Topic: It should be once bitten twice shy (but greed and emotions blinds people) (Read 167 times)

It is easy to say than to be done ,
People would know what did they do wrong or what other people have done wrong but there are times that we would just ignore it and do what we want even if it's wrong.
It is so easy to create a fake account on social media and make it look legit .
There are many ways if a scammer is good at it's work you couldn't dodge it.
Make a report?
Who where would you make a report police would just ignore this since most of the time they are unaware of it.
And avoid being greedy and emotional sentiments this is a hard thing to do specially for others greed is part of us ,
We couldn't deny it but all of us are greedy at something.

What do you mean by "Hide to instructions and guidelines."?Not following any instructions or trying to find the hidden meaning and purpose of the instructions?
The world is full with desperate,delusional,superstitious and plain stupid people.I don't think you could help them with a simple forum post.

I have always been online with regards to talking to people. When I was still young and playing lots of online games. I experienced something that I think almost all gamer has, a "somewhat" relationship online. With that being said, people who have managed to experience that wants to feel loved and cared about, in general, that's what we all want. Anyways, when I was playing and have this BF/GF relationship online with the characters, then suddenly, it changes course. Wanting to Pilot my character, then asking for my account. For a few days, it was okay. My character leveled up and I thought that person was to be trusted. Then I think everyone knows what happens next. It got hacked. All my items were gone when I logged in and everything I worked so hard for was gone. That's just it. Since then, I have become wary towards people I meet in games/online

At this point, few SHOULD fall victim to various cons and schemes, but unfortunately, many still do. I can't believe so many people still do fall victim to the various scams abound, but as stated in the thread title, greed and emotions leave people vulnerable. If it is too good to be true, it almost always is but some just are completely oblivious or think that since there is a slight hope they may gain love or riches, it is worth taking the chance.

In my years of experience in the internet and social media, I had a zero scam experience.

It is really easy to make sure to make your money safe and away to the fraud. Before entering something, we are so much lucky that there are a lot of articles available in the search engine today. So you just have to read and ready. Being scammed is really heartbreaking. Imagine working for that money and saved it a long time and you got scammed without any way of finding who robbed you. It is really emotionally depressing. I am happy to tell that nearly all of the people in my generation are so much aware and scam-proof.

There is a saying that goes once bitten twice shy and fool me once shame on you fool me twice can't put the blame on you. But actually in reality this is not happening so many people are getting fooled repeatedly.

There alot of ways people get defrauded especially via the internet. And this cause not just only financial loss butore often can lead to emotional breakdown

But soon Thomas demanded for a money as to rake a vacation leave to come and be with her, abey who is madly in love sent the money but soon to discover sergeant Thomas was actual femi a scammer.

People have seen how others get dupe as a result online dating and even social media platforms has took it upon themselves to sound the warning some stating vividly to accept requests from people you know or share mutual friends with and even some payment transfer agency sounds the scam alert warning.
