These days there are some serious scammers preying on people. Normally I have never met these kind of people, but I did meet a co-founder of Crowdify once, and he had some good ideas. To my surprise he was taking in allot of money via paypal, and just spending like crazy. Every time he setup an office it was a complete disaster, and when he tried to take all of the crypto stored for the crypto part of the project he was pushed out by the other founder.
Now his past is revealed, and we now know he has a long history of scams, being blocked from going to some countries, and even possible governmental issues in his home country of New Zealand.
What this does is shed allot of light that these kind of people will never take responsibility for their actions, and just throw out accusations, and think just by lying about others they somehow are accomplishing something. Anytime you see someone asking for money or crypto from you, and has no history of success, and no knowledge of what they are even talking about it's most likely a scam.
Here on steemit there are allot of good people wanting to get into new startup projects, and the scammers are close behind looking to steal, hurt, and destroy. They are cowards, and will never confront you face to face since that is what cowards do. They actually think they are anonymous, and you cannot trace, and track them down if someone really wanted too. These kind of people always meet their end, and people watch them destroy themselves, and in their own mental pain they try to take a few people with them.
So be careful out there in this wild wild west of crypto investing, and know that scammers are counting on your lack of knowledge of something new; so they can steal your hard earned finances.
