That's right, bash it in, a Baton in the Skull!
Some folks in this cryptosphere will try to scam anyone be it Whale, Dev or even Satoshi. Whatever goes on in these fraudulent people's mind, thinking everyone using the Blockchain and it's digital assets are easy prey and would fall for the most foolish traps of getting swindled of their funds will remain unknown. Unfortunately, a lot of us had fallen victims one time and thousands and millions more would be trapped and swindled.
Let's analyze this, a very popular attempt to rip people of their tokens. I had fallen victim too while I just started investing in crypto mid 2017, but I didn't really consider myself dumb nor foolish because I know you could stake/invest a certain amount and get daily returns. So I invested some BTC, Dogecoin, ETH and LTC to get daily returns on separate platforms. I got my full investment back on the rest and more in terms of ROI but the BTC returns failed to come in after 6 days. So I lost my capital and the returns to the scammy platform.
Till date, I still ask myself whenever I see such investment, I wonder the number of people that are falling into this trap. Now the one that is more stupid is the one in which a scam artist disguised as a trader and promise to double your funds or triple it in a week or less, that looks so stupid and fishy for anyone to try out if you know the ultra volatile nature of crypto market. Nothing good comes that easy, but these scammers don't seem to share in that reality while they go around sending unsolicited mails and texts to unsuspecting victims.
Whatever a scammer claimed they can do for you in a short time, you can do so yourself with due diligence and maybe a longer time. There's no shortcut to making gains in assets trading and investment, if you are greedy to want to double your portfolios overnight, then you could lose it all same way!
