After a painful scam episode, jotting down some important lessons to remind self.
1. DO NOT trust anyone from any social networks, be it Facebook, Instagram, WeChat, LINE, Telegram etc regarding investment or trading (be it Crypto or Stocks)
2. DO NOT make any payments to any untrusted crypto exchanges, wallets or platforms. Make sure the platform is listed on Coin Market Cap
3. If the crypto exchange / platform / app cannot be found and downloaded on AppStore / Google Play, it is most likely not legitimate
4. DO NOT be greedy
5. Do your own research and trust your instinct, rather than random people you know from social network
Tell-tale signs of a Scammer
1. He/She does not want you to video or voice call him/her
2. Social network is newly set up, look at the oldest post or photo posted. Look at below screenshot reference, at time of writing/being scammed, the oldest post is less than 2 months ago.
3. WhatsApp number is newly set up
4. Photos on Instagram feed are inconsistent, seems to have different people
Please be careful, do research before you invest your funds or trust anyone that reach out to you online or any social channels.
