The third link to an image of the conversation is the same as the first one. There’s either one more image than there should be, or the third link points to the wrong image.

Who said the following ?

Let me send you her iG so that you see if if she is genuine because she said she help people win after investing then she takes 10 percent

The while text bubbles seems to be her and the grey yours, but the screen capture indicates that the grey corresponds to "replied to you", which would make the grey text bubbles hers.

Either way, it’s pretty clear where that is heading to …

Edit:

Ok, so the white text bubbles are hers then.

Somehow I doubt that a person with a binance account to be stupid, the process to which you need to go through in order to be able to trade at binance is with some complication that not any ordinary individual is capable of handling it. Moreover I fail to see any gullibility here.

There are quite a few scams going on through social media, ranging from signing up on fake exchanges to social engineering you into sending them your coins after luring you and registering on a valid exchange such as Binance, making the scam look legit. Anyone who contacts you through social media and promises to teach you their money-making method with excessive returns is pretty much a scam. Don't reply to any message and report their profiles; it won't stop them, but it might at least slow them down.

This is one of scammers at least track or get information on potential victims. let alone us who deliberately show our involvement in Bitcoin, they sometimes just do random things and find our accounts. And this is an old mode which may still work in some people. One way is to make the victim believe what he says, promising really interesting and extraordinary results. And of course, for people who don't understand or are inexperienced, it's really tempting and easily attracted. This is the danger in the world of cybercrimes where scammers or hackers can easily influence people to believe in them with false promises about money.

Looks like she/he doesn't know much about bitcoin or he is just acting dumb. But I don't see any point asking a stranger on Instagram about bitcoin investment or for any financial advice unless she has other intentions.

From my point of view, she thought you are a newbie and she tried to scam you. So I think you need to be more careful about your social media life.

I have a similar story.For almost a week someone has been writing to my telegram and offering to invest in some project at crazy interest and promising huge profits.I understand that this is a 100% scam but let's imagine how many people fall for this trick and how many scammers manage to make money on it.

[Munir575]

Whatever the reason, you should always exercise caution while communicating with someone online because there are numerous frauds operating that use a variety of techniques you might not even be aware of. There are still a lot of beginners who fall victim for this kind of tactics but I don’t seem to understand where the scamming is coming from the coversation. Thus, always be on the lookout and inquire from reliable sources as to whether they are legitimate or scam tactics.

they do this with no despair and they also know that many already know the tricks and ways to do it. Of the many ways of fraud, it is certain that investment offers in new projects with high interest incentives are highly sought after and are excellent.
although it must be admitted that this method of fraud is already known and many already understand. but it must be remembered that of the thousands who read and are sent scam news, of course, we hope that someone will be tempted and willing to accept what they want. of course they only target not many people who can be deceived, because there are indeed many who are literate and know how.
even though there is only one person who can be fooled a day, in terms of quality, of course they really hope to earn big, remember they don't want to stop doing tricks like that, as long as there are still lots of people can be deceived.
why at any time there are still people who can be deceived and they usually don't want to read a lot of information circulating.

people make dumb mistakes like that because well, they are dumb, no question. But that doesn't warrant you putting them on the spotlight for some weird post to gain clout in this forum. Although I do not think that is your intention really. In any case, scams don't cater to everyone, they have their specific target demographics, and would only ever work for that specific set of people. That's why us, the Nigerian Prince scam is a laughingstock, but for others, they see it as a ticket to a destiny-changing opportunity, only for the small amount of a couple thousand dollars. Scams work because there are people who are gullible. How to fix this? information. Proper information provided by the authority or whoever is really generous to spare time and effort in the case of crypto world is what we need to eradicate people's ignorance and therefore stop scammers from scamming as well.

No scammer if no one could be scammed.

It looks naturally easy to scam her, but even if you do she might not fall for it if she is smart. She is just curious and not everybody is negatively minded about things in life, you are taught by someone, and it won't be bad to share the knowledge with someone else.

[Woodie]

I don't blame her because in some circles it's marketed in this way.. You can imagine if you use any of these meta products like Instagram or Facebook you find people claiming to grow your money double or 1000 times and they have been made to believe that's how easy it is to find money when everyone knows that money has to be scarce as one of its properties.

people make dumb mistakes like that because well, they are dumb, no question.

People might seem to be making dumb moves but they could be the smart ones only trying to play dumb.

[Casdinyard]

That is how easy it is to scam people who are none the wiser with how the internet works, more so how bitcoin works for that matter. You're talking and fooling someone who literally has little to know idea about bitcoin, so it wouldn't come as a surprise that they are easily convinced. With information becoming more and more available by the day, this will no longer be the case as everyone would much rather do their own google searches/research first before jumping on a new investment venture.

Also, scams don't cater to everyone, good scams are those that know who their target demographic is. That is why the Nigerian Prince scam, laughable in execution, is still one of the most damaging scams in the US, as some may have pointed out.

no deception is good, all deception is evil. Even though they target their victims, there will still be losers when they fall into the trap.
Those who are easily conned with a sizable reward, maybe in an empty state of mind and really need money or those who really don't know how social media works and how to get easy money. Some of the people who are tricked like this even have a higher education.

[kizlod]

Lol, people are so easy to scam, sometimes I wonder how they live in this world in the first place. You can just write them an email "send me money and I'll give you twice more in 48 hours". I prefer to mock those scammers, but a lot of people actually fall for that.

Here are the pictures for you to see.

Bitcoin is a paradise for scammers in this moment, simply because many people don't know yet how it works. Best to avoid a scam is to educate yourself, but thats not just for bitcoin but also for any other scam out there.

[D ltr]

conversations like this are still continuing today, but more and more I understand the deception of this mode, I just ignore it without not continuing, sometimes they also don't understand what they are offering, there really is no work for people like this

[YUriy1991]

I find it very unfortunate to hear about people being scammed in the cryptocurrency world. While it is true that some people enter the market simply to make quick profits, it is important to remember that there are also many legitimate investors and traders out there.

Regarding the situation you describe, it is clear that the woman who contacted you was new to Bitcoin and had no knowledge of the basics of trading. However, instead of calling him "stupid," it would be helpful if he offered some guidance and education about the risks and opportunities of cryptocurrency.

One solution is to point him to a reputable source of information and encourage him to do his own research before investing money. Yes, I think it's very important to remember that everyone starts somewhere, and with the right support and information, he or she may be able to avoid scams and make smart investment decisions down the road.

[ethereumhunter]

People are quick to join something once they hear the word "guarantee" that they'll get a big return if they join someone who offers money. The trick has been around for a long time, but those who trick others modify it so well that people won't even think it's a scam.

I don't know if she really doesn't know about cryptos or just wants to know what other people think about cryptos. And I think there are still many people who really don't know what bitcoin is and how to make a profit from bitcoin. You can just continue the conversation with her while teaching her about bitcoin and I think she will be very happy if you can teach her about bitcoin for free.

[ringgo96]

Currently many people are already tempted by bitcoin because of its fantastic value, but they just want to get profits without thinking about how risky it is if holding bitcoin, not everyone who has been successful today easily to get bitcoin they have learned for so long and also often get losses, so before investing in bitcoin we need to learn first how to use because of what they have got now  There have been so many twists and turns, and learning bitcoin can also avoid fraud cases because this has often happened.
