Yeah a review post from Facebook adsI still find it hard to believe that people will fall for anything that's advertised on Facebook.Sure, if it's Mrs. Goggins from the village selling a chest of draws for a tenner, that's more than likely genuine. But aside from the genuine local "for sale" ads, pretty much every ad you see is either fake or scam. I really do struggle to believe that people still fall for this rubbish.

I think this syndicate combine this type of scam with the so called "attract the opposite gender scamming" since after I contacted this person who advertised the app, we moved to WhatsApp and talked about a lot of things, shared daily life photos, personal experiences etc for around 2-3 weeks before she later explained the app in more details etc and suggested me to try invest in a small amount first. All her photos and informations about her workplace etc were consistant in terms of date, location etc and it made me blind to gave it a shot to the app.CliveOfIndia said:blitzderspiegel said:

Sexism might be, but being attracted to the opposite sex is still very much alive !CliveOfIndia said:blitzderspiegel said:
