAGE. There’s no investment that can promise you 100% investment returns in a month talk more of a week or 2. And this days they can use AI and make a video of a celebrity advertising for them. So we have to be Very Careful especially those of us that love to follow what a celebrity does or advertises.
This is a big brother's advice to anyone who will listen. Do not engage in any form of advert which promises you a 100% percent investment returns in a month, or less. Do not fall into such mouthwatering offers which will end up making mockery of your intellect and which will cost you your fortune. Try and make research, I mean a proper and solid research first before taking any action. Don't fall for those headlines like 'hurry up', 'limited slots left' etc without taking enough of your time to learn about the advert. It is important you mentioned the issue of AI generated contents particularly of celebrities for adverts. Fraudsters engage in such acts so they will deceive you to believe it's the character himself, thereby hiding under the influence of such celebrity to quickly scam their victims.
But what we can also do is to:
1. Educate ourselves about these scams
2. Do more of digital literacy advocacy online in our local dialects
3. Report scam accounts once you recognize one because we need more voices to protect the powerful reputation behind crypto in our lives.
This is good. Maybe some people will be saved from it with these.
Although, I have noticed that if some people are not scammed, they will not listen until they are scammed. I advised one of my nieces about a particular scam, but when he went to school, she was still scammed. But right now, she has learned her lesson.
Second, good to education but another thing is that some people also will not be lucky but be scammed because the education did not get to them.
I wonder why many of our people choose to taste the feeling themselves to know whether the bitterness you're telling them is truly the case. They don't listen to advises until they fall into trap themselves. They prefer to taste what it feels themselves instead of taking heed from advises coming from you. I'm just thinking about it and I'm like, someone as experienced as Charles will give an advise to another individual (your niece in this case) and they will still not listen to you until they fall into the tricks of the scammers. I'm still wondering...
