Don’t let yourself get scammed!
Keep your wealth safe!
I feel it’s only fair to be vulnerable for a moment (thanks NOSTR for your wonderfully honest space)…
Few years ago, I got scammed. At the time, the money I lost was an equivalent to 70% of my net worth. Suffice to say, it was a heart wrenching moment. Not only did I feel completely ashamed and stupid, I also felt a burning desire to rage, revenge and “get those fuckers”…
As you can imagine, I didn’t.
Regardless, thanks to financial prudence, moral support from my love and consistent effort in earning, saving and investing my money, I’ve recently crossed the milestone of raising my net worth back to the pre-scam state and above it.
It feelt great to do so.
Nevertheless, the sour aftertaste stayed with me.
That’s why yesterday’s episode of #CoinStories by nostr:nprofile1qqswmnfq2k830kvnylvyrezc97dsqce343qppqrwlgpqaux5qpuwdkspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuum5dahx2u3wvdhk6qgvwaehxw309a38yc3wd9hss3ycpz really hit me strong. Memories flooded back and I felt the emotions that revolved around me at the time. While it’s in the past and no longer affects me, it still is a sore topic for me to reflect upon.
Please, listen to the episode!
You won’t regret it!
Not only will it help you empathise with those “stupid people” that get scammed (like myself), but also recognise that those hurting you may be themselves getting hurt even more. The show made me reframe the way I feel about those few people who scammed me back then.
I hope they are okay. I pray for them as much as I pray for all of those that fall for such tricks.
All in all, stay safe and careful!
