Gratitude Day 26: How I Escaped Another Scam.

in gratitudeday26 •  6 years ago 

On so many occasions, in a bid to get more and more money, we fall into some very ugly situations all the time.
It is no news that there are so many types of ponzi schemes existing now, but because we are looking for ways to make ends meet and get money for daily survival, we fall into different ugly and terrible situations.

I belong to this group chat and some people have consistently been advertising this particular platform, where you can trade and make double profit.
I was not interested at first, but during the course of the week, I really needed money to meet up some needs and there was no where I could raise the money, then I decided to privately message one of the individuals who has been doing the advert.

I tried all I could to convince her to tell me the truth, and she told me she had made withdrawals from the platform twice and she even sent a screenshot of one of her friend who just received her money that morning.

I decided to put the little money I had left in my account into it with the aim that when I make profit, I will be able to raise the money I need.
I took a long time before I could register yesterday and then it became a very big issue to invest.

I spent hours trying to invest, but it was all to no avail, I was very angry with the network providers and I decided to go to bed with the decision to try again this morning.

I tried again today, but it was still not working and just as it was about to go through, I received a message from the young lady I was chatting with and she advised me not to register if I have not registered yet, because she just found out it was a scam and she is out.

I was really happy that I did not lose the little money I had to a ponzi scheme.
I was not happy I did not have enough money to do what I wanted to do, and I would have just lost the little I have again totally which would have been even more sad.

I am grateful for a saving grace!!!!! Halleluyah.
