Mate, this is only tip of the iceberg. This post consider some impatience straight forward scam. I even seen some other social media tactic. They will post some very gorgeous lady picture with some luxury lifestyle, approach you and chat with you for maybe 3-5 days or longer before getting into trading. Then they will tell you how easy they can earn money through trading and that's how they support their lifestyle. By using this sort of tactic, those victim will fall into trap way more easier because of their "GREED" and dreaming on other people lifestyle.

I've seen this strategy/style not in mainstream social media websites but to dating apps like Tinder which is funny since the accounts of these scammers are probably using stolen pics to get your attention and they will right away ask you about their knowledge in crypto trading. The more you don't know anything about cryptocurrencies the more chances you will be scammed by these people. These guys are targeting people who lack knowledge about the crypto industry and the ones who think easy money exists and this won't really stop that is why educating people who you know is something we can do to decrease the people getting victimized by these scammers.

Absolutely true about those dating app. These sort of style very well known in Asia, not only in crypto but also involving other financial trading. If some strangers added you especially with those gorgeous ladies picture and start to chat about trading after a few days, then you have to be extremely cautious with it.
