Tell your friend to use escrow when he trades.

I don't think it works thru social platform aside from here (bitcointalk.org), scammers are really big on social medias especially on Facebook and Twitter but I didn't know that they also exist on Instagram, now we have another reason to be more secured.

Almost all scammers I came accross was on BTT, on Telegram and on Discord.

Luckily they are transparent and scam is obvious in most cases.

Don't buy and sell your coins from the exchange if you aren't aware of the particular platform. Don't invest your coins on a single platform so that you will not face any lose. If you are believing in any social media advertisement then investigate about it and send your coins. So that you won't be scammed by anyone.

I believe your friends might be lost their bitcoins with the scammer in social media and lost funds on trading site. It is usual for every people when they have a thought to invest and make money out of it.
I use to invest on bitcoin as well few of the top altcoins which i believe it can grow well in the marketplace.
Your friends might not be used the clever while they are involved in trading.

His friends lacks the knowledge and therefore jump into trading whilst not learning about the partnership he is engaging in. This is common, since Bitcoin now is known for being one of the reason people get instant profits overnight. People that have slow minds still wants to use some apps leading them to be defrauded, they should just stop than to lose their money.

Imagine those with the same modus posted here on the forum are doubted as scam. What more with social media and not trusted sites? I guess your friend is still a newbie without knowing where to buy or sell. As a friends, you should teach him the right thing after telling that. We cant help those new bloods experementing in their crypto journey. Lead them if possible.

The fact that these and similar schemes are all operating in broad daylight in almost all social media platforms means that there are still many who can fall victims with their enticements and promises of greater rewards...the appeal to our basic desire to gain more is very effective for unsuspecting victims. Well, I had been a victim too so I paid my dues and was baptized with fire, so to speak. The thing is that there are thousands who are entering the world of cryptocurrency and related fields every day and they can be the targeted market by many scammers and hackers just pretending to be angels of light when in fact they are bringing destruction. Newbies should not be trusting anyone online because people we meet here are actually strangers and anonymous and they are usually promising the whole heavens and the stars just for us to be the prey for their traps.

Its ok to trade as long as you have the assurance but if you don't know the person you're dealing with then you must be careful, luckily your friend deals only for a small amount, learn from this mistake and don't trade again to anyone easily.

it turns out that in various social media including Instagram there are people who try to make money by cheating, and in my opinion for the security of money we need to be careful for anyone to make transactions whether individuals or companies like exchangers, there is no place 100% safe to make transactions, but we must be smart and carefull to choose who we make transactions, guarantees in conducting transactions are also needed because this is one of the risks of holding a cryptocurrency.

Yeah there's a lot of scamming method to SCAM someone to steal their bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. so we have to be careful when surfing the internet and always maintain our private key properly if it can be put on a flashdisk because if on a PC it will be very vulnerable because hackers can see the contents of our PC

Just don't trust other people with your money.

And don't trust completely a stranger.

It's your obligation to be more careful when dealing with your assets, always remember that it's your hard earned money that involves here, trusting strangers are not applicable, always remember the very basic as bitcoin is non reversable if you lose it then there's no way that you can recover it back.

Not unless the wallet that you send it will be very generous to send it back, logically needs to get use to it keep your investment safe as always.

Yes, as just like what I've said and suggested.

It's impossible that there are scammers that generous enough to return the amount that they have stolen unless they are forced to do by the gov't.

I think your friend lost bitcoins with people claiming they are an account manager and can managed to grow the bitcoins but the truth is they will just stole your bitcoins and this is rampant on social media especially on Facebook. Your friend has learned his lesson not to trust anyone, he can learn it on his own.

It baffles me when I hear or read news like this. I'm quite sure most of the times newbies get introduced to the blockchain or cryptocurrency through someone who is quite strong and understand how things work here. So how do they become preys to people like this? Why not reach out to the person who brought you into the system or do your own research. Yes, I know sometimes when we do our own researches we still need some clarifications so JUST ASK QUESTIONS!!!. If you do not trust anyone or a particular exchange to trade, look out for the ones popularly known or used that used an escrow system and avoid being victims of cases like this.
Well, we always learn from our mistakes.

I would advice to sell or buy your bitcoin from exchanges. There are good exchanges out there

you think exchanges don't scam their users? they do. and there are no "good" exchanges out there. there are only worse exchanges and bad exchanges that we choose bad ones because we have no other choice. otherwise they are not trusted either.
of course it is not as bad as finding random shady dudes on the internet but you shouldn't also be blind to their risks.

Yeah, even if they offer good services that is still a suspicious help coming from the unknown person. If you don't want to lose your money then put it on a good wallet like hard wallet, but if you do believe on any advertisement like this then expect to lose your bitcoin and money which is very common nowadays.

Newbies should remember that they shouldn't entrust their hard earned money to anyone.

Whether they say they are an expert in trading or what, an expert will never ask your money unless they want you to avail their product that you can use. It's not them that will trade for you.

I am also concerned about your friends, scams often occur in online transactions. Moreover, I saw from the screenshots you gave, the transactions in the Nigerian currency where this country is the most fraudulent country in the world. https://www.wonderslist.com/countries-highest-number-scammers/

I hope you can advise your friends, to transact on trusted platforms such as binance, coinbase, etc. Because scammers are now very clever in fooling their victims.

Not only with Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, dealing with things that offers unrealistic return or just simply too good to be true are a clear sign of a scam.

Transacting money online is alright for as long as you know what you are doing and at least you are using a platform that can mediate your trade with other people but if you are transacting straight from the people who offers these kinds of things then you are all on your own.

I would recommend to use escrow service when dealing with strangers.

Otherwise I handle BTC like my valuables.

sorry for the loss but once you sent the coins from your wallet there is nothing you can do to stop it. seems like there is nothing we can do now as the scammer already got his money but you can be careful on these type of matters which involves money. this is internet and you can not trust anyone in it all you can do is share your knowledge and learn something new from it every day.
