COMMON SCAMS WE SEE EVERYDAY AND HOW TO AVOID THEM.

in #hive-1745783 months ago

As we all know cyber crime is one of the most common crimes around and everyone is to be very careful not to fall for such scams.

I was doing my normal research to gather information concerning the next community or brand am to talk about and I came around this post in the 3speak discord server, I have been a victim of such before and it wasn't actually funny.

First of all you send them a message of interest and then they start telling you about investment and will even show you proof, some even go extra miles to help you start just so you can trust them and invest with your own money there's where the downfall starts, another thing they do is that you'll continue to pay fees to withdraw the 100k that's given to you.

This people have lots of tools and proofs to enable them scam anyone that reached out to them, most times they are bet predictors, other times they are investment agents and more, I will make out time to list the types of scams and how to avoid them but if you come across something like this on your private chat or group chats try as much as possible not to be carried away by the offer.

Most scams are carried out on telegram and discord cause these are where investors meet and do business so they target this people and give them something like an offer to lure them into investing certain amount of money and at the end of the day they get scammed there.

The best way to avoid getting scammed is to ignore such messages, block the sender and report the account also to prevent others you have to share the profile to prevent others, real business people don't make 100k within 3 days without any form of legit deal or they can't just give you a hack to it, if there were ways to make such within a week which is 7 days I would be a billionaire as I spend time doing research to educate and also guide people.
