I recently discovered that the owl hoots I thought were harmless actually symbolized despair. I was scammed by people posing as trustworthy investors who sent me small amounts of cryptocurrency to build my trust. Over time, as they kept paying, they also kept asking for more from me. Eventually, I invested my last funds, believing I would be paid in return—but I received nothing. Then they asked for even more money. Beware—scammers are becoming more sophisticated, using psychology at its highest level. They got me, and I don’t want them to get you too.
