In sports betting setting, there are various signals scam from telegram groups and other messaging platforms. Victims think that it's easy to bet for their sports because all they have to do is join and follow whoever is giving the picks to what they should bet for. I believe that many of these scams are existing and a lot of victims never talk about it because at first, these scammers are giving free trials until it expires and then asks for VIP membership afterward if the victims are satisfied. And that's where the start of the scam happens.
Yes, i have actually been a victim of those telegram groups as well, at some point i got to realise that there is nothing too serious going on, i didnt even make profits, i just paid for nothing.
But at some point i got to understand that i took it too serious to the extent of paying for a vip signal group. and its as a result of desperation at that point i was in need of money but i went to the wrong source.
All these scams are as a result of desperation, but gambling is a 100% a wrong place to look for money, it is better you find something else more guaranteeing to get money
I hope that you didn't lose a lot of money from that scam. And that payment you've given them was a lesson that you'll bring forever. And well said about thinking that gambling is a source to make a living because it will mostly put a person into desperation just like what happened to you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yes, the scam doesn't just happen in a day, it lure them in gradually and when the victim falls too deep and trust them so much, then they will begin to do the actual plans which they will start with fake testimonials that will make the victims to believe the more, so that anytime they request money, the victim will pay without asking much questions and after they have gotten enough, they disappear without trace and that's when some victims will realized they have been scammed.
These scammers know how to play with the victims emotion and that's why there's the rapport that they're building, until they have been comfortable to each, the scammer and the victims. It all lies from being greedy and thinking easy money would come out from these paid signals for sportsbetting.
