That one influencer's 'easy money' crypto advice cost me $200
Followed this financial guru who got canceled later for shady deals. She said put $200 into this new coin, easy returns. I did it. Woke up two days later and it was worth $12. Lesson learned. Anyone else trust a canceled creator's advice and regret it?

Got burned the same stupid way with some guy who was always flashing rented lambos on Instagram. He said put in $300 and you will see MASSIVE returns overnight. I did it and checked the app the next day and it was basically all gone. Felt like such an idiot for falling for that crap when I already knew better. These people just pump their bags and dump on regular folks who don't know any better. Now I just ignore everyone who promises easy money because if it was that simple they wouldnt be selling it to random people online.

Oh man, that hurts. I fell for one of those "get rich quick" things too. Not crypto though. Some Instagram person said you could make cash "helping brands with surveys." Sent them $50 for the "starter kit" they said I needed. Got a PDF in return. A PDF I could've found for free on Google. Felt sick about it for a week. Now I just block anyone selling "secrets" or "systems." Hard lesson.
