It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled. Many on that board are accredited investors or have been around only nasdaq, and have not seen the otc. Many with big following on ihub go from one board to another, promoting the hot runners, which are almost always scams. They know it, but promote as if there were not. The best scams are the ones where you can go to Walmart and see the product; those suck in quite a few. But once you trade the otc and have been around a few boards, you start seeing reality of some people
