RE: Getting scammed - a personal story
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I was dragged into a similar one(or perhaps even the same one!). My friend tried to convince me to join but I said I've been in crypto for so long that I know it's a scam and said no. Then my friend introduced me to her friend who had been in for some time and apparently got greedy.
This wealthy lawyer wanted to move to a higher tier and needed refs to do that. He had over €10k there and wanted to pay me in with a free €80! At that point, I couldn't refuse. I clicked it every day and somewhere near €200 I was thinking about withdrawing but this time it was me who got greedy and poof, they closed the shop.
So, I didn't lose any money with that and therefore don't feel that about it but do feel bad for everyone else. For regular people who put their savings into it.
What's even crazier is that cos of that I'm still in this TG group where people join similar ones KNOWING that they are the same kinda scams but they speculate on how long these shops stay up! Crazy. Just crazy.
It sounds as if it is the same.
Does is name has to do with ocean? 😅
My friend also had several refs, and managed to get out with profit, because they would withdraw every 3 days. My amount was so small, that I wanted to wait a bit for it to make sense.
I guess it is ok if someone participates knowing the risk.
We need to remember that everyone is responsible for their own actions so they should do their own research and always be safe
Thanks for sharing your experience!

It was called Byteswap but there seem to be so many of these around. I agree that putting money in those knowing the risks is ok if there's an exit planned. It's like gambling but in my opinion, it's not so cool anymore if they keep luring friends in and being vague about the fact that it's going down soon.
