⚠️I ALMOST LOST $350 TO AN IG AD SCAM😭⚠️

hello lovelies! yes u read tht right... IG Ads are not trustable ❌❌❌ im not sure if this is some type of new scam going around, but i cant believe i alm fell prey into a scam 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ i alw thought to myself... aiya i cfm wont kena scam la. y ppl so stupid fall for scam, look so fake???? AND I ALM BECAME ONE OF THOSE PPL....

while i was scrolling through IG stories, an Ad appeared, it was an "CNA" article showing Influencer A being escorted by 2 officers, & the headline was abt how Influencer A career has ended. the headline got me, i was intrigued, i was like wht hpn to Influencer A? why she kena cancelled? like so juicy ah the article, let me click in 📰

🚩 i should hv noticed the baluku under her eyes looks edited & fake

🚩 and the sponsored Ad was by a profile "Marlana Til", never even hear before, but idk y i stoopid nvr go sus it

📰here's a short summary on what the article was abt:

• apparently Influencer A accidentally revealed a secret on a Live TV program, "R U OKAY?" & the Central Bank of Singapore was gg to sue her

• the secret to how she is so rich — she used Paragonix Earn, with minimum investment of $350, she can easily become a millionaire in 12-15 weeks

• the host didnt believed Influencer A, so Influencer A asked the host to pass her phone & Influencer A would show how she is going to help the host earn money in minutes with just $350

• the host was shook at the results be she earned $50 in 20 mins, apparently Paragonix Earn will help u auto trade cryptocurrencies so u can be clueless abt crypto but still earn money

• Central Bank of Singapore called the director or someone, and asked the show to be halt immediately

• Influencer A wasnt surprised & said the bank obv dw ppl to know how to make money fast & ok how long this "loophole" of earning money easily will last & encouraged ppl to faster sign up WHILE ITS FREE

before they start charging ppl for signing up

at the end of the article they mentioned they are not sure how long this article will be up for before it gets deleted bc its a SECRET & Central Bank of Singapore dosent want this to blow up....????

🚩 looking bck, this sounds TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, how was i so stupid ????

🚩 omg the whole convo actly sound so dumb & stupid but i still believe??? what was i thinking srsly

🚩LIMITED TIME, SIGN UP WHILE ITS STILL FREE

— this makes everyone who read the article to panic & du be FOMO, so everyone will faster sign up
