How to recognize a scam.
1- promises of gains, often quite significant and over relatively short periods.
2- when you are asked to come and talk about it on encrypted messaging such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and even Facebook, tell yourself that the person does not want you to know their identity.
3- don’t dream! No one is going to work for you and make your 1000 $ or your 0.0034 btc grow without there being 'an eel in the rock'.
I say this because a good friend got scammed out of around 6000 $ which he transmitted via binance into btc. He followed a Facebook ad which brought him into contact with scammers who promised him quick and substantial gains...
The scammers sent him a fake USD token that had no value to make him believe he was making profits.
It was when he wanted to recover his winnings that he realized that it was a scam, the scammers were asking him to pay a commission so that he could receive his money.
Incidentally, these types of scammers do not hesitate to use recognized apps; binance, etoro, exodus wallet.
They go so far as to create fake applications and websites, as well as worthless tokens.
If you've been fooled, it's too late. All that remains to do is secure your codes by changing them and report the scam by any means at your disposal.
Pay attention, find out, ask for records, demand receipts, do research for yourself.
And above all, take care of yourself.
