I just posted my experience on one of these scams yesterday. [HYIP scams!](https://leofinance.io/@ahmadmanga/my-experience-with-hyip) I totally agree with what you said about *"they know this and create attractive narratives, that tug on peoples heartstrings and weak points."* I even wrote in that article about how it succeeded on me: > Then why? Why Intelligent people like myself fall for this? > * **Short Answer: Because we're not using our brains enough!** Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@ahmadmanga/re-chekohler-5g8fvs)

I'm sorry to hear you got scammed, Its a tough realisation and can be an expensive lesson, and one I hope we all don't have to repeat. I think we all long for a little bit of guidance once we leave school and you're on your own and some offer that mentorship only to get into your pockets

I actually look at it more like s a lesson I needed to learn, because I really should've seen it coming.
