this is, how easy it is to scam people

[DapanasFruit]

Just hours ago someone also contacted me in my Instagram account with the same technique...asking some questions on crypto as if an innocent or a novice one that needs some guidance. However, I know for sure that anyone who is contacting me via DM in Instagram is just selling scams. Don't give these people the chance to enthralled you and get your trust...somehow they know how to take advantage of the connection to their own advantage. I am sure these people are well-trained to victimize people...unfortunate for them am not anymore a newbie with scams as I had been victimized many times before and I already paid my dues.

Why many people can be fooled by Bitcoin because they only know its value and want to benefit from Bitcoin but they do not want to find out personally how to use Bitcoin, so when they ask strangers then some of them will be directed to the wrong place so that losses will be felt, then we need our own research before finding out to others because knowledge from others will not be fully passed down for us, So we need our own analysis to develop every piece of information available, we must know that not everyone will be completely honest with us even if it is our close friend.

Based on the conversations it seems someone who ask you about Bitcoin is the scammer since she is ask you to follow the account which offer to make money via trading, but since you're aware with this scam, she doesn't want to continue the conversations.

She might only act dumb, who knows if she's a scammer and someone who control the self pro claimed Bitcoin trader's account.

According to OP from the story he asked if she has an exchange on her phone but she claimed not to know the meaning of exchange until OP mentioned binance and she remembered to have one on her phone, this made me understand she is just a scammer,  how would one download a binance and know nothing about it, then what is the essence having it on the phone?.

One needs to be very careful with the people they come across online, scammers have different strategies in scamming people. The best way of avoiding being scammeed is to see every strange person that come into the dm as a scammer or suspected scammer.  Because someone who is real can't pm anyone strange for any discussion concerning investment.  Scammers always go after people DM.

his world is full of cruel people and no one knows that a person in front of you is telling a lie or truth, no one can trust anyone. Do you know that the lady who ask you about bitcoin is telling a lie or truth? May be she is asking this but in reality she knows each and everything about it.

Perhaps she is asking for help because ladies are not so brilliant to get the point. If someone is asking for help then guiding is not bad thing because a person can scam you only when you share your keys with him.

For online jobs education is not necessary but for government job education is necessary because without certifications you cannot proves that you are able to do this job. In our country most of jobs are based on degree that how much education you have obtained.

For investment you don't have to show your education but investment cannot be sure for all the time may be sometime investment become risky for you. I will just say that first complete your education then think about other activities because education is necessary and you can use your education every time when you need it.

i uploaded an awesome bitcoin profile picture on instagram, 3 days ago,
but today a lady contacted me by Dm "hi" - "you know about bitcoin?" - "I am new to bitcoin", "can you guide me to make money from it "
she don't want to learn anything just wanted to make money out of bitcoin, her knowledge about bitcoin is very very less, she only knew the name "bitcoin"
she was talking like "bitcoin=money"
I said i can guide you to learn about bitcoin,
i said bitcoin is like digital money, you can buy it at a specific price and sell it at higher price when price will rise , this is how the money made from it .
i said this because she only wanted to make money, i don't talked about much stuff.
she said "i am following a bitcoin expert" , just a instagram account holder with some trading charts  posted ,
i said ,you have an exchange account
she said 'what is meant by exchange",
i said exchange where you can buy cryptocurrency, exchanges like binance,kucoin, etc.
she said "oh, i am with binance "
she does not know anything about binance and basic terms just made an account following her mentor.
she is so dumb to scam her.

i sometime think why people do this type of dumb mistakes , now i knew there knowledge about technology ,

ignore my terrible english

This isn't new in crypto trading, most of their victims are newbie's and those who have low knowledge about it.
To be honest I also received some tempting message below asking for help to withdraw their money on a certain trading site, and when I do some background check on the site and the wallet information that has been sent by those scammer I found out that it is just a way to scam.
They showed that on the trading site they have a huge balance and you just need to deposit a certain amount to withdraw it.

I preferred going for skill other than acquiring education, however they're both good for a citizen because academically, he's well stable and skillfully, he's good with making something incredible with his or her hands. There's enough evidence to backup investments in the market that they need crucial research before investigation. We are urged to know above the dangers of volatile investments in the market, because before the blink of an eye, everything we worked so hard for would be gone in a matter of seconds. Investments is all a anticipating with a solid project, other than dormant one that will drained our accounts.

This is too weird.  There is a girl who wants money from Bitcoin and she doesn't want to learn anything about Bitcoin but wants to make profit.  That's crazy.  Except he's a super rich guy who doesn't care about his money.  But I don't think so.  Maybe he is a newbie who wants to have immediate success to make money with Bitcoin.  But that's too out of touch with real life.  I think it's like a story in the imagination because there are people like that who do things like that.  Do you also think that this is just a story?

So stay careful, and don't assume you're smarter than "beginners".

The people that scam can be so smart that they make you feel smart and make themselves look like the ones that need your help. They play the lesser role because of how unsuspecting it can be. You will of course trust someone and be more open to a discussion with someone who tells you they want to learn about bitcoins, than someone who tells you that they want to teach you how to invest in bitcoins online. Be careful of the people you give your time to online, be careful of the conversation you have with strangers online and even some of your friends.

Yes I also thought that it really looks very strange the woman who messaged OP, I think the woman who messaged OP via Instagram is a scammer and not really a woman who doesn't know anything and so suddenly asks to be taught about Bitcoin to the OP after OP uploaded the Bitcoin image.

It's true that a scammer has a thousand endless ways to deceive us. But in fact, sometimes we can immediately realize that the main pattern of what scammers are doing is definitely things that are striking, seem sudden and seem strange. Sometimes the scammers they will speak like a professional and offer help with seemingly perfect benefits and sometimes they even pose as ignorant and need help like the OP experienced.
If someone we don't know suddenly sends us an unclear message via any social media, we should just ignore it.

The fact that they could not find how to use it in a legit way is beyond recovery. If you are a newbie, and being a newbie in this age is amazing, then you have all the information you want online. You do not have to ask anyone, you could go to google and search for the best ways and you will find the best ways to do it without getting scammed.

But, some people still end up asking others instead of searching for it themselves and that is why they end up getting scammed. This is due to laziness, people who are lazy to do their own work and want everything to be handed to them is the cause for the biggest scams, they don't want to work for it, they want to get it right away.

I totally understand and respect your ethics and values, but in pure sanity and consciousness, I would like to let you know that this a new way that these scammers have found to scam new users and take advantage of their naivety where they start thinking that they are actually big and experienced while the person asking from the front is just a dumb user.

But mostly, those users who are acting dumb and trying to convince you that they no nothing and also ask you to follow a certain person or join a group that they joined and learned and earned a lot.
