I believed the company was legitimate when I first came across it, and that belief made me comfortable moving forward. Later, I began to suspect that I had made a mistake, and I spent a long time thinking the money I had given was gone. It was a difficult situation, but in the end, I was able to recover it. The lesson I took from this is to always pause, double-check, and never rush decisions, no matter how convincing something might look at first glance.
