First way to avoid getting scammed is to be Skeptical about everything, and unsolicited private messages or DMs should be treated with Skepticism hence if otherwise any dreams sold to you by anyone should not be bought, don't hesitate to leave such conversations that have too much of promise of returns to you.
Everyone must limit themselves from interacting with unfamiliar people, especially those who intend to offer help or certain benefits to us. We are in an environment where scammers roam, and we can follow anything to gather a lot of information. However, we must wisely limit our interactions with unknown individuals.
This is also quite vulnerable for those who have businesses to offer services. Choosing clients will be very important.
Even as we agree to be very careful or sceptical about opportunities and people online, one of our majoy problem is these scammers. Yea! They have so rebranded and have grown in wisdom to deceive. It is just too surprising how far a scammer can go to gather facts, cook up stories and arrange all necessary documents, offices and personnels with which he will use to scam you. Sometimes, victims really get careful and try all means to avoid any scam, but at the end, when it promises to be confirmed and true, they still end up crying. Too bad.
But the bottom line still remains, if they can do all that to deceive you to fall victims for them, we too can also go extra miles in making proper fundings, asking questions and ensuring its viability and workability before ourselves financially. How true is the success story? How workable is it? Look at its future in the next ten years ahead, is it still sustainable? All these and many more should firm your mindset. Also check, how desperate is this client or preacher in bringing me in, does he really need me to stay alive or he is just helping me out, and my decision totally depends on my wish? Watch closely, his reactions will reveal his mindset.
I have been scammed before, and I know how it feels. Any story that sounds too sweet and real may be misleading at the end. The truth be told. You cannot make it anywhere without doing work. So does this opportunity preach hard work and get paid or invest, relax and get pain? Knowledge is needed, make research, proper research before involving. The ball is in your court
