The first Africa crypto project was established to steal people's money, when wakanda came out in towards July 2021 and did the burn in September, many people wasted their hard earn money to buy enough, I personally use $300 to buy wakanda which accumulate 2billion plus, but since then, wakanda never rise for once, only going down, my money is less than $10 remaining.
Please what is the aimed of those people doing fake crypto currency?
So sorry for you lost, I know it's a hard earn money, maybe this is just a wake up call to you, I mean you need to do your own research (DYOR), before investing your money. Initially there will be hype on projects, but you have to look if they have a good use case or just another project to be used by the creator for pump&dump. And in this case, it's the latter.
Obviously the aim of those people is to get as much money as they can and they themselves are going to sell it at the high price for instant profit. Yes, there are a lot of scammers here, so you better to really not to trust anyone or again, you need to be very careful of projects that you are going to invest.
