As title said, I will prefer you to
read this thread. Here you will read a person were regret about his/her past mistake and someone else had tried to get advantage of it by attempt for second scam. I will share with you a story for quick understand that how your common sense sometimes could save your life & money from scammers. Here is story quote.
A man caught a bird, and the bird said to him, “Release me, and I will give you three valuable pieces of advice. I will give you the first when you let me go, the second when I fly up to that branch, and the third when I fly up to the top of the tree.”
The man agreed, and let the bird go. The bird said, “Do not torment yourself with excessive regret for mistakes.”
The bird then flew up to a branch and said, “Do not believe anything that goes against common sense, unless you have firsthand proof.”
And then the bird flew up to the top of the tree and said, “You fool. I have two huge jewels inside of me, and if you had killed me instead of letting me go, you would have had them.”
“Darn it!” the man said. “How can I have been so stupid? I am never going to get over this. Bird, can you at least give the third piece of advice as a consolation?”
The bird replied, “I have been hoaxing you. And now you are asking for more advice, yet you have already disregarded the first two pieces of advice I gave you. I told you not to torment yourself with excessive regret for mistakes, and I told you not to believe things that go again common sense unless there is some kind of firsthand proof. And yet, you just tormented yourself with excessive regret for letting me go, and you also believed that somehow there are two jewels inside of a tiny bird like me! So here is your third piece of advice: ‘If you are not using what you know, why are you so intent on seeking what you do not know?’”
What we learnt from the story is we shouldn't regret about or past mistakes and use our common sense. You will notice that bird has gotten freedom by using common sense. When someone offer you a huge return on investment (Ponzi) then you should use your common sense that how that's possible since there is no such as money making machine. When someone offer you to return your scammed money when you are regretting then you should use your common sense, first stop regret about your past mistakes, it will never return you what have left from your hands. Secondly use your common sense, since cryptocurrencies is irreversible so no one able to return your funds any way. Don't go against your common sense due to your emotions. You should use in your life what you know.
Hope you have learn from it especially those are newbies. Apologies for long post.
