RE: How I was scammed for the First time ("Find the Lady" scam).

in #scammers7 years ago (edited)

Hello @swissclive
Glad to hear from you after a long time.
Being scammed at an young age must have hurt. Am sure growing up you let that mistake guide you.
No body wants to be scammed, at first it looks like a joke or a dream and in a fraction of a second you realize that you've lost something of importance to you.
Am from a country where scamming is the order of the day. Down here people take scamming as a serious business and everyday i pray not to encounter any of them, both online and offline.

I've also been scammed too, not at an early age.. Well none that i can remember.
But the last time, i can remember vividly how i lost 50k naira to a ponzi scheme, i was told I'll be getting 100% ROI in 48hours .... Sounds like a good deal, right?
I needed funds badly and i stuck with the saying "No risk, No reward".
To cut the story short, the next day the site was no longer available on the internet, i was kicked out of the group and i couldn't reach any of the admins. I've never felt so helpless in my life.

Ever since then i have been cautious. And i found a good philosophy to help me

If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't.
