Thai authorities just busted dozens of scammers running those fake romance schemes and bogus investment traps online. You know the type — they slide into DMs promising love or quick riches, then vanish with your crypto.

Another reminder: if someone you've never met IRL is pitching you guaranteed returns or asking for funds, it's probably a setup. Stay sharp out there.

It's really absurd that people still fall for such low-level scams. Trusting this kind of nonsense without even meeting in real life—how unclear-headed can you be?

Thailand acted quickly this time, but it feels like just the tip of the iceberg... --- Nine out of ten sweet talkers in DMs are hunters; only a fool would believe them. --- It's the same old trick again. How are people still falling for it? --- Survival tip: If a stranger promises high returns, just block them. Ignoring is the safest move. --- Damn, these scammers really should all be caught. It's infuriating. --- Stable returns? Yeah right, that's just stable scamming.

The retail investors who got rekt have finally received some good news. When it comes to DeFi, it basically comes down to trust nobody, especially those whispering sweet nothings in your DMs. Thailand's law enforcement is being pretty tough this time, but unfortunately, these kinds of scammers are still growing unchecked in China.

ngl I've seen this kind of trick too many times. Eight or nine out of ten people who say they love you in your DMs are eyeing your wallet.

It's the same old trick again, really impossible to guard against. --- Romance scams are always a tool for scamming newbies, you have to be pretty dumb to believe a stranger's "I love you." --- Thailand's law enforcement did a good job this time, just worried those rats at home are still at large. --- Anyone in my DMs promising to double my money, I just delete them all with one click, nothing more to say. --- Who still falls for "guaranteed returns" these days... oh wait, some people actually do. --- Wanting money without even meeting in real life? Next. --- I just want to know why there are still people who trust someone they've never met, unbelievable.

This kind of romance scam is really unbelievable—the tricks are so old, yet people still fall for them.

Bro, that was a good catch, but it was too late—so many people had already been liquidated.
