If you ask for help from criminals, you will become a victim, initially inform yourself as much as you can, before having conversations with someone, think about what their purpose is.
If you analyze the people who write to you, they want to use you or take money from you, for example I would take money from you to teach you, they will take money from you for something fake most likely.
The difference is made by education, an educated man will commit a much more serious scam than a poorer fellow, an educated man has principles and aims high, he does not look at how to take advantage of those inferior to him.
