- Han Ni fell for a love scam or pig butchering scam - a mash-up of romance and investment schemes run by Asia-based online scam syndicates. (Are you the victim of a scam or know someone who is? Email us with your story: cnainsider@mediacorp.com.sg)
She reveals how scammers first developed an emotional intimacy by showing concern for her over weeks. They then brainwashed her into investing in a fake platform despite her doubts. They also told her not to tell her loved ones about the platform when instructed to borrow money from them.
“It’s not because I’m too dumb, it’s just because (the scammers) are too good,” said Han Ni.
Scammers often work in teams of four or five just to target one victim. They develop psychologically manipulative conversation scripts tailored to each victim through detailed analysis of the victim’s chat behaviour and social media. By sharing her story, Han Ni hopes to expose their tactics to prevent others from falling for them.

Scam alert
Courage is one time, impression is a life time. She just set her first impression in stone in that colleagues and friends would've known about her past and mistakes as long as this video exist
If are seeing this it probably means someone took advantage of you when you were vulnerable, don't blame yourself , it happens to most people including myself , it was the lowest point of my life and l want to say I'm grateful for CYBERLOGICS_ for a job well done, can't thank you enough for bringing me back to life, I don't know what I would have done without you
Yeah right 😅
Dumb
well, they are good because they focused on the dumb ones 😂
I value the information you dropped on us. As somebody inquisitive about recuperation, I like that you show devices you use to examine an organization prior to coming to a choice. It's now a hard choice to make and game to play, and with somebody showing the world procedures to safeguard themselves, this information is important.
Gratitude for getting some margin to impart this to the RUclips world. We love you
*ApexBureauService*
You can Clearly tell that Strong widget is tired of playing nice guy.
You can see the Anger and frustration towards these scumbags in his eyes. *STRONG WIDGET* I support you 100%. You are doing AWESOME work. Never give up.
This is the kind of recovery agent that should get a tv show. National Platform to show the scammers their days are numbered.
Thank you for what you do…
Who is Strong widget?
When someone you meet on an app asks you to start putting $$ (whatever the amount) into some investment platform, that should start ringing all sorts of alarm bells. And if they ask for more than 1k, that's confirmation of a scam.
Most of the People who get scammed, deserves to get scammed.
Because it's because of Greed, that they get scammed.
Your 1k is silly. Scammers can do it for free. Bait you into a fake platform to steal your credentials. Where is your definition of 1k. Dont be silly
@@BlitzB33scammers scam th4 desperate and lazy
Sorry, but this is bad advice. Real advice is don't give your TIME to a stranger. Time chatting is how they plant addiction- this romance/money fantasy gives huge endorphin hits. An addict will do ANYTHING for supply.
Takes a lot of courage to share such an inglorious experience and this brave woman did so without hiding her identity too.
Thank you Han Ni for voicing out. Hopefully your story will prevent more people from falling prey to such scams!
@@simulationl279 But it takes no copium and courage to just type anything in a Keyboard Warfare.
Yes exposing these scams and their tactics is the best way to prevent it from happening.
I also saw on Tiktok that there are sg companies drafting contracts that required payback of 1 month upon resignation. Hope this can be expose to the public to be aware...
@@Tigerzbeer That only work in short term. Because new tactics would definitely appear when old tricks get stale.
If the root cause and fundamental conditions for such scam to thrive is not remove you are not solving the problem effectively. The root cause comes from a State sponsored education system that effectively support and nurture such activities.
@@madhatterwonderland4834 Yes agreed that it is best to solve from the root cause of the issue.
Another way is to set law/fine to deter such acts. Sg is always capable in this area 😛
No doubt Ms Han Ni is courageous enough to sound the bell. I guess, the best words for preventing love and money scams, are still "Don't be gullible, Never be greedy". When you get scammed, a big part is always due to GREED.
E. G. You go to a supermarket to buy something packed luxuriously and stated as a panacea to a problem of any sort, you buy it on impulse and get home to find out you got scammed. There was no talking and personal coaxing involved. So, the fault is still in the temptation to buy. Because the victim wanted the "goodness" advertised on the packaging, being gillible enough to trust 'what is inside mesures up to what was described outside'. Scams are all about packaging and presentation.
Fancyresolved outstanding job, l'm so glad you're out, they're battling these vile con artists. We must take every precaution to protect the general people and the elderly from these vile con artists!!! Bravo to you! You ought to be awarded the noble prize for protecting us, big ups
just remember... when the conversation gets to money... that should ring bells and wave the red flag 🚩
Even earlier, before letting anyone manipulate you emotionally. That's tough because it's difficult to resist psychomanipulation. Learn 'Narcissistic Red Flags', look up Prof. Sam Vaknin (self aware narcissist), Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter, Michelle Lee Nieves, etc. Narcissists have no empathy, manipulate, gaslight, lie constantly, often have charisma, sadistic tendencies, etc. For normal person it's hard to believe someone can be so cruel, cunning, pretend so well to be nice, that 'love bombing' is fake, 'mirroring' is just a ruse.
The easiest way to escape is to block the guy when he start asking you to “invest” as simple as that. And be emotionally strong 💪🏻
I blocked 7 in one year. Too many out there. A lot of different ways to try to get you interested. They start texting me in Chinese because I have a Chinese name. Then say we meet at an so and so party. I feel bad for these woman who are lonely and think they can trust people on the internet when it comes to money. I grew up poor, so I never trust others with my money. If it sounds too good to be true, it is not true. Remember that!
Exactly. The min someone mentioned investment, money, nope nope nope.
Block them after the first trial investment, you'll get some small money for coffee and drive thru
Mad respect for saying yes bro. sometimes opportunities present themself and you Gotta take them. i am kind of a *Strongwidget* fan, but this recovery was a great message. you both already won For participating!
The fact the *Strongwidget* was facing adventures to help the people was so kind. Mad respect to you man.
Appreciate all you do to help others. You are setting a great example for the community Strongwidget.
One of the lessons learned is - ask to borrow money from the scammers! Never dish money out.
Yes when he says only $100 you can trust me. Then say, ok, send me $90 you can trust me. 😂
$10 I also don't trust lol
Sorry this is wrong. Best advice is to refrain from time chatting/getting addicted to the criminal
"I am not a love scammer". Anyone who even say this is definitely a scammer!!!
This man really hit the ground running and hasn't stopped yet. He gives us more understanding of him without interviews and negative antics he just shows us who he is through the Recovery. True living legend.
We salute you.
Incredible recovery. The execution, creativity, and goodness that came from it were inspiring on a number of levels. Cheers *Apexbureauservice* on the internet & looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Word it this way “it’s not that you’re stupid it’s just that they’re too cunning”. There is nothing “good” about them.
yeah she is correct, brave for her to story with the risk of people laughing at her and calling her stupid
People can laugh, but it also can happened to them or anybody
But she is still dumb though
@@heruchandra9036 Not realistically though. Some people like me have professional qualifications in investing and only invest through MAS regulated brokers. Can we in theory be scammed in the same way? In theory, yes, but realistically not
@@John_Smith_86 You would be surprised by how many of the victims are highly educated or intelligent. These scammers prey on people's most basic need, affection and love. You can be very smart or highly educated but you wouldn't be able to escape that basic need. And people will do alot of things to be loved.
@@John_Smith_86 Easy to talk big behind a keyboard. Ng Yu Zhi managed to con a bunch of high end professionals no? Some of whom were investment professionals, others were senior management in GLCs. Maybe you won't fall for an unsophisticated tactic like in the video. But scammers would always try to target their marks at their level. It helps to go thru life with a little bit of humility. Hubris is often the biggest weakness.
if someone who you've never met in person other than staying in contact over text messages for few conversations says "Honestly, I feel that I'm worth $100 of trust", that already should've been a red flag lol.
Agreed but sometimes people are too naive and too trusting
Cash advance scams usually involve some form of emotional intimacy combined with greed.
They are in love they are blind by emotion not thinking about the situation.
They why you need someone to validate the person for you.
In person you can get validation form your friends or relatives or co worker to know who the person is. In other words you can see the person in real life.
With a text message is kind difficult to really know who are you talking with.
The profile picture can be fake.
If a person you never met ask you for something then is likely a scam.
Even after meeting in person if keep pushing to invest still feel wrong
I was scammed once by someone from social app whom i met twice. They usually will play the emotional game and intimacy to gain trust.
Amazing job *fancyresolved* I'm so glad you're actively combatting these scammers. We should put forth every effort to protect the elderly and the wider community from these detestable scammers You're a real hero, my brother!
In any online relationship, if the other person persuades you to spend money, then it's VERY suspicious.
If the investment sounds too good, then it's even more suspicious.
I still think… the failure to admit oneself's gullibility and greed, would be the greatest hurdle to resist a future scam. Scams are always executed and plotted according to the average intelligence of the mass public, and to own up means to get the 'lesson' ingrained into one's own wisdom and preparedness.
not greed. but desperation. these women are loney, they want love.
You are right on ! I had a scammer pressure me into bitcoin, If I were still working , then I probably would have fell for my own greed, but since I have to watch my spending wisely, I thought to myself, Do I really need the money that bad , and maybe risk what I have to a would be scammer. Let me tell you though, this asian lady was very beautiful and very convincing, Ive never dealt with a more clever person before. In the end she got mad and the insults came out and then she called me a coward. I told her shes mad, because I didnt let her con me, that I out smarter her and then I blocked her.
Brave to share the story. At the end of the day, she's opening herself to criticism just to help others and that is incredibly admirable.
She put her self in that herself .
It saddens that the comments are saying the girl is brave and encouraging victims to believe scammers are on the upper ups.
The honest blunt is really silly and foolish to get tricked into this.
Scammers works in all avenues. Not just dating apps.
As long as anything involves transactions, monetary exchange and benefits, including getting banking credentials, its outright redflag. Its not the scammers is smart. Is you ownself scam yourself. That is why its called the butchering scam for stupid people.
It’s not about being dumb. I know a girl who is genius in study got romance scammed. When you are in love your brain doesn’t work like you usually are, that’s why you should never be too naive and most importantly, never be desperate.
Not only dating apps might have scammers, even job hunting and applying for new jobs might have scammers taking your money too!
Huge respect to her courage and transparency. Please be careful out there. 🙏

Thank you Ms Han Ni for your generosity and bravery in sharing your experience for the sake of others.
Thanks for sharing. I had people around me who fell into such scams too. Actually seeing the conversations really help people to understand the sophisticated emotional manipulation. It is an elaborate scam that anyone could fall for. Most people like her would wake up after a while, but that would be after a few huge $ transfers...

Sadly more and people fall prey to scams ..even my own family member got scammed of more than $100,000! 😮
@@Sunburstbear OMG
Thank you Han Ni for stepping forward to share your story! You are v brave 👍 I agree, its not that victims (in every case) are dumb. Its just that they are too good. Scammers prey on human vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It is really not easy especially when there is a concerted effort to target the victims. Good advice especially on the part of sharing and getting more views. Tunnel vision can make one lose sight of the details.
If somebody, whether a friend or even a family, asks you to invest or buy something you are not familiar with, always research about it first as much as possible before letting go of your money.

Thank you Han Ni for sharing your story. I too fell for the same scam. Hope you can gain your life back. It's a very expensive lesson to learn.
I just lost my money this week and I am just student. Did you get your money back?
❤️thank you for being so brave in sharing. I had lost about a few thousand this year and I was feeling so stupid but I had almost lost over 10X that amount. I just got suspicious because I’m they were pushing so much. I’ve reported it but in the US they haven’t done anything and the money is just gone.
I just got scammed this week. Did you recover your money?

@Fritz Volz We're insulting you and you are typing here HHAHA
She is stupid fool.serves her right, ha ha 😅
Scammers are like this. Once you reject their "investment opportunities", they either turn nasty (angry that they could not cheat you) or guilt-trip you to pressure you to give in and invest with them.
Yup I know that. But some of them they will not care and still talk to you. After one week they will tell you about it again but they will tell you. Oh! I win from it and they are so happy and they will not tell you to invest. After a month they will tell you the same thing. And they keep teeling you that every month until you tell them oh! That's interesting I want to join by yourself. Imagine they talk you for 6 month or even a year. Everyday and manipulate you until you fall. Unfortunately that's what happend to me this week. And I lost my money. And I think I can't recover it.
@@oliverarrow8431, yes you probably won't get your money back. Look at it as paying for a lesson in life. At least you have your health and your mind is still in tact. Money can eventually be make back. Even if you can't, it's ok. Nothing can be done (apart from still filling with police) and move on.

Don't send anyone money unless you know what you're giving, what you're getting, and what the conditions are. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, you know.
As a person who got scammed, they really play with your emotions and just leave like that. I think I'm glad I only got scammed a low 4 digit amount but that is still alot considering I'm a student
Same, dating apps are risky. A few guys tried to scam me. Luckily, I’m pretty aware.
Same here, I’m dealing with the stress and depression from the aftermath.
There is a new style of scamming. They will tell you to invest to open an online store. I did it once but i noticed something was weird. I tried to withdraw money as much as i can. I was able to withdraw all the amount of money I topped up. After 2 months the link crashed. But i know that not many people were lucky as me. But it ruined my trust in others 😑
Chill and stop all these apps. Go out on social activities like hiking or sports to get to know other people. Not worth it to be suffering and suffocating your emotions and energy on these scammers.
I just lost my money this week and I am just student too.
Lesson learned. We should all learn from this. Thank you for sharing your experience.
She could’ve been smarter but I applaud her guts and reason for doing this video. Please, can everyone STOP transferring money to strangers you don’t know? Stop encouraging the scammers to continue scamming. Thanks
After years of manipulation, they aren't strangers.
Thank you for sharing. You have helped so many people aware and be more alert. The tips are very useful.
Absolutely...I remember when I was a victim too
Thanks Han Ni for sharing your story to create more awareness! It takes a lotsa courage to share such harrowing experience, I wish you well and pls take care.
Thanks CNA for interview clip as such! 💪🏻
When someone you hardly know dares to ask you for money, dare to ask them back for money...see how fast they run away!
Yes, give them a sob story...my grandma sick in hospital, my grandpa had an accident and now i need $100,000 hospitalization fees....then every week ask for more, need to do this test, that test, add bionic legs for grandpa etc.

it a big lesson thou...😢😢
My mother is in a love scam 3 years ago and it severes the family ties. We are no longer close and until today, she still asks money from me as she is still into something and she never seems to wake up from her scam. I wish she will wake up from it the way you do. Thank you for your bravery and for sharing your experiences.
Hope your mum will realise her mistake and stop getting scammed. I feel bad for you. You must Jia you and may your life get better for the kindness u gave your mum and family.
@@celestialstar124 I hope she wakes up too but I also think she refuses to as it's too painful to wakeup from it.
Maybe the family should shower her with love and care so that she does not need to seek those needs from strangers.
@@Buttercookies0 there are people who cannot understand the love from people close to them but when not so close friends show them some concerns like asking how are you can make them feel warmth.
From bazi chart we can easily spot this type of personality. Those "self punishment" people type.
@@Buttercookies0 I think is unfair to make the assumption that my mom did not receive sufficient love from family members. She receives plenty of them but all were not appreciated. She sees all kindness and cares offered to her as gestures with bad motives and intentions. Eventually, people drifts away from her as the relationship were not mutual. Due to the nature of her characters, is difficult for her to find genuine love as everyone eventually leaves her, so she looks for romantic relationships from all the wrong places. As a daughter, I'm in no place to comment on her choices of men and her behaviour. Each time when I try to talk to her sincerely, it always ended up in her condemning me saying I'm being judgemental towards her. I think for me to still provide for her after all the toxicity I've received from her is already an action of love. I could actually just cut all ties completely and careless of the consequences of her actions.
lesson: never send money to someone u never met
She is extremely brave and candid about her whole experience. And yes she is also right, not that the victims are dumb, the scammers are too good in manipulation.
It saddens that the comments are saying the girl is brave and encouraging victims to believe scammers are on the upper ups.

I empathize her situation because I also wiped out my savings in the past due to being persuaded to buy beauty products - I was being insecure thus I was spiraling into shopping therapy
Yet this is an experience where I learnt how to prevent myself from overspending as well as how to prevent myself from being persuaded easily
Beauty products? How much were you persuaded to purchase?
😂 it’s too embarrassing a figure to say
Haha so funny 😅
That one is MLM....kinda legit scam. Already upfront asked you stock up tens of thousands worth of junks...i meant "goods". At least you still have your beauty products to use....lol.
@@ZxSpectrumplus
I used all of the products and currently I am using products bought from skin specialist
Now that I think about it. The dating app/site has a responsibility to require its members to complete social engineering training. It might be intuitive for some people to be able to spot a scam, but I think a lot of people does not have the ability to spot red flags for possible scams.
Agree!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry that you got scammed. I applaud you for being so brave to tell your story so that people would be aware of these evil people out there; heartless! Wish you all the best and move on!❤
I was once a scam victim.
What made me vulnerable from the scam was the fact that I was too soft and kind.
@ryland_dubose I already did... But no recovery I guess...
Don't expect a random "handsome" and "rich" guy who approach you out of nowhere to be real.
It's not that you're dumb. It's that love makes people less in control of their intelligence.
That’s not love.
so you saying love make people stupid? you can't be smart while being in love? how do you love someone you have never met in life? Perhaps she's not even smart enough to figure out what a real love is. Perhaps there isn't a definite description but it doesn't come close to not knowing the person or seen the person in life for less than 1 second.
@Seeyou Seemee yes, love is not a sin, lust is
Thank you for sharing… despite facing the aftermath, you have the bravery and courage to step out to share with others. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for your courage to share your story so that all of us can learn and put the scammers to shame. Hate them!
Thank you Han Ni for sharing your story and raising awareness! It's so easy for people to judge and think they would never fall for something like this, but the psychology is so powerful!
You are very brave to step forward and talk so openly about your experience. I can see in your heart that you want to help and prevent others from getting scammed too. Some people (actually many people) may say that this is "dumb" and this scam is so obvious, but the truth is that we are all different. Some people are more logical and some are more emotional, and the world need both types of people. So it is not your fault that your got scammed.. you just got different strengths and struggles, like all of us. We all make mistakes at different points in our life and we learn from it.
Thank you for sharing and being open about it. Like you said... even if you help just one person, it is already worth it. Wishing you all the best, brave and kind soul.
You are a brave person to open up about it all...
plain stupidity...when an "online" someone starts talking about money, its a big red flag.... NEVER fall for this bs...ever
Beware of scammers. Just don't entertain them. Cut off the line. Don't talk.
Actually, i like to entertain scammers. I scold them kaw kaw before i hang up. Got one scam call to share. It's the "I'm your long lost Buddy" scam call. Scammer will pretend to be your friend and ask you to guess who he is...then you say don't know and he will persist to ask you guess....when you hit some name...Ah Beng, Ah Kaw whatever, he will say, "Yes! I am Ah Beng". He will claimed he has changed phone no. After the first call, i felt something is off, then i call Ah Beng on the number i know. Ah Beng said he didn't call me nor change phone. The next day, the scammer follow up call again. This time i told him..."OOOi Ah Beng! You still owe me $1 million! You borrow money and lost at Genting Highland! Where's my money???". He hung up. 🤣🤣🤣
you are brave to share your story to create awareness. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing! It takes a lot of courage to do so. Thanks again!

loosing around 5k to different scams and then learning lessons and seeing people loosing 30,40, 70K make me relief that I was never that rich enough to loose this bigger amounts to scammers
I really can't figure all of this out, bitcoin is quite confusing, well the BS is. I was so impatient to carry out necessary research but i really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz.
Unfortunately for me, I invested $542,000
GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to $2.5m GBP within a couple of weeks. But i didn't realize i was dealing with a scam company, until i tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because i could not afford to let it go. So i tried all possible means to make sure i recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency, funds with the help of *Spycyphix* . So i file a report and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds within two weeks. I will recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out to *Spycyphix*
I was a victim, recently lost a huge sum, I took loans from family and friends.. thanks to Fancyresolved , who got me back on my feet
They’re on instagram
Scammer uses the same old tactic...they reach out to your heart and gain your trust before they reach out to your money in your account. She is not dumb and scammers are not smart either.
Scam works well when these factors are present: greed, ignorance of financial market, naive, and lacking of duly diligence.
When something is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
Thanks for sharing, youre saving many others from falling from the same tactics.
She’s so correct because I fell for an online ranching called river ranch, I lost 100k
It's not that the scammers are too good, you're just too lonely and desperate to fall for their stupid schemes.
💯
You shared as if you had a firsthand experience.
Thank you to this lady for telling her story. She may save others from falling into the same trap. As for scammers, we need to serve them vigilante justice.
Tks Han Ni. Its never shameful to be scammed. Those who should feel shameful should be the scammers.
Your parents are not wrong when they say '' Don't talk to strangers ''
The surest sign of a scam is when they start asking you for money, no matter how small, and no matter how long you have been communicating with each other. Unfortunately, it is those who are naive, trusting or lonely that fall for these scums of the internet.
I am also a victim of a scam😢and I am just a student losing 1k hurts a lot.I was already suffering from depression and it got worse now .Totally Agreed on what u just said Naive and lonely that's what I was..Wanted to invest and get rich but felt into the trapped😢💔
Thank you for sharing, Miss Han Ni, I agree that it take a lot of courage to share the experience. Understand it is painful to go through the money lost and most of all emotionally.
Thanks for shareing your story. I have forwarded this to my friends and family to create awareness. Noone deserves to get scammed. We need tougher laws to deal with scammers and money mules.
It's always wrong to call people who fall for scams stupid. It can lead to underestimating the threat. And like you said, there is one scammer out there that specifically targets you and you can fall for it. Even if you are "smart enough".
Thank you for sharing your experience! Keep safe
They are stupid and have to learn the hard way
You've been through such an ordeal. Thank you so much for telling your story. I know that mustn't have been easy to do. It's a shame that we always have to be on guard online, but that is the case. Once people I chat with ask for money, then the conversation is over.
Hearing these people's voices over the phone so thrilled to be evil, almost giddy sounding, is utterly disgusting. Thank you 𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗬𝗦𝗧 all you and your team does to shut them scammers down.
After five days from first contact, before a scheduled 2 weeks meet-up, even if it was a friend that I haven't met in a long time, I will immediately feel absolutely disgusted that they are asking me for money. I probably didn't need to watch the rest of the video to avoid this. The few remaining parts of what the 'love interest' asks of her should be HUGE HUGE red flags because none of it are things that she has experience and/or knowledge of so it's again weird how she is so easily duped by the idea of love. Kudos to her for showing face & sharing so openly because alot people seem to think they are very prudent but they should know that they are as guilible as this lady here.
Total agree with you. Asking for second lot of money is a red flag. After 10 of thousands I would’ve reported to police. Typical tactics for scammers
Not only just normal daily workers even lawyer, police, doctor, business owner and etc got scam by them before so initially we just got to be more alert and share and ask opinion from our family and friends about this before it's too late
YOU ARE BRAVE AND BE STRONG. TOO MANY SCAMS NOWSDAY.
I’m a Malaysian and I just got scammed too and lost around RM30k. My story is very similar to yours just that it’s not a love scam. It’s a direct part time online job scheme. I was told to pay amounts of money so that I can get back my initial money that I put in. I wish I have seen this video sooner…
@Scarlett Johansson ain’t fallin for it no more it’s a scam on top of another scam
@Scarlett Johansson that dude literally asked to pay another 3000 to get back my money
This is a really heart touching story, this scammers should be locked up for hurting innocent souls. I was a victim of a crypto scam I lost $40,000 for 3 month I was losing my mind until I met Hacksting within hours he recovered everything through Instagram chat and I swore not to be a fool again.
Most of this guy's here are not legit, they are spoiling the image of the real licenced hackers
Yes, my story is similar to yours too. Not love scam, but online job scam. My amount is RM80k. Even borrowed money from loan sharks because was told it was time sensitive. I know it is ridiculous and stupid, but at the moment that it happened, you cannot really think straight because of the pressure.
The lady in the video is right, if only we talked it out to others while we were in it, it could have helped us to think differently. She is also right, it is not because we are dumb, it is because they are too good..
I never thought I would have been a victim, but here I am and even more in debt. Now I am trying to learn from this expensive lesson and get myself and my family safe from the loan sharks.
Dont trust any help from those so call recovery agent or hacker , they suck yr wallet as well
Thank you for sharing this, I recently got scammed also and it would have been prevented if I shared more details to my family and friends earlier regarding the investment. I wish you more and more blessings in the years to come, let us all fight these scammers and make this world a safer place for everyone
