MODERATORS
I once knew someone who got locked in.
I'm not sure how long they were in for but by the time I learned about it they were $75k+ in.
They met on some app that I can't remember what it was called. One of the weird ones that was in the news. Some sort of messaging app.
Anyway, the person I knew was some sort of computery accountant type person (not sure exactly what they did just know it involved both lol) so I was shocked that they fell for it.
They asked me to help them so I tried but they went right back to it. What's crazy is the person scamming them gave them access to an account that had like $1M in it. So I'm not sure why they believed the person needed money?? So weird.
My tip is: do not give anyone money. Ever.
