Was it greed?
Last month a friend sent a link to me . It was a link to a platform that offers to double your money in 30 days if you rent a virtual crypto mining machine.
The idea is that you put some amount of money the least is about $30 then it is used to purchase this so called virtual machine and in 30days you receive about $62. You could withdraw from $2 and above.
It sounded very juicy and my friend sent screenshots of his withdrawal to his local bank account. Since everything looked too good to be true, I decided not to register.
It's been over a month and last week I was scrolling through my messages, saw the link and click on it.
I don't know what happened but I convinced myself that this can't be a scam, they've operating for a while.
Guys, that was how I took money from my savings and put there about $80. Not so much or too much depending on where you're reading this from.
Two days later, I had accrued up to $7.5 and I placed a withdrawal.
About 24hours later I received the money in my local bank account.
I felt good, like 'okay, this is working and it's legit not scam.'
So I became an ambassador of the platform, got a friend registered using my referral link and put in about $150.
This happened few days ago.
And this morning.....
The platform became inaccessible without trace.
It has crashed. We've been scammed.
Reflecting on it from morning till now, I realized I let my greed overtake my intelligence.
I mean I waited for more than a month yet I didn't do due diligence and worst still...I got someone registered using my link...
Now that person is on my neck.
What do you think?
Was greed that got the better of me?
