Did you got your money back? Those scams are scary. I'm 42 so I guess I'm safe now hahaha
The scams I hate are on youtube. They pretend to be a live video, like from Cardano. but they say they are giving it away...send 100, we'll give you 1000 :/ I saw one the other day that had 7k people watching live ughhh comments were turned off of course.

I do like to risk a tiny amount of my total crypto investment on what I call lottery coins. I call it lottery cause I know the money is lost, like buying a lottery ticket. But unlike a lottery ticket, the value can go up if the meme wins on the internet. The gamble is making sure you take profit before it dips. I bought some safemoon for $20 early on and it's just keeps giving me money :)))) but some others are stagnant or tanked, so i just keep holding and hoping. I do do research to make sure it's not a total scam coin with a rug pull.
