RE: Can't resteem a story older than 7 days? Oh well, read this though! BitConnect promoter Craig Grant and his girl were Nigerian scammers!

Its a valuable lesson to share. Someone just like this got a hold of a relative of mine and the relative lost everything including their life. All along they believed they were a couple of weeks away from hundreds of millions. It was a long con that lasted years and continually reset with new angles to bring in new money. The saddest thing that ever happened to me.

Sort:  

I was a millionaire, once. Brought a lot of fair-weather friends with it, including several con men. Took a lot of effort to extract from that situation, lost half a million doing so (long story, not sure I want to carve it into the blockchain's stone...). Didn't have a happy ending for the con man, either (not my doing, other than perhaps not fighting back enough and enabling him to go on and be more reckless in creating victims).

That story about your relative sucks though, I'm so sorry to hear. Your wording "a couple weeks away" is similar to what happened to me.

enough said you understand
