It isn’t about stupidity. There are a lot of other factors to bear in mind; IMHO you aren’t stupid just beacuse you got scammed. And you don’t need to feel like that. Stupidity is blamming everything and everybody besides yourself, which you didn’t, so, recover and move on. cheers ---

My advice is to “pass the word”; and by that I mean to tell your friends/family/connections that may be interested in holding. We have a saying in Portugal that goes by, “quando a esmola é grande, o pobre desconfia”; which roughly means, when the alms is big, the poor gets suspicious. Simple as that when comes to this kind of scams. cheers ---
