Aren’t they? I ask my partner for investment opinions all the time.

Yes… That’s already how it works. Banks use heuristics to detect and prevent suspicious transactions. That’s why most of these scams ultimately involve crypto.
- microtonal 1y agoAren’t they? I ask my partner for investment opinions all the time. Obviously, the probability of it being a scammer reduces with the amount of time. In the end it's a function of time vs. effort. Scamming billionaires by marrying them and waiting until they die happens frequently enough. A 5 year scam for a few thousand bucks, unlikely. As usual, use common sense, which you would have to do anyway if you do investments.
- rafram 1y agoThere are lots of older people who have never really invested their money, have a lot in their savings account, and might be excited by the idea of a get-rich-quick crypto investment they hear about from someone they trust. Even if they’ve only known them for a little while.
