Even though $10 is a small amount of money, it's still your money and you have the right to feel bad about it. Scammers don't care about how much they are taking from you as long as it's money. It's why they are willing to use any means to get whatever they want.
I lost $28 when I invested in HYIPs. It is also not a really huge amount of money at all. However, despite this, I have learnt the lesson and made sure that I never in vest in such kind of HYIP sites ever because in the end, it is not at all worth it. The fact remains that it is much better to trade in real assets rather than wasting time with HYIPs.
