I'm putting together a dossier as I confirm that I have been caught in a mid-range binary options scam. The scam worked because of an interconnected series of cold calls I received via social media around the same time, that seemed to confirm the substance of the binary options opportunity.
This isn't to cast any negative light upon the virtue of investing in well-chosen and researched blockchain innovations.
Indeed, my sensible forays into this field are what gave me the financial freedom to consider subsisting on my crypto gains alone.
I'll make the money back. As an extremely positive-thinking person, I simply can't understand people who could devote even a second of their day to plotting to scam their fellow humans.
It's a mind-set I simply don't have.
I contacted my local police station - today, Redfern - and asked what I should do in the event of being scammed in an online financial scam.
In the first instance, they directed me to make an official complaint to ACORN and check out SCAM Watch.
So today, I am putting together a dossier of events and conversations and submitting it to ACORN.
Have a great day out there, fellow Steemians. Everyone has setbacks. It's how we deal with them that matters.
