Scammers don´t waste their time.

 I am not sure what is the reason, but recently lot of my new acquaintances on the internet is trying to lure me into trade crypto, they start chatting me and they introduce the topic soon or latter, usually they also find a reason to ask my phone number, like this example on the picture below. 

Almost immediately when I told here I did not use WhatsApp too much here in china because it is blocked by the Chinese government she blocked me. As I have wrote in some of my older posts, scammer want their scam to work easy and fast, they do not pursue the hard ones, that is why my strategy to probe the company before open up an account with them is nice way to avoid being scammed. 

It does take more time and work, but after all if you don´t want to regret it later, it is the way to go.

Here is the link to one of my post I talked about that (but it is in Portuguese):

MGG Forex: Como evitar a Fraude no mercado Forex.  

Why did he stop chatting ?

 

Internet is a interesting place, also very dangerous if you are not careful...

Recently I got many friendly invitation in facebook, it was always me reaching out, but I guess some change on the algorithm people are now asking to be my friend. From that experience I got lot of interesting conversations

I want you to notice that I did not accused the person of anything, but I was stating my concern about things I saw in his profile. If you are a sales person, that is what you want, an opportunity to solve your clients worries and concern, if you were able to do that you may close the sale. This is much better than if the perspective client just stop talking and you would never know the reason you could not make the sale...

If you see this conversation from this point of view you would have no reason to be mad at me to probing the person who asks to be my friend on facebook, but instead of being honest and open up, he decide to make himself not available at the end of the conversation.

My advice is: Never be afraid to probe people to see if they are good or honest. That is a lot of bad people at the internet. People with good intentions usually don´t run away like this guy did.
