Let's talk Crypto scams! Somebody asked me about this one, in particular. They talked about how professional and nice looking the person who contacted them appeared to be, and how all they had to do was share the link with a bunch of people "for fun" and earn boatloads of money. I've long been against the idea of first impressions and judging people on appearance. Like I told them, I dress like a bum more often than not. I'm good at my job. I make good money at my job. Likewise, I could be dirt broke and throw myself further into debt to buy a fancy suit. Anybody can get dressed and brush their hair. A lot of people end up getting themselves socially engineered by falling for bogus first impressions. Furthermore, there's no way to prove that the profile is legit. Are they just fancy words the person typed (I'm not the CEO of MegaCorp, but I could play one on the internet!)? Is the picture really them, or is it AI generated or a stock image? Is this somebody that's just found a fancy Linkedin profile to lift? Anyway, tangent aside - does anybody know how these things actually work? I always just block them and move on, this is the first time I've ever given it any thought. Do they set up bogus exchanges? Do they ask for a small transaction with promises of a big return (that never comes? Do they ask you for your keys?

Just like they say “Don't trust, verify". Even I can be a scammer, I will act like I know everything and give some newbies instructions and when they start to trust me BOOM I will show my real face. That's why you shouldn't trust
Honestly I don't know myself why I am so close to some scammers..But I've experienced a lot of scam offers. Last year I was courted by a three different scammers to work for their company..an advertiser. .after that from TG offers me to invest on some tron..the offer was good so I invested there 900 trx and I loss my tron earnings..what left to me was 35 trx..so sad. And until now so many offers,so many messages I received and maybe I learned more. Im so innocent and so curious sometimes I gave it a try..and until now I do still recieve scam offers..oh..I don't know what's they saw in me..I'm too vulnerable sometimes..
When the reward it's too good to be true it's probably not true. On the same boat, they usually prey on the non-educated / naive "investors" that really need some guidance. And they make good money out of them. Nobody it's gonna sell you a millionaire making method, because, doh. They usually ask for money in advance for their strategy or they ask you to send them 10 dollars so they can make their magic trades and get you back 100 to your wallet. It's pretty simple but it works for them. Again, they prey in the uneducated. And they're having success.
All such types of you tube Channels are on fake basis just to earn some money.Most of the people attracted towards the video logo. There are thousands of such Channels which make fake videos Just to earn money from YouTube. I think most of the fake things are available on YouTube as well as fake websites.
