The greediness of humans is a very natural thing and little or more every human has it. Greediness for money is a very common nature of humans and it is also one kind of weakness. And a scammer tries to take full advantage of the weakness. Considering the greediness of humans they set traps for people and naturally many people became victims of their well-planned trap.

In the past, those kinds of scammers were only available offline but now because of technological development we are living in a digital world and most of our work is highly dependent on online activities. With time scammers are also getting updated and now in the virtual world, there are many scammers and scamming online has increased a lot compared to offline scammers and online scamming has become easier compared to past times.

In my life, I became a victim of scammers a few times. Today I am going to share one of them.
It was the time when I was admitted to my University and I was staying in a mess. At that time online earning was not a common thing and nobody naturally believed in such kind of thing. In my earlier age I was determined to earn from online and I have made several efforts but none of them worked. I never lose the hope to earn from online. Whenever I talked about my thoughts on how to earn from online, my mom demotivated me each time saying "If people could earn money staying at home, nobody would have gone outside for work ". I don't blame my mother for having such kind of thought because at the time it was in practical thoughts..

So after I was admitted to university I was trying to make opportunities to earn money. It was because I was trying to be self dependent and it's quite natural. One day two messmates informed me that earning money online is very easy and they were going to open an account on one site. In that site one needed to invest 20 $ in the beginning and each day 1 $ was allowed to be earned. And the minimum withdrawal was 15 $. I was very much interested in this project and I gained details about it. I was able to acknowledge that there was an office nearby. That was the reason I was planning to invest there. But for security, I was waiting for the withdrawal of my messmates. Exactly after 15 days they went to the office and came back with a cash withdrawal and without making any delay I invested there.

I was confident that I would receive the withdrawal. I was smart and so I decided to earn 20 $ and then withdraw to take my seed money back. After earning 20 $ I went to the office to make the withdrawal. The owner of the company told me that because of the server error withdrawal system was delayed. 1 or 2 days interval I went to their office many times. Each time the owner gave me various kinds of excuses. Within a few days, I started to lose hope of my money because I understood that I made a mistake and it was a wrong decision to invest there. Inside of me I was crying but my money stuck there and I could not show my anger to the owner because my money was in his hand. At that time how bad I felt couldn't be expressed in words. Indeed now 20 $ is not a huge thing for me but at that time it was huge money for me. In fact in the current time also it's not so little.

The owner was showing some other project where I needed to invest more money thinking that I didn't understand his strategy. I just left the office. There were many who suffered a loss like me. After some days the office disappeared which means the owner run away with other people's money.

It was the thing which made a huge impact on my mind and after that time I never tried to invest in any site. It was a life lesson for me and that made me realise that the world was not as good as I used to think. There are many people who play with other assets and emotions. People don't hesitate to harm others for their own benefit. I was inexperienced and wasn't able to figure out the reality of the cruel world. I was just trying to be self dependent but I faced financial loss in that case. There I got another important lesson and the lesson is without making any effort it's almost impossible to make money from the beginning.
