I got “scammed” on Reddit so you don’t have to
| |
Friday I got messaged from someone on Reddit with -3 karma. I was pretty confident he was looking to make money from me and I tried to make it obvious up front. But, he persisted and tried to sell me that he has a way of getting me 25% weekly returns minimum. How could I pass that up! He linked me to some FOREX trading site and convinced me to sign up. So, I signed up as "Michael Scott". He told me he would mirror the same trades he makes himself on my account… I just need to link him to my account to get started. We go on. I feign having trouble with the site and attempt to see if he'll let me send him money directly. Since I refuse to send my ID, he sends me to a new site. This site is even less legit than the first. I decide to upload he profile picture as my verification photo… and soon after he stops talking to me. Feels like I lost a friend. This is just a reminder that if anyone has a bot or a trading strategy that produces ungodly returns, they are 99% likely to be a scam. If they can produce 25% returns weekly reliably, they don't need your business. submitted by /u/shortwhiteguy |
