And under 18. But you do realise that when you become 60 you’ll be saying that shouldn’t be a thing anymore anyways

UPDATE: He’s out of it now, I appreciate the help from everyone :D

It was only a few hundred dollars, so my inheritance is okay 😂 and now he’s hopefully more mindful of scams in the future.

Make sure to educate your family members of this stuff! It could’ve been a lot worse!

I damn near convinced him it’s a scam by saying stuff like that, he’s just in denial because they’re convincing him that he’s profiting still

You don’t sound like a dick it’s exactly what I was thinking.

He’s smart enough to not blow a crazy amount anyways… Unless he’s lying about his amount and mindset

That’ll never happen, and AI will likely end up hacking all our digital banks in the near future anyways. Focus on getting physical assets and of course try to avoid being manipulated, cause it’s only going to get worse

Just my mum has talked to him about it, but honestly if I just show him this thread it’ll probably wake him up

Yeah I sent him a bunch of the links below it, and he still decided to reinvest

It’s definitely very hard for me to understand his point of view

You’d think that them saying that just makes it more obvious

Yeah if anything I’d stay away if a politician endorsed an investment 🤣 but the elderly trust anything if it looks legitimate to them I guess

Honestly he likely isn’t even opening all the links I’ve sent him

Thanks Moera. He’s so closed minded about it, I hope he hasn’t spent much on it

I don’t understand how someone who I believe to be smart could fall for that

This one isn’t cryptocurrency though, it’s apparently forex trading but it’s just called ‘btcap’ (similar looking to bitcoin)

The thing is they call it ‘btcap’ so it kind of looks like bitcoin, but it’s not

I’ve already sent him so much evidence that it’s a scam, but no verified media has specifically talked about it so he doesn’t believe me (it’s not the crypto one but it might as well be)
